Affiliate mistakes that can actually get you in trouble
|
Hey Reader, Some affiliate program mistakes cost you commissions. Others cost you sleep. This week's episode is about the second kind. Click here to listen to "How to Avoid the Biggest Affiliate Program Mistakes (Part 2)" now! (or read the transcript if that's more your speed) Over the years I've made enough mistakes running affiliate programs to fill a small handbook. Most of them were fixable. A few of them weren't the kind you forget, because they came with real consequences, including one that put me face to face with FTC compliance in a way I'd rather not repeat. In this episode I walk through EXACTLY what went wrong, what I should've done instead, and how you can keep growing your program aggressively without stepping on the landmines I stepped on. If you're running an affiliate program, or planning to launch one, this is the episode to not skip. Listen to Part 2 of the Killer Mistakes series here! Best regards, Matt P.S. The FTC stuff alone is worth the 20 minutes. Protect your program before you need to. |

His idea of teaching was telling us which chapter to read. Years later, an affiliate program sent me swipe copy for a...
Hey Reader, One of our clients ran a $5 million affiliate launch. Let that sink for a sec... Five. Million. Dollars. And the crazy part? He estimates 40% of that, about $2 million, came from one thing... Me coaching his affiliates. I coached his affiliates on what to say, what to send, how to position the offer, and how to avoid the small mistakes that kill conversions. In this week's episode of the 6 C's of Elite Affiliate Programs, we're on the third C: Coach. CLICK HERE to listen to "The 6...
Hey Reader, Most affiliate programs have a communication problem. Affiliates get too many emails and not enough of what they need to promote.
