Newsletter with affiliate link questions. Please help

4 replies
Hi warriors,

Just a quick question,

1. is it better to include affiliate link in every newsletter?

Example

Newsletter with content they are interested or useful. Then add Affiliate link at the bottom of the newsletter for every newsletter sent

Or

2. One newsletter focus promote affiliate link after every 2 to 3 newsletter with just useful information or they are interested.

Which one you is better and convert better?

I'm planning to start a quick test for the conversion. Need some opinion first.

    Different things work well for different people, depending mostly on their traffic demographics and subscriber expectations.

    For myself, I put an affiliate link in one email in three (sometimes one in two), and if I do more than that, I make fewer sales and my open-rates decline a little bit, so "every one" would be too much for me. I've tested a lot. That doesn't make my results necessarily right for your business, though! Mostly, it depends what they expect, and what they expect is up to you. The more openly you tell them what to expect at the start, the more you can control their expectations.

    Here's a thread that will help you, I think: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6123982

    I prefer the one that is left in the quote: being #1.

    Conversions will always differ.

    If you presell a bunch of emails, then send out an offer...

    You'll probably have better conversions.

    However, compare doing that to #1 where you get more clicks...

    It's simply something you'll have to 'dig in deep' to discover yourself

    I would prefer a newsletter to not promote anything.

    I promote my blog articles in my email list where the blog does the work selling.
    Keeps my readers relationship high.
