Hey everyone, I’m looking for some affiliate programs that are relatively easy to get approved for and work well with **organic Pinterest traffic**. My main criteria are: * Easy or beginner-friendly approval * Decent commission * Good conversion potential * Products/services that are visually easy to promote on Pinterest * Landing pages that are actually designed to convert * Preferably digital products, software, co

I'm facing a problem in determining real data because of Apple Mail Privacy Protection. I have a client that has good open rates, 50%+, but clicks are below average. When I started analysing the exact customers, I noticed 50% of the mailing group were people with Apple Privacy Protection. **Question 1.** Are the clients legitimately just not clicking, or is Apple Privacy auto-crawling emails and showing false open ra

Hello everyone, I recently launched an affiliate business targeting options traders, promoting a trading community and tool suite that gives traders a legitimate edge in the market. Today marks **Day 8**, and I still haven’t made a single sale. I’m reaching out to get some brutal honesty, feedback, and perspective from people who have built successful affiliate channels or audience-driven businesses. Specifically, I'

I maintain a \~10,000 person or so mailing list of subscribers to our company / open source project. A fairly standard inbound marketing operation I've been running for 11 years or so. The guidance from email marketing platforms like Kit these days is to focus on the rate of active engagement of subscribers, versus worrying about the overall size of the list. Ok, I get that; times have changed since I started this bu

I work in IT, and this is a very common issue with an easy fix and a big impact. When you set up your email domain, there are 3 "settings" you must have in order to be considered legitimate by the email systems receiving your emails: * SPF * DKIM * DMARC These are often missing or incomplete. Each part that is wrong either hinders your email deliverability, exposes you to your email domain being spoofed (faked) by sc

As the title says - do you have any recommendations on some genuinely good and useful content creators in email marketing industry? Basic youtube search yielded no results - just some basic slop essentially. With good and useful I mean someone who posts and talks about everything related to the industry - copy/design/deliverability/other tips and is a genuine expert. There are some great ones on e-commerce/business b

Anyone here promoting manifestation offers? Curious what’s working for you lately.... traffic sources, funnels, etc. I’ve been testing a few things and seeing mixed results.

Is it as simple as having commercial intent search queries, and inputting the affiliate link in the body? How can you optimize for conversions? Does anyone have a good resource on this, or a good resource on what makes content (marketing) work? I have been uploading some articles to my anti-phishing site, but want to expand beyond just writing articles about phishing and perhaps offering a digital product or somebody

Hey Guys, I am a beginner and I'm planning to provide these 3 services to clients. I'll write the copy, design the email and send it to the mail list using Squarespace (planning to use it).. But how much should I charge for these services as a package ? And what are some of the best email sending platforms for beginners (if not Squarespace)? I am thinking of undercharging around $800-900 per month as I am starting no

Email segmentation generally splits into four buckets. Demographic covers traits like age and gender. Behavioral looks at what someone actually does i.e. opens, clicks, purchases. Psychographic is built around interests and values. Geographic comes down to location. Huda Beauty's a good real-world example. Phuong Ngo, their CRM and loyalty manager, noticed a list in the millions where click-through had gone flat and

I only know figma and am learning kalviyo right now but how do you start freelancing in this field? I have been doing graphic design and kind of like designing landing pages and stuff in figma (i have made 7 and gotten nice feedback) so I am thinking of starting over in email marketing but i really don't know how to freelance in this cuz I believe i have to handle the deployment of the creative with looking over the

I’m curious what everyone’s experience is with email affiliates these days. A few years ago email seemed to be one of the biggest traffic sources in affiliate marketing, especially for lead gen and CPL campaigns. Now it feels like good quality email affiliates are lot less accessible these days and advertisers are much more cautious because of compliance, lead quality, deliverability and how the data was originally c

The standard email popup, the kind where you type your address for 10% off, converts around 3.5% opt-in for us. Wrap the same offer in a game (spin the wheel, scratch card, pick a gift) and it does about 9%. Our best variants have cleared 26%. Same discount, same traffic, roughly triple the signups. These numbers come from our own company's tests, so I at least know how they were measured. Biased sample, sure. I spen

