Sales page for affiliate program sparks ideas for creators

Descript’s affiliate page is a masterclass in making people say “yes.” It’s packed with examples, testimonials, visuals, and a dead-simple process.

Marketing analysis

Instead of talking about “affiliate commissions,” Descript shows what success looks like. The top collage of creators immediately answers the question: “Can I do this too?” Then it walks visitors through an easy 3-step process, proving that monetary reward is within reach.

Why it works

• Shows social proof everywhere (real creators and testimonials)
• Uses simple, visual steps to lower friction
• Highlights recurring income—the ultimate motivator
• Provides immediate CTAs to reduce hesitation
• Feels credible thanks to real, specific endorsements

Examples
