Why your OWN affiliate link protector?
One more letter...
Situations happen where a major change is needed because
"old" strategies are over used...
....or are they? (read on to find out)
Unfortunately this October and November caused anyone
serious in the "affiliate" industry a lot of grief (us
included).
What use to be fairly easy became a continuous uphill battle
that just seemed to get harder and harder everyday that went
by during those months.
In case you haven't guessed it, I'm referring to the barrage
of product launches that flooded the marketplace.
Here's why they caused a lot of damage...
1) Challenges For the Affiliates
No longer is it feasible to use the "template" emails, tools
and promotions during any kind of launch. If you do, you're
list is most likely going to laugh.
When hundreds of emails are being sent about the same
product during the same 3-4 days it's inevitable that people
on your list are going to see other emails from other
marketers about the same product.
That forces you into a decision...
Do I take the "quick and easy" route by sending out the
"template" email...
....or...
Do I invest the time and energy into crafting a unique
promotion?
Tough call in most cases.
Unfortunately if you want to be successful as a top
affiliate, investing the time and energy is going to be a
must if you want to continue getting the results.
However, there is an answer that combines both "quick and
easy" with "highly effective and profitable" (more about
that in a second).
Now on the flip side, here are the challenges from the
"Affiliate Managers" perspective.
2) Challenges For Affiliate Managers
People are overloaded!
It's not easy getting in the promotion "queue" as it once
was. Top affiliates are bombarded with hundreds of
affiliate offers and some just can't take it anymore.
It's true...
Some top affiliates are shutting the doors completely and
are starting to focus entirely on marketing their own
products (this was evidenced in Mike Filsaime's Death of
Internet Marketing report).
So what does this mean for product owners and affiliate
managers?
It means you have to work a little harder (ouch).
I know that's not what you wanted to hear but it's true.
Now, you've got to be a little more creative in how you
"recruit" top affiliates and get their attention.
Furthermore, you have to start approaching affiliates months
before your actual launch.
Yup, I said months!
Let's be upfront here for one second...
***
Here I'll stop this quotation of the letter and continue with ONE sentence:
Already ALL of free online redirectors - such as tinyurl.com etc. are doing now very slowly and... sometimes incorrectly.
So if you have no software to protect your link yourself you lose many customers!
The decision is simple - to purchase your own tool.
Its easy, cheap and effective:
