Hey Product Hunt! šŸ‘‹ šŸ‘‹ The Swapstack team (@jake_singer, @nicolas_ordonez, @anangsha_ & @learnwithvidya) and I are SO excited to launch this product to help support the creator economy. TL:DR: Swapstack is a newsletter advertising platform that helps brands connect with writers to run paid sponsorships. Our new product, Plug & Play, enables all creators to have access to pre-approved affiliate deals anywhere anytime!! What is Plug & Play? šŸ’° Plug & Play is Swapstacks pre-approved affiliate program! šŸ¤ We've curated a list of 15 brands as our Launch Partners, who have pre-approved Swapstack writers to run affiliate deals. As a writer, this enables you to have immediate access to high quality, high-pay out affiliate deals for your newsletter. As a result - you should never have to run a newsletter without a sponsor ever again. šŸ„° Why did we build this?
  • For Writers: As a team completely made up of creators and newsletter writers, we know from experience that monetization is a taxing, difficult process. Giving writers the option to ALWAYS have a sponsor at the ready is a game-changer for any creator looking to ensure consistent revenue.
  • For Brands: Gives brands the ability to activate their affiliate deals across many writers at once. If you have an affiliate program and want to work with writers, let us know! šŸš‰ How it works! Plug & Play is extremely simple to use as a writer looking to monetize:
  • Create a Swapstack account here: app.swapstack.co
  • Toggle to the "Plug & Play" tab and choose a brand or publisher you'd want to work with.
  • Use your personalized link & some of the suggested creative to build an ad that resonates with your users.
  • Run the newsletter!
  • Get paid for every conversion you drive. šŸš€ Does it work?! It DOES! See some of our stats from our beta tests:
  • Over 600 conversions driven
  • $5000+ earned
  • @cvas from The Daily Coach banked over $1,200 working with multiple Plug & Play brands! Raking it in. Swapstack is FREE for writers. We're working hard to ensure any and all creators have plenty of opportunities to monetize their work. ā¤ļø Thank you! We'd love any feedback from this community, and are very open to collaboration for anyone interested in connecting. Thank you so much for your attention...we hope to work with you soon! Shout out to legendary @andreasklinger for hunting us! Thank you all! Team Swapstack

    @jake_schonberger1 P & P played a big role in monetizing my newsletter since I'm still a small newsletter writer with < 1000 subs. I hope this helps more newsletter writers to monetize quickly! šŸ™ŒšŸš€

    Only available to uses in the US :/ I guess that's due to Stripe Connect limitations?
    Jake Singer
    Maker
    @andrew_davison Hi Andrew! Yes, sadly, though I'll note this limitation only applies to the writer side. Brands from anywhere can participate! We are looking into workarounds and will be working on those in the coming weeks!
    Andy Beard
    @andrew_davison @jake_singer It was a little disappointing to only find out about this after I had already connected my existing Stripe account. You couldn't even see the offers to know if it was worth it before then
    Andrew Davison
    @jake_singer @andybeard - I agree. It would be nice to at least browse the offers available, even if I can't yet sign up for them.
    Jake Singer
    Maker
    @andybeard @andrew_davison that's super valuable feedback - @jake_schonberger1 FYI! Totally agree with this, we should fix that. FYI Andy, you can disconnect your Stripe account anytime - lmk if you need help with this!

    Meant to tag @andybeard too - we're working on a fix to this right now. Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience!

    Cool how you made monetization easy for writers. Was curious if brands have to pass any curation check?
    Jake Schonberger
    Maker
    @gouthamj Hey Goutham! Good question - so right now we have 15 brands that we've hand-selected. We know each brand personally and have made sure we a) love the product b) trust the teams behind them and c) believe the deal they've agreed to can drive meaningful results to our writers. While any brand can apply to be part of the program, we don't move forward with every one!
