Prepare products for creator traffic

Choose products with a clear demonstration, sufficient inventory and workable margin after commission and fulfillment. Give creators factual product information and a sample policy. Reach cannot compensate for unavailable stock or an unclear offer.

Choose suitable collaboration offers

Compare the broad discovery and direct invitation options available in your Affiliate Center. Consider commission, samples, communication effort and content rights. A direct paid-content agreement can differ from a sales-commission collaboration.

Measure the creator funnel

Track sourced, invited, accepted, sampled and posted creators separately. Connect content references to orders and refunds for the same cohort. Review contribution as well as GMV before increasing the next recruitment batch.

Summary

Pilot one product cohort and review posting, order and contribution results.
