Find new affiliates with Discovery
Let the Discovery agent search the web and YouTube for people already talking about your space, ranked by fit.
Discovery finds people who already write or make videos about your category, scores each one against what you sell, looks for a way to contact them and drafts an invite. You stay in charge of who gets invited. Find it at GrowthDiscovery.
Plan
Discovery is on the Growth plan (100 credits a month) and Scale (300 credits a month). One credit buys one search.
Tell the agent what to look for#
Open the agent configuration
Go to GrowthDiscovery and click Set up Discovery (later, Edit what we look for).
Add what to search for
Under What to search for, add Keywords (topics your ideal affiliates write about) and Competitors (people reviewing these are your best prospects), up to 10 keywords and 5 competitors.
Describe what you sell
Under What you sell, write a Product description of one or two sentences. The agent uses it to plan searches and score fit.
Add outreach context (optional)
Outreach context gives drafts real facts to use: Core features, Proof points and a One-line differentiator. Drafts never invent facts. Commission terms come from your default campaign.
Save
Click Save and go to Discovery. Changes apply to the next run.
Start a run#
Click Run discovery. Pick The web (blogs, reviews, newsletters, roundups), YouTube (channels reviewing tools like yours) or both. The page shows what the run costs and what you'll have left. A run is a handful of searches, and each search costs 1 credit, so a web run usually uses between 5 and 12. Click Run discovery to start. You can leave the page while it runs, and new prospects show up when it finishes. If a run fails, its credits come back.
Review and invite prospects#
Prospects sit in tabs: New, Shortlisted, Contacted, Invited and Dismissed. Sort by Best fit first or Most recent activity. Only ones I can contact is on by default. Each one shows why they fit and how to reach them. A contact marked Guessed wasn't published by the prospect, so check it before you use it.
- Shortlist the ones worth a closer look, or dismiss the rest. Dismissed prospects can be brought back with Restore.
- Invite creates them as an affiliate with a ref code and drafts a message written from their own work. affixo doesn't email them. Edit the draft, then click Copy all or Open in email to send it from your own email app.
- Opted out blocks their address for good if they ask not to be emailed.
Discovery never emails anyone on its own. Nothing goes out until you send it.
