      Barri has a great understanding of marketing strategy and social media. I really valued his insights, particularly around using social platforms to generate leads, which led to more traffic and enquiries through my website. He also helped me set up analytics tools, which have given me a clearer view of what’s working in my marketing. I appreciated how responsive he was whenever I needed to talk something through, and he’s a genuinely nice guy who knows his stuff.

      Barri is a great guy to work with. He really knows his stuff, and is very friendly and approachable too. Felt more like an extension of my team than a freelancer. We used him for some AdWords and Analytics assiastance, and customer acquisition strategy. He was very quick to respond and deliver, and very transparent and a great communicator throughout the project. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again. Thanks again, Barri!

      Waris Ali's Review Sourced from Google

      I applied for an SEO Specialist position and received a rejection email without any interview or initial discussion. While I understand that companies receive many applications, it would be helpful for candidates to receive more transparency regarding the selection process and the key qualifications being prioritized. I appreciate the response but was disappointed not to have the opportunity to discuss my experience and skills.

      Mario Inchausti's Review Sourced from Google

      Perhaps there are other things they do well. We hired 829 to build our website & it was by far one of the most ridiculous experiences I’ve ever faced. Staff was incompetent & condescending for good measure. They took a year and change to deliver a site that is horrifyingly unstable. Horrible.Edit: so many 5 star reviews should make one suspicious. They gave me more attention in an effort to get me to delete this review than when we genuinely needed it. Really horrible organization and I use my experience with them often as a cautionary tale. To recap: 829 offered services they were unqualified to deliver, overcharged for those and spent more time trying to upsell and pad their team with as many warm bodies as they could charge us for. Still salty about it…

      Caitlin Walker's Review Sourced from Google

      Our team chose 829 after interviewing many agencies for the complete rebrand, new website build, SEO improvements, and PR guidance and strategy. Collaborating on the design of the website was surprisingly productive, we needed one or two additional rounds then was first planned and we ended up with a design we all agreed delivered on the requested notes. From brand to website, clean and fresh aesthetic. Our SEO performance was immediately light years improved and continued to grow. The team brought excellent ideas forward and worked well with our opinionated colleagues with clear vision and preferences. I personally enjoyed the 829 staff assigned to our projects and appreciated the ease of working with them through delivery and post delivery management. I would hire them again and I would recommend them without hesitation.

      We partnered with Aakhuga Tech for SEO services, and the results have been genuinely impressive. Vaibhav and his team focus on clean, ethical SEO strategies that actually work long term. Our website traffic improved steadily, keyword rankings became stronger, and leads started increasing within a few months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affiliate Marketing Firms

What services do affiliate marketing companies provide?

Affiliate marketing agencies provide a broad spectrum of services aimed at elevating businesses’ commissions and revenue through a network of partners or affiliates.  

While many people associate affiliates strictly with social media influencers and public figures, professional affiliate marketing agencies manage a much broader ecosystem of niche content creators, review sites, coupon and loyalty portals, and larger media publishers.  

These partners promote a product or service to their established audiences, earning a commission only when a verified sale or lead is generated through their unique tracking affiliate link. An affiliate program generally follows a B2C (business-to-consumer) model, but B2B arrangements also exist. 

Key services of affiliate marketing companies encompass: 

  • Program setup 
  • Affiliate marketing strategy 
  • Partners recruitment 
  • Commission management 
  • Affiliate vetting 
  • Performance reporting  

What types of affiliate marketing are there?

Affiliate marketing is traditionally categorized by the relationship between the marketer and the product, as well as the promotional medium used. Professional affiliate engagement typically falls into three distinct categories: 

  • Involved affiliate marketing: This model relies on firsthand experience. The affiliate uses and endorses the product through reviews and tutorials. This type has shown to deliver a better conversion rate and make the business a trusted brand. 
  • Related affiliate marketing: The marketer operates within the same industry or niche as the product but does not necessarily use it personally. For example, a financial blog may promote a specific credit card to its established audience. 
  • Unattached affiliate marketing: A purely performance-based model where the affiliate has no direct connection to the product or its niche. The affiliate runs pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns and places the affiliate link in ads, hoping consumers click and purchase. 

How much do these services cost?

Across industries, the median affiliate commission rates stand at 5% to 30% of the sale amount. This percentage tends to be higher when collaborating with retail, beauty, and fashion brands, while B2B, electronics and other high-end products pay on the lower end. And that's only for the commissions payout.  

To this sum, businesses need to factor in an additional $2,000 to $10,000 per month for the affiliate marketing company. The scope usually dictates the service fee, finalized based on the number of affiliates, campaign setup, creative production, reporting, and optimization. 

In terms of the payment method, there are a few main models to choose from:  

  • Pay-per-sale: Pays a percentage of earn commissions 
  • Pay-per-lead: Pays for qualified referrals  
  • Pay-per-click: Offers small payments per each visitor 
  • Pay-per-install: Pays for each app/software download and install 

How are commissions usually tiered?

Affiliate marketing companies usually structure the commission based on the complexity of the conversion and the level of creator influence. Here are the average commissions and payouts businesses can expect: 

  • Reach and engagement: 5% to 20% 
  • Revenue-share tiers: 15% to 30% 
  • Flat fee or revenue-share agreements: Around 15% 
  • Referred sale commission: 5% to 25% 
  • Performance-based influencer compensation: 5% to 20% 

What is the difference between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing?

The main distinction between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing lies in the primary objective and the corresponding compensation structure.  

Affiliate marketing is primarily a performance-oriented model whereaffiliates earn commissions exclusively for prompting specific actions. The engagement delivers immediate return on investment (ROI) and functions as a direct sales channel. Consequently, the relationship between the brand and the affiliate is purely transactional. 

By contrast, influencer marketing uses a creator's social influence and audience to cultivate brand awareness and brand trust. Compensation in this model typically involves an upfront flat fee or product gifting in exchange for creative content and visibility. 

In essence, affiliate marketing agencies focus on the bottom of the sales funnel, while influencer agencies target the top by putting more emphasis on the narrative and brand resonance.
