No, just looking for recommendations at this point. Are you referring to programmatic networks? I saw some sources recommending Taboola

#marketing-paid - December 11, 2025 at 06:12 AM

Thanks! I was seeing recommendations for Reddit and Pinterest as they are a little more relaxed, might give it a go.

Looking for alternative traffic acquisition recommendations for a brand in the adult toys/women's wellness category. Anticipating more ad restrictions from Meta/Google and looking to have other options available to quickly transition budget to in the event our accounts get shut down.

Anyone familiar in the space or have recommendations of where else we can run ads without breaking rules

#marketing-seo-affiliates - October 28, 2025 at 08:11 PM

I'd say it depends on a handful of factors:
• Which specific gift guides (Highly trafficked?, audience alignment with ICP, what position in the gift guide, etc.)
• Is there a flat fee associated with inclusion
Sometimes it's just a matter of outreach and the right affiliate offer to be included and the right gift guides can do wonders for a brand, especially around this time of year.

#marketing-seo-affiliates - October 28, 2025 at 04:02 PM

There's not a ton of difference between the traditional affiliate partners, I'd say it's more preference based. Impact tends to have more custom features when compared to Rakuten, Awin, etc. but they're all old clunky tracking platforms

Many of the gift guides/product recommend pubs utilize skimlinks which each of the platforms mentioned above have partnerships with. But you can also work with skimlinks directly.

The platform you choose won't get you into the gift guides, that will all come down to outreach and relationships you build

In full transparency I have not played with this yet, but I've followed this guy for good incrementality testing knowledge in the past and apparently they just released a tool for setting up and running incrementality tests. Free for 6 months

Could be something to look into as you'e trying to figure out the real value of GMV Max, here's the post:

@Danny C just DM'd you

#marketing-seo-affiliates - September 12, 2025 at 05:54 PM

Or work with a quality partner who knows what they're doing 😉

#marketing-seo-affiliates - September 12, 2025 at 05:51 PM

Lots of trash in affiliate. Makes sense to have a smaller, more qualified roster of partners versus the mass influx of coupon and deals sites that most of the affiliate platforms recommend to you

#marketing-seo-affiliates - September 11, 2025 at 03:50 PM

I'd keep an eye on a lot of the affiliate network partners. I dig into them often via more reports>Performance by Partner Shared Id and then filter by the specific partner your digging into. That and the Performance by Full Referring URL will help you identify any funny business.

A lot of partners will get banned from the program but sneak into your program via affiliate networks and this is a good way to catch them. You can then setup custom payouts by shared id preventing them from taking higher commission payouts

Welcome to the group <@U09F4EGL0JU> used to live in San Diego, but now I'm up in Oceanside.

Still very much paradise!

#marketing-seo-affiliates - September 10, 2025 at 09:24 PM

If anything the presence on the coupon site can cause them to steal last click attribution credit from your actual performing partners. Which if adjusted to a low percentage would save you on commission payouts, but I don't view this as being a moral/ethical way to run your affiliate program.

Just my 2 cents, hope this is helpful

#marketing-seo-affiliates - September 10, 2025 at 09:22 PM

I'd recommend turning it off if you're just seeing coupon and cash back type sites.

I believe they also have a partner account on Impact if you still want to maintain a partnership with them, but I don't think that's even worth it. If you do decide to partner with them on Impact, I'd adjust the commission down as low as possible (0.1% or lower)

It'll drive revenue still and give you an opportunity to have some visibility on the coupon/cashback sites they're associated with, but I don't believe those are actually driving any incremental revenue.

<@U07J4NG4MFT> to their inbox via email, DM, or alternative prospecting method. Research who would be the best fit for your brand (Truly authentic) vs finding a platform that consolidates those interested in free product.

In my experience the manual method works better and also gives valuable experience to understand your niche across multiple platforms (IG, TikTok, Youtube, etc.). Recommend doing this internally or hiring a professional team to help you out.

