Two years ago, in 2024, we started building a product-creator matching platform — from a Facebook group and a spreadsheet. Today, we ship the next version of it.
The community grew from a handful of people to 2,500+ creators across 10 chat rooms. We matched thousands of products with the right faces in front of the right cameras. That happened — not because my wife Bell and I are particularly smart — because the creators on this list actually delivered.
Thanks
To the creators who carried this with us:
Matt · Kim D · Shaye · Katie G · Neal · Doug · Natalie Y · Alyssa · Stephanie W · Laura A · Casey V · Kim & Ed · Lindsay G · Renee · Michelle S · Cia · Jess B
Each of you reminded us why we keep going — not because of contract terms, but because of that grounded feeling when a “video sent, please review” message lands the night before a deadline.
And to every creator we didn’t name here who walked this road with us — thank you. Brands coming back is the most direct proof of the quality you deliver.
What changed in two years
The affiliate economy is in a different place than when we started.
- Amazon Associates commission rates were cut by roughly half across most categories.
- Reporting granularity got worse — hourly attribution we used to rely on is mostly gone.
- Sellers are squeezed on PPC costs, margins compressed, returns up.
- Facebook keeps banning accounts for “too many messages.” Our admin accounts went down. Group post reach collapsed.
I don’t want to pretend none of that happened. Everyone’s grinding through it.

AffiliateReel is the same partnership system you already know — same brief flow, same payout-first policy, same direct relationship — moved from a Facebook group to a platform we control. So next time someone gets banned, it doesn’t take two years of conversations with it.
