Before submitting your application, make sure you can answer yes to the following questions:
Is the affiliate program the right HubSpot partner program for me?
Does my audience align with HubSpot's audience?
Do I have a website?
Is my content free of quality errors?
Is it clear how I will promote HubSpot?
1. Is the affiliate program the right program for me?
The HubSpot Affiliate Program is sometimes mistaken for the Solutions Partner Program, so we want to make sure you understand the difference between the two partner programs.
You can be in both programs at the same time. However, the way in which you promote HubSpot differs.
Affiliate Program
For bloggers, review sites, and other content creators who want to monetize their content and help businesses grow better.

Customer service teams
Operations managers
3. Do I have a website?
A live website is required as part of the application process in addition to any social media platforms.
One exception is we may accept your application if your main site is a YouTube channel or TikTok account, but these must have sufficient relevant business content (see the example below). With that being said, if you only include your Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest link, your application is unlikely to be accepted per our program requirements.
If you recently developed a new website or if it’s been a while since you’ve audited your website, we recommend double-checking the following.
Is my website active?
If your website is under construction, we can’t review your content. So, we suggest making any major updates to your website before applying to the program to ensure that we can view your content.
Sometimes placeholder text is accidently left behind after creating a new website or using a page template. Be sure to remove any extra placeholder text and elements, as these can be negatively perceived by your website visitors.
Does my website have a user-friendly design and interface?
Add multiple links in the “Promotional Information” section of the application
Send us an email at affiliates@hubspot.com to share more details about your business and promotion plans
The more relevant information you provide, the better! That gives us the context we need to make an informed decision, and ultimately increases your chances of being accepted into the program.
We’d love to partner with you.
