Affiliate

AIBeat may earn a commission from some links, with disclosure where used.

Partnership exchange

Exchange visibility through an AIBeat media partnership

Partners may provide editorial coverage, newsletter mentions, relevant links, affiliate or referral opportunities, audience collaboration, or joint campaign support. AIBeat may provide a listing, newsletter mention, editorial inclusion, partner page mention, affiliate promotion, or featured placement when mutually agreed.

Nothing is automatic or guaranteed. Every exchange must be approved and disclosed when relevant.

No unsupported audience claims

AIBeat will only publish subscriber, traffic, conversion, or partner metrics when they are verified and approved for public use. Until then, service pages focus on format, fit, deliverables, and transparency.

FAQs

Founder-service questions, answered plainly

Is submitting a tool free?

Yes. Free Listing review is free, but it requires a public AIBeat badge or text link to verify website control before review.

Does payment guarantee approval?

No. Paid requests still require AIBeat review for quality, relevance, accuracy, and safety.

How long does review take?

Free submissions are reviewed as capacity allows. Launch Feature turnaround is listed as 3-5 business days after all assets are received.

What is the difference between Enhanced and Spotlight?

Enhanced improves the product listing. Spotlight adds clearly labeled promotional visibility such as category or homepage placement when scheduled.

Is newsletter coverage guaranteed?

Only packages that explicitly include a newsletter placement guarantee it. Spotlight includes newsletter consideration, not guaranteed placement.

How are sponsored articles labeled?

Sponsored and partner articles are visibly labeled. Payment does not buy positive editorial opinion.

Can AIBeat write the article?

AIBeat can format and develop a sponsored or partner article when the topic is useful and claims are verifiable.

Can I update my listing later?

Yes. Free listings can request updates; Enhanced includes one listing update within 30 days.

Do you guarantee traffic, leads, or sales?

No. AIBeat does not guarantee traffic, rankings, leads, sales, clicks, opens, or revenue.

Can we create a custom campaign?

Yes. Growth Campaign and Partnership options are designed for custom coordination.

Can we exchange features through a partnership?

Yes, when there is real audience and editorial value. Affiliate and exchange relationships are disclosed.

What AI tools are not accepted?

Misleading, unsafe, low-quality, spammy, or irrelevant products may be rejected even if payment is offered.