I’ve been running paid traffic across a few different verticals and the performance gap between them is bigger than I expected… Some verticals seem to have a natural fit with paid traffic. The audience intent is clear, the offer matches what people are already looking for and conversions happen at a rate that makes the economics work. Others feel like pushing water uphill no matter what you adjust. Creative, landing

I am trying to apply for affiliate marketing through one of my suppliers for my store. This is what I get just before I hit 'agree' - """This integration enables [Impact.com](http://Impact.com) to establish a connection with your business portfolio(s), and manage everything in the portfolio except for sensitive actions, like deleting the portfolio. They may be able to use an API to manage the portfolio, including giv

I’ve been an affiliate marketer (media buyer) for about a decade. I’m planning to launch a free video series covering everything you need to launch your first paid-traffic affiliate campaign. Here’s the structure I’ve decided on. Can you suggest topics I should include or exclude? 1. How a campaign actually works 2. Getting a CPA offer approved 3. Landing page setup 4. Tracker setup 5. Buying traffic 6. S2S postbacks

​ Hi everyone, I'm facing a deliverability issue with Amazon SES and would appreciate any advice. Here's the setup: Amazon SES says my SMTP server is healthy. The email is very simple—just a short message with a single link. The spam score is 0.2 (very low). This is an email automation sent to subscribers who signed up themselves. Around 1,100 emails have been sent through the automation. The open rate is only 4%, an

I am just starting email marketing for my D2C business and I am thinking should I stick with direct domain email address (like marketing@domain.com) or a subdomain (like hello@marketing.domain.com)? I know each has its own pros and cons but curious what is the industry standard for a small business that just started email marketing. PS: I am planning to use Amazon SES connected to my self hosted CRM.

I’m curious how many people here feel like they’ve hit a roadblock with affiliate marketing and aren’t sure whether to keep going or change direction. What are you trying to promote right now, and where are you promoting it? What niche are you in? Are you promoting software, physical products, courses, services, or something else? Are you using YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, a website, email, paid ads, or another platfo

Hello! I have a new website that I want to do some affiliate marketing for my friends in the industry. If they send a newsletter with their link and someone signs up to my membership using their link, I want to pay them a one time referral bonus. I do the payments on stripe. I do have a 7 day trial so the program would need to jsut track when the customer goes from trial to paid. I see there are so many referral prog

Hey guys, new email marketer here. How do you track your campaign/flow success? I'm asking because the deeper I go, the more I think it's BS. Tracking by open rate? Not viable because of Apple Mail and automatic opens. Tracking by click rate? You can just boost clicks by placing buttons/links up top, sending to low-intent customers, manipulating results. Revenue? It depends on how your attribution settings are set up

Hi, was going through Reddit ads API and I found couple of interesting things that some of you would want to test it out and you will need to ask your Reddit rep to access them (if you are eligable). Note: I'm certified Reddit agency partner **but I'm not Reddit rep** (don't contact me about these things) I just found them on my own. \- Reddit Max campaigns for App install (previously it was only for conversion campa

Sharing a real result since this sub likes show-don't-tell. Setup: ecommerce-adjacent newsletter, 62k subscribers, weekly send, one ESP, consistent template. I wanted to know if an AI writing tool could beat me on subject lines, so I ran it properly. Every week for a month, I wrote three subject lines, generated three, and A/B tested the best human against the best AI on a 20% holdout before rolling the winner. Human

Noob 4000, asks I am getting crawled but not indexed. Guru 9500 says you need authority. How is that a solution for noob 4000?

