Happy Tuesday!

Perhaps the tide is changing in favour of publishers.

Recently, a number of publishers called for fairer compensation models, as content continues to be scraped by AI platforms. Their proposed solution is something called pay-per-crawl.

Meanwhile, Perplexity has announced a new compensation model for publishers, which includes a subscription revenue share. However, it's unclear how affiliate will fit into this strategy.

Elsewhere, we're exploring B2B comedy, and cashflow data.

On with the news!

Tip of the Week

Stay at the top of your game

Check your cash flow, before you wreck your growth.

Kevin Edwards, Founder of the APMA, shared some insights from the upcoming publisher report.

43% of affiliates say late payments strain operations or limit growth.

This is clear: Timely payments are a growth lever.

When affiliates are paid promptly, they can plan campaigns, invest in new strategies, and focus on driving results rather than worrying about when the next payment will arrive.

Improving payment speed should be an essential objective in any programme; it helps them thrive and unlocks growth for everyone involved.
