Hey everyone,

I’ve recently set up an affiliate program for my SaaS and I’m trying to figure out how to actually grow it with the right partners.

Quick context: the product helps businesses grow their presence on Google and AI search by automatically generating and publishing high-quality SEO articles in their brand voice.

We’re offering 30% recurring commission per customer, and I’m mainly looking for affiliates in the SEO / content / SaaS / marketing space who can bring in real, long-term users.

I’m trying to understand:

• What’s actually the best way to find solid affiliates beyond the usual stuff (YouTube, X, cold outreach)?
• What channels or approaches have worked best for you in practice?
• How do you usually tell early on if someone is actually going to be a good partner vs. just signing up and disappearing?

Would also really appreciate any tips on how to make this easier to scale, or if anyone here knows good places / communities / people that could be a fit or even thinks this could be relevant for them, feel free to reach out.

Thanks in advance :)

Looking for someone to help promote data analytics courses on 30% commission per sale. Courses cover Python, Pandas, data cleaning, visualization and machine learning, all built on real world data. Hosted on Selar with built-in affiliate tracking so commissions are tracked automatically. I add you manually. DM me your email to get started.

Hello everyone. I am new to affiliate marketing. A peptides supplier from China offered me 10% commission plus 1$ for every lead for doing affiliate marketing for his peptides. Is this a good deal or not? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Hi! My name is Sierra. I’m from Mississippi. I’ve recently started learning about affiliate marketing and programmed and was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on where to promote and scale with affiliate links and what are some great affiliate programs to join

My girlfriend and I are both salaried. I'm a civil engineer, she's a teacher. Good jobs, but like a lot of people we're always poking around for ways to make some extra money on the side and maybe one day get out of the 9 to 5 entirely.

Here's the thing, we didn't set out to build anything. It happened completely by accident.

Her hobby is cooking. She's genuinely good at it, and for years she'd just post photos of whatever she made to a few cooking groups on Facebook. No agenda, just sharing. And every time she posted, the comments would blow up. People asking for the recipe, asking what pan she used, where she got an ingredient, that kind of thing.

At some point I'm watching this happen and I thought, this is interesting. All this engagement and we're doing nothing with it. So kind of as a joke I said let's just drop a couple of Amazon affiliate links in there, the actual pan she uses, the specific ingredients people keep asking about.

First month we made around $100. Nothing crazy, but for what was basically a hobby it felt kind of magic that money showed up at all.

So we leaned in. Added more affiliate programs, all cooking related, the tools, the gadgets, the pantry stuff. Income crept up to about $900 a month. Then we started posting to more cooking groups, not just the original few, and the more relevant groups we got into the more it grew. We even put together a cookbook and put it on Amazon. Between the affiliates and the book we started hitting around $4,500 a month.

The catch, and anyone who's done organic posting knows this, it ate a huge amount of her time. Posting the same stuff to group after group, manually, every day. It started to feel like a second job instead of a hobby.

Then I found an app that lets you schedule and auto-post to the groups instead of doing it all by hand. That honestly changed everything for us. It freed her up to actually cook and create instead of spending her evenings copy-pasting into Facebook.

Now we're four months in from when we first got serious, and last month we hit $8,200. We're about to expand into TikTok and we're looking at opening an actual ecommerce site in the cooking niche.

I keep reading these stories about people turning a hobby into a business and never thought it would be us. But here we are, and it genuinely started from her just sharing food she loved making.

So I'm curious, has anyone else here accidentally turned a hobby into real money? Would love to hear how it started for you.

I’m looking for affiliates to market an AI B2B SaaS product for small and midsized organizations.

I’m wondering where to find people? I want to offer 30% recurring commission on every subscription generated by an affiliate.

DM for more details

I'm not trying to break any rules by posting this, but I'm trying to find affiliates to market my website, give me advice on design (if applicable), commissions rates, etc.

Any advice would be most welcome!

Won't drop any link because mods might ban me but i'll gladly answer to all your questions in DM.

I keep seeing great AdScore case studies here, so I wanted to ask the community directly: how are you actually handling junk/bot/proxy traffic right now?

A few things I'm trying to understand:

• Do you rely on your tracker's built-in filters, a paid service (AdScore, IPQS, etc.), or your own IP/VPN lists?
• How much of your spend do you reckon still leaks to VPN/proxy/datacenter clicks?
• Where do the current tools fall short for you — price, accuracy, setup, or something else?

Trying to get a real-world picture beyond the marketing claims. What's working for you in 2026?

Hey everyone, I run a service called CarSaavy (carsaavy.com) that helps everyday car buyers walk into dealerships fully prepared. We deliver personalized reports that break down pricing, dealer tactics, and negotiation strategy for their specific vehicle, basically giving them an edge they'd never have otherwise.

Looking for a handful of creators to partner with, especially in the personal finance or car space.

Here's what's in it for you:

- 25% commission per sale ($25–$34 depending on the package)

- Your audience gets $10 off every order with your unique code

- No fluff product, people are actively looking for this before one of the biggest purchases of their life

- Low barrier, high relevance for any audience that talks about money, cars, or smart spending

We've got real customer testimonials and a sample report on the site if you want to see what you'd be promoting before committing to anything.

DM me if you're interested or want more details. No pressure, just looking for the right fit.

hello guys ! I'm 21M and I'm looking for side gig for my personal expenses. so I started affiliate marketing with Amazon associates and I created pins in pinterest using Canva. i don't know it will work. anyone who's experienced or have knowledge about affiliate marketing guide me to learn and earn. Also share me your ideas and techniques that actually work !!

I'm curious to hear real experiences from people who are actually doing affiliate marketing.

• How long did it take from starting to your first commission?
• What traffic source did it come from (SEO, Reddit, YouTube, ads, social media, etc.)?
• How much was the commission?
• Looking back, what was the biggest mistake you made early on?

I'm still building and would love to hear some honest timelines and lessons from people who've been through it.

I’m a UGC creator, so I’m comfortable making content, but I feel like I’m missing the marketing side of affiliate marketing.

I post interactive stories daily with my affiliate link and code, and I do get clicks, but almost nobody ends up buying.

So I’m clearly doing something wrong in terms of converting people.

What changed things for you? Was it the type of content, CTAs, SEO, funnels, posting frequency, product selection, or something else?

I’d really appreciate practical or technical tips from people who are actually making affiliate income. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I recently launched a website called Habit Spend Calculator. It lets users calculate how much money they’re spending on habits like coffee, smoking, lottery tickets, fast food, and other recurring expenses, with the goal of helping them become more financially aware.
I’m looking for affiliate programs that would genuinely add value for my visitors rather than feeling like random ads.
Some ideas I had were:
High-yield savings accounts
Budgeting apps
Investing platforms
Cashback or rewards apps
Financial education tools
I’m not interested in promoting gambling, casinos, or low-quality “get rich quick” courses.
For those with affiliate marketing experience, what affiliate programs have worked well for finance or budgeting websites? Are there any networks or specific companies you’d recommend?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I’m looking to connect with marketers focused on developer and data scraping audiences to exchange thoughts on long-term affiliate partnerships in this niche.

The proxy service I work with offers a combined upfront and recurring commission framework for partners, with all tracking and payouts managed through a third-party affiliate platform. This space has steady repeat customer demand, making it viable for sustained passive income over time.

If you’re already active within dev, automation or data collection affiliate spaces and would like to discuss relevant vertical options, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Some brands launch with partnerships from day one. Others wait until paid performance plateaus or internal resources stretch thin.

What was the signal for you?

Curious what tipped the balance for you to start working with affiliates, creators, or media partners.
