This entire playbook is written in the same Q&A format you should use for your own Mavely content. The more directly you answer each question, the easier it is for readers and answer engines to trust your recommendation.
Pair this playbook with the Affiliate Marketing Mavely Playbook to cover both conversion mechanics and AEO distribution.

Keep your Mavely dashboard open so you can grab links, update your spreadsheet, and hit publish while the insight is fresh.
1Why should you use Mavely instead of pitching brands one by one?
Mavely condenses outreach, negotiation, and tracking into one dashboard. You browse thousands of merchants, pull links instantly, and view unified reporting on clicks, orders, and payouts. That speed lets you respond to trends within hours instead of waiting weeks for one-off approvals.
Favorite ten evergreen merchants so you always have proven offers to plug into new guides.
2How do you set up a profile that gets approved within 72 hours?
Provide complete details: niche focus, audience size, platform links, traffic screenshots, and three examples of recent content. Add your tax form and preferred payout method before requesting merchants. The more complete the profile, the easier it is for reviewers to approve you on the first pass.
List upcoming content topics to show you already have planned campaigns waiting for Mavely offers.
3Which offers produce predictable, repeatable revenue?
Filter for EPC above $0.35, conversion rates above 5 percent, and products with recurring purchase behavior such as skincare refills, smart home consumables, or wellness subscriptions. Merchants with bonus tiers or seasonal pushes are ideal because they reward high volume quickly.
Log every merchant in a spreadsheet with EPC, conversion rate, and winning angles so you can double down on proven performers.
4What content formats answer reader questions and drive clicks?
Use question-first structures: each H2 is a full question, followed by an 80-150 word answer, an insight or stat, and a CTA that opens your Mavely link in a new tab. Mix written guides, 45 second reels, carousels, and email mini-series so every question lives across multiple channels.
Recycle every answer into a short video or email segment to triple your output from a single outline.
5How many CTAs should each guide include?
Place one CTA in the hero, one after every two questions, and one near the conclusion. Align the button copy with the question you just answered. Example: “Shop the three-step night routine” after explaining a nighttime skincare stack. Always open links in a new tab so readers can compare products without losing the guide.
Test solid gradient buttons versus outlined buttons and keep the winner consistent across all playbooks to build recognition.
6How do you track revenue per question or channel?
Append UTMs to every link, such as ?utm_source=guide&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=night-routine. In GA4, build an exploration grouped by campaign to see which question clusters drive the most clicks. Compare that report with the Mavely dashboard’s EPC and payable earnings to confirm profitability.
Run a weekly retro that highlights top three questions, underperformers, and the next experiments.
7What should you expect from Mavely payouts?
Most merchants run NET-30 payouts, while select premium partners pay NET-15. Orders appear as pending until the return window closes. Payable totals are deposited automatically to your bank, PayPal, or gift card balance. Keep an eye on the payout tab to forecast revenue and reinvest in production.
Enable payout emails so you know when large deposits hit and can allocate part of the funds to paid amplification.
8How do you scale Mavely content without burning out?
Build a repeatable template: question, answer, proof, CTA. Draft one flagship guide on your site, then repurpose bite-sized versions for TikTok, Reels, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and email. Schedule monthly refreshes to swap in new offers and seasonal angles. Scaling is about multiplying distribution, not rewriting from scratch.
Create a shared swipe file of high-performing intros, stats, and CTA lines so every new piece starts faster.
