I’ve spent a lot of time creating an attractive affiliate program for my products and memberships that really serve my affiliates. I’ve tried to set my affiliate program apart from most of what’s out there. This is about helping you do the same.
Now, it’s time for you to do that for your products. First, think back to the past year (or however long you’ve been creating your own products). If you have an affiliate program at all, how much time and effort have you put into providing affiliates with everything they need? Have you ever actively recruited affiliates? Have you given them materials that can help them easily promote with little effort on their part?
If you’ve put in little to no effort, it probably shows in your sales. If you’ve put a lot of effort in, where are there holes in your efforts? Do some digging so you know exactly what you’d like to do.
Twitter is an exceptional social media platform and it’s fantastic for driving traffic in a lot of ways. While Facebook is a lot more flexible and has a much bigger reach, Twitter’s nothing to sneeze at. It’s a way to express yourself in 140 characters or less. It’s a way to spread the word about what you have to offer, to develop a following, to network with other marketers, and more.
Social media… You know you need it for your business, but the thought of getting started is completely overwhelming. You look at those businesses that have a great, established presence online. Did they build their presence overnight? Or, are they just better, smarter, and faster than you?
So many people are resistant to researching before they write and self-publish because they think it will take a long time. They skirt around it and pray that their idea will take off by pure force of will.
