AI + Marketplace: The Secret to Creator Success in 2025
URLgenius’ revolutionary tech—Instant App Linking, AI-driven recommendations, and an integrated Marketplace with over 440,000 products—has been the engine behind this unprecedented growth. During Prime Day, creators leveraged these tools to generate a 400% surge of new Marketplace links, while peak days saw daily link creation soar 500% above the norm. This momentum comes as the entire industry shifts to ROI-first, AI-powered strategies, with global influencer marketing spend hitting $32.55 billion and brands turning to micro and mid-tier creators for faster, measurable results.

“The Creator Economy is in a new phase. Inflation uncertainty and shifting commissions mean creators need product flexibility, agility, and instant access to high-value opportunities like never before,” said Brian Klais, CEO & founder of URLgenius. “AI-powered recommendations, broad product access, and real-time commission alerts—all at scale—meet this new reality.”

The Future: Creators Forge Through Economic Uncertainty
As commission rates, product inflation, and platform competition fluctuate, creators are turning to URLgenius for the flexibility and automation they need to stay ahead. The platform’s AI-powered recommendations and instant link creation save time, helping creators quickly pivot to the most lucrative opportunities and maximize income even as the market shifts.

According to the recent URLgenius Creator Lightning Survey, 57% of creators use AI to streamline workflows and boost efficiency. Yet, with 52% of full-time creators reporting decreased consumer spending on affiliate-linked products, the need for smarter, real-time monetization has never been greater.

“Having a wider array of products and commission opportunities is everything right now,” Klais went on to say. “Our mission is to remove friction, empower creators, and keep them one step ahead—no matter how the economy shifts.”

By helping creators adapt faster and uncover higher-earning opportunities with less effort, URLgenius is enabling them not just to weather uncertainty, but to thrive.
