Promotion Services

We currently offer promotion services through our website, WeChat Official Account, Xiaohongshu, reader groups, and other channels. If you have a product, service, or app you want to promote, you can contact us to cooperate. Here are the basic requirements:

  • The product or service should be targeted at users in North America. If it is for another country or region, details should be discussed case by case.
  • For product promotions, the product needs to be sold on a compliant, legitimate platform. For service promotions, the service should already have a certain user base or feedback.
  • Promotion requires a content fee (promotion fee) as well as a performance fee (for example, charged by qualified users). The exact structure is determined on a case-by-case basis.
  • We only promote products and services that are genuinely useful to our audience. We only accept campaigns that offer better terms than publicly available offers. It is not possible for us to profit by shortchanging our readers.
  • We do not accept promotions for any borderline, gray-market, or non-compliant services with Chinese or U.S. regulations.

Most promotions require coordination with us first so we can provide customized service. So if you are interested in promoting your product or service:

  • You can email [email protected] with a brief overview.
  • You can also add our WeChat assistant below: uscards101, and note: Promotion Cooperation.

We suggest the following types of content for recommendations:

  • Stocks, investing, taxes, insurance, and personal finance.
  • Travel-related products and services, including airlines, hotels, and car rentals.
  • Apps, websites, and tools that help people save money.
  • Products favored by the North American audience, especially those popular within the Chinese-speaking community.

Our principles:

  • Only run promotions that match the merchant’s real situation, while keeping content truthful, neutral, and accurate.
  • For services with a high degree of uncertainty, we will test them ourselves before promoting.
  • Only run promotions that are beneficial to readers and avoid wasting time on ineffective services or products.

Promotion Methods and Pricing

We now have promotion resources across multiple platforms, including our website, social media, WeChat groups, and paid Knowledge Planet accounts, so we can run combined, matrix-style campaigns to achieve the best results. Below is a partial overview of our resources, platforms, audience traffic, and audience types. Website traffic data can be checked here:

Article Promotion

Based on the product or service we receive, we create in-depth feature articles. These are published on the US Card 101 site, related forums, WeChat Official Accounts, Knowledge Planet, and other platforms. Articles receive major traffic when featured, but they also get referenced in related articles and continue to receive organic search traffic over time. If there is a major and meaningful update, we can feature the article on the homepage to reach a broader audience. For example:

Article promotion pricing for the website is based on writing time and effort. Long-form articles are generally priced at $500-$1,000 per piece as a one-time investment. For simple product recommendation ads, the price is $100-$500 per piece. Each article campaign includes three core components: the article itself, WeChat group promotion, and WeChat Official Account promotion.

You can also choose monthly website sidebar display ads. The ad remains in the site sidebar for one month, with prices ranging from $300-$500 per month, based on ad size.

Xiaohongshu and Forum Promotion

Xiaohongshu and forums each have their own review systems, so we usually use a soft-post style for promotion. We have more native insertion experience than most regular users, which helps avoid deletion and also drives traffic effectively to merchants. We have many successful examples, all achieved through Xiaohongshu promotion. For specific cases, please refer to the success stories below. Notably, Xiaohongshu has many Chinese international students and North American Chinese users, so performance is often very good, but its review controls are strict and many creators struggle to handle them well.

Xiaohongshu and forum articles generally range from $300-$1,000, depending on promotion difficulty and posting volume.

WeChat Groups and Private-Domain Promotion

WeChat groups and private-domain audiences tend to be more sticky, with higher conversion and retention rates. In addition to regular service-link promotion, we can run deeper campaigns and run benefit activities, such as in-group red envelopes and free-product lottery draws. This part can begin only after at least one successful collaboration has already been completed between the merchant and our team. Long-term private-domain promotion can bring continuous, ongoing traffic and a stable customer base.

Specific pricing is determined after discussion, depending on the project.

Selected Success Cases

Brokerage Platforms

We have long-term partnerships with Futu Moomoo, TradeUP, Webull, and other brokerages, with a cumulative conversion of 2,000+ long-term users. We keep articles compliant and up to date, and run article promotion, WeChat group promotion, and private-domain promotion to maintain retention and support a large base of high-net-worth users. Our partners provide account-opening rewards that are higher than public registration rewards, making it a true win-win collaboration.

In addition, we have written many brokerage investment articles to keep keyword coverage strong on-site so these partner articles continue to generate long-term traffic and keep attracting new users.

Cashback Platforms

We evaluate and write articles for multiple cashback platforms, with deep collaborations with RebatesMe, GoCashBack, Extrabux, and others. Total conversions of qualified users exceed 10,000. We continuously update valid campaign details and extra rewards, encouraging users to keep using the services and improving retention while consistently attracting new users.

ShopBack

We completed a full-platform collaboration with ShopBack, including article promotion, Xiaohongshu promotion, forum promotion, WeChat group, and private-domain promotion. In just a couple of weeks, more than 500 qualified users completed registration and used the platform multiple times. Even after the campaign window, we still saw strong long-tail traffic, continuously bringing in users who kept signing up and using it.

We also write multiple short updates tied to time-limited campaigns in the app, allowing readers to grab limited-time offers while bringing in sustained new-user traffic and maintaining existing user activity.

Upside

Starting in summer 2023, we signed a long-term cooperation agreement with U.S. Upside (a cashback company known for gas discounts). From 2023 to now, over two years, we published more than 30 promotion posts across 15 Xiaohongshu accounts. We also published 5 soft-promotion posts on ChineseNet, 1point3acres forum, and North America Saving newsletter forums (each with more than 10,000 traffic, with three posts featured). Results were significant, with over 3,200 long-term users generated for the brand.

Foodie.earth

Foodie.earth is a local Silicon Valley food-delivery innovation platform. We signed a long-term cooperation agreement at the end of 2024. In total, we pushed 16 promotions across 7 Xiaohongshu accounts. We also published multiple soft-promotion posts on ChineseNet, 1point3acres forum, and internal networks of major Silicon Valley technology companies. This brought more than 700 Silicon Valley local customer visits and helped lay a strong foundation for the next funding round.

Insurance Related

A Bay Area Progressive auto insurance broker and a Los Angeles AAA home insurance company came to us for promotion. We packaged the campaign and selected the clearest, strongest selling angles, then promoted through Xiaohongshu to convert substantial private-domain traffic. This brought over 100 clients in one month.

  • For specific promotion article links, please contact the ad assistant at the end of the article for details.

Short-Form Promotional Posts

We also work with selected high-quality products, negotiate additional discounts with merchants, and publish promotional short-form posts. These have consistently produced strong, real purchase order volume shortly after publishing.

Partnership Process

Almost all promotions require initial communication so we can provide customized service. If you are interested in promoting your product or service:

  • You can send an email to [email protected] and provide a brief overview.
  • You can also add the WeChat assistant below: uscards101, with the note: Promotion Cooperation.
