Okay , so it's it .
Ethel , talk about how to recruit affiliates .
And the reason I wanted to talk about this is the question came up in a group that we run about how you had a way .
Give my products out to people .
If I just , you know , newly created by product .
No one knows who I am .
There's always a stage .
Everyone has this weird .
No one knows who you are .
You've created first product , and you have to try and find people that might be interested in promoting a product .
So what do you do in that scenario ? So when I first started , one of the most scary things for me was actually reaching out to people .
I'm not someone who naturally is very good at connecting .
I don't particularly enjoy initiating conversations with rain and people , and I found it kind of difficult to do there , and I noticed that affiliates are obviously a key part of your online business .
They're not crucial .
They're not a central .
But in some places , such as Davy's Uclick Bank , it really does help if you've got affiliates backing you because you can do like a really a big launch if you know , you get a lot of affiliate Thio willing to promote and push your products .
So one of the things that I did to start off with is a festival started to connect with people and actually did .
That's reforms I did .
There was social media and always actually reaching out to them .
But I was just kind of building up a collective of different people that I wanted to approach eventually .
And these are people that I would connected on Facebook .
I would identify whether there were , you know , no one affiliates , whether they were promoting other products , whether they were on leaderboards , you know , whether I could identify that they had a subscriber list that was kind of interested in the stuff that I was pushing so I wouldn't get , like , basically connected with a bunch of them .
And then from there , I started applying for links when they brought out their own products .
If they had their own products out , apply for links and you know it from the air , be able to reach out to them and ask them for more information .
I would think ready ? You should video or something I could post on the Internet just to , you know , show them that I was putting some work into the product .
And sometimes you know , it's not really what you want when it comes to dealing with other people on the Internet and making money and doing business with them .
It's really what they want and how you can help them to get to where it is that they want to go and foreign affiliate , who's looking at your product ? They are not only just looking at a product , that they're looking at you and whether they can do business with you in future and whether you're the type of person that they want that they feel like they can continue to work with .
It's a big deal on a community based sweep site like Davies , who , for example , I operate ah , lot of the moment .
So obviously been running Jamie's Academy .
So you know , one of the things that they want to know is that you're someone they can work within reaching out and actually going in a hidden creating a review video or purchased me a product and reaching out to them and saying , Hey , I really like your product .
I like this a matter ends , I'm gonna promote it .
I don't have a big lesson .
I'm just starting out .
But I want to promote it anyway .
And , you know , through doing that , you can initiate a conversation with that person , and then you kind of get to know them in the key to affiliate .
Marketing and meeting affiliates is really connecting with them .
It's dealing with them as people and not just , you know , doing what a lot of people do in slipping into the mistake .
I get messages almost every day from people that have a launch coming up .
I don't know who they are , and somehow they find who I am .
They'll , you know , ed me on Facebook .
I won't necessarily approve them , but I'll get a message from them and it will be , You know , if I look through my messages , the ones that aren't open , there's probably a bunch of different messages there right now .
There are people who open up talking to me with just a copy paste message that they've seen to everyone else .
And it's like , Come on , you can do better the net , like , really , you think that I'm going to promote your product because you copied and pasted something when I have personal relationships with all of these people that I know have proven software that I know a really good at what they do , I know provide value to the customers .
You know what's special about what you're doing .
Try to reach out to me and communicate that .
We'll try to reach out to me and help me up so you can then demonstrate their to me .
And it's a far better way of approaching me than copying paste in these things .
And other .
Another approach that seems to be happening a lot now is just spam taking on Facebook and Facebook's cracking down on it .
You can't do that so much anymore because Facebook or ban you .
I've seen a couple of people even in the people that I operate with , who were just basically tagging like 40 different people to promote their product , and there's no need to do that .
It's it's desperate .
I mean , in the past , it was kind of okay when it was brand new , but that nowadays it's like people have really turned off that , so there's really no need , you know , build relationships with their affiliates , you know ? And then from there you can approach them , let them know and just be organized .
One of the reasons I'm assuming that people are actually taking your mess Spam taking people is that they're not prepared , you know , organized with the , you know , the launch .
So they just like doing a mess of spam tag .
And then from there , what's happening is that , you know , people don't really know what t make of it , so they don't end up promoting and they just see this notification coming .
They're like , Why am I getting all these notifications ? Eso There's some thoughts that you can kind of work with , And if you're starting out your brain , you understand that people are people , you know .
One of the things that you need to remember is that everyone starts in the same place , and people that you're connecting with will have starred in the same places you so give their mind and treat people as people connect with them .
And you have family much more succeeds and actually getting to promote your products
