Hi to all respectful Indie Hackers, I need advice from community members to validate my idea. Currently, we are developing an affiliate network for Marketers and Developers.
Core problem:
Many SaaS companies are developing their own partnership programs or trying to join the existing affiliate network. However, they face such difficulties:
- Need to attract the right partners to promote their product
- Need to pass the validation process and pay in order to join the affiliate network. Many of the affiliate networks don’t accept SaaS solutions, because they are not so profitable as other categories.
At the same time, bloggers/webmasters who generate marketing content or promote marketing /IT products need to:
- Find a good offer, join the platform, pass validation, promote the offer, and await when they reach the minimum amount on the balance in order to withdraw money. If they promote many offers, they must follow these steps many times.
- If webmasters try to use an existing affiliate network, they will be disappointed, because such networks have a limited number of SaaS offers.
Solution:
We plan to create a first partnership Network for Developers and Marketers, where:
Publishers/Bloggers/Webmaster will have:
- A Huge List of lucrative promotional offers related to Marketing/Saas sphere of interests
- All marketing/saas offers in one place, they don’t need to create hundreds of accounts in many systems and await when they reach the minimum withdrawal sum in each system
- Convenient tools for promotion: widgets, reviews, listings, social landing pages, etc. they don’t need to create them by yourself
Advertisers will have:
- Access to the relevant partners who will promote their offer
- Flexibility in the offer customization and diversity of promotional tools
Other advantages of a good affiliate network
Question:
Right now I will be happy to hear your honest opinion.
- Do you know any such specialized networks?
- What do you think about the validity of this idea?
- Would you use such a network in order to promote your own products or earn money?
