Affiliate Links Are Dead
55sTaps into a common frustration for streamers and creators, offering a fresh solution that directly improves their revenue.
▶ Play Clip"Title is vague and doesn't promise much, but the video is essentially a product pitch with some fluff and nervousness."
The video introduces Sponsor Alerts, a tool designed to make affiliate revenue more active for streamers by displaying alerts when viewers use their discount codes. The creator partnered with Aeron Nutrition as the first affiliate program and explains how the system works, its benefits, and his hopes for the Creator economy.
The creator introduces Sponsor Alerts, a tool developed over two years to help small and medium streamers earn more from affiliate programs by making them more visible and interactive.
Affiliate links and codes are often placed in panels or bio, where nobody looks, and viewers don't know how much support they provide, so streamers can't acknowledge them.
When a viewer uses a streamer's code, an alert pops up during the live stream, e.g., 'so and so just used code Harris and saved 15% on their order.' This allows the streamer to thank the viewer live.
Affiliate codes get the same treatment as Twitch subs, reminding viewers the code exists, supporting the streamer, and enabling streamers to thank viewers, creating a positive cycle.
Affiliate revenue is passive (advertising in panels), while sponsorships are active. Sponsor Alerts moves affiliate revenue from passive to active, increasing it.
For streamers with full-time jobs, increased streaming revenue can alleviate stress and make streaming more enjoyable.
The idea was brought to the devs at AMOM, who previously helped create the number one downloaded OBS plugin. Sponsor Alerts is step two of a three-step plan to change the streaming landscape.
For the launch, they chose one affiliate program: Aeron Nutrition, an energy hydration drink with eco-friendly shipping. The founder is the creator's brother-in-law, and they have a background in exercise physiology.
Go to Aeron nutrition.com, scroll down, fill out the fields, and enter a clip or video of the best moment of your content. They are looking for genuine, creative creators. Limited spots available.
Accepted creators receive an email with two links for browser sources: one for a banner showing the code, and one for a dashboard to see sales and revenue.
Aeron has two flavors: blue raspberry (tangy) and peach mango (smoother). They are starting with a handful of affiliate programs and will notify via Discord when new ones are added.
The creator is nervous about the launch but confident in the product. He hopes viewers see the vision and that enough streamers join to lift the Creator economy.
He will be live streaming tomorrow on YouTube and Twitch, attempting to animate an unhinged version of the Aeron astronaut mascot. Viewers can ask questions.
Sponsor Alerts aims to revolutionize affiliate marketing for streamers by making it active and interactive, starting with Aeron Nutrition. The creator hopes this tool will improve the streaming economy and support creators of all sizes.

02:20Creator's vulnerability
The creator shares his nervousness and hopes, adding a human element to the product launch.
04:23[00:01] been working on for a couple years now and it's called sponsor alerts and the whole reason we made sponsor alerts is so that small streamers medium-sized streamers your everyday streamers just to make it easier for you to make a bit
[00:13] affiliate programs even I earn some affiliate Revenue but the problem with affiliate programs is they'll send you a link or a code and you'll put them down in your panels or somewhere in your bio a place where nobody looks anymore
[00:27] nobody reads them also even if they do read read it nobody knows how much supports you which is the whole reason they'll use the code and if they do use use it and so you can't acknowledge it and thank them for it with sponsor
[00:41] alerts every time someone uses your code an alert pops up during your live stream that says hey so and so just used code Harris and saved 15% on their order or were my code it would say your name if it was your code and then when I see the
[00:56] alert on my stream I can say hey thank you chug jug daddy 53 enjoy your new tub my code and supporting the stream your affiliate code now gets the same treatment as twitch Subs your viewers are reminded that it exists and supports
[01:11] get to thank your viewers for using it and supporting you thus reminding the and the cycle goes on the reason I make Revenue than affiliate revenue is because affiliate revenue is passive
[01:26] advertising down in your panels while sponsorships are active advertising in increase that affiliate Revenue by moving it from the passive bucket to the active one I just I know most of you have full-time jobs and stream and so if
[01:40] streaming Revenue it's going to alleviate some of that stress and it's better about the time you spend going live doing what you enjoy now I did kind of lie to you earlier when I said that I made you something because what really
[01:54] happened is a couple years ago I brought this idea to a team of people way smarter than me the devs at AMOM this is the same group of people that helped me couple years ago and is now the number one downloaded OBS plugin but when I
[02:07] brought to them a three-step plan that I hoped would change the streaming landscape and the vertical plugin was step number one it was a really cool really flashy awesome plug-in that would put atom on the map sponsor alerts is
[02:20] step two where we aim to improve the streaming economy in a really impactful for the launch of sponsor alerts we wanted to make sure we did this right and we didn't overstretch ourselves so we picked one affiliate program where we
[02:34] felt the product was good and it solves a problem for a lot of streamers and that is Aeron nutrition it's a new energy hydration drink but with good eco-friendly shipping container the
[02:47] is actually my brother-in-law so I can personally vouch for him but they have a background and exercise physiology basically if you've been looking for a energy during the streams tastes good and doesn't have a lead warn on it this
[03:01] affiliate program just go to Aeron nutrition.com scroll down to the fill out the fields down a little bit below make sure you enter that last field that asks for a clip or a video of the best moment of your content because
[03:15] yes this is an affiliate program they are going to be looking at metrics and advertise but they're also looking for a genuine creators creative people that grow with they'll also have a limited number of spots in affiliate program so
[03:30] give up but if you're accepted you'll get an email saying welcome to the it will give you two links that you can browser sources one is for a banner that shows your code and the other is for the
[03:45] a link to your dashboard so you can see sales how much revenue you made but once Source all someone us to do is put in your discount code during checkout and
[03:57] they've got two flavors right now they're both delicious the blue raspberry is a little bit too Tangy for me I I like the peach mango it's smoother so whichever one you like to go for we are starting with just a
[04:11] handful of other affiliate programs as they come in I think a great way for you to be notified of what affiliate programs are in there is in my Discord section anytime we add a program like that I'll throw it in there but if I can
[04:23] be real with you I'm a little bit nervous about this launch I mean I'm confident in what it does I'm really excited that we're making something this cool but I guess I just hope that this does as well as I think it will do I I I
[04:36] this and and sometimes you build something like this and and you capture a vision in your head of how much you're doing for others and for your community and and you don't communicate that very well and and other people don't
[04:49] recognize it so I hope you see what I see with this and I hope that we can programs work I hope we can get enough of you guys in affiliate programs I hope programs in this system and that we can just lift the Creator economy across
[05:05] something that spans streamers from the biggest all the way to the brand new so yeah I'm I'm excited but but a little nervous at the same time I'm going to be live streaming tomorrow both here and on Twitch I told the aot team I would try
[05:18] to animate a bit of an unhinged animation of their astronaut mascot right now they have them doing like this little dance animation that's fine but it's a little boring I got some weird ideas and so I'm going to try to do that
[05:32] on stream hop on in ask any questions while you're at it I'd love to answer them for you and uh I'll see you there or I'll see you in the next video as or I'll see you in the next video as always happy streaming
[05:45] always happy streaming [Music]
