Disclose it does that make any sense so Yeah you can promote on social media for A while and had my Twitter feed all Running through and I was promoting at Least two affiliate links a day and you Can easily do that right and simple you Can also promote your affiliate links Through it your email list so let's say You wanted to recommend a product that Was like hey guys a few months ago I Discovered this product it has been Amazing for me I absolutely recommend it To you guys and you include the link and Say here here's a free trial or Something you also need to disclose that It is an affiliate link again so either At the beginning of the email or at the End of the email but that is a great way A really really great way to actually Make affiliate sales because people read Your emails obviously they're going to Take you seriously and it's a direct Thing that you are recommending only to Them it's a little bit more personal Than it is on your social media or a Blog post and people are more likely to Click it if you include it in your email So try sending some of your affiliate Links to your email list but before you Do that I have heard that some email Platforms do not allow you to send Affiliate links and people have actually Gotten kicked out of platforms because That they were sending affiliate links
In their emails so make sure you check Your terms and conditions and your rules And everything within your email Platform before you use that strategy And if you are using an email platform That does not allow you to send Affiliate links I highly recommend that You hop right off there and get on a Different platform the last type I want To recommend you guys is to actually Work with the companies that you aren't Affiliate up so I am a family I think About seven different companies and two Of those companies I have a really Really good relationship with and when I Say a really good relationship I mean That they have actually paid to promote My blog post multiple blog post or they Have improved my commission based on the Work that I was already doing for them Or the content on my website and the Recommendations I had already got they Improved my Commission so it's really Important to work with companies if you Want to make more money if you feel Stuck like you're only making 50 cents a Sale which is not very good and you feel Stuck start working with a company start Building a relationship and see what They can do for you so maybe you write That blog post I was talking about That's a truly informative it's a how-to Guide or a beginner's guide and You think it's a really really great
Blog post that maybe they could promote On their website or their social media Send it to them when you sign up to Become an affiliate you should have an Affiliate manager and I know that I have An affiliate manager for all of my Programs that I am an affiliate of so When you have that affiliate manager all Used to do is where you talk to them and Say hey I wrote this really amazing blog Post I was wondering if you guys could Look it over and maybe share it on your Social media not even pay to promote it But they might end up paying to promote It because they want people to sign up For their product they want people to Use your link because they are getting More sales themselves so start working Closely with companies I'm telling you It will pay off in the end and when Companies reach out to you and say hey If you've written anything about us like We would love to share it make sure you Always respond to those I've gotten a Couple of those emails and I always say Yep here are three blog post where I Included my affiliate link and I promote You guys and it is done very very well For me so if you want to improve your Sales that is a great tip now an extra Little bonus tip I want to throw in There is to make your blog posts Extremely accessible the blog posts that Have your affiliate links in them and
