The Art of Prospecting
Success in affiliate marketing comes from great partners. So, with all due respect to my sales professional friendZ, the art of your deal might be in the closing, but the art of mine is all about the upfront and prospecting.
If your partners suck, so will your affiliate program. It’s that simple.
So, how do you make it not suck? In the words of the amazing Elyse Myers, great question, I would love to tell you.
In today’s paid content, I’ve got 900 more words all about prospecting, including:
Improving your prospecting game on affiliate platforms
Choosing certain platforms in certain scenarios
What to expect from the Rakutens and ShareASales of the world
How influencer prospecting is different
Why I keep influencer separate from big platforms
How to do influencer prospecting at every budget
And more!
If you’re not yet a paid reader, this is where our journey ends today. But it doesn’t have to! Today’s Substack is a good one! You can support Zlata Thoughts and all my hard work for just a couple dollars a month (literally - that’s it!), and you’ll get access to all the good stuff behind the curtain.