Been posting real content in a home-decor-ish niche for a couple of years, slow honest growth to around 30k. A few weeks ago I noticed an account in the exact same niche blowing past me. Clean feed, consistent "creator," great engagement. It is entirely AI. The person is generated, the rooms are generated, the voiceovers are generated. It went from nothing to well past me in a few months, and it just announced a paid

I’d love to hear some opinions from people who have actually built their own e-commerce businesses. I’ve been working as an E-commerce Manager for around 3 years, and I’m starting to seriously consider launching my own e-commerce business. (One of the problem is that I don’t know exactly what) In my current role, I manage quite a broad part of the business. I’m responsible for things like costs, purchasing, customer

Left the agency a while ago so I can finally say this plainly. For a few years I ran the content calendars for 40-some creator accounts across a bunch of niches, and the single most useful thing I learned is that "the algorithm is suppressing me" is almost always the wrong diagnosis. The stuff that actually tanked reach, over and over: 1. The first 3 seconds. Not the hook idea, the literal first frame. Accounts that

​ I've been trying multiple platforms and I'm honestly getting pretty discouraged. Indeed: way too much competition. I've applied to a lot of relevant social media/content roles, and despite having relevant skills, experience and measurable results, I haven't gotten a single response. Upwork: seems promising, but having to spend money on Connects just to apply makes it difficult when you're still trying to get your f

I’m helping a design agency run google ads. As the budget is tight, I’m focusing on exact match. I haven’t worked on google ads in the last 6 months. And now, when I did the keyword research. Each theme contains more than 20 keywords even if I’m going for exact. In this case, do you suggest to go for phrase matching? Or is it ok to have 20+ keywords in one ad-group with exact match. Also, if I choose phrase matching,

We are stuck on 190 followers since 5 years, we post everyday about the blogs we write, and other work. But 5 views , 0 likes, and 0 followers. And i am done with vague advices like "be more consistent". I need some untraditional and batshit-crazy ways to increase my impressions. Pls help.

Pretty much what the title describes. I’m rebranding and I’m wanting to have a more professional looking website as well as get an SEO guy. Is it better to take the time and build one myself to “save” money, or is it better in the long run to have a website built so it can be better geared towards SEO? (In the pest control industry)

For those of you who don't know yet: As of 12 August, anyone who intends to sell in another country in the EU must register in that country as a packaging producer + appoint a local representative for your company. This brings about a significant administrative burden, as each EU country has its own procedures, plus you need to appoint a local representative, which can cost up to 300 euros per country per year. For a

For those running PPC campaigns, what has made the biggest difference—better targeting, ad copy, landing pages, or conversion tracking? Curious to hear what’s working.

Starting in early August 2026, the EU’s AI Act requires companies to clearly label AI-generated images, audio, video, and certain text that looks realistic enough to pass as authentic. EU Rules target deepfakes and other AI content that resembles real people, places, objects, or events. Providers must add tags or machine-readable watermarks or markings so the content can be detected as AI-made, while deployers (the p

I accidentally agreed to manage 40+ google ads accounts for an agency at $20 per account 3 years ago 🤧 I worked for them for 2 years, they had me fill all these documents and sops and follow naming conventions on all accounts... It was so annoying to follow and they'd get angry if I got any campaign or conversion names wrong lol Worst experience in my media buying journey Now I agreed to managing 19 accounts for an

I've been working on growing a small content website and have realized that many SEO "tips" sound great in theory but don't always work in practice. For me, some of the biggest lessons have been: - Publishing consistently matters more than chasing every new SEO trick. \- Google Search Console data is often more useful than third-party estimates. \- A few high-quality backlinks are worth more than lots of low-value on

So, we probably all know by now, Google does not want smart bidding to outperform its targets anymore. As of Aug 17, budget-constrained tCPA/tROAS campaigns that are over-performing will start taking some of that advertiser profit and transferring it to Big G, if we don't take action. Not much we can against the change, BUT we do make some changes if we want to minimize the impact. What's the take of /r/PPC? How do y

Anecdotally, it seems like certain websites are more likely to be hurt by AI summaries. For example, anything educational or instructional, e.g., repair guides. If these sites rely on traffic for advertising revenue, it seems like it's going to be substantially harder if not impossible for them to survive. Google's AI summaries will just tell people what they need to know (even if inaccurate) and most people will mov

I'm a complete SEO beginner and want to rank a new website, but I'd like AI to do as much of the work as possible. Is it realistic to handle almost the entire SEO process with AI (e.g. ChatGPT agents and other tools), while I mainly review the results? I'm looking for a workflow that covers everything: * Keyword research * Competitor analysis * Topical maps * Content briefs * Writing & optimization * Internal linking

What is the best way to market Udemy courses in an affiliate program? thanks

I keep seeing things like retention/LTV/engagement mentioned but I’m still pretty junior in CRM and struggling to work out what teams genuinely care about day to day. Also how do you know whether customers are buying more BECAUSE of the rewards program instead of just buying anyway?

