AI voice dictation app Wispr Flow shared its growth playbook: since launching in September 2024, revenue grew 150x and its user base grew 200x, powered largely by an affiliate program built on Dub.co.
The program grew to thousands of active partners, driving 1M+ new users with $300K+ in partner payouts at roughly 4x average ROAS.
Key tactics:
- Tiered reward structures: 25% one-year revshare, flat cost-per-lead fees, and geo-specific cost-per-click rates for premium publishers
- Bounties to incentivize partners to keep producing content
- Risk monitoring to catch paid traffic abuse and self-referrals
- Partner groups with differentiated incentives by partner type
