Partners
For brands and affiliate programs
Kitmere is a new, independent publication for people opening their first online store, mainly in the US. This page is for partner managers reviewing our application.
Who we write for
First-time founders before and just after launch: people choosing a store platform, setting up payments, working out sales tax, writing store policies and picking their first tools. Readers arrive with a practical question and leave with a decision, which is where a relevant tool recommendation helps them.
What we publish
- 42 published pages so far: step-by-step guides, platform and tool comparisons, and best-for lists.
- A free 15-step launch checklist and a profit per order calculator.
- Every fee, price and rule links to the official page it came from, with the date we checked it. See how we research and test.
Where traffic comes from
Search
Long-form guides answer the questions first-time founders search for: permits, EIN, sales tax, fees, platforms, shipping.

Email
A short note when a guide or checklist changes, sent only to people who asked for it.
We are new, so we do not quote audience numbers yet. When we have them, they will be measured, dated and shared on request.
How links are placed and disclosed
- Links appear only where a tool answers the reader's question: comparisons, best-for lists and the relevant step of a guide.
- Every page with affiliate links shows an FTC disclosure above the first link, and affiliate links carry
rel="sponsored". - Each page says who a tool is not for. A commission never changes a verdict.
- We follow each program's rules on social media, paid ads and link format.
What we never do
- Bid on your brand name or trademarks in paid search, or use them in our domain or social handles
- Publish coupon codes you have not approved, or run a coupon or cashback site
- Use incentivized clicks, pop-unders, cookie stuffing or misleading ads
- Hide links behind redirects when your program forbids it (those links go straight to you)
- Invent reviews, testimonials, ratings, user counts or results
