More specific marketing tips to come in the future. For now, we can at least recommend the top ways to use your affiliate link…
1)?Send out a bulk e-mail. ?If you have a direct marketing list, you can send out a notification to the people on that list containing your affiliate link. It works best if you are specific and talk about what’the user should?buy and why they will benefit from it – or how you benefited from it.
2) Insert the link in a blog post.?One great way to?get sales and raise awareness about 180DegreeHealth is to insert?one of your affiliate links?into a blog post using your affiliate-specific links?as hyperlinks to certain phrases. An example would be…
“I read this booked called?DIET RECOVERY and it helped me raise my body temperature by 2 entire degrees and I got my sex drive back!”
Or…
“What I would really recommend doing is actually working with Matt one-on-one after reading a couple of his eBooks. You can find all of that together at the 180DegreeHealth Store.”
Example 1 is linking to a product-specific hoplink. Example 2 is?linking to a non-specific page, which sends users to the store instead of the specific sales page for?a particular?product. To do this you will need to custom-build your affiliate link following the direction in the FAQ page.
Another great option is to follow the guidelines in our FAQ? to amend your common hoplink to link to any 180 blog post?while still generating your affiliate cookie and earning credit for any resulting sales.
