Hi Hacker Community,That's my first post here so please be understandingI'd appreciate your insights on my approach as a 27-year-old affiliate marketer with quite a big switch in my business career.Over the past decade, I've been immersed in the marketing world, preparing to one day create a SaaS product rooted in my affiliate marketing experience.Armed with a deep understanding of how affiliate marketing networks function and a burning curiosity about the Web3 realm, I delved into the distinctive world of marketing in this space.Naturally, my primary interest lies within my field of expertise, affiliate marketing. I quickly realised that, in the present day, there are only a handful of players in the Web3 sphere that allow crypto projects to market their brands through affiliate marketing.However, there's a catch.If you're the creator of a crypto token, setting up a dedicated affiliate program for your token is, well, next to impossible. The traditional affiliate marketing framework doesn't quite fit the dynamics of the Web3 space.And this is where things get interesting.You see, if you, as a crypto project owner, wish to collaborate with a publisher or influencer, there's no surefire way to determine the precise outcome of this partnership. You can't measure the return on every dollar spent.Let me break it down. When a publisher, like a crypto YouTuber, mentions your token as part of a partnership, they can't earn a single cent through an affiliate link.Why, you ask?It's because the end-user ultimately needs to make a purchase on a cryptocurrency exchange, and these platforms don't support affiliate links. Consequently, the publisher doesn't get the data back about how many users they brought in or how many sales were generated.These insights are crucial for crypto token creators to build valuable affiliate programs in any niche and make informed investment decisions in partnerships based on tangible results.So, about four months ago, I decided to dive headfirst into researching this issue.That's when the idea struck: We needed a solution.Thus, my business partners and I embarked on creating the world's very first affiliate network with FIAT-Enabled Affiliate Programs for Web3 Tokens.Now, we're at the stage where we've developed a fully functional MVP. It includes:- Automatically dedicated affiliate programs for crypto projects that want to collaborate with Parascale.- A gateway for onboarding tokens and enabling publishers to create tracking links for specific tokens we partner with.- Dashboards for publishers and advertisers (crypto token projects) with real-time insights into traffic, clicks, and sales.- Comprehensive support for both publishers and advertisers, helping them amplify their marketing efforts and expand their horizons.Me and my team would greatly appreciate your feedback on our MVP, which is currently live for beta testers, including both publishers and advertisers.Your insights into our solution:1. Firstly.. just what do you generally think about it?2. Website UX/UI (https://parascale.io/)3. Our demo affiliate landing page dedicated to every crypto project would be invaluable (https://parascale.io/demo)and perhaps you have some pearls of wisdom for an Early-Stage SaaS founder in a very niche market like me?We're gearing up for our first integration with a crypto token in November and are eager to onboard more clients.Thank you in advance for your time and wish you luck with your ventures!Best, Mac Co-founder Parascale

Hey HN! My name is Junqueror, and want share with you a project I've been working on the last months.I am a software developer, I build my own apps, but I have always had problems in the marketing side.Some time ago I struggled with affiliation marketing.I thought that blockchain characteristics (transparency, security, reliability, payments) can really help to improve the weaknesses of current affiliation and referral systems: - program restrictions and conditions - unreliable tracking and attribution - hidden actions - commission rates - bad incentives - payment delays - platform commissions - contractual terms - fraudulent activitiesSo I'm building BreadCrumbs, a decentralized platform dedicated to the promotion of products wand services with crypto rewards and using blockchain as a tracking systemNot only improves deficiencies of affiliate and referral marketing, but also opens it yo anyone in the crypto space.I would like to hear feedback and know what do you think about it.- Do you think that blockchain and crypto can add value and improve traditional systems? - Is it interesting for crypto business and crypto users? - Does the "Share To Earn" make sense? Well, it already existed, but improved and moved to crypto

After several months of programming and iteration, I'm pleased to share BreadCrumbs with the Hacker News community.It's a platform I created to address a common problem for small businesses, startups and independent makers: getting their great products the visibility they deserve (I'm totally obsessed with providing a solution to this problem).BreadCrumbs leverages blockchain technology to democratize affiliate marketing.It allows users to promote products they love, earning cryptocurrencies in the process (without restrictions or restrictions of any kind).For businesses, it simplifies the creation and management of affiliate campaigns with performance-based pricing, offering a way to expand their reach without a large marketing budget. They will be able to reward affiliates and referrals with their own token, which is a better focus on their own brand and also cheaper for cryptocurrency-based projects.What makes BreadCrumbs unique? It is not just another affiliate platform; it is a decentralized approach, which ensures transparency, immediacy and trust between users and companies, while eliminating barriers and intermediaries.
