Today's lesson: a free checklist that lifted sign-ups 60%

New to recurring? Adding value to your offer pays off. An affiliate promoted a recurring design tool ($18/mo, 30% = $5.40/mo each) and got 10 sign-ups a month.

1. He created a free 'setup checklist' and offered it to anyone who signed up through his link.
2. The small bonus made his link the obvious choice over a bare recommendation.
3. Sign-ups rose ~60% to 16 a month — that's 6 extra customers × $5.40 = ~$32/mo more recurring, every month.

The checklist took him an afternoon to make once.

In plain English: a small free extra, made once, can tip readers into signing up through you instead of someone else.

Try today: think of one simple bonus (a checklist, a template, a quick guide) you could offer alongside your main recurring link.
