# Channels: Affiliate Guides affiliate marketing strategy for AI/SaaS products. Affiliate marketing uses a CPS (Cost Per Sale) model—pay only when sales occur. ROI typically 5:1 to 10:1; CAC 40%–50% lower than paid ads. **When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output. ## Initial Assessment **Check for project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, read it for product, audience, and positioning. Identify: 1. **Product type**: SaaS, AI tool, subscription 2. **Commission model**: Pay-per-sale, pay-per-lead, pay-per-click 3. **Target affiliates**: Content creators, publishers, coupon sites ## Commission Models | Model | Use | Typical Rate | |-------|-----|--------------| | **Pay-per-sale** | Most common; pay on conversion | 10%–20% | | **Pay-per-lead** | Lead gen (signup, form fill) | $5–50/lead | | **Pay-per-click** | Rare; risk of abuse | $0.01–10.50/click | For SaaS: Prefer pay-per-sale or pay-per-lead.

About this skill
What does the affiliate-marketing skill do?

When the user wants to plan, implement, or optimize affiliate marketing strategy. Also use when the user mentions "affiliate marketing," "affiliate program strategy," "CPS model," "affiliate recruitment," "commission structure," "affiliate partners," "affiliate network," "affiliate tracking," "affiliate commission," or "partner marketing."

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill affiliate-marketing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From kostja94/marketing-skills, a repository with 848 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
