Why Email is Better Than Twitter for Affiliate Marketing

Twitter SUCKS!

That was the subject line of yesterday’s email.

And it was enough to give me a decent open rate.

In fact, that’s just one of the reasons why email is so much better than Twitter when it comes to affiliate marketing.

But I don’t want to get sidetracked…

When I launched “The Persuasion Code” I recruited a few affiliates who had been asking me to release a copywriting course.

(FYI – it’s gonna be soooo much more than that)

Combined they had over 50K FOLLOWERS receiving their promotional tweets.

Meanwhile, I had a measly 97 subscribers on my email list.

You would think that Twitter would have CRUSHED it with WAAAAAYYYY more sales than email right?

WRONG!

Email had exactly 2 more link clicks to the sales page than Twitter

(that’s basically equal traffic with no statistical significance)

And it converted those visitors TWICE as well!

Think about that for a second…

For every 100 link clicks in email you stand to make 5 or 6 sales…
