I have to confess: I’m excited to get back into a routine this week after taking time off over the holidays. While I spent a lot of time the past few weeks resting and recovering from being sick, as well as enjoying the Christmas holidays, I also spent time getting clear on what my goals are for this year.
One of those goals is to share more valuable content with you, and I’m excited to kick off with today’s post, and to share an invitation with you at the end to a free training I’m hosting this month! Let’s dive in!
3 Reasons You Need to Make Working with Affiliates a Priority in 2023
Reason #1: It’s a SIMPLE and FAST Way to Grow Your Audience!
When it comes to selling your products or launching your course, what do you need? An audience to sell to! But trying to grow that audience on your own can be super daunting… Reels, IG posts, FB ads, daily pinning, trying to figure out TikTok. It can start to feel like… a lot.
When you work with affiliate partners, it doesn’t have to be that complicated to grow your audience. You provide your affiliate partners with a link to your free or paid offer to promote, as well as the promo materials, and then they do the actual work of promoting you and your business and sending new leads and customers your way. [More on this here.]
Reason #2: It’s Cost-Effective {Especially if You’re Just Getting Started!}
When you work with affiliate partners, you aren’t having to pay them until after they’ve made a sale for you. So, you don’t need a big budget like you would need if you were running paid ads, and this is especially good if you are just getting started with selling your courses or products in the online space.
Here’s an example to show you what I mean:
If you spend $500 on Facebook ads, and your course costs $500, you have to make at least 1 sale to just break even.
But say you offer your affiliates a 20% commission for promoting your $500 course. You only need to make 1 sale in order to make a profit. 1 sales = $400 in profit for you, and $100 paid to your affiliates.
Reason #3: No Live Launching Needed!
When you work with affiliates, you aren’t having to hustle or grind 24/7 putting together stressful launches in order to make sales. In fact, working with affiliates is a great way to make more course sales each month if you don’t want to live launch at all.
I think so many online business owners are just over having to constantly hustle and do launch after launch after launch in order to make consistent income.
What if having just a handful of affiliates promote you each month could change the trajectory of your course and product business?
Think about it… If you have 5 affiliates, who each have an audience of 500, and they each agree to promote your freebie that leads to your sales funnel or promote your digital or physical products in February… That means your work is getting promoted to 2500 new people – and you didn’t have to launch or post on social media to make it happen, because your affiliates did the promoting for you!
Now, imagine if you had 10 affiliates with an audience of 500 each… That’s your work in front of 5000 new people!!
Now, imagine if you had 20 affiliates with an audience of 500 each… I think you see where I’m going here. 🙂
{Side note: If you LOVE launching like I do, working with affiliates is a great way to increase sales during your launch. My own launch had 22% of sales come from affiliates last September!}
But if you don’t love launching, you can still make consistent monthly sales by working with affiliate partners!
I hope after sharing the 3 reasons above that I’ve convinced you that you should work with affiliate partners in 2023 to increase your sales!
