The Core

My first question is 'How local?'  Neighbohood? City? Region?

2nd question is how are you going to gather their eyeballs?

My wife uses Nextdoor site daily to keep up with our neighborhood.  I'm thinking a well-pitched post for local charities might get traction there or similar. Or FB?  But sustaining interest & top-of-mind awareness over the long term is going to be tough.

Cheers for the response

>how local

Just to local town, circa 20K people. The local community council have a fund raising of £8K for sprucing up the town with flowers. They're at 20% of their target. I suggested this idea to them.

Their website/FB presence is reasonable, I'd be willing to put in a few hours of work to get this kind of thing going. Was just thinking wrt idea 1) that it may fall foul of aff rules about encouraging clicks but I guess not a huge problem for CPA?

Will take a closer look at Nextdoor.

Think I'd leave the accounting side to them, since they'll be setup to deal with it.

I wouldn't think most affiliate managers would have any issues with this. We do similar setups for alumni groups, team fan communities, some cities and local organizations, non-profits, etc.

We have seen some very strong success with the "Shop and Support" type messaging which is what you are looking at.

>>weeds

I love that. As a naturalist, it's surprising difficult to explain to some people that "weeds" are just plants that one or more persons dislike. Beyond that, there's no such thing as a weed.
