This Little Tactic Doubled My Email Open Rate & Affiliate Commission!

13 replies
Hey Warrior,

*This is Not a new tactic - It has been used by many successful affiliate marketers.

You might heard of this many many times before, and I'd like to post it up as a reminder or probably the newbies can benefit from this

Tactic Revealed >>> "Never Ever Use The 'Ready-To-Go' Affiliate Promo Emails"

If you want to be one of the successful affiliate marketers, never ever use the same pre-written affiliate promos email.

I believe you can write your own promos emails in very short time. You don't need to write from scratch - you may swap the main benefits/features of the products that you promoting.

The most important thing, change the subject line. Yes, you need to write your own subject line. I bet you don't want to have the same subject line with the rest of the 299 affiliates who promoting the same product as you! Your subscribers won't be bother to read your email when the see the same subject line again and again.

Test it your own! If you have anything to add here, just hit the reply button.

-Dennis.

    You're right, but funny thing is that if you don't provide canned emails, some affiliates get upset, even when you tell them they would do better writing their own message.

      Yup. As an affiliate manager, we should provide the pre-written emails. Don't make the JV partners upset. It's their own decision whether they want to use the emails or not.

    Hi Dennis, how's it going?

    Not been on here for a couple of weeks. I was speaking at an event in London with Matt Bacak, Sean Roche, Adam Ginsberg etc. What a blast that was!

    Anyway, your right, it's always best to write your own emails when promoting a product even if you just adapt the emails the product owner supplies and rewrite them.

    If you don't do that you just appear to folks as one of the herd who will copy and paste any promo just to make a quick buck.

      Hey Roy,

      I'm good and great to hear that you speak again! Hehe

      I post this up after I received 10 emails from 5 great marketers (launch email + follow up) who using different headlines to promote the very same product. I clicked each of email! Damn! I got back to the same salespage.

      And also, I tested this same tactic myself last week. It works! Haha

        Good Advise - I'll even take it a bit further.

        If you seriously want to stand out from the crowd as a marketer, you have to spend some working hours in changing and redesigning your emails, your blog, your salespage - basically everything -

        Don't take the easy road (read copy and paste). Instead Spend a little time on the product you are promoting -

        Tell your prospect WHY you like this product so much and why you are promoting it. I get tons of emails from "Super afiiliates" who don't even know what the H... they are promoting - Or I get 25 emails exactly alike!

        On the other hand I also get a few emails from serious hard working affiliates, who has taken the time to review a certain product and they get my order if I am interested in the product.

        In the end making a sale always comes down to making the prospect trust YOU - NOT the PRDODUCT.

        So don't be a copy cat - Be a unique marketer with your own style - it works better and its much more fun

        Cheers

          Yes. That's what I did. I wrote my own salespage to promote certain products (not all).

          Even, I joint venture with other marketers to combine bonuses in order to increase the value of the total bonuses and write a new salespage for the product that we promote.

          Note: For those who're new in Internet Marketing, never think that JV is just for product launch purpose. You can JV with other marketer to promote affiliate products too.

    Hi Dennis,

    This is a very good and often overlooked tip. I cannot believe how many so called super affilaites, who bring home serious comissions, don't do this and increase their income futher...

    I would say this is true during the product launch phase when competing against other affiliates. Most of the big launches require you create a bonus, so warming the list requires that you actually put some thought into the product, and shows you know what you're talking about.

    But if you want to add a message to your autoresponder series for long term profit then stick to copy and paste.

    Good share I also switch up headlines when I send emails plus I get straight to the point without too much hype. They usually get hyped off the bonus pack though.

    I totally agree, but why just edit?

    Why not create a couple of emails that talk about alternative ways to get the result that the main product can get for you? Give the reader something REAL to chew on, before showing them this product which will make it even easier to get the result?

    Why not send an email, write a blog post, or an article which explains HOW it works, in more detail than the sales page?

    Value, value, value. Give them more than just a pitch. Give them something they can use today, and when they get results, they'll come back and buy the product to get bigger/better/quicker results.

    I agree,when I was starting out I was using copy & paste method with very limited success but when I started to write my own emails I saw a significant increase in the open rate.
