Applying the K. I. S. S. Principle to Affiliate Marketing

Hello! We’ve come to the end of another week!

I don’t know about you, but mine was a doozy!

I’ve been learning so much in creating my Facebook Lead Ad and not what you might suspect. I’ve been learning how to write an excellent automated welcome email sequence.

I look forward to sharing an outline of what to put in a welcome email sequence (day by day) soon.

But for today, I want to share how to keep affiliate marketing simple. You know the K. I. S. S. principle? Keep it simple, Sweetie?

Using the four core areas to formulate your business strategy, you can keep affiliate marketing simple.

Remember what they are? Traffic, Capturing Emails, Follow-up, and Making Offers.

What Are The Four Core Areas?

• Traffic – Gathering a group of people, an audience, who will ultimately see your offers
• Capturing Emails – Getting the emails of your audience
• Follow-Up – Writing value-filled emails to your audience
• Making Offers – Recommending products for purchase

How Do I Implement Them?

• Traffic – I use Quora and will soon use Facebook Lead Ads to direct traffic to my blog, where my audience can get to know me.
• Capturing Emails – You can sign up as an accountability partner on my blog. I offer another lead magnet on Quora and the side of my blog. I’ll soon get more emails through Facebook Lead Ads.
• Follow-Up – I write emails to my audience when I publish my blog. I need to work up to doing this daily. Most of my efforts are currently going into my Facebook Lead Ads course. Once the ad runs, I’ll write value-filled emails sharing my experiences and what I’m learning daily.
• Making Offers – Currently, I make offers passively through my lead magnets and The Iceberg Effect banner. Soon, I’ll be making offers through email as well.

What Might It Look Like For You?

• Traffic – There are so many ways to get traffic: social media platforms, forums, paid ads such as Google and Facebook, etc. If you’d like help choosing the best platform, sign up for my emails and let me know. I’ll be glad to help!
• Capturing Emails – You can easily do this by giving away a lead magnet. You can make one for free pretty quickly on Canva. Search Lead Magnet or Lead Magnet Ebook.
• Follow-Up – Follow up with your audience even when you only have one subscriber. Remember, your subscribers don’t know they are few in the beginning. They’ve signed up for your help and advice. Please don’t be shy about helping them! I’ve been guilty of this; it is something I will remedy. You can, too!
• Making Offers – I’ll be sharing what I’m learning about making offers through email soon. One tip I’ve learned is to send a value-packed email with a PS making an offer at the end. Your audience won’t always be ready to purchase, but you should always make an offer.
