Affiliate influencer marketing platform

Affiliate influencer marketing pays creators on the sales they actually drive, not on follower count or a flat fee you hope pays off. KALO IQ finds the creators, tracks every sale to the right one and lets you pay on performance. Start free.

Here is the pitch in one line. Stop paying for reach and start paying for results. In an affiliate model each creator gets a unique link or code, every sale traces back to them. You pay a commission on what they sell. A creator who drives nothing costs you nothing. A creator who drives a lot earns a lot, which is exactly the incentive you want.

Why brands run affiliate over flat-fee

Flat-fee influencer deals ask you to predict performance before you have any data. You pay upfront and hope. Affiliate flips that. The risk sits with results, not with your budget. For a brand that cares about a measurable return per dollar, that is the difference between a marketing cost and a sales channel.

What you need to run it well

Three things. KALO IQ handles all three:

• Creator discovery: find creators whose audience actually buys your kind of product, from 150 million verified creators.
• Per-creator tracking: unique links or codes so every sale is attributed to the creator who earned it, with no guesswork at payout.
• Performance payouts: pay commission on real sales, so spend scales with revenue instead of running ahead of it.

Affiliate vs flat-fee at a glance

Many brands run both: flat fee for a launch push, affiliate for the ongoing always-on layer.
