Affiliates: Here’s How to Earn Big with How to Start a Blog that Matters

Welcome! I’m so happy you’re thinking about promoting How to Start a Blog that Matters.

We want to make this as exciting and easy as possible for you to tell your audience about.

Here are four great reasons to put some real effort behind your promotion:

  1. You’ll earn 75% commissions on every sale.
  2. This course is an easy sell. Our top affiliates convert at nearly 7% and our top 10 convert an average of 3.6% of hops to buyers. That means roughly 1 sale for every 14-28 people you refer.
  3. We want to help you make your campaigns an incredible success. We’re available for interviews, webinars, podcasts and promotion strategy sessions. Seriously. Just email us at support@thinktraffic.net and I’ll help you create a plan that will work for your audience.
  4. Finally, this is the kind of product your audience will thank YOU for referring them to. Our refund rate is below 3% and we receive nothing but fantastic feedback about the value delivered in this course.

This is a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.

How to Start Earning Commmissions

We’re selling through ClickBank. All you need is a free account with ClickBank.

Once you have an account, simply log in to ClickBank and get your ClickBank ID to make your affiliate hop link. Your affiliate link should look like the following:

http://AFFILIATE-ID.corbonya.hop.clickbank.net

Just replace “AFFILIATE-ID” in the link above with your ClickBank ID.

What Works and What Doesn’t Work

I’m going to show you the exact campaign our top affiliate used to sell 81 copies of this course from a single blog post in just over two weeks. This was from a modestly sized but passionate audience.

Here’s THE offer that’s working right now. Scott Dinsmore over at Live Your Legend wrote a blog post that is still dominating the affiliate sales right now. Read Scott’s post here and see how he masterfully crafted it.

In-depth blog posts can obviously work well.

The key is to 1) tell your story about how blogging changed your life and your business, 2) to talk about what’s special about this course or me specifically and 3) to offer some kind of bonus for people who sign up through your link.

There’s something that works even better than blog posts though.

I would love to host a webinar for your audience. We do everything. We set up the session, give the presentation, set up the links so you get credited for sales and more.

All you have to do is email your audience and announce the webinar. Get as many people to show up as you can.

In the most recent webinar we did, 25% of everyone on the call purchased the course. At 75% commissions, that translates to $16.64 for every single person you can get to show up on the call.

We would love to host a webinar for your audience or talk with you about other effective ways to promote this course. Just email us at support@thinktraffic.net and we’ll set something up right away.

If you’d like to place a banner on your site, here are some standard sizes below. If you need any other sizes, just write us and we’ll create whatever you need.

250 x 250 banner (right-click and choose “save image as…”)

125 x 125 banner

300 x 200 banner

598 x 130 banner

Banners are best used in conjunction with a special promo, webinar, interview, podcast or killer blog post.

What doesn’t work typically to promote this course are banner ads alone, or uninspired mentions in blog posts without your personal story about blogging, an endorsement of me personally, or a special bonus thrown in.

Need anything else? Just email us. We’re happy to help with whatever you need to make this promotion a big success. Thanks for working with us!

P.S. I would love to work with you one-on-one to develop content that will wow your audience.

Let’s do an interview, podcast, webinar or whatever will work best for your people. Just email us at support@thinktraffic.net and I’ll help you create a plan that will work.

Remember, you’ll earn a full 75% commission for every copy of this course you sell.

Cheers!
