<b>The annual-plan trick that makes recurring feel like one-time</b>

New to recurring? Here's something subtle. When a customer picks the <i>annual</i> plan instead of monthly, your recurring commission can arrive as one big yearly lump instead of twelve small ones — and that changes how it feels and when it pays.

1. Monthly plan: $30/month, you get 20% = $6/month, twelve times a year.
2. Annual plan: $300/year (a discount for them), you get 20% = $60, paid once.
3. Same customer, but annual means a bigger single payment and lower churn — yearly subscribers cancel less.

<i>In plain English:</i> annual subscribers pay you less often but stick around longer, so your income is lumpier but steadier.

Worked example: over two years, the annual customer likely renews once more = $120 total, often beating the monthly customer who churned at month seven.

Tiny action: in your content, gently point readers toward the annual plan. It's cheaper for them and stickier for you.
