Glitchy: What Is It, Review & Insights Discover the opportunities and risks of this digital marketing platform.

Recently, while scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon an ad for Glitchy. Positioned as a community-driven platform for earning online, it piqued my curiosity. So, I decided to dig deeper. Here’s everything you need to know about Glitchy—its features, earning tools, and whether it’s worth your time.

What Is Glitchy?

Glitchy is a digital marketing platform powered by its community of over 30,000 Discord users. The platform offers affiliate marketing opportunities alongside free tools for digital marketers, like extensions, VPNs, and content creation resources. There’s also an iOS app, but unfortunately, no Android version yet.

The standout feature? Its active Discord community. Users share success stories, tips, and advice to navigate challenges like ad account bans. However, gaining full access to Glitchy requires linking your Discord account and providing payment information.

While heavily marketed, including in Ukraine, most affiliate programs are geared towards U.S. and English-speaking audiences.

How to Earn on Glitchy

Glitchy revolves around affiliate marketing. You earn by promoting offers through your unique referral link, with payouts based on user actions like clicks, purchases, or subscriptions.

To get started:

Register on the website, verify your email, and access your dashboard.

Connect your Discord account.

Set up payment information—bank transfer or Stripe.

Once completed, you can browse offers, generate affiliate links, and track conversions and earnings from your dashboard.

Additional Features

Launching Your Own Programs or Services

Glitchy lets you create and promote your affiliate program or sell services. Simply click "Partner with Glitchy" in the dashboard to explore options. However, the marketplace seems underdeveloped, with only a few active offers.

Referral Program

Glitchy’s referral program rewards users with 5% of direct referrals’ earnings and an additional 1% from sub-referrals.

Free Tools & Resources

The platform provides a curated list of free marketing tools, accessible through the "Starter Pack" section. Unlike other features, you don’t need to link your Discord or payment info to access these.

How Much Can You Earn?

Earnings on Glitchy depend largely on your audience. For those without organic traffic from English-speaking countries, paid ads might be necessary, which adds to your costs.

With a strategic approach, affiliate marketing can generate hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month. However, the risks are clear: poor ad performance or unreliable affiliate platforms can lead to losses.

Withdrawing Earnings

You can withdraw earnings once you reach a minimum of $100. Payout options include:

Direct bank transfer

Stripe payments

Payment schedules vary by program:

Net-7: Weekly payments every Wednesday for the previous week.

Net-30: Payments at the start of the following month.

Referral commissions: Paid in the first or second week of the following month.

User Reviews: Mixed Opinions

Glitchy’s reviews are scarce, and its online presence raises questions. On TrustPilot, there’s only one 5-star review, giving it a rating of 3.7/5. Similarly, ScamAdviser shows no reviews, and Reddit has a lone complaint about payment delays with gift cards.

Despite claiming 40,000 users since 2022, Glitchy’s website traffic is surprisingly low, at fewer than 100 monthly visitors. This discrepancy makes it hard to gauge the platform’s legitimacy.

Final Thoughts

Glitchy’s potential lies in its affiliate programs and marketing tools, but its lack of transparency and user feedback is a red flag. While the free resources and Discord community are worth exploring, I’d hesitate to invest in its affiliate campaigns without more proven success stories.

If you’re looking for new marketing tools or want to test the waters of affiliate marketing, Glitchy might be worth a try. But proceed with caution—and keep your investments minimal until more trustworthy reviews surface.

Tbh at this point you should just make your own webcomic app/website because it would probably be 100 times better than whatever going on with webtoon right now.

hahaha it wouldn't tho, sorry 💀

Here's the fundamental issue with webcomic platforms that a lot of people just don't realize (and why they're so difficult to run successfully):

Storage costs are incredibly expensive, it's why so many sites have limitations on file sizes / page sizes / etc. because all of those images and site info have to be stored somewhere, which costs $$$.

Maintenance costs are expensive and get more so as you grow, you need people who are capable of fixing bugs ASAP and managing the servers and site itself

Financially speaking, webcomics are in a state of high supply, low demand. Loads of artists are willing to create their passion projects, but getting people to read them and pay for them is a whole other issue. Demand is high in the general sense that once people get attached to a webtoon they'll demand more, but many people aren't actually willing to go looking for new stuff to read and depend more on what sites feed them (and what they already like). There are a lot of comics to go around and thus a lot of competition with a limited audience of people willing to actually pay for them.

