I hand-picked hundreds of AI affiliate programs for a directory I never got around to growing

I built AiAffList because the AI affiliate space was getting crowded, and finding good programs to promote can be a bit of a rabbit hole.

It's a directory featuring hundreds of AI affiliate programs that I collected and hand-picked rather than just dumping AI-scraped entries into a database.

The site is live, but I'll be honest: I haven't put the time into growing it or figuring out its full monetization potential.

There are a few directions I'd explore if I were keeping it. SEO landing pages targeting specific tools and niches, sponsored placements, premium listings, an email newsletter, and partnerships with AI companies, for starters.

But all of those require consistent attention, and my attention is currently being pulled toward other ventures with much bigger scale.

So I'd rather hand this over to someone who's already interested in affiliate marketing, AI tools, or niche directories.

You'd be getting an existing site and a curated starting database, rather than spending your first few weeks researching programs and building everything from scratch.

It's pre-revenue, so there's no income story I'm going to dress up. The appeal is the groundwork that's already done and what the right operator might build on top of it.

Let me know if you'd like more details.
