Know publishers?
That’s worth 20%.
Refer a publisher to OptiPub and earn 20% of everything they spend in their first 12 months. Paid monthly, as their revenue comes in. No caps.
A single established publisher can be worth five figures in commission. Even the smallest account pays four.
A real client profile, not a ceiling. OptiPub bills on sending volume, and serious publishers run five-figure monthly invoices. Even the smallest account on the $800/mo base plan pays you $1,920 in year one. No cap in either direction.
You’re not pitching software. You’re pitching inbox placement.
OptiPub owns and operates its own email infrastructure. Every client gets dedicated servers, IPs, and queues, so their sending reputation is entirely their own. That’s a pitch that lands with anyone whose revenue depends on email.
Deliverability is the product
Private infrastructure, adaptive delivery, and Postmaster+ monitoring included with every account. Clients typically see deliverability lift within weeks of migrating.
Support people brag about
Every client gets a dedicated Slack channel with direct access to the team, including the founders. No tickets, no bots. Read the reviews; it’s the thing clients mention first.
Low churn, long commissions
Custom onboarding, white-glove migration, and fast feature turnaround keep clients on the platform. Your 20% pays for the full first year because clients stay.

- Ideal referrals: publishers, newsletter operators, and email-heavy businesses that take sending seriously

Everything you need to close, nothing you have to build
“Why not best-in-class point tools?”
Your prospects will ask. Here’s the answer that closes: in practice, “best-in-class stack” means five vendors, five logins, fragmented data, siloed reporting, and five points of failure. OptiPub puts email, SMS, CRM, landing pages, automation, and revenue tracking in one system, on infrastructure the client owns outright.
- One source of truthEngagement, revenue, and deliverability data in one place, tied to every campaign.
- One vendor to callAnd it’s a vendor that answers in Slack within the hour.
- Lower total costOne platform bill replaces a stack of subscriptions, and pricing is public.
- No integration decayNothing breaks when a third-party API changes, because there isn’t one in the critical path.
The product your referrals will thank you for
“Immediate improvement in our email deliverability and overall campaign performance. The onboarding process was thorough.”

Jason P., CTO“Email deliverability has improved, segmentation is excellent, and their team always goes above and beyond.”
Kara T., Marketing ManagerThe fine print, in plain English
How exactly does the 20% work?
You earn 20% of all revenue your referred client generates in their first 12 months on OptiPub: base plan plus volume-based messaging charges. Commissions are paid monthly as the client’s invoices clear.
What counts as a qualified referral?
A prospect who books a demo through your tracked link or a direct introduction, passes our client vetting, and becomes a paying OptiPub client. Attribution is tracked in your partner dashboard from first click to payout.
Who makes a good referral?
Publishers, newsletter operators, and email-heavy businesses that treat sending as a revenue channel. Financial publishing is where we’re deepest, but any high-volume, ethical sender is a fit. If you’re unsure, ask us before you make the intro.
What if my referral isn’t accepted?
We vet every client to protect deliverability for everyone on the platform. If a referral isn’t a fit, we’ll tell you quickly and explain why, so your relationship with them stays intact.
Is there a cap on what I can earn?
No. Refer one client or fifty. Every qualified referral pays 20% of their first-year revenue.
Do I have to do the selling?
No. You make the introduction, and our team runs the demo, the close, and the onboarding. Partners who want to be more hands-on get demo access and deal support in the partner Slack channel.
Your network is already worth something. Monetize it.
Applications are reviewed by a real person, usually within two business days. Approved partners get their toolkit and tracked link the same week.
