Engineering & Leadership

Hey,

I want to share something that I’ve been working on since April this year.

It’s called “Promos Treino” (in free translation would be something like “Workout Promotions”).

It’s a WhatsApp group that shares fitness promotions (supplements, clothes and etc) with affiliate links in order to earn commissions.

The overall architecture looks like this:

So basically there’s a bot in other people’s promotions groups listening to new offers and sending them to our automation, which remove all the noise around it, classify with AI and if it worths to share (if it belongs to the same market we’re on, the discount is good, the product quality is compliant to our standards and so on), then it replace the original message’s affiliate link with our own and then share it into our own groups (every group receives the same messages, they’re actually replicas).

Yeah, I know, getting the promotions from other groups sucks. I am working in some own fetchers.
This is bad for the business as well, having the raw promotion is better for everybody, but as MVP, it works.

Recently I’ve joined forces with my collegue Antoane, who is expert in Ads.

Now the groups are growing, as well our commissions.

Here’s a picture of September data from our main marketplace:

The red rectangle is the commission amount, which is around US$ 633.00, which is good start point for a passive income.

By passive income I mean something that I genuinely don’t need to touch very often.

Obviously, for things to get traction and work, you need to put energy and keep the eyes on it, but what I mean is that the default operation/behavior of the system is autonomous. I am not gonna lie, this is wonderful and we’re really exited about the future.


In the next blogs I’ll share some more details about the automation, architecture and so on.

Also, I am about to write a post about our next feature, which is to support multiple WhatsApp numbers (due to ban).

Stay tuned!
