Title:How to Seal the Deal


Hello,

Hi there,

Over the last few days we’ve talked about
how you begin to find affiliates and joint
venture partners in your niche.  

Today, we’ll take a closer look at how you
can seal the deal and increase the number
of affiliates you’re able to recruit into
your program.

So, you have a list of possible affiliates
and influencers. You’re ready to make contact
and convince them to promote your product.

Here are a 3 ways to improve the chances
they’ll eagerly join your program:  Offer Free Products & Review Copies
It’s important that you give all qualified
affiliates a free copy of your product so
they can evaluate it on their own.  

You’re asking them to risk their reputation
by promoting your product and so you
absolutely need to minimize their risks by
allowing them to throughly review and use
your product before they attach their name
to it.

This is especially valuable for affiliate
bloggers who could use the product to create
a detailed review for their readers. 

As a result, this could not only help them
sell more, but you might end up with a
powerful testimonial from these affiliates! 

Tip: Keep track of who you give review copies
to.

I suggest creating a spreadsheet and writing
down their name and email address. 

In addition, if you are launching a membership
site and are giving access, you’ll want to
set each affiliate up with their own
username/password rather than giving one
login to everyone. 

That way in the event you need to restrict
access, it only affects the one person, not
everyone you’ve given the information to.

Increase Cookie Lifespan
If you want to attract top affiliates in
your market, consider increasing the cookie
lifespan so that affiliates are credited
for future sales made by those they refer
to your website. 

Most affiliates prefer a longer cookie
lifespan because a customer they’ve referred
may click but not purchase anything for weeks
or even months later. By increasing the cookie
lifespan, you’re rewarding them for their
referral long after the launch.

Offer to Cross Promote
This should only be offered to your top
affiliates who have proven they can get
results. 

You also want to make sure that you don’t
promise to return the favour of promoting
their own website or products unless you’re
sure of their quality and that their offers
are a good fit for your audience. 

Still, offering to reciprocate is a great way
to motivate super affiliates to give you their
best promotional efforts.

Those are just 3 easy ways to improve your
chances of sealing the deal when approaching
affiliates. How many others ways can you think
of?
