The problem it solves

The market, and why this works now
The rise of social commerce platforms like Instagram and TikTok facilitates influencer marketing by allowing brands to directly link products in posts, making it easier for businesses to drive sales through influencers. A concrete first-revenue move could involve partnering with niche Facebook groups focused on specific industries, where businesses can promote their referral program builder and attract early adopters. A potential risk is the reliance on social media algorithms, which can change without notice, impacting visibility and engagement for both influencers and businesses.
