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.

If you're not sure how you want to partner with HubSpot, you can explore all of our partner programs here.

 

2. Does my audience align with HubSpot's?

If your content targets business professionals looking to grow their business, then a partnership with HubSpot is a great opportunity.

  • Startups
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Scaling businesses
  • Business owners
  • Marketers
  • Salespeople
  • 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.

4. Is my content free of quality errors?

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.

Is there any placeholder text?

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?
Here are some quick design suggestions:
  • Embrace white space
  • Keep your site pages consistent
  • Use quality and relevant images
  • Optimize your page speed
  • Segment key information with bullet points

Do my links work?

Avoid leaving your visitors at a dead end by updating your links regularly and optimizing your 404 page with:

  • A search box
  • Helpful and relevant links
  • Your brand personality

5. Is it clear how I will promote HubSpot?

If you’re unsure, you can:

  • 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.
