Strikingly Affiliate Program

Strikingly is a simple website builder known for one page sites, portfolios and small business pages, with ecommerce, a blog, memberships and a free plan that has attracted millions of users worldwide, including a large base in Asia. It was a Y Combinator company and remains one of the easier builders for people who want a site live in an afternoon.

The affiliate program pays 50 percent of the payments a referred customer makes in their first year and 20 percent recurring on payments after that, according to Strikingly's own affiliate FAQ; some network listings show a flat 30 percent instead, so confirm which structure your account has. There is no minimum payout, and commissions are paid monthly by PayPal. Applications are reviewed through the affiliate page, and Strikingly publishes a beginner's guide to promoting it. The cookie length is not stated.

Half of a first year on annual plans is a strong upfront commission, and the trailing 20 percent rewards long term customers.

Strikingly converts from easiest website builder roundups, one page website tutorials, small business and portfolio site guides, Carrd and Wix alternative comparisons and content for international audiences where Strikingly's localisation is a strength. Its free plan lowers the barrier for readers who want to try before paying.
