Affiliated: ClickBank‘s Official Affiliate Marketing Podcast

It's not often that you see a story like Alex Miller's. In today's episode, we discuss her rapid success after launching her product, Pelvic Floor Strong, on ClickBank. After being mentored by another highly successful ClickBank seller, she transitioned from her role as a fitness instructor in Vancouver, Canada to an offer owner with a product that blew past expectations in every metric that matters.  Now, she's in ClickBank's highest tier of sellers with more products on the way, all backed by her expertise as a women's health instructor. Are you a media buyer with an audience of women over 40? Alex would love to chat about partnering up.

If you find yourself in a position to build out an affiliate program, you may be wondering how to go about finding the right affiliates for your brand, not just any affiliate. In today's episode, Ryan Coisson outlines a more efficient and easy way to recruit, retain, and train affiliates. He calls it the "reverse pyramid of affiliate acquisition."  Now, what does that even mean? Tune in to learn how, among other things, he initially focuses less on the highest grossing affiliates, and more so on their up-and-coming counterparts. If you'd like to learn more, Coisson prepared a visualization of the process, which can be downloaded at: perfectbiz.com/clickbank Grow Your Own Scalable Affiliate Program TODAY - https://www.clickbank.com/scalable-affiliate-program/?el=podcast Become a ClickBank Media Buyer with Our FREE Course! - https://www.clickbank.com/media-buyer-agency/?el=podcast Current Top Offers on ClickBank - https://www.clickbank.com/blog/clickbank-top-offers/?el=podcast

Well, in this episode, we'll share three tips to help you become more successful on ClickBank, but first you must understand that the phrase, "If you build it, they will come" does NOT always apply to affiliate marketing.

Today we're going to discuss a question we often get: which businesses are the right fit for performance affiliates? Though there are many different types of affiliates, we'll be discussing three key components to gauge whether your business is ready to work with performance affiliates.  Those three components include: The marketing! The copy! The creative! The offer! Do you have a good handle on these already? High enough margins to pay affiliates an industry standard commission.  What do your operational efficiencies look like on the back end? Is your supply chain in order? Do you have the right people hired? The list goes on. Check out a prior podcast we published about how to find, hunt, and recruit top-tier affiliates. In that episode, we also learn some of the pain points performance affiliates have when working with businesses that aren't experienced with affiliate marketing: https://affiliated.podbean.com/e/how-to-find-hunt-and-recruit-affiliates/  Grow Your Own Scalable Affiliate Program TODAY - https://www.clickbank.com/scalable-affiliate-program/?el=podcast Become a ClickBank Media Buyer with Our FREE Course! - https://www.clickbank.com/media-buyer-agency/?el=podcast Current Top Offers on ClickBank - https://www.clickbank.com/blog/clickbank-top-offers/?el=podcast
