The Affiliate Finder lets you search for potential partners using keywords or competitor URLs. Here's how to get started.

  1. Go to Discovery in the sidebar
  2. Click New Search
  3. Enter your search query — this can be keywords related to your niche (e.g. "project management tools") or a competitor's website URL
  4. Review the results

Understanding the results

Each result shows you:

  • Website/Creator — The name and URL of the potential affiliate
  • Niche relevance — How closely they match your search
  • Traffic & reach — An estimate of their audience size
  • Email — Contact information (if found or after using email lookup)

Tips for better results

  • Be specific with your keywords — "best CRM for startups" works better than just "CRM"
  • Try different angles — Search for your product category, related topics, or competitor names
  • Start with competitor searches — See the Competitor Search article for why this is the best starting point
