What is Slickdeals?

Slickdeals (website link: https://slickdeals.net/) is referred to as SD by industry insiders. It was founded by Van Trac in 1999 and is currently the largest discount sharing site in the United States, with more than 10 million monthly user visits, 80% of which are old customers, and more than 5 million APP installations. Its basic operating mechanism is that community forum members spontaneously share various discounts - users vote (like or dislike) and discuss - editors make comprehensive judgments to select which deals to put on the homepage.

If you are operating Amazon US, then Slickdeals is the first deal site that must be taken, because Slickdeals ranks fourth in Amazon referral traffic (ranked first among all deal sites outside the site). Due to the nature of the website, its conversion rate is particularly high, and it is normal to have thousands or tens of thousands of orders per day (determined by the nature of the product and the price-performance ratio).

The main source of the website is the United States, accounting for 95%. In addition, users on the deal site have strong shopping purposes, so the conversion rate has always been quite good.

How to post on Slickdeal? How to find influencers?

The official has clear requirements for stores and products posted on slickdeals:

A. Feedback should be more than 1000 (Lifetime)

B. The promoted product must have at least 50 reviews

So when you promote on slickdeals, first check whether your store and products meet the above requirements, especially the feedback (information source: https://slickdeals.net/f/9051583-amazon-3rd-party-merchant-policy-is-back-in-effect)

Posting with your own account:

It is not recommended. Slickdeals' anti-cheating system is becoming more and more powerful. Maintaining an account involves various operations such as browsers and IP addresses. It is very easy to be blocked and is time-consuming and laborious. It was possible a few years ago when it was not so strict, but it is not recommended now.

Find celebrities to post to:

Recommended, but you need to pay attention to the level of the influencer. This influencer refers to an account with Slickdeals. It is best to be a relatively active and influential Slickdeals member. The following is the level classification of Slickdeals members:

L1: Learner 0

L2: Beginner 25

L3: Nov 100

L4: Apprentice 300

L5: Journeyman 500

L6: Expert 1000

L7: Teacher 2000

L8: Grand Teacher 3000

L9: Master 4000

L10: Grand Master 6000

L stands for level. For example, to reach L5, you need to post 500 posts (including comments). Reputation is also an important reference indicator.

So how can you find a senior member on Slickdeals to help you post? There are mainly the following ways:

A. Find through an agent. Now many third-party service providers are providing this kind of posting service. You can often see them in some fake order groups (generally, those who fake orders will have deal services). It is important to discuss two points with the agent. First, the account level for posting the deal must be high. You cannot use low-level accounts such as Beginner. It is recommended to choose levels 3 to 8. Second, the deal survival time must be guaranteed to be more than 24 hours, otherwise it will be treated as an invalid post and no payment will be made. The general posting fee is around 20 to 30 US dollars. Some agents will provide homepage posting services (in fact, it is to like through various accounts, which is strictly prohibited by the official. At the least, the post will be deleted and the account will be banned, and at the worst, the brand/store name will be banned on the entire site, so this kind of black hat operation is not recommended). If successful, an additional fee of about 100 US dollars will be charged. (The quotes from different agents are slightly different)

B. Select from existing cooperating reviewers. Many Amazon reviewers will do celebrity promotion. Some small and medium-sized bloggers not only have Amazon accounts (which can help you post reviews on the site), but are also active in major forums and deal sites. They are likely to have relevant accounts. You can find them from existing partners. If there are already cooperating Slickdeals members, you can ask them to help recommend other senior members. Many of them are in the same circle. To develop Slickdeals member resources by yourself, you usually only need to provide them with some samples, but some will also charge a fee.

C. Build your own influencer database. In addition to actively developing resources, if our products are unique or our brand is well-known, we can also collect these member resources by building our own influencer database. Anker is one of the brands that used this method earlier, and it is now basically a standard feature of all official websites: https://www.anker.com/influencers

(PS: Generally, editors will focus on the source of discounts when reviewing posts. So when looking for members to post, first, the discount should be displayed on the Amazon front desk, and second, the discount information should be posted in some public groups related to Facebook first, so that there will be a link to the third-party discount source)
