We think Content Snare is great and would love to share it with everyone, but we know that statistically, new people are going to listen to recommendations from existing users more than directly from us. So, we’ve created an affiliate program where we can send you a ‘thank you’ for anyone you share Content Snare with, and who signs up as a paid user. Simple.
