Affiliate recruitment
You run the program. We find the publishers. We start with our own network of publisher sites, reach out to sites that already write about your niche, and get each new affiliate to a first link, not just a signup.
How we recruit
We measure recruiting by affiliates who publish and sell, not by signups.
01
Publisher network matches
We start with publisher sites we own or work with. If one fits your niche, we tell you our relationship with it before the introduction, and you decide whether to approve it.
02
Outreach
We find sites that already write about your category and pitch each one personally, with your commission and what makes your product worth promoting. Everyone we contact goes on a shared list, so you can see the outreach as it happens.
03
Onboarding and activation
A signup isn’t the goal. We send each new affiliate your links, creative, and key selling points, and follow up until they publish a first link or review.
04
Placements on niche sites
Where a site in our network fits, we suggest where your product could appear, such as a review, comparison, or resource page, and agree it with you first. Most earn your normal commission. Some publishers ask for a flat fee to guarantee a spot. When they do, we tell you the cost before anything is booked, and you decide. The publisher keeps editorial control.
Brands that get the most from it
It fits brands that already run their program and need more of the right publishers promoting it.
A strong fit if
- You run your affiliate program yourselves
- Too few affiliates have joined, or few of them sell
- Your affiliates are mostly customers or coupon sites
- You want to reach a new niche or audience
Probably not a fit if
- Nobody runs your program yet
- You want a guaranteed number of affiliates
- Your category is one publishers won’t promote
- You only want paid placements
- Your product sells for under about $20 a month
A small monthly fee, plus a share of what our recruits sell
The $250 covers the outreach. The 10% only applies to customers sent by affiliates we recruited, so it only grows when your revenue does.
Affiliate Recruitment
From $250/mo
Plus 10% of net revenue from customers sent by affiliates we recruit, for 12 months from the day each one joins. After that, our share on them ends. 2-month minimum.

FAQ
Pricing, results, our publisher network, outreach, and commitment. If your question isn’t here, ask it in the form at the top of the page.
How many affiliates will we get?
We don’t promise a number. We report everyone we contacted, who joined, and who started publishing, every month.
What’s your publisher network?
Publisher sites we work with or own. When one fits your niche, we tell you about the relationship before introducing them, and you approve every affiliate.
Do your network sites charge for placements?
Usually not. They earn your normal commission. Some publishers ask for a flat fee to guarantee a spot. If one does, we tell you the cost first, and you decide. A paid spot is never booked without your OK.
Do you recruit coupon sites?
Only if you ask us to. We focus on sites that write about your category.
How do you reach out to publishers?
Personally, one site at a time, following anti-spam rules. No bulk email blasts.
What counts toward the 10%?
Net revenue from customers referred by affiliates we recruited, as your affiliate platform tracks it, after refunds and chargebacks. Renewals count. Affiliates you already had, or who find you on their own, don’t.
Is your 10% on top of what we pay affiliates?
Yes. They’re two separate amounts. Affiliates we recruit earn the same commission rate as your others. We earn 10% of the sale itself, not a cut of their commission. On a $100 sale with a 20% commission, the affiliate gets $20, we get $10, and you keep $70.
Do we need an affiliate program already?
Yes. Recruitment fills a program you already run, with your commission rates already set. If you don’t have one yet, Affiliate Program Setup builds it, or Affiliate Program Management builds and runs it for you.
How do you know which affiliates are yours and which are ours?
Before anyone joins, we add them to a shared list of publishers we’ve contacted. If someone on that list joins, they’re our recruit. If they’re not on it, they aren’t. You approve every affiliate either way.
What happens after 12 months?
Our share on each affiliate we recruit runs for 12 months from the day they join. After that, you keep all the revenue from their sales and owe us nothing more.
How is it billed?
The $250 at the start of each month. The 10% the month after, from your affiliate platform’s own report, so there’s no separate tracking to trust.
What if we stop?
The monthly fee stops. The 10% keeps running on affiliates we already recruited for up to 6 more months, and never past each one’s 12-month window.
Can we move up to Affiliate Program Management?
Yes. The Recruitment fee stops, and your recruits move over to Management’s 15%, so nothing is charged twice.
How long is the commitment?
Two months to start, then month to month.