Trying to build a new platform from the ground up is incredibly difficult and a majority of sites fail within their first year. Not only do you have to convince artists to take a chance on your platform, you have to convince readers to come. Readers won't come if there isn't work on the platform to read, but artists won't come if they don't think the site will be worth it due to low traffic numbers. This is why the artists with large followings who are willing to take chances on the smaller sites are crucial, but that's only if you can convince them to use the site in favor of (or alongside) whatever platform they're using already where the majority of their audience lies. For many creators it's just not worth the time, energy, or risk.

Even if you find short-term success, in the long-term there are always going to be profit margins to maintain. The more users you pull in, the more storage is used by incoming artists, the more you have to spend on storage and server maintenance costs, and that means either taking the risk at crowdfunding (ex. ComicFury) or having to resort to outsider investments (ex. Tapas). Look at SmackJeeves, it used to be a titan in the independent webcomic hosting community, until it folded over to a buyout by NHN and then was pretty much immediately shuttered due to NHN basically turning it into a manwha scanlation site and driving away its entire userbase. And if you don't get bought out and try your hand at crowdfunding, you may just wind up living on a lifeline that could cut out at any moment, like what happened to Inkblazers (fun fact, the death of Inkblazers was what kicked off the cultural shift in Tapas around 2015-16 when all of IB's users migrated over and brought their work with them which was more aimed towards the BL and romancee drama community, rather than the comedy / gag-a-day culture that Tapas had made itself known for... now you deadass can't tell Tapas apart from a lot of scanlation sites because it got bought out by Kakao and kept putting all of its eggs into the isekai/romance drama basket.)

Right now the mindset in which artists and readers are operating is that they're trying way, way too hard to find a "one size fits all" site. Readers want a place where they can find all their favorite webtoons without much effort, artists wants a place where they can post to an audience of thousands, and both sides want a community that will feel tight-knit. But the reality is that you can't really have all three of those things, not on one site. Something always winds up having to be sacrificed - if a site grows big enough, it'll have to start seeking more funding while also cutting costs which will result in features becoming paywall'd, intrusive ads, creators losing their freedom, and/or outsider support which often results in the platform losing its core identity and alienating its tight-knit community.

If I had to describe what I'm talking about in a "pick one" graphic, it would look something like this:

(*note: this is mostly based on my own observations from using all of these sites at some point or another, they're not necessarily entirely accurate to the statistical performance of each site, I can only glean so much from experience and traffic trackers LMAO that said I did ask some comic pals for input and they were very helpful in helping me adjust it with their own takes <3).

The homogenization of the Internet has really whipped people into submission for the "big sites" that offer "everything", but that's never been the Internet, it relies on being multi-faceted and offering different spaces for different purposes. And we're seeing that ideology falter through the enshittification of sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. where users are at odds with the platforms because the platforms are gutting features in an attempt to satisfy shareholders whom without the platforms would not exist. Like, most of us aren't paying money to use social media sites / comic platform sites, so where else are they gonna make the necessary funds to keep these sites running? Selling ad space and locking features behind paywalls.

And this is especially true for a lot of budding sites that don't have the audience to support them via crowdfunding but also don't have the leverage to ask for investments - so unless they get really REALLY lucky in EITHER of those departments, they're gonna be operating at a loss, and even once they do achieve either of those things there are gonna be issues in the site's longevity, whether it be dying from lack of growing crowdfunding support or dying from shareholder meddling.

So what can we do?

We can learn how to take our independence back. We don't have to stop using these big platforms altogether as they do have things to offer in their own way, particularly their large audience sizes and dipping into other demographics that might not be reachable from certain sites - but we gotta learn that no single site is going to satisfy every wish we have and we have to be willing to learn the skills necessary to running our own spaces again. Pick up HTML/CSS, get to know other people who know HTML/CSS if you can't grasp it (it's me, I can't grasp it LOL), be willing to take a chance on those "smaller sites" and don't write them off entirely as spaces that can be beneficial to you just because they don't have large numbers or because they don't offer rewards programs. And if you have a really polished piece of work in your hands, look into agencies and publishing houses that specialize in indie comics / graphic novels, don't settle for the first Originals contract that gets sent your way.

