Pardon my ignorance on the keto lifestyle, but do you think that 10 bucks per loaf of bread is a reasonable price? Even the reviews on their website indicate a lot of people think it's expensive.

Obviously your keto site has a lot of products, but given the energy in this particular affiliate writeup, have you seen their product in retail anywhere?

Thanks for reading!

Eh, it's sort of like anything else. People spend thousands of dollars on speakers, which is an unreasonable price to me but a reasonable price to the buyer. If you want bread that fits into the keto diet, "reasonable" is just a matter of what it's worth to you.

I also think that for many medium-to-high-income consumers, paying a $7 premium on a food they want is not that significant.

But I've never seen their product in retail stores. I put in the effort on chasing down the money more out of principle than hopes that I'd get any significant money out of the deal.

Right, I'm just wondering what due diligence looks like before you go to the effort of putting a new affiliate program into effect. Like 'is this a real product, do they actually sell things, and deliver them.'

Their 'find us in retail locations' lists GNC as a retailer, and GNC lists "Keto Burn capsules" as their only product line carried from KMK. I... am suspicious of that.
