The Affiliate Guy with Matt McWilliams: Marketing Tips, Affiliate Management, & More

I recently gave a talk about going the extra mile in affiliate promos. I shared a bunch of ideas that I'm going to share with you, my podcast listeners over the next few months. But one of the problems that came up was that going the extra mile is sometimes not scalable...and that sucks. But in today's episode, I share how you can help more people by doing for ONE what you wish you could do for many.

A received an interesting response to our affiliate marketing survey recently. This person wrote that it was hard "passing myself off as an expert with these affiliate marketing products when, quite truthfully, I am not an expert in anything. Isn't that living a lie?"

Here's what her email said: "I'm new to blogging —— REALLY brand new. I'm having a difficult time feeling pulled in many directions with all the things I SHOULD be doing / growing + life and I freeze. But I am taking steps to gain focus and clarity and to step forward with action. I suppose I'm trying to find my authentic voice and feel vulnerable — like I have one shot at setting up who I am. I know writing "scared" can be a good thing, but then it also is a bad thing for the sales end. Does this make sense?" Yes it does, Lisa. Listen up to this episode for my response.

How do you feel when you see others succeeding in massive ways? Do you feel excited or do you feel insecure? I got an email recently from an affiliate who wrote, "I can't compete with all those guys on the leaderboard. My list is a fraction of the size of theirs. Honestly, I'm struggling with insecurity right now. Help!" If that is you, this episode is for you!

I got an email from an affiliate recently asking about promoting the same product for the third time. Is this wise? Or perhaps there are advantages to doing so? Here's what he wrote me along with my response: I have run the promo the past two years and it has gone well. Just a bit worried that it may be played out to my audience. As well, the people who have opted in previously are already on Michael's list. So, not sure of the effectiveness this year. ==MY RESPONSE== That's a common misconception...very common. And totally wrong. Watch who does well on leaderboards with similar list sizes. It's the guys who are promoting something for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th times. 3 reasons: 1. You know how to promote it 2. You get the ADVANTAGE of those people who've followed Michael for the past year and NOW you recommend something again. I mean talk about WARM leads dude. 3. The workload is less because you can copy a lot from previous years and focus on things like bonuses and FB lives Don't NOT promote and miss out on all the people you sent the last two years. THIS is the year you really capitalize on them. And remember two more things: 1. X% of your list is new. 20%? 50%? Those people don't know about this 2. Even the people who DID get the promo last year don't remember it. Dude, they don't even remember what you sent this LAST MONTH or even last week.

We're wrapping up our series on closing affiliate sales with the 10th and final key. This is the one factor that I can't measure. It's just something I noticed as I reviewed all the emails. That's why I call it the "X Factor." I have no data to share and no tangible takeaway on this one. But what I noticed is that the top converters were more creative in their approach. They seemed to go outside of the box and do things that no one else (even other top converters) were doing.

Can email length really make a difference in your ability to close sales at the end of an affiliate promotion? The research sure says it does. In fact, the top closers' emails were nearly half the length of the non-converters. Your goal on cart close day is to get them to the sales page or your bonuses page. That is it. It's certainly not to write a novel. Remember, short and sweet on cart close day. That is key #9 to closing more affiliate sales.

Today I am sharing a closing secret that takes some serious hustle, but is VERY effective. Call your prospects. Alex Mandossian did this during Josh Turner's launch in the spring of 2016. Literally, one of the living legends of online marketing was picking up the phone and calling prospects to sell them on Josh's course. That is truly legendary.

In this series of how to close more affiliate sales, today's secret was the most surprising to me. But it is also one of the most impactful. When I studied the optins for the top converters vs. the average or below average converters, I found that 13% of the top converters sales came DIRECTLY from links to live events such as webinars and AMAs. Only 5% of the below average converters' sales did. That's secret #6 and the topic of today's podcast.

We're continuing our series on closing affiliate sales with the second key...killer affiliate bonuses. Each of the 11 highest converting affiliates I studied mentioned their bonuses in at least 75% of their open cart emails. Today I share more about great affiliate bonuses and how to create the perfect affiliate bonus package. Use what you have. Create nothing if possible. Fit the offer. Aim for Equal Value or higher. Sell them like crazy.