For the last decade corporations have been convincing us that our worth is tied to the eyes we can bring to them. Instead of serving ourselves, we've begun serving the big guys, insisting that it has to be worth something eventually and that it'll "payoff" simply by the virtue of gambler's fallacy. Ask yourself what site is right for you and your work rather than asking yourself if your work is good enough for them. Most of us are broke trying to make it work on these sites anyways, may as well be broke and fulfilled by posting in places that actually suit us and our work if we can. Don't define your success by what sites like Webtoons are enforcing - that definition only benefits them, not you.

This was captured with the exposure biased a stop darker. It was just an estimate and there was no way to verify the result on the spot as the LCD screen of our copy of the ancient Canon 50D could barely be viewed now.

It happened that the facade of “Monet’s house” was in the shadows and a little darkening in post was good enough to push that discreetly into the backdrop.

I've hesitated to make this post bc I feel like ppl are inevitably going to misinterpret what I have to say as defending AI writing, but there's something abt the conversation abt AI written fanfic that rubs me the wrong way.

(and let me get ahead of the willful misinterpretations now, using AI in its current form to write fanfic is bad. atm AI is trained using works taken without permission or credit so using it is unethical)

but like I've seen a bunch of posts in the vein of like "why would I read something you couldn't be bothered to write?" and similar sentiments. and it's like. fandom is notoriously shitty & unfair to writers. despite fanfic being considered a staple of online fandom, "bad" fanfic is regularly made fun of, writers' depictions of characters are openly mocked & criticized, any fanfic that doesn't depict Popular M/M ship gets almost no engagement. and even Popular M/M fic gets very little active interaction compared to the number of people that read it. Even the most popular fanfics are lucky to break into double digit reblogs on Tumblr.

Y'all brag about reporting authors for linking their damned ko-fi or mentioning a work was commissioned. yes, I'm aware it's against AO3's TOS, but I think it's super fucked that the vast majority of users accept & uphold that policy instead of defending the labor & effort writers put into their work. blah blah blah Anne Rice legal disputes blah blah, they're selling fucking BNHA keychains on Etsy. Times have changed and there's no reason imo that an author who doesn't take commissions shouldn't be able to link a god damned tip jar. It's against AO3's TOS, but they also have no incentive to change it bc y'all think someone getting a tip for a fic they poured weeks of effort into is somehow more of a threat to fandom than all of Redbubble.

like imo it just speaks to a community wide disrespect for the work & expertise that goes into writing fic & a sense of entitlement to author's labor. like people get genuinely pissed off at the idea of fanfic authors making money off their work, even when it's not commissions. I've seen ppl accuse authors that host paid workshops of thinking they're better than everyone else. why is recognizing the value of MY effort & expertise gained from years of work seen as a commentary on my opinion of other creators?

I got off topic. but my point is everyone leaps out of the woodwork to talk abt the sanctity of the creative process when it comes to AI fanfic, but y'all (fandom as a whole) won't defend authors' ability to make money from their work, you won't show your appreciation by commenting or reblogging their fics, and you routinely mock authors & the tropes they use behind their back. instead of respecting new authors who are still learning their craft, you get annoyed that "bad" fic is clogging your feed.

part of me feels like the actual objection to AI fic isn't because people care about authors, it's because people are annoyed that they have to scroll 100 more pixels to find a fic that meets their standards.

[angelpregdreams]

i'm thinking about opening a tip jar, strictly for tips and access to polls, with all of my short stories remaining free

I do this as a hobby and I enjoy my writing, so I'll still write and share my kinky short stories for free. sharing and engaging with my work here is super important and all I really ask for. I've never felt this confident in my work and I love people telling me they enjoy what I am sharing. I've kept my writing hidden most of my life and now while I'm writing erotica, it's genuinely so freeing and wonderful.

I'm figuring out where i want the tip jar to be, but will keep everyone updated as I go about it. if you wish to simply continue enjoying my short stories, then nothing changes! please continue to read and comment with no worries!
