A: Best question yet, so I'll take the time to answer it.

TLDR; We don't know. We just launched this product in January and that's why we're running the LTD - To build it in public. Our development path has analytics coming later on for a few reasons (see below) so in the interim we're looking for "Success Stories" people share.

Phase 1:
- AppSumo has a lot of WordPress users, so we positioned the product as a content engine for WP users looking for high value SEO content they can monetize easily via affiliate links

- We're dealing with different Affiliate platforms to automate Affiliate links and users can just import products with random affiliate links so we're not even connected to those affiliate platforms. Wish we could close the loop programmatically, but we can't.

- WordPress users just want the content. They don't want us to add any tracking. Some don't even want the images remotely hosted by us. So, we're a content engine for WP users. We're OK with tapping into an existing workflow in this phase while we focus on content creation, editing, and exporting.

Phase 2:
- if we're tapping into an existing workflow in Phase 1, our plan is to also build out a "Medium for Product Research". Essentially, our own community where we host the content and we can track and communicate results.

- We still can't close the loop on the affiliate earnings, but those that publish Roundups to Roundups.ai will benefit from analytics.

- Our long term plan is get product brands to sponsor Roundups hosted by Roundups and then we can deliver both revenue to Roundups users from that and close the loop on the analytics and revenue generated and shared. Any of the affiliate earnings from actual purchases will be additional revenue for marketers, but still outside of our scope of tracking success metrics beyond Success Stories shared.