We keep hearing about Claude Code, Codex, new automations, new MCPs, etc, and we also keep hearing this phase: "The ones who do not adapt to AI will either get replaced by it or get crushed by competitors who use it". When I think about it, it sometimes feels like pure YouTube hype, because how will AI replace an entire team of digital marketing experts? On the other hand, I've a feeling this is partially true for co

Hey yall, complete newbie to SEO, didn’t even know about the field till like a year ago. For context my background is in design. I work a lot with the marketing team and landed my first job in e-commerce as a trainee after going through a lot of struggle. The issue here is the team is quite small but we handle 3 brands, they used to work with an SEO agency but let them go and since I’m a trainee they told me start le

Hello fellow SEOs. I joined on as the Director of Organic to a company a few months ago. At around the same time, we got a new CEO. I have curated a few presentations to him that showcase how SEO and Google are still very much present and not going away anytime in the near future. I also walked him through the Google documentation in May that highlighted AEO/GEO as a benefit of strong SEO practices. However, it sound

Say you’re given a brand new site from scratch. You can’t buy backlinks, do cold outreach, or write guest posts. It’s strictly content, structure, and on-page SEO. If you had to get this site onto page 1 for keywords that actually convert, where are you dumping your energy first? * Topical authority: Cranking out 30+ hyper-specific long-tail posts to lock down a single sub-niche? * Zero-volume keywords: Ignoring Ahre

I work for a cannabis brand. We are looking to start an online store to sell our brand merchandise. Im unsure how to go about that. We will only have like 3-4 items.

Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to this and would really appreciate some advice. A brand has recently reached out asking for permission to feature some of my content on their website. I don’t have a huge following, and I’m not making anything yet off of my content so this is a first for me. I do think I create good-quality content, which I’m guessing is what led them to reach out in the first place. My question is: shoul

When I first started at the company about a year ago the company had virtually no social media presence. It’s a start up with a very small team and the CEO/owner had an Instagram with the name of the company as the handle but would just post his own photos there (music and events type of business). So when I joined he passed over the login details to me with free reign to start posting whatever I wanted and to make i

For SEO purposes is there any advantage to using the Title in links to other pages? Which is better: ` Elephant jokes ` Or ` Elephant jokes ` Thank you in advance for you advice.

A few weeks ago I started a Kit account so we could send email blasts to my client's Substack subscribers, mainly to advertise webinars we'll be hosting. I'm wondering if it's safe to send signup links in these blasts, or if I'm better off just saying something like "reply and I'll send you a free signup link." Here's what I've done so far with the warmup in Kit: 1. Separated out my Substack subscribers by enagement

Scheduled to send out in about 30 minutes, and apparently changing what I wanted to send is a pro feature. WHAT?! https://preview.redd.it/c4pyf8n6jegh1.png?width=878&format=png&auto=webp&s=87896be8d8c21b0dff9b3ad744d942565a889b14

A client forced us to go 100% AI for all their social media posts last month to save money. Reach dropped off a cliff, and comments completely died. People spot generic AI graphics and copy instantly and just scroll past. Yesterday, we randomly posted an unedited 10 second phone video of their staff and comments immediately came back. Now I need to convince their management team that total AI automation is killing th

I run Google Ads for a law firm with a limited budget of about **$100/day**. I’ve tried both ends of the spectrum: * **Paid consultations:** volume dropped a lot, but lead quality was not much better. * **Free consultations with no screening:** volume went way up, but I got a lot of tire kickers, no-shows, and people who could not or would not pay. I’ve now added a **short pre-screening form** before someone can book

