    Influencer Marketing
    I have 5 years of experience in digital marketing, with a strong focus on affiliate partnerships, influencers and community management. I’ve worked with leading affiliate networks such as AWIN, CJ, Impact, and Rakuten. I’ve also helped brands build and grow their presence on platforms like Reddit, turning it from a zero base to a channel contributing up to 60% of their total revenue. Additionally, I specialize in hunting and onboarding the right influencers to drive further growth for brands. Affiliates: 1. I’ve managed affiliate programs on a wide range of networks, including AWIN, ShareASale, WebGains, CJ, Impact and vCommission. 2. My job starts with setting up merchants on these platforms, then searching for publishers and affiliates who fit their industry and goals. 3. I take time to research each affiliate looking at their website traffic, audience location, and performance using tools like SimilarWeb. For example, if an affiliate’s audience is mostly from the US, I connect them with US focused publishers and partners. 4. To keep things secure, I ask affiliates to reply from a professional (domain based) email before working together. Once I’ve done my checks, I share offers and creatives with them and keep in regular contact until they start driving sales. 5. As soon as sales come in, I keep a close eye on the details tracking where sales are coming from and monitoring clicks. 6. If anything looks off, I pause their promotions immediately and look into it e.g. fraud activities. 7. Every month, I send clear sales validation reports to my clients, so they always know what’s going on. Community Management: 1. Built and managed branded and non branded Reddit accounts to grow community presence and drive authentic conversations. 2/ Created and scheduled engaging posts and comments tailored to each subreddit’s culture and guidelines. 3. Monitored brand mentions, answered questions, and addressed concerns to boost brand trust and visibility. 4. Launched and moderated dedicated subreddits, developing community rules and onboarding new members. 5. Used automation tools and scripts to track trends, manage multiple accounts, and scale outreach efficiently. 6. Generated organic discussions and word of mouth recommendations, increasing positive sentiment and engagement. 7. Analyzed community activity and reported key insights to improve strategy and measure impact. Influencer Partnerships: 1. I search for influencers using region and niche specific keywords, leveraging industry tools like Modash and Upfluence to identify the best-fit creators. 2. Each influencer is evaluated based on audience demographics (age, location, interests), average views, engagement rate, and content quality. 3. I use my own analytics tool to estimate campaign ROAS, moving forward only with influencers who are likely to deliver positive results. 4. For every campaign, I prepare detailed creator briefs with key talking points to ensure messaging aligns with brand goals. 5. I set up custom UTM links for each influencer, making it easy to track performance and attribute results accurately. 6. My process focuses on selecting genuine, high impact creators, building strong relationships, and optimizing campaigns for measurable success.

    I launch TikTok Shops and build the affiliate programs that keep them selling. 3+ years inside Seller Center doing store setup, listing SEO, creator recruitment, and daily shop management, handled by me personally. Most shops stall for the same reason. Listings, creators, and content get managed as three separate tasks instead of one engine. A creator posts, the video performs, and nothing is set up to catch it. The listing is not built for search. The next creator was never lined up. My whole job is closing that loop so one good week turns into a good quarter. TikTok Shop is the only platform I work on. I am in Seller Center, Kalodata, and EUKA every day, which is why I can usually tell within one look whether a shop is stalled because of the listings, the creators, or a compliance flag nobody noticed. 🛠 WHAT I HANDLE Store launch and Shopify integration Seller Center registration and verification, product sync, warehouse mapping, shipping configuration, and category approvals. I also repair shops that were set up wrong the first time, which is most of the ones that reach me. Listings and TikTok Shop SEO Titles and attributes built around what buyers actually type, descriptions written to convert, correct category and attribute mapping, pricing strategy, and product page assets that support both search and For You placement. Affiliate program build Creator sourcing through Kalodata and EUKA rather than mass Seller Center invites. Direct outreach, commission and target collab structures, open collab plans, sample campaign management, content briefs, and tracking that shows which creators are worth reinvesting in. When a creator video starts working, I put spend behind it instead of hoping the algorithm keeps feeding it. Creator vetting and relationships I vet before samples ship. Posting history, engagement quality, category fit, and whether they have actually sold in your category, so you are not paying shipping on units that never become content. Then I keep the ones who perform posting month after month. Account health and compliance Category approvals, listing rejections, violation resolution, and the backend troubleshooting that quietly stalls shops when nobody is watching it. Day to day management Daily monitoring, creator follow up, and a weekly summary covering GMV, posting rate, top SKUs, and what I am changing next. 📦 WHO THIS IS FOR Categories: home, kitchen, lifestyle, fashion, and accessories. Stage: brands opening their first TikTok Shop, and shops that are already live but have never got an affiliate program producing consistent orders. I am a single person, not a team, so I take on a small number of shops at a time. You get me on your messages, your calls, and your account. Nothing gets passed to a coordinator after the first conversation. 📩 START HERE Tell me where your shop stands right now, live or not yet launched, and what has already been tried. I will reply with how I would open or rebuild your affiliate program and what the first month would look like. That costs you nothing and there is no obligation after it.
