Automated Broken Affiliate Link Checker for YouTube Creators

The original poster has already identified and built a SaaS opportunity: an application to automatically check and flag broken affiliate links on YouTube videos. For content creators who rely on affiliate marketing for income, a single broken link can lead to significant lost revenue. A SaaS product that continuously monitors these links and provides actionable alerts (e.g., email, dashboard notifications) offers clear value.

Product Form: A web-based application (possibly with a browser extension for YouTube Studio integration) where creators connect their YouTube channels. The app scans video descriptions, comments, and other relevant areas for affiliate links, periodically checking their status. It flags broken links, provides reports on revenue impact, and potentially suggests replacements or helps update links. Features could include bulk link management, performance analytics for links, and integration with popular affiliate networks.

Expected Revenue: This is a B2C/B2B SaaS with a clear value proposition: preventing direct financial loss. Pricing could be a tiered monthly subscription based on the number of YouTube channels managed, the volume of links monitored, or the frequency of checks. Individual creators might pay $19-$49/month, while larger agencies or creators with multiple channels could pay $99-$299/month. With a growing creator economy, even a small market share could generate substantial recurring revenue.
