1) Send people to more than just products

Remember you get credited with sales that occur withing 6 months of sending people to our site. So, even if people don't buy something right away, they may buy something later.

So, as well as sending people to products on our site, you could also encourage them to:

1. Sign-up for our weekly newsletter and get 5 free tools! NOTE: once a month we send a "deals of the month" email.
2. Grab one of our many Free Coaching Tools.

2) Send emails to your list

• Sending emails is by far the best way to make money as an affiliate.
• The easiest way to get people to our site is probably to send people to our Free Resources (this way you're providing your list with a great resource).
• Our most successful affiliates send emails to their list with a couple of personalised sentences promoting our products.
• Think topically and seasonally eg. sending an email in the new year mentioning our goal-setting toolkit or sending them to our THINK Kindness Infographic during International Kindness Week.
• People love to hear about new stuff - share our new/latest articles and products with your readers.
• Another great strategy is to search our site for something you think your readers will genuinely be interested in. This could be a product, but it could also be an article or popular infographic.
• Promote the Annual Fireworks Sale (around 1st July annually) – which is 35% discount off everything - sitewide. Most affiliates get sales from this event.
• Finally, if you'd like to do a specific promotion to tie in with an email you're sending to your list, we can always discuss setting up a specific one-time coupon just for your list.

3) On your Website

• If you're not already, consider linking people to the Free Resources Pages from your website. People LOVE Free Stuff. Put the links/images somewhere obvious.
• You can also link direct to specific Free Resources like our extremely popular Wheel of Life: https://www.thecoachingtoolscompany.com/products/wheel-of-life-coaching-tool/
• Encourage people to sign up for our newsletter – send them to the newsletter sign-up page to get one free tool a month, starting with the "549 Powerful Coaching Questions" Ebook! https://www.thecoachingtoolscompany.com/launchpad-newsletter-sign-up/
• ***Remember to add your unique affiliate id to the end of the link!***

4) Social Media

• People love a deal, so if you promote a freebie or the deal of the month this can work really well.
• The issue with social media is that it's so transient. Your posts often don't reach very far – especially on Facebook where even 500 Page Likes can mean that only a few tens of people see your posts at any one time. Also, engagement is often low because there are so many competing posts.
• Linkedin and Twitter can be great Social Media channels for promoting to coaches and coach-like business owners - as they are both great for "business to business" communications.
• When coaches are on Facebook, they may be more in the zone of finding clients than buying products. Pinterest can work well too.

Summary/Final Recommendations

• When promoting, be sure to have a call to action: Click now, check it out here, learn more, visit now, see here etc.
• For the biggest impact, focus on sending emails to your audience (rather than social media).
• If you are working from social media, know that posts are transient and people are easily distracted. You will need to promote more frequently to get people's attention, and be very clear and succinct with your words.
• Learn what your readers/fans/followers like/are interested in - know their goals, dreams and their obstacles/issues. Then send them to resources or articles on our site that genuinely help them.
• Sign-up for our newsletter here (if you haven't already). This way you'll be up to the minute with what freebies are being featured, what's new, what's on special and perhaps spot articles and graphics your audience might like!
• If you are going to promote paid product directly, to make it worthwhile, promote higher/better value items like one of our Toolkits (from $47 to $59), our Coaching Tools Megapack ($295 and the best value on the site), our Small Business Coaching Toolkit ($197) and our popular Renew You, Love Your Life Coaching Program ($197).
• We usually have 2-3 monthly deals - and they are also good to promote.
• Finally, keep an eye out for our approximately quarterly affiliate emails with information about product launches/sales etc and to get ideas of what to promote.

A lot of marketing is simply a numbers game ie. only a percentage of people will buy a product. This means that the more qualified (ie. interested/relevant) people you send to our website, the more likely you are to get a sale.

• Typical e-product clickthrough-to-buy rates range from  1-3%.
• Average ecommerce rates are usually closer to 1%.
• Our top 3 affiliates have clickthrough-to-buy rates that range from 1.33-2.65% .
• What makes an affiliate successful is often simply down to the volume of traffic that affiliate sends to the website.

These are your affiliate images and they can be used on your website, in emails and on social media!
