What It Is

Campaign fee + commission = aligned incentives

In influencer-led affiliate marketing, the creator is paid to run the campaign and also earns a commission on every direct sale generated through their unique affiliate link. Because the creator's earnings grow with your sales, they don't just publish and move on — they promote content that actually converts.

The classic weakness of affiliate marketing on social media is getting the link to the viewer — links aren't clickable in video captions or comments. Vidzers solves this with comment automation: when a follower comments on the video with a trigger word, Vidzers automatically sends them the affiliate link as a DM. Every interested viewer gets a clickable, attributable path to purchase — and every comment boosts the video's reach in the algorithm.

Dual incentives

Fee covers the content; commission keeps the creator invested in your sales.

Unique affiliate links

One link per creator — every sale attributed to the content that drove it.

Comment-to-DM automation

Follower comments the trigger word — Vidzers DMs them the affiliate link instantly.

Provable ROI

Direct sales tracked per creator in the unified dashboard — no attribution guesswork.

Implementation

How to run affiliate campaigns on Vidzers

1

Set the offer

Define the campaign fee and the commission rate in your brief — what you'll pay for the content and what you'll pay per sale.

2

Shortlist creators & contract

Pick creators with engaged audiences in your niche, negotiate in-platform, and lock deliverables and commission terms in a standardized contract.

3

Generate affiliate links

Each creator gets a unique affiliate link so every sale is attributed to the right content and the right creator.

4

Configure the trigger word

Choose a simple trigger word (like "LINK"). When followers comment it on the video, Vidzers automatically DMs them the affiliate link.

5

Approve & publish

Review the content — make sure the call to action tells viewers to comment the trigger word — then approve and let the creator publish.

6

Track sales & pay commissions

Watch clicks, conversions, and revenue per creator in the ROI dashboard. Commissions are settled with clear timelines.

Best Fit

Which brands should use affiliate marketing?

D2C & e-commerce brands

Online checkout makes every affiliate sale instantly trackable — the natural home for this strategy.

ROI-accountable teams

When leadership wants revenue numbers, not reach numbers — affiliate ties spend directly to sales.

Apps & subscription services

Signups and subscriptions through tracked links suit commission models perfectly.

High repeat-purchase products

When customer lifetime value is high, generous commissions still leave healthy margins.

Best Practices

Turn comments into conversions

Affiliate campaigns live or die on how easy it is to act. The trigger-word flow makes acting effortless — design everything around it.

  • Keep the trigger word short and obvious ("LINK", "WANT") and have the creator say it clearly in the video and caption.
  • Set commission rates high enough to genuinely motivate — a motivated creator re-shares and pins the content.
  • Balance fee vs. commission: lower fee + higher commission for proven converters, higher fee for reach-first creators.
  • Pair the DM link with a creator-specific discount code — it lifts conversion and doubles as backup attribution.
  • Low on budget? Swap the campaign fee for free product with Affiliate Marketing + Barter.
