Affiliate Network Publisher Intelligence

PROPOSAL Prepared for Beth & Dan — April 2026

Identify, enrich, and deliver contact-level intelligence on publishers across the world's largest affiliate networks and partner programs. The 20 networks below are a sample — the discovery pipeline covers hundreds of networks, SaaS referral programs, and direct merchant programs. Every publisher profile includes company contacts, audience demographics, keyword and topical tagging, IAB 2.0 content classification, geographic breakdown, and estimated monthly volume — ready for outreach, recruitment, or competitive analysis.

Recommended Approach: US E-Commerce Publishers First

Start with US-based e-commerce publishers across priority networks (AWIN, Impact, CJ, ShareASale, Rakuten, ClickBank). Expand to UK, DE, AU, and additional markets in subsequent phases.

Enrichment Process Multi-Pass Pipeline

1

Domain Discovery

Continuous scans across priority networks verify active tags, confirm the site is live, and capture merchant participation depth before anything moves downstream.

2

Classification & Tagging

AI-powered IAB 2.0 categorization, audience demographic modeling, and geo breakdowns give every publisher a normalized taxonomy footprint.

3

Contact Enrichment

Multi-source waterfall (Clay plus four additional services) resolves decision-makers by role — marketing, partnerships, and affiliate leads only — with verified outreach channels.

4

Continuous Enrichment

An "enrichment robot" retries unresolved contacts daily. Qualified sites land in a quarantine bucket until enriched — never dropped, always retrying with new data sources.

Engagement Plan Phased

Phase 1: Managed Discovery

Month 1 → 100K Publisher Profiles

I run the full pipeline end-to-end with a US e-commerce focus. The first 100,000 enriched, contact-ready publisher profiles are delivered within month one — net-new to your existing database. Subsequent months expand into additional markets and verticals toward 250K+.

Suppression pipeline: Every batch runs against your historical publisher database so nothing redundant ever reaches your team.

Phase 2: Tech Transfer

Months 3–4

Hand over the entire technology stack and operational playbook so your team can operate without me. That includes documentation, tooling access (Clay, enrichment APIs, classification engine), and training.

Phase 3: Independent Operation

Month 4+

Your team runs the pipeline in-house. I stay available for advisory support, new network unlocks, and enrichment upgrades as you expand into new markets.

You get results from day one AND full ownership of the technology. No long-term dependency.

$X,XXX/mo

Months 1–3 managed delivery phase, covering full pipeline operations, weekly deliveries, and check-ins.

Methodology & Data Sources

Everything is refreshed automatically so your team always sees live publishers, verified contacts, and trustworthy audience data.
