Affiliate Marketing
Why do so many people screw it up?
I’ve sold a lot of stuff on the internet since 2007.
Affiliate products.
One on one coaching.
Information products.
Physical products.
It’s been a while ride.
Watching your copy pull in close to a million dollars for a client who sells fidget spinners and fidget cubes has a profound effect on your belief systems.
Who spends money on a block of plastic that does absolutely nothing anyway?
Every single item or service I sold had one thing in common: email marketing.
It boggles my mind how hard I see people hustle to get clicks on their affiliate links.
They slide into your DM’s on Twitter and Instagram like a door to door salesman who needs to make rent…
(…maybe they do…)
And I’m astonished at how little they understand about sales and marketing…
Or systems.
You can’t scale hustle.
If I click an affiliate link on your blog or Twitter feed you might make a few dollars, but you won’t acquire a customer that you sell to over and over again.
Put your links behind an opt-in form.
Capture my email.
And let email marketing hustle for you.
Load your persuasive arguments and sales pitches into an autoresponder and let it be your sales machine…
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
You can’t scale hustle, but you can scale systems.
