Dropping the affiliate network for a direct brand deal 3x'd the per-sale payout. Same effort.

Dropping the affiliate network for a direct brand deal 3x'd the per-sale payout. Same effort.

A beauty channel was pushing a product at 8% via a public network. They emailed the brand, negotiated direct: 22% plus a custom code.

Same videos, same audience. Monthly affiliate income went from $1,400 to $4,300.

Networks skim and cap your rate. Brands pay more when you bring proven sales and ask directly.

If you've moved 50+ sales for a product and never emailed the brand, that's money you're donating. Why.
