Indie Affiliates is a platform built by an indie hacker for indie hackers to help them spread the word about their affiliate program, in a directory created specifically for bootstrapped solopreneurs.
Hey PH users 👋
I am Francesco and I am so proud to finally be launching Indie Affiliates.
I built it because when I created my first affiliate program I was super pumped about it but then I realized "How are marketers going to know that I created an affiliate program?" 😩
So I started researching on Google but all the directories I could find to submit an affiliate program where:
A. Asking for $199/year or more
B. Were not the right "environment" for my SaaS
Which lead me to create Indie Affiliates, a platform where Indie Hackers (and startuppers in general) can easily submit their affiliate marketing program. 🥳
Hope you will like this, let me know what you think!
I love the idea so I signed up and attempted to list one of my affiliate programs.
The process is clean and simple, however, I've submitted the details and can't find it listed anywhere.
Your landing page says "Submit your Affiliate Program for Free" but on the submission page itself it says "Purchase a plan to publish your affiliate page". I'm confused if you actually offer a free submission or not.
Maybe it's going through an approval process? I'm not sure as there was no confirmation message provided during submission either.
congrats on the launch of indie affiliates. it's interesting to see a platform tailored for indie hackers and bootstrapped entrepreneurs. considering the focus on affordability, how do you plan to sustain the platform financially while keeping it accessible for solopreneurs?
I think this solves a very big problem where their programs want to be heard! Someone recently asked where can they promote their program, i’m going to share it now!
Wow, i might actually use this. Dealing with influencer managers and management teams get very annoying sometimes. Good stuff @francescochiaramonte , how are you planning to get the word out to the influencers though?
Indie Affiliates is a breath of fresh air in the affiliate marketing world! As a fellow indie hacker, I love seeing a platform designed specifically for us. It's so refreshing to find a directory tailored to bootstrapped businesses, where we can connect and support each other. The promise of sharing affiliate programs in minutes is a huge time-saver, and I'm eager to see how the "Free Options" can help us grow together. Well done, Indie Affiliates team!
Congratulations on launching your startup!
Wishing you great success in your new venture
May your business grow and thrive
Good job and God bless you @@francescochiaramonte
Hey Francesco,
Congratulations on launching Indie Affiliates! It's fantastic to see a solution that addresses the visibility struggle for indie hackers' affiliate programs. It must be rewarding to turn your own challenge into a resource for others. Were there any unexpected hurdles you had to overcome while creating this platform?
Wishing you great success with your launch!
Cheers!
My experience with Indie Affiliates has been very positive. This platform helps me understand and optimize my affiliate strategy. As a result, I saw a significant increase in my income. Thank you, Indie Affiliates!
@francescochiaramonte congrats on the launch! Will definitely try it and see if it is the solution we are looking for. Btw, the promo video is a little hard to follow without voice over. You may try an iOS app called AI Voice Editor to add professional voiceover.
This sounds like a really useful product! It's basically a win - win situation for both sellers and creators. I could definitly see a lot of people using India Affiliates
