AW x STM is the result of a collaboration between Affiliate World Conferences and the legendary Stack That Money (STM) Forum. STM started in 2011 as a premium, private community for affiliate marketers, and quickly became one of the most influential forums in the performance marketing world. Today, as AW x STM, it serves as both a knowledge base and networking hub for new and veteran affiliates alike.
With thousands of active users and contributors, including super-affiliates, media buyers, agency owners, and tool creators, AW x STM provides exclusive insights, case studies, and direct support from some of the best in the business.
The forum is structured into multiple categories, with content ranging from technical setups to traffic source breakdowns and real-world campaign results. Key areas include:
