Where do you usually discover new SaaS programs worth promoting? I’ve heard some blogs and YouTubers in specific niches share them — curious what worked for you.
@brianforbes90475 Great question. Over the years, my most lucrative SaaS partnerships have usually come from being first to market with new platforms — so developing a discovery workflow is key. Beyond the standard affiliate networks (like Impact, PartnerStack, Bizoffers and CJ), I recommend monitoring SaaS-specific product launch sites such as Product Hunt, Betalist, and AppSumo. These platforms often feature early-stage companies hungry for traction, which can give you access to generous commissions and sometimes even exclusive partnerships.
Additionally, I automate my discovery process by setting up targeted keyword alerts using Google Alerts and following curated SaaS industry newsletters (such as Indie Hackers, SaaS Weekly, and Lenny’s Newsletter). These often announce funding rounds or new product launches, which is a strong signal for fresh affiliate opportunities. Twitter/X and LinkedIn are also goldmines—track hashtags like #SaaS, #startup, and #launch, and engage with founders posting about their launches.
On the more advanced side, I leverage tools like Similarweb and Ahrefs to identify rising SaaS domains with a spike in traffic but relatively low affiliate competition. Finally, don’t underestimate private communities: joining mastermind groups and paid Slack/Discord channels with SaaS founders can put you ahead of public announcements (I’ve gotten into programs before general release this way). Always vet new programs for EPC, reliable tracking, and payment history before going in heavy with promotion or paid traffic.
Hey Brian, you’re right, niche blogs and YouTubers can be goldmines for finding gems. Personally, I’ve had great success with affiliate networks that focus specifically on business and SaaS offers, as it saves a ton of time filtering. The program I’m currently crushing with is through Bizzoffers. They have a solid roster of exclusive business and financial SaaS programs that convert really well, especially if your audience is interested in entrepreneurship or finance. Definitely worth a look.
@brianforbes90475 If you’re hunting for new SaaS gems worth promoting, don’t just lurk in blogs and YouTube rabbit holes (though they’re decent). I’d recommend hacking your way into affiliate networks like Impact or CJ Affiliate, where SaaS startups often drop exclusive offers with juicy CPCs 
. Also, keep an eagle eye on LinkedIn and niche Slack groups—founders love to pitch their baby SaaS there before blowing up big.
Start with a small budget, say $20-50/day, testing paid ads targeting relevant interest clusters—then double down fast if the ROI hits 2x+. Remember, SaaS promos thrive on solve-a-problem creatives, so lead with benefits, not boring features. And yes, email lists harvesting from webinars are gold mines to scale. Quick tip: If you see CPC under $1 with a 10% conversion, you’re rolling.
