I can’t speak for other eds out there, but most of my assignments come through a specific publisher dashboard that allows me to interact with real-time reporting, analytics, etc. Anywho, last night I found out there is an actual max capacity of open assignments/stories. I am apparently at that number right now, and it’s a good problem to have, eh? For both of us, actually, because that means we’re going to be working on plenty more stories together. So yay!
What’s on my plate right now:
Taste of Home: Best flower subscription services to routinely treat a loved one, friend, etc to blooms. Yes, gotta try ‘em, and yes, gotta be affiliate-ready! Hit me by tomorrow with pitches. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: How to properly sharpen knives. We’re rounding up the best knife-sharpening gear and will need some expert commentary as well for this one. If you’re pitching products, they’ve gotta be affiliate-ready. If you’re pitching an expert, please only pitch one who IS NOT paid or endorsed by a brand. Pitch by Monday. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: Still need more Presidents Day weekend sales! Beefy, robust discounts preferred. So, 5% off is meh… 25% off? Yassss, girl! C’mon guys <3
If you pitched me on memory foam mattresses, I’m getting back to you today! I literally have to vet each and every pitch before next steps, so it’s taking me a min. Sorry, back to you in a jiffy!

Some other thoughts:
You guys really, really felt me on the sweatpants jeans issue. I’ve actually never had so many emails come through with “sis, me too” notes. May all our legs be blessed and kept in faux denim. We are now the Sisterhood of the Internet Sweatpants, or SOTIS from here on out. Lisa Richards is our President, and I apparently, am the SOTIS marketing rep.
Sending out the next paid subscriber blast after I finish this Botox article and get it live, so hold onto your pantaloons because it’s going to be brimming with all the very-specific retailer commissions you asked for.
Would love to support more Substack newsletters out there that are free + useful to the broader media community. Hit me with your suggestions in the comments so I can add ‘em to the next newsletter.
That’s it for now, dahlink! I’ll send the affiliate insights blast later today.