#introduce-yourself - August 29, 2025 at 04:28 PM

Welcome to the group <@U08RJ7LPQTT>. I'm at an age where all my friends are having children and after chatting about their journeys, this is way more common than I ever imagined. Andrew Schulz recent special also shed a lot of light on this subject.

Hoping your brand is taking advantage of this awareness and helping some guys out

#marketing-content - August 27, 2025 at 04:19 PM

<@U097BUQMX3R> I'd recommend a qualifying process, especially with those requesting to work with you. $175 isn't cheap. If they really want to work with you, ask them to create something before sending product out. e.g. "I can't wait for my order of... to come in". or "I just partnered with BRAND and I can't wait to try out..."

This has helped me qualify legit partners, avoid getting ghosted, and at a bare minimum gets you one piece of awareness content in front of their audience.

<@U09BB2XL45S> I don't have any platform recommendations, but I do this via a manual process quite successfully if you'd like to chat

#introduce-yourself - August 20, 2025 at 04:20 PM

You've go the right attitude! Wishing you the best of luck

#marketing-content - August 19, 2025 at 05:54 PM

Thanks Nick! Just sent you a DM

#marketing-content - August 18, 2025 at 10:33 PM

What brand is this for Nick? In my experience, the marketplace route doesn't tend to work well. You get general partners who tend to lack any true passion for the product they're reviewing.

It's better to have an active recruitment effort so that you can find partners with true alignment to the brand. This also helps to avoid any agent/management costs.

Additionally this can work towards your effort of finding solid UGC partners as many quality YT creators also have a decent following on social.

Happy to chat through this in more detail if you want to DM. I've found success in this area for a few different brands that I work with

#jobs-and-talent - July 16, 2024 at 08:59 PM

Thanks @Christian Umbach not for Amazon

@Chirag Kulkarni Great stuff! Really enjoyed that overview

SEO Content Development Support Needed
• Looking for a contracted partner to work with to develop content for a larger online printing company (Booklets, magazines, print on demand, etc.)
• Short form + Long form content created on a deliverable fee is the type of engagement I am looking for
• The brand is looking to expand into other markets beyond US and UK so bonus points for anyone who can support German content and eventually Japanese
• Please feel free to dm me with any relevant work, pricing, etc.
Also open to working with any content focused businesses as opposed to freelancers. I'm all ears if you have the right solution.

#marketing-cx-cs-retention - May 23, 2024 at 03:36 PM

It's making more sense to me why you're the man getting people to move from Klaviyo to Sendlane! Really appreciate the info and guidance here, Thanks Jimmy!

#marketing-cx-cs-retention - May 17, 2024 at 09:30 PM

Consumer app with no purchase or ecommerce component. There is a gaming and banking aspect of it that the owner is looking to grow.

Would leverage email and push notifications for app engagement, and moving along the journey to sign up/engage with the wallet and credit card component.

Sorry for being vague, still in pitch

#marketing-cx-cs-retention - May 14, 2024 at 06:34 AM

To start no, but they are dedicating a decent ad spend on growth channels so could quickly change. It's a new app, so starting at zero contacts and need to build out basic retention initially

#marketing-cx-cs-retention - May 14, 2024 at 06:33 AM

Thank you!

#marketing-cx-cs-retention - May 13, 2024 at 04:09 PM

^ Following up on yesterdays question as I imagine many were not active here on a Sunday. Any help would be greatly appreciated

#marketing-cx-cs-retention - May 12, 2024 at 11:28 PM

Any recommendations for an email platform for an iOS app (Will soon be on Google Play as well). I've worked with Braze in the past, and am unsure if common partners like Klaviyo/sendlane work well integrating with apps.

#general-chat - September 21, 2023 at 06:43 PM

Hi @Rachel Connors can you please share the PR/Affiliate brands contact info?

#jobs-and-talent - September 21, 2023 at 06:36 PM

Little late here, but happy to talk if you're still looking for an affiliate consultant @Joe Cornfield
