About
I was the affiliate first
Before I built any of this, I was on the other side. I promoted software for a commission.
Email, content, paid ads. If a tool was good, I'd put it in front of people and take a cut when they paid.
So I know what it's like being the affiliate. You wait on a payout with no idea when it'll land. You watch a number go up on a dashboard and never find out why. A link you put up two years ago quietly stops paying you, because the company switched software and didn't tell you.
That annoyed me enough to start building affiliate software for founders.
Then I read what founders actually say about affiliate tools. Tracking and payouts weren't what they moaned about most. It was this: they'd set up a program, and nobody joined.
That one got me. Because people like me aren't hard to find. We're the ones writing reviews of the tools you compete with and putting out the "best tools for X" lists. Most founders just don't know where to look. Or they send an email that doesn't get a reply.
So I built RecruitAffiliates.ai. Type in your website. It finds the people already reviewing tools like yours, finds their email, and helps you write to them from your own inbox. You still pick who to email and what to say.
Two things I won't budge on. There's no card for the trial, because I got charged the second I added a card to a "free" trial once, and I asked for my money back. And when you email support, you get me.
AI does a lot of the heavy lifting. But it's still me running the show.
