1 Adobe 85% revenue share first month, $72 CPA for stock photos.

Adobe is a world-known brand for its top design software suite with apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. If you have not yet heard of these apps you just need to know that they are the industry standard when it comes to web and digital design.

Their software suite is a SaaS product, meaning that they require subscriptions instead of one-time payments. I would like to see them offer a recurring commission payout for this product.

Their stock photo site features of course photos, but also videos, 3D assets, and templates for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro. This makes this stock site rather unique and very useful to active customers of their software suite products. It also integrates with Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC.
