Become Ambassador and Partner of YRL Platform

In this post we show how you can use YRL platform in making performance based payouts to your social media partners.

Introduction

If you partner with influencers, you have definitely negotiated deals, and figured out the right amount to pay a particular influencer based on “engagement”.

While tracking “engagement” on the basis of comments and likes is a good idea on the face of it, a better way would be to track and make payouts on the basis actual organic traffic, or better yet, conversions.

Affiliate marketing networks like Amazon have figured it out really well, as they pay a small portion of their sales to the affiliates. Some of the affiliate networks also have similar feature where you pay a subscription fee to be part of that network, and would through a cumbersome process track payments on your platform.

Today we are introducing a far easier, and more custom alternate: Private Campaigns on YRL.
