Slickdeals had more than 700 million website visits in 2016, with 10 million active users per month, 70% of which are between 18 and 44 years old and have a relatively high level of education. At the same time, 80% of visitors log in to the Slickdeals website every day.

Operation Process

Generally, users post the deals promotion information they find on the Slickdeals forum. The forum will give the promotion information a score based on the information and user votes. When the score is high, the information will be included in the Trending Deals of Slickdeals. Similarly, the deals with a high ranking in the Trending Deals will be included in the Popular Deals. And finally, the deals with a high ranking in the Popular Deals will be included in the discounts on the homepage.

Slickdeals posting method

1. Contact SD celebrities to post, usually for a fee.

2. Use SD to post by yourself.

3. Submit the post to SD backend for review. Usually it is free, depending on the price and attractiveness of the deal.

How to become a popular deal

1. The product itself. First, the product you release must have a sufficient user market and be relatively popular (this depends on your market forecast and product selection capabilities). Second, the product must have enough positive reviews. Reviews represent the quality of your product to a certain extent. If a product has many good reviews, it means that it has been recognized by many people.

2. Discount strength. Basically, you will lose money if you post on slickdeals in the early stage. So the bigger the discount, the better. This is a very critical factor in determining whether your post can become a popular deal.

3. Poster. Some people say that it doesn’t matter who you ask to post. There are some popular deals on slickdeals, and even posts on frontpage, whose posters are not very high-level, but you should pay attention that it is because the price of the product is almost dirt cheap that makes this post popular.

How to Become a FrontPage Deals

1. First, the post must become Popular

2. After becoming a Popular post, the post must have about 25 natural likes.

3. The post cannot become invalid after it becomes popular and the Expired tag will appear

4. The post price should be the lowest in history (sometimes not absolute)

5. Don’t have too many negative comments under the post

6. The availability of a product or service cannot be too limited. For example, if a product can only be shipped to a certain state in the United States, this is not acceptable.

Several factors of fire stickers

1. Account level. The higher the account level, the easier it is for a post to go viral.

If you have a high-level account, posting will be easy. If you don't have one, you can create one yourself, but it takes time to create one. The fastest way is to find celebrities to post for you, especially those who are L5 or above, and find accounts with Pro logos to post for you, which will make it easier to get into the Front or popular pages.

2. The quality of the accounts that like and comment on posts determines whether a post is likely to be deleted.

Likes and comments from non-professional users are easily identified as spam by the system. It is not a big problem if it is in small quantities, but if you use a large number of accounts to do so in order to promote a post, the risk is relatively large. It is possible that the post will be deleted, the main account will be deleted, the small account will be deleted, and the brand will be blocked.

3. Number of likes and comments

The more valid likes and comments there are, the easier it is to promote a post.

4. Operations related to likes and comments from a large number of accounts

In order to get more likes and comments to promote your posts, you need to have a group of small accounts, or be able to contact a group of celebrities or Slickdeals users. Only after you have these resources can you start to promote your posts.

It is recommended to have more than 100 accounts for pushing or maintaining accounts. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid these accounts being identified as associated or spam by Slickdeals. Therefore, it is recommended to use different IPs and different computers for operation. Generally, operators will use VPS or virtual machines for operation, and the location coordinates are all located in the United States. At the same time, these accounts cannot be used right after registration, and need to be maintained for a period of time. Due to the complexity of the operation, many users directly find a third party to operate.

How to prevent Slickdeals from getting blocked for posting

1. Make sure the deals you post are the lowest prices on the entire web. Search the entire web first, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart and AliExpress.

2. Short URL is not supported by Slickdeals. Avoid using short link tools such as Google, Amazon and bitly.

3. Make sure not to add any tracking information. Make sure not to add any UTM tracking information. If you want to use tracking, it is recommended to do a special product event on Slickdeals.

4. Crowdfunding links cannot be sent

5. Avoid using multiple accounts to post cheating posts and comments. The system will judge whether you are cheating based on your computer, IP, etc. If you register multiple accounts for cheating in a short period of time, you will also be investigated. The best practice is to use different computers, different IPs, and different login time periods to register accounts, and keep the accounts for a period of time before operating. The core logic is to make these accounts behave like a normal account. Otherwise, there will be a risk of account and brand closure.

6. The same product cannot be posted repeatedly. This is clearly stated in the Slickdeals posting guide. You must search before posting to ensure that there are no duplicate posts. If you ignore this rule, the consequence may be account suspension or even brand closure. The best practice is to push the post up.

7. The prerequisite for Amazon sellers to post in Slickdeals is that the store has 1,000 reviews, otherwise they need to contact the editor for publication.

8. The last and most important point is that you cannot post indiscriminately. You cannot post top posts in this way. Also, the price must be attractive enough.

Platform Penalties

1. Give the poster a warning or even block his account

2. Suspend the like function of the account that likes the post, or even block the account that likes the post

3. Even more serious is to ban the brand of the product on SD (so that any product of this brand can no longer be posted on SD)

Targeting Amazon

importance:

SD is one of the most direct promotional websites for AMAZON. As an AMAZON seller, using SD can attract traffic for your listing and improve its ranking in the short term.

Posting requirements: (for Amazon platform)

Amazon stores must have more than 1,000 Feedbacks;

The promoted or published products must have more than 50 Reviews;

The reviews of the products promoted or published must have less than 20% of low quality reviews on the Fakespot.com website. Currently, this regulation only applies to Amazon merchants.

New rules were introduced in July 2016: the previous three regulations were removed, and Amazon third-party sellers can post on Slickdeals (moderators and administrators have the right to determine which posts violate the rules).

However, sellers should not blindly register accounts and publish promotional information. Slickdeals strictly prohibits sellers from engaging in self-marketing, and is very strict in detecting new accounts and associated accounts. Once a seller is found to be engaging in self-marketing, the user account will be immediately blocked and the release of product information containing related keywords will be prohibited. In serious cases, the ban may even be permanent.
