Most Affiliate Programs Suck
Everyone talks about affiliate programs like they’re magical money-printing machines that multiply your marketing efforts overnight.
The True Cost of Most Affiliate Programs
Most people only look at commission rates when calculating the cost of their affiliate program.
Time Spent Managing Dead Weight
In nearly all affiliate programs – less than 10% of the affiliates make any sales at all.
Administrative Work
Every month brings another round of commission reports to generate, tax forms to process, and compliance issues to track.
Keeping Fraud In-Check
You spend hours checking to make sure your affiliates aren’t competing with you, or doing other fraudulent activities.
All this affiliate management, and for what?
Low-Value Affiliates
The wider you cast your net, the more you attract affiliates chasing quick commissions instead ofpartners who actually believe in your product.
Incentive Misalignment
Generic affiliates push discount codes and shallow promos that cheapen your brand, while the people who could really move the needle get drowned out.
Noise Over Signal
Hundreds of inactive or low-quality affiliates clog your reports, inflate your admin burden, and distract you from the handful of partners who drive real sales.
What If You Built Your Program For Partners Who Actually Sell
Instead of trying to build a massive network of affiliates, the partner-first approach focuses on building meaningful relationships with a small group of trusted partners who can actually move the needle for your business.
Seek Out Partners, Not Affiliates
Look for people who already have deep relationships with your ideal customers.
Work With Dozens, Not Hundreds
Focus your energy on a small group of partners who can drive real results.
Build Relationships That Last
Treat partnerships like long-term business relationships, instead of transactions.
Support What Works
Put your time into helping successful partners grow instead of chasing inactive affiliates.
Good Partners Know Other Good Partners
Your best partners will connect you with others who share their values and approach.
Stop Running Your Program Like Everyone Else
Approve anyone who applies and hope some of them sell
Carefully select partners who already serve your ideal customers
Build a generic "affiliate program" that attracts generic affiliates
Create multiple, focused incentive programs for specific types of partners
Spend time creating marketing materials and chasing inactive affiliates
Spend time working closely with partners who actually drive revenue
Transform How You Think About Partner Programs with Siren
Siren isn’t just another affiliate plugin. It’s a complete re-imagining of how partnership programs should work, built after watching countless businesses waste time and money on bloated affiliate networks that deliver minimal results. Every feature is designed to help you build focused, manageable programs around partners who actually drive growth.
And here’s what makes it special…
Siren is built around a simple truth: managing a hundred affiliates who never sell is worse than working with three partners who do. It’s designed to help you build and maintain the kinds of focused programs that actually work, without drowning in administrative overhead.
The platform comes from years of watching businesses struggle with traditional affiliate programs. These experiences revealed that successful programs don’t come from massive affiliate networks – they come from building meaningful relationships with a small group of partners who truly understand your value.
But here’s the reality…
Most businesses know their affiliate programs are broken. They see the minimal results, feel the administrative burden, and understand something needs to change. Yet they keep following the same “more affiliates = more sales” playbook because that’s how everyone else does it.
That’s why Siren is different. It helps you build focused programs that let you spend your time supporting partners who matter instead of managing affiliates who don’t.
The platform continues evolving based on feedback from businesses who’ve discovered that smaller, more focused programs consistently outperform massive affiliate networks.
