How to win affiliate contests and surprise people
Published: Mon, 06/22/15
I don't do a ton of affiliate marketing, as I prefer selling my own
products over others' products. But, when I do bite the bullet and
do the deed, I often (1) blow away the expectations of the
product owner (2) if there's a competition of some kind, I usually
win — even against marketers with bigger lists, more popular
brands, and whose lists are more suited to the product being sold
than mine is.
Example:
Ryan Levesque's survey funnel product.
Maybe something has changed in the past year in this regard, but
when I mailed for his product (not even unleashing the full might
of my home-grown affiliate marketing model, which I don't know of
anyone else who does it the same way) I beat all his other
affiliates without even breaking a sweat.
This is including some pretty hardcore marketing minds.
And, people whose lists are all about funnels.
(While mine is about email.)
Another example:
A few months ago I sold Brian Kurtz's "Titans Of Direct Response"
DVD's as an affiliate. Last I heard (and something may have changed
with this), I was beating everyone else with conversions. Including
powerhouse marketing companies I would have thought'd kill me at
this by sheer numbers alone.
What?
You're thinking, "Good job Ben, but why should I care?"
Probably you shouldn't.
Especially if you're happy as a clam with your results now.
Otherwise:
In the August "Email Players" issue I walk you through some
"upgrades" I made to my affiliate marketing strategy as a result of
selling Titans DVD's and competing against the best-of-the-best
marketers on the planet, as well as some things I'll be doing
differently in the future.
Affiliate marketer can make out like bandits with this info.
Non-affiliate marketers?
It all still applies to sending emails selling your own stuff.
Either way, you win.
But, it goes to the printer later this week.
