Supports Amazon / Shopify links.

Easy sign up compared to other affiliate programs I know of. Most programs require some vetting process.

Payments directly to Venmo.

Don't know if this is a new idea but I worked on it anyway.

Hi, I’m Warren and I’m building Shelf (https://getshelf.app/) - the easy way to turn any product URL into an affiliate links.

Basically, the old way to making affiliate links is: reach out to brands you want to work with, hope they respond, then pray you get into their affiliate program. Not much success here unless you’re already famous.

Shelf makes it easy for small content creators (or anyone) to get started with affiliate marketing / links with our 10 second sign up process. With Shelf, if you simply found a product you love, you can earn money by sharing that link with followers and friends.

Right now, we can generate affiliate links from any Amazon or Shopify product, and pay commission directly to Venmo (we’re adding more payment methods right now).

Let me know if you have questions or feedback - Thanks!

Why do you hijack the back button? Leaves an extremely poor impression.

hmm I don't think it's hijacked.

seems to not be on Chrome and Edge, but it is on Safari and Firefox, at least for me.

Thx for letting me know. Were you able to try out the tool?

I generally avoid Google sign-ins, so no. As soon as I saw that I tried to go back, which didn't work.

Cool idea. What sort of content niche are your early users?
