Skype is one of the world’s most well known instant messengers today with over 196 million registered users and over half a billion downloads.
Skype was founded in 2003 and in this “small time” has made an incredible name for itself.
The Affiliate Program
Amazingly the Skype affiliate program states that some of their affiliate earn up to $2000 a day. For a piece of messenger software like this I never thought that would be possible but the products they offer to their members is somewhat revolutionary.
They offer 25% commission on purchases of Skype premium products and between 7.5% and 11% on their hardware and accessory sales.
Services include:
- Call phones and mobiles
- Your own unique number
- Forward calls to phones
- Send SMS Messages
- Voice mail service
They also sell products like Skype phones, webcams, headsets and more.
Good reasons to promote Skype
- Well 1st off, there are already endless users using skype, so it’s a good reason for any user to download and use the software
- The services are really really cheap. I compared it to international calling and it’s +/- 50% cheaper than phoning from landlines to other countries. In some countries it’s cheaper to use Skype rather than your own telecommunication providers.
- Skype is almost in EVERY country so that means you can run your ads almost on any website and don’t have to worry that you might loose leads.
Affiliated Networks
Skype doesn’t maintain their own affiliate program but rather uses 3 networks to cater for different languages:
So if you think you might have a good website to promote Skype on, goto their Affiliates page and Signup.

Thanks for the tip. I can easily promote Skype on my travel blog.
Also, thank you for letting me know about the affiliate program. I belong to Skype as well, have been for a very long time. I have about 30 Skype friends. This will be great!
Ye, had a look at it a while ago, but never bothered – perhaps now is a good time
I had no idea either, and I am already a CJ member. Guess I better go browse the venders again. Thanks for the heads up!
@Annie – I see you have the Skype banners up. Let us know what your conversions are
Likewise, I didn’t know, and I adore Skype so can talk from the heart.

I knew that Voip was a good market, but for whatever reason I never promoted although I use them all the time.
It’s a good reminder.
