Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Damir, and I built Linkgaze after seeing a problem that tons of content creators face. ## The Problem I Observed I have friends who are YouTubers, bloggers, and Instagram influencers. They all do affiliate marketing - promoting products across multiple platforms. And they all had the same frustration: **"I promote this product everywhere, but I have no idea which platform actually drives sales."** One friend was spending 15 hours/week making YouTube videos. Turned out her blog (which she barely updated) was driving 80% of her affiliate revenue. She only found out after manually tracking for a month. Total pain. ## Why Existing Tools Don't Solve This I looked at what was available: ❌ **Bitly/Short.io:** Track clicks, but not conversions. "Cool, 100 clicks... but did anyone buy?" ❌ **Google Analytics:** Way too complex for most creators. My friend spent 4 hours trying to set it up and gave up. ❌ **WordPress plugins (Pretty Links):** Only work if you use WordPress. Most creators are on Wix, Squarespace, or just social. ❌ **Enterprise tools (Voluum):** $500/month. Overkill for individual creators. **The gap:** Simple, affordable tool ($12-29/mo) that works across ALL platforms and shows both clicks AND conversions. So I built it. ## How Linkgaze Works 1. **Create a short link** (linkgaze.io/camera) 2. **Copy for each platform** - auto-adds tracking - YouTube version: ?utm_source=youtube - Instagram version: ?utm_source=instagram - Blog version: ?utm_source=blog 3. **See which platform drives clicks** in real-time dashboard 4. **Import affiliate reports** (Amazon, ClickBank, etc.) to match conversions ## Real User Story Beta tester Sarah (fitness YouTuber): - Promoted workout equipment on YouTube, Instagram, and her blog - After 30 days of tracking with Linkgaze: - YouTube: 450 clicks → 12 sales - Instagram: 180 clicks → 2 sales - Blog: 95 clicks → 18 sales **Her blog had 20% of the traffic but 45% of the sales.** She completely changed her content strategy. Now focuses 70% on blog, 30% on video. ## Who This Is For ✓ Affiliate marketers across multiple platforms ✓ YouTubers who also blog/post on social ✓ Newsletter writers promoting products ✓ Anyone asking: "Which platform actually makes me money?" ## Pricing **Free tier:** 10 links, 1,000 clicks/month (great for testing) **Starter:** $12/mo - unlimited links, 10k clicks/month **Pro:** $29/mo - unlimited everything + custom domain ## Product Hunt Special 🎁 **Code: PRODUCTHUNT for lifetime 30% off** (first 100 customers) - Starter: $8.40/mo forever - Pro: $20.30/mo forever ## Tech Stack (for the curious) - Frontend: React - Backend: Node.js + Express - Database: MongoDB - Hosting: Vercel (frontend) + Railway (backend) - Payments: Stripe Built in about 3 months of nights/weekends. ## What's Next This is v1. Working on: - Direct integrations with affiliate networks (no manual CSV imports) - Team collaboration features - A/B testing for different UTM strategies - Mobile app ## I'd Love Your Feedback 1. **Is this solving a real problem?** Or am I off-base? 2. **What features would make this essential?** 3. **Creators: What's your current tracking method?** Also happy to answer: - Technical questions about the build - Why we chose this pricing - Challenges with UTM parameter tracking - How conversion matching works Thanks for checking it out! 🚀 Try free (no credit card): https://linkgaze.io --- P.S.
