It's true - you get a lot of bang for the buck here. The more I dig under Evolup's hood, the more I realize this is a banger platform with some minor setup issues.

The good: The AI will help you find products, provide direct links to the products, write a unique product description, create ads, write articles, generate your (SEO) friendly website and a lot more - holy smokes! You can tell the team has a lot of passion and wants to make the whole affiliate process enjoyable and creative.

But there are two cons imo.

First the UI/UX is decent (you can def find your way around) but it's not intuitive. You need to click around and drill down to find things. Fortunately they now have some really terrific onboarding videos and welcome emails to guide you. That said, more tutorials are needed and I am sure this will come.

Second, the onboarding required to open additional stores is, well, annoying. You need to go through an alarming checkout process (why?!), but there is no fee to do this since you are already an Appsumo LTD customer. So after the initial shock (do I really need to spend more money to use this platform - Answer: NO you don't). You just need to re-apply your Appsumo code in the coupon field as you checkout (yikes!) to bring the checkout cart down to $0.00. Annoying.

The problem? There is no obvious AS code on the original AS redemption page so you're gonna need help here. I thought I found my code on Evolup's platform but it wasn't quite right (failed!). This means you must reach out to Evolup support to locate and add the correct Appsumo code to open a second store. (Evolup's team responded very quickly in the platform chat btw and resolved my issue).

So while I'm grateful for their support, the process creates a lot of unnecessary friction. Let's fix this please and make the process more efficient and intuitive. I like to accomplish platform tasks on my own without reaching out to support. Who has the time? Not me.

Once you get through the (annoying) store setup, the rest is cake with all the extras. You're in for a treat - there is so much you can do here - this really is a one stop shop. I really like the website templates, the product tables, website copy - everything is well thought out and designed to help you make sales. You'll feel like you opened a truck full of gold.

So...If you do affiliate marketing and can't be bothered to find the perfect WP sales theme, create product tables with pricing that updates automaticvally, and learn all the nuances of Gutenberg, then def take a closer look at Evolup.

Despite a few initial onboarding issues, I'm excited to see where the team takes this platform!
