Essense Affiliate Program

Hello everyone!

I just launched essense's affiliate program for 30% commission for 12 months of payments: https://essense.getrewardful.com/signup

Does anyone have any insight into if these terms make sense or are lucrative enough? It's a B2B product starting at 29.99, 99.99, and enterprise.

Also where do you all go to promote these?

Thank you in advance.

    And what's interesting about your affiliate program?

      not sure what you mean, it's a pretty standard affiliate program....

    Essense looks neat!

    I launched sif'd for purposes like this. Basically, we try to connect youtubers and twitter users with brands for doing affiliate marketing and paid sponsorships.

      Interesting, can you elaborate on the "Affiliate outreach service"? What does that entail?

      1. 1

        When a brand signs up, we offer to reach out to youtubers / twitter users on their behalf. For example, we contact a bunch of people and say "Hey, we're working with a brand who's looking for someone to promote their ecommerce store and we thought you might be a good fit..."

    awesome! good luck on the program!

    If you ever suspect some of your affiliates are tricking you and buying ads for your brand name, reach out! We at https://spoofdefender.com can give a couple free scans on the house for fellow indie hackers

    Congrats on the launch! Terms make sense, though I'd recommend putting a figure to that percentage. I.e., "Earn up to $X per month" -- seeing the potential earnings might make it more enticing. Good to experiment in any case!

    In terms of distribution, affiliate networks are your best best. Impact, ShareASale, Partnerstack, Pepperjam, Rakuten, Swapstack (little bias bc this is ours ;]) are some of the largest networks out there.

    Once you're signed up, you can reach out to some publishers directly through the networks, or use another platform specific to the channels you'd like to target (e.g., newsletters, influencers, YouTubers, writers, etc) and reach out to your prospects to work with them on an affiliate/CPA basis.

    Note that signing up to these platforms will essentially host your affiliate deal on their networks so there'll be some set up needed. Good idea to keep your own native one on the website in any case, never know where the traffic will come from.

    Good luck!

    Hey Yahia, I just shot you an email about this post. I really like the idea behind Essence, and my SaaS helps affiliate/partnership programs grow using AI, so maybe we could do some cool stuff together ;)

    Hope it reaches you✌️

      Hey Vic,

      If i'm reading your pricing page right, you're charging 37 a month to get listed on your site.

      I'd be down to pay if i knew it would yield results, maybe add a 2 week free trial and then that would be interesting.

        Just replied to your email Yahia :) Hope I answered most of the questions over there, looking forward to hear from you!
