Adobe Affiliate Program

Adobe needs no introduction. Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Lightroom and Acrobat are the industry standard, and Creative Cloud is the subscription that delivers them. Search volume for Adobe tutorials, pricing and discounts dwarfs every other creative tool, which is why its affiliate program is one of the most valuable in the category despite the one time payout.

The program pays 85 percent of the first month's subscription fee on monthly plans and on annual plans paid monthly, and a smaller percentage on annual prepaid plans, with no ongoing commission after that. The cookie is 30 days. Adobe runs the program on Partnerize, provides ready to publish banners and text links, and is free to join. Applications are reviewed, and Adobe looks for content sites, educators and creators with relevant audiences. Adobe Stock and Document Cloud products are included in the program.

Because Creative Cloud All Apps costs more than most software subscriptions, 85 percent of one month is a meaningful bounty, and seasonal promotions push conversion higher.

Adobe converts from Photoshop and Premiere tutorials, Creative Cloud pricing and discount guides, best photo editing software roundups, student discount content and Lightroom preset tutorials. The brand does the selling; your content needs to catch the buying moment.
