Social Snowball

Seen as more than software — brands credit Social Snowball with informing how they structure and grow affiliate relationships.

“I paid @joshsuggss the first time to make street interview ads for me when he was still living in a dorm room @ZohaibRattu introduced me to him after an affiliate strategy call we had for Social Snowball Fast forward less than 2 years, and he's featured in the Post Wild stuff”— @TJ_Bongiorno on X

Grouped with other must-have Shopify apps by scaled brands, praised as reliable, worthwhile tech.

“Major apps we use across our 7-figure ecom brands that are 100% worth it: • Rapid Ads — saves a ton of time bulk launching ads + lets you turn off all the annoying enhancements 
• Loox — best review app we’ve used, consistently drives more social proof 
• Social Snowball — affiliate program with the cleanest UI 
• Triple Whale — solid third-party tracking when platform data gets messy These have all been needle movers for us.”— @ecomjohne on X

Cited as a system that can automatically track conversions and pay out affiliates without manual work.

“@coltonjetlee @Seanfrank ^yes % of sales on meta ads, either partner ads or purchased content. Payout a percentage of attributable revenue. Can be tracked manually and paid manually, or use any affiliate tracking system (social snowball being one) to track the conversions and automate payouts”— @DTC_Jared on X

Referenced in discussions about how brands structure fair, performance-based pay for affiliate creators.

“dawg some of these brands are getting rinsed for affiliate videos. I promise you if you refine your offer as a creator to maximize profits or reach for a brand, they will pay you even more and keep you long term. Some ideas to improve your offer as a creator: - Ask for cost assumptions for the brand to calculate how profitable you are as a creator. Include increases to your price based on profitability in your rates. - Present the value of your content as being multifaceted. GMV, Impression Value (CPM basis), and usage rights on Meta. This shows brands that the GMV number is not the only number they should be looking at when thinking about resigning you. - Reposting on other platforms with Social Snowball/Collab/Amz Affiliate links to increase your commission and their reach. Lots of unsustainable businesses out there, the more value you provide to your client the more value you will receive in return, long term.”— @rj_garcia12 on X
