Ever wondered what's on a startup CEO's short list of favorite things?

I'll tell you. Or actually, I can show you... (à la Tom Riddle's diary).

Beacons CEO Neal recently posted on his LinkedIn that he added his first affiliate links to his Link in Bio with the launch of Affiliates on Beacons!

He organized his recommended products into categories with our awesome Collections, which as you can see, are displayed right on his Link in Bio (no need for fans to click out to a third party platform 👀). Neal's two Collections are:

As you can tell, Neal loves to... wear things and work! (God forbid a man have hobbies.)

Anyway, if you want to drip yourself out like Neal and match him in 3-5 business days, check out his favorite products on his Link in Bio.

And if you want to set up your OWN Collections and affiliate links, apply today to join Affiliate on Beacons and start building relationships with your dream brands.

Now for a learning moment.

Attention Snap Stars 🤩

Beacons and Snap have been cooking up a new integration so that you can showcase your Snapchat highlights to pitch and win brand deals 🤝

You can now link your Snapchat Public Profile to your Beacons account— making it easier than ever link Snapchat data in your media kit (and rosters, for your creator talent managers out there) that you send to brands.

Once you connect, you get access to detailed analytics, including average Spotlight views, watch time, audience demographics, and more.

It's a complete picture of your reach on Snapchat and gives brands yet another data-backed reason why they should work with you.

Connect Snapchat

To connect your profile, you'll need to be part of Snapchat’s Brand Partnerships Program. You can learn more here! If you have any questions on connecting, reply here or reach out directly to support@beacons.ai!

Not yet part of Snapchat's Brand Partnerships Program? You can still connect your other social accounts directly to Beacons to sync your stats to your media kits and pitch brands. Get that bag!

Wrong take: nobody pays attention to URLs.

Correct take: Everybody (from your fans to brands you want to partner with) will notice your URL to your Beacons Link in Bio or website. So what do you want yours to say about you?

If your Link in Bio is where your online presence lives, your URL is the front door. Beacons has always wanted to let creators elevate their own brands above our own, which is why we've made it possible to use a custom domain (while other Link in Bio platforms don't 👀)

It's a powerful marketing move for a creator: it cements your online identity as uniquely yours in a way that's branded and memorable.

Whether you're linking to affiliate products or selling your own digital products from your Beacons page, you can help fans know where to find your products with a custom domain like .store.

Beacons recently teamed up with .Store Domains to create a special ~branding moment~ for you: all Beacons Pro users now get a free .Store domain (which is proven to increase traffic by 87% and 2x your Google rankings).

If you're considering a custom domain, why not see if the one you want is available and claim it before anyone else does?

Last week, if you noticed that I was conspicuously absent from your inbox, that's because the entire Beacons team was together in NYC for our team offsite!

We did some quintessentially New York things, like:

Ate pizza
Drank coffee
Walked a lot
Did an engineering buildathon for 8 hours
Co-hosted an event at TikTok Live HQ in Times Square

Just a typical NYC day in the life!

The event that we co-hosted with TikTok Live was pretty incredible—we had a chance to preview some features we're building for creators and creator talent managers to the guests, meet tons of new creators and managers, and enjoy some drinks (& the view).

If you're a creator manager who's not yet using Beacons to manage your talent roster—let's fix that today! Get started here, or just reply to this email :)

Other updates from NYC:

We're all getting destroyed by spring allergies. Our office is now stocked with Kleenex, Claritin, and eye drops. 🌸
For anyone following along from last week, the AI Notetaking Intern disappeared from our team Zoom calls and has been replaced by a more professional counterpart, the AI Notetaker's Secretary, who has a ruthless zero-sum mindset.

Someone made this:

That's all folks! Go enjoy the outdoors, responsibly, with tissues and eye drops. Then log into Beacons when you're done.