Hi pro SMMs, I am newbie to these channels. I mainly grow accounts on X and LinkedIn. But right now I am learning IG and TikTok too because my client wants to grow our presence on these 2 channels. Any tips? Brand is an AI company that has image and video generator. What I did so far: \- made images and videos and posted them there at least 2-3x a week (2 weeks past, I have 5 total pieces of content on each) \- I am

In the past we never had any problems with setting a target ROAS - Google would work to our target set - so a higher target, spend less on CPCs and less overall and work to achieve the target. Now it seems if you do not set a target which is recommended by Google (ie usually a low target unsurprisingly!), then Google will just spend your money and not hit whatever target you set…in the past it would stop spending mon

I just were looking for extensions on the market and they found it. There are no good color picking extensions. So I built one really good one really good one and then ask for review and this is how I got 100k user since six months and 0 dollars. But to be honest, I sold it to some buyers. And these mfs make real money.

Unpopular but I will die on this hill. "Just post consistently, volume wins" was 2021 advice. In 2026 it is how you burn out making mediocre content nobody saves. Here is what I keep seeing on accounts that are actually growing right now, versus the ones grinding daily and flatlining. Dead: posting 1 to 2 times a day to "feed the algorithm." Working: posting maybe 3 to 4 strong reels a week and spending the rest of t

Hello, i run a eshop for 2months in a small country Slovakia. Had really good first 40day made 9K in sales. I had 2-3 orders daily sometimes 9-10 a day depends.

For context, I have over **400,000 followers across multiple platforms**, and I signed an **exclusive management deal** with them.

I paused my Shopify store because it was costing so much money. Not just Shopify but the meta and Google ads were very expensive and I wasn’t getting profit. Since mid July I’ve been selling only on eBay and it’s been great honestly. I don’t advertise anymore and the fees aren’t that bad now. I sell product a lot faster too and I don’t have to deal with the headache of meta or google ads. However, as a registered bus

Trying to get a sense of the sourcing side of this. When you need a tool for some part of running your store, inventory, fulfillment, marketing, wherever, where do you actually look? App marketplaces (like Shopify’s), freelancers/devs, referrals, something else? What tips you toward building something custom vs just buying an existing app? Cost, “nothing existing fits,” trust, something else?

We're always transparent with clients that work outside the paid media and SEO scope is being completed by a partner. This format

There are some visitors who only ever come to my store through Google Shopping ads. I have two specific users who have visited the same product page multiple times, always through Shopping ads, from different locations. They don’t interact with the page at all > they click, stay for one or two seconds, and then leave. This has happened repeatedly, which makes me suspect they might be bots or spam clicks. Then there a

Hey all! I’ve been working on a product for a while - it’s essentially a template file / 3D models for an Architecture software (Autodesk Revit) that I want to market and sell only as a digital file.

I've seen numerous comments on Reddit lately mention that Manual CPC doesn't seem to bring in relevant traffic anymore, even compared to something like Maximize Clicks. To what extent, if at all, is this true? I know that smart bidding can outperform Manual CPC given ample data, but our business operates in such a low-volume niche (cybersecurity assessments in the Dutch market) that the most logical choice would be e

Hi r/ecommerce \- I'm Paul and I follow the e-commerce industry closely for my Shopifreaks E-commerce Newsletter.

I am approached by an agency to run search ads for my Immigration law business. However, I am familiar with Google Ads, and I know that LSA is going away next year. My ad spend would be around $1500 and the agency is quoting me a $350-400 setup fee+management, including stuff such as call rail, number pool and management. Is that a fair price?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on my ad monetization because the numbers I'm seeing seem extremely low, but I'm not sure if this is just normal for my type of site.

About 16% of them were from the US and i also have significant portion from countries like Germany, France, Uk,

Does anybody here is doing wholesale reselling meaning buying products from small researched brands - and listing them in your own sales channel like online store or marketplaces?

If you have any advice for a newbie

I have my youtube channel listed on my Amazon affiliate account. I have the amazon disclaimer in the channel description and on the video descriptions.
