Brand-affiliate partnership & commission negotiation service

Help niche affiliate sites convert traffic into direct, higher-value partnerships by auditing traffic and negotiating commission deals with brands.

Summary

Many growing affiliate sites can increase revenue by negotiating direct deals rather than relying solely on network rates. Offer a service that audits site traffic and referral value, crafts pitch materials, sets up tracking, and negotiates commission terms or retainer + success-fee agreements between publishers and brands.

Problem

Affiliate publishers often accept default network payouts; brands and publishers both miss optimized direct partnership opportunities.

Target customer

Affiliate site owners with demonstrated traffic and brands in emerging product categories seeking reliable referral channels.

Solution
