Day 4 on AffiSpark.

Useful lesson from this week: onboarding problems are often sequencing problems.

The wrong screen shown too early can create more friction than a missing feature.

For paid SaaS, pre-payment and post-payment should not feel the same. If the user has not activated yet, they usually do not need the whole product. They need the next required action.

Day 3 on AffiSpark.

Useful lesson from this week: positioning is not branding polish, it is conversion work.

A few people assumed AffiSpark was self-hosted. That was not a user problem. That was a messaging problem.

If someone has to decode what your product is, who it is for, or how it works, friction starts before signup.

I m launching AffiSpark on March 10, 2026, but before that I want honest answers from founders.

I built it because affiliate software for small SaaS often feels too bloated, too slow to set up, or too annoying to maintain.

But I don t want to assume I understand the real blocker.

If you run a SaaS and still haven t launched an affiliate program, what stopped you?
