HOw to make more money per person
Let me entertain your imagination for a while.
You are doing the right thing by building your list first. You are quietly sending out weekly emails, with encouraging news and small offers of sales which are taken up by some but not others. Your list grows every week, and progress is being made.
You even have few people who are also recruiting.
This is all good.
Your current affiliate program sells nice products, has good training and has good customer service, but you are finding that the tools required are not enough. You need tools like autoresponders, ad trackers, hosting and lead capture pages. But your program is a specialist beef jerky seller, not a marketing tools provider. So you start looking for online marketing tools.
You do due diligence and find good companies that offer the tools you want, and you even find companies that have affiliate programs attached. So you join them and start promoting them to your list.
This is where I would like you to stop and consider this strategy for promoting multiple programs that may very well turn your marketing upside down.
But first, why change what is working?
You have a good set up, you are selling your product, but to me, beef jerky is an end game, not the way forward.
Consider this.
Not everyone wants beef jerky, so your market is fairly restricted. Even if you have a great passion for beef jerky. But consider this; every person who buys the beef jerky from your affiliate program who wants to market the program will also needs online marketing tools.
So promoting the tools to your beef jerky team is a great idea, but why promote to the restricted market first?
The solution is to promote your list in a manner that recruits people who need the online tools you are selling.
This market is truly huge.
You build the affiliate program up. In fact, done properly, you can fill an affiliate program with an autoresponder, another for hosting, and so on. If you earn $1 per month per person, you stand to earn $3 each person.
In the end, you end up recruiting once and selling multiple items, plus, you get to promote beef jerky to people who are making money from working with you, and lets face it, beef jerky is much nicer when it earns you money.
