I'm also open to trusted affiliates creating some of their own material from my content, but it needs to be approved in advance each time.

Just one perspective, since you asked.

Just off the top of my head, there are so many ways creative affiliates can increase their own audience loyalty while pushing programs' sites. Meme creation, funny caption stories, community building content, the only limit to the list is one's imagination and, of course, ROI. Still, there's a lot of space for creativity, fun, and experimentation. VDBucks raises a key point though, most affiliate sites are pretty much low-effort or low-effort high replication models.

Maybe there's a third way? A personality-driven, rich derivative content site that benefits all 3 parties involved: the program, the affiliate, and the end user?
