Discovery + Tracking

Affiliate tracking to use with FindCreators

FindCreators helps you discover influencers and content creators who align with your brand. But turning creators into revenue-driving affiliates requires tracking infrastructure. Trackli gives every creator a referral link, tracks their conversions, and calculates commissions automatically.

What FindCreators does (and doesn't do)

What FindCreators does
  • Searches across platforms to find influencers and content creators relevant to your product category
  • Filters creators by audience size, engagement rate, niche, and platform presence
  • Provides creator profiles with audience demographics and content performance data
  • Helps identify micro-influencers and mid-tier creators often missed by traditional search
  • Supports discovery across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and blog-based creators
What FindCreatorsdoesn't do
  • Does not generate affiliate referral links for discovered creators
  • Does not track sales, sign-ups, or conversions driven by creators
  • Does not handle commission payments or payout schedules for creator affiliates
  • Does not provide creators with a performance dashboard or earnings portal
  • Does not integrate with payment processors for revenue attribution

The gap: why you still need tracking

FindCreatorsexcels at helping you discover and recruit affiliates, but once a partner says “yes,” you need infrastructure to generate unique referral links, track clicks and conversions, and calculate commissions automatically on every conversion. That's exactly what Trackli provides.

How FindCreators + Trackli work together

FindCreators and Trackli cover different phases of the creator affiliate workflow. FindCreators is your discovery and vetting tool — it helps you identify creators worth partnering with based on audience data and content fit. Trackli handles the operational side once those creators join your program: generating referral links, tracking conversions through your payment processor, and calculating commissions. The two tools don't connect directly; you recruit creators through FindCreators and then onboard them manually into your Trackli affiliate program.

Frequently asked questions

Can FindCreators track how much revenue a creator generates?
No. FindCreators helps you discover and evaluate creators but doesn't track their sales performance. Trackli provides the referral tracking, conversion attribution, and revenue reporting you need to measure each creator's actual impact.
How do I pay creators I find through FindCreators?
FindCreators doesn't handle payments. After recruiting a creator, onboard them into Trackli where commissions are automatically calculated based on tracked conversions. You review and pay affiliates through your preferred method.
Is FindCreators useful for SaaS affiliate programs or just ecommerce?
FindCreators works for both. Many SaaS companies recruit YouTubers and bloggers through FindCreators who then review and recommend their software. Trackli tracks the sign-ups and subscriptions those creators drive, regardless of your business model.
What platforms does FindCreators search?
FindCreators searches across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and blog-based creators. Regardless of the platform where you find a creator, Trackli provides a universal tracking link that works across all channels.
Can I manage both influencer deals and affiliate commissions in Trackli?
Trackli is focused on affiliate tracking and commission management. If you have flat-fee influencer deals alongside performance-based affiliate commissions, you can use Trackli for the affiliate side while managing flat-fee deals separately.
How many creators can I onboard from FindCreators into Trackli?
Trackli does not cap your affiliate count. Whether you recruit five creators or five hundred through FindCreators, Trackli handles click tracking, conversion attribution, and commission calculations for all of them.
