About Eastlink | Africa's Creator Commerce Platform

Why We Exist

Bridging the Gap Between Businesses and Creators

Two problems. One platform. Built for Africa.

📊

Marketing That's Hard to Measure

Many African businesses spend on marketing without knowing what works. Traditional advertising is expensive and results are unclear.

💡

Skills Without a Platform

Thousands of young people in Africa have influence, audiences, and digital marketing skills but no reliable way to earn from them.

Performance-Based Partnerships

Eastlink connects businesses with affiliates through tracked links and promo codes. Businesses pay only for results. Affiliates earn for every referral.

The Founder

Meet Baraka Wilfred

Founder & CEO — Eastlink Affiliate

When I started Eastlink, I realized that many businesses in Africa struggle to get affordable and measurable marketing, while many young people online have influence, audiences, and marketing skills but no reliable way to earn from them.

I built Eastlink to connect these two sides through affiliate marketing — giving businesses a performance-based way to grow and giving creators, students, and digital marketers an opportunity to earn online through referrals and partnerships.

My goal is to help build a stronger digital economy in Africa where anyone with creativity, consistency, and internet access can create income opportunities.

Creator Economy

Built for the Creator Economy

Every affiliate on Eastlink can build a public Creator Profile — showcasing their audience, platforms, and content — and get discovered by brands through our public creator directory. Creators are ranked into Nano, Micro, and Rising tiers based on real audience data, and vendors can send content briefs directly through the platform. This isn't just affiliate marketing — it's infrastructure for Africa's growing creator economy.

The Network

A Distribution Network, Not Just a Tool

When a business joins Eastlink, they're not buying software — they're plugging into a distribution network of vetted affiliates and creators across Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Cameroon, and beyond. Every affiliate is already active on WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, and their own local networks — the exact channels where African consumers actually pay attention. Instead of building an audience from zero, a business launches a campaign and taps into thousands of trusted voices already promoting to their own real followers.

📈 Instant Reach ✅ Trusted Voices 💰 Pay Only for Results

Whether you're launching a product, running a promotion, or building brand awareness — Eastlink gives you access to the distribution most businesses spend years building.

Transparency

What Eastlink Is NOT

We believe in being completely honest about what our platform does and does not do.

🛒

Not a Shop

You cannot buy products directly on Eastlink. We connect you with businesses — purchases happen on the merchant's own website or platform.

💼

Not a Job Platform

Affiliates are not employees of Eastlink or any merchant. There is no salary, no employment contract, and no guaranteed income.

🏦

Not a Loan Platform

Eastlink does not offer loans, investments, or financial products. Any platform claiming otherwise is not affiliated with us.

⚠️

No Guaranteed Earnings

Affiliates earn only through successful referrals. Income depends entirely on your effort, audience, and promotion quality.
