Honesty To Friends And Family Turns Emails Into Affiliate Cash
Getting clicks from your affiliate links doesn’t have to left to the whim of Internet surfing customers. Successful affiliate links can be used openly and by “openly” I mean that you can actually inform select individuals that you will earn money if they buy something when using your link to land at the sellers website.
This can be performed through emails to people you know well – not by spamming.
I know, it’s a thought that seems unheard of in this day and age when so many veteran webmasters try to trick people to click on an ad or text link with false promises of instant money .
Honesty… It doesn’t seem like the way to compete against those who make money not using it, but it is successful if used and the right audience is targeted. This is especially useful for those new webmasters who want a early jump start in earning money.
Let’s say your child is getting married, or you are having a family graduation, or you are simply so popular that you have to make folders in your email program to separate Best Friends, Really Good Friends, Wannabe My Friend, etc. You are one of those people that have a really giant list.
To make the most of your affiliate links, pick the best 3 – 5 of those companies you are affiliated with that most friends would find useful (Department Stores, Health, etc). In your letter tell your recipients that if they use your affiliate links they will be taken to a website and you will earn a small amount of money if they buy anything . You may even be doing them a service by introducing them to the world of affiliate marketing and how to become an affiliate on the internet when they ask you questions about how you will make cash – and they will.
As part of your request , tell them what you are going to use the money for. “Help offset wedding costs,” “Buy some great food for the reunion,” “College fund for the kids.”
You get the idea . Give them complete disclosure.
You will be surprised at the amount of people who will click the link and actually make a purchase of an item they were putting off. If you’re lucky, those long lasting cookies may repeat themselves if your people make another visit to that store again before your cookie expires from your affiliate links.
Let your circle know you would like to track where any sales come from so you would appreciate it if they tell you if they bought something using a link you attached. This will allow you to follow up with a thank you email (always say, “Thank you”!).
Doing this allows you to know who really wants to help you succeed. Family is often a “given,” but if you have really close friends who participate this will allow you to create a bigger list of affiliate companies in another letter. Simply tell them this list is for their reference to use should they be looking to obtain anything in the future off the Internet. Ask them to place it in their “saved” emails folder and you would appreciate them passing it along to any of their friends who they know is looking for the type of item from a company you are affiliated with.
Once completed you now have a small army of people within your circle buying from and promoting your links that will generate revenue for years to come – and all done honestly. Don’t forget to tag your links with an identifier, such as “email” so that you know how your friends and family campaign is performing.
