Onboard affiliates the right way
|
Hey Reader, You've got some shiny new affiliates who want to promote your stuff. Congratulations! Now what? Do you just send them a link and say "figure it out"? Do you dump them into some automated email sequence and hope for the best? Or do you turn them into affiliate ROCKSTARS who will move heaven and earth to sell your products? CLICK HERE to read "How to Onboard New Affiliates The RIGHT Way (10 Steps That Actually Work)"! Here's what most people get wrong about affiliate onboarding: They think it's about giving affiliates access to stuff. Links, banners, maybe some copy to swipe. Wrong. Great affiliate onboarding is about creating MOMENTUM. It's about making your new partners feel like they're part of something bigger. It's about giving them everything they need to succeed AND the motivation to actually use it. In this article, I break down the exact 10-step system I've used to onboard affiliates for Shutterfly, Adidas, and dozens of other major programs. Including: - The white-glove treatment that makes affiliates feel valued (not just another number) - The #1 tool affiliates need to succeed (most programs get this completely wrong) - How to build relationships that last years, not just one promotion - The quick start guide template that gets people moving fast - Why you should become an affiliate yourself (this changes everything) Stop letting your affiliates sign up and then disappear into the void. Turn them into commission-generating machines who are excited, equipped, and ready to sell. Read the full guide and transform your affiliate onboarding! Best regards, Matt P.S. The difference between "okay" and "amazing" affiliate onboarding? About 10X in affiliate performance. Which do you want? CLICK HERE to get the 10-step system that actually works! |

Hey Reader, I read an article this week about the biggest affiliate marketing trends of 2026. One of them made me laugh out loud. "Turn Your Customers Into Affiliates." Uh... yeah, I've been saying this for 20 years. I've written probably 10 articles about it. Recorded at least a half-dozen podcast episodes. Used it as a core strategy in dozens of multi-million dollar affiliate campaigns. But sure. Trend of 2026. (YAY!) Look, I'm not annoyed. I'm glad more people are talking about it because...
Hey Reader, Got a big promotion coming up? A launch, a holiday promo push, a summer discount event?
