If you liked this video, give me a thumbs up at the end. I would really appreciate it. And certainly, give me a comment. Have you been working on these affiliate networks? Have you had some successes with them? So I'd like to hear, maybe you got some questions about that, put that in the comment section below. Okay, so here's the picture. You decided you wanted to be an affiliate. Very cool, right? Cool. Say I'm an affiliate marketer. You applied to some of these affiliate networks and crickets. Nothing happened, nothing. And then all of a sudden, you get a reply and the reply says, you're rejected. We did not accept you to our affiliate network. Now, it could be that they want experienced affiliates, but that's kind of like a catch 22, right? You get out of school and you go to apply for a job and they say, we only want people with experience. Well, how are you supposed to get experience until you get the job? It's like a catch 22. Now, I got to tell you, affiliate networks in the beginning, they were a little bit edgy, but they've really cleaned themselves up. And by cleaning themselves up, what I mean is they monitor things more. They're more selective about who they allow to sell on the platform and who they allow as far as affiliates on the platform. Okay, so first let's talk about why you wouldn't get accepted on an affiliate network platform. Well, it could be just because of risk. Risk is a serious thing. There's a lot of fraud out there. There's a lot of scammers out there. I know a lot of people, we deal on Clickbank and we've gotten a lot of affiliates who would actually steal credit cards. They would go in and they would buy one of our products on Clickbank. They would get their commission off it with a stolen credit card. And then later on, we would get charged back because the person would see it on their bill and say, I never bought this product. And by the time that happens, they've left that account and moved on to another account on another platform. So nowadays, these platforms are getting more and more strict. I know anytime I see that somebody has bought one of our courses and they've opted out of all email communications, it's a red flag. It's a red flag because why would they do that, okay? The only reason they would do that is because that person stole a credit card and they're making up a fake email address that doesn't even exist. Now, the other thing they're looking out for now is over-aggressive affiliates. So maybe you have a weight loss program and maybe it helps you lose weight every month over the next year. A edgy affiliate out there, an aggressive one, could go out there and say, yeah, you're gonna lose 20 pounds this week guaranteed. And they put that on your sales pages and you can't back that stuff up. And that's over-aggressive. And if somebody's over-aggressive like that, they're gonna end up getting you in trouble, not them. So let's take a second and let's see what you can do to increase your odds of getting approved on one of these affiliate networks. Now, we're gonna assume that you're a reputable person, that you only do white hat SEO and that you're not gonna do anything wrong. And while that may be true, the actual affiliates that have the product are, they don't know you, okay? They don't know who you are, they don't know what you're about. So we've gotta kinda convey that to them. First off, take the application seriously. When you're applying to an affiliate network, don't just put some random answers on there. If they say, you know, how did you hear about us, don't say Google, you know. What you wanna do is you wanna say, you know, I first heard about you on YouTube, I watched some of your videos. I know you have a great weight loss product. I've seen some of your ads on Facebook. I've actually bought one of your products and it worked really well and I'd like to be an affiliate. Okay, that would be a proper answer. Number two, be specific with your answers. Now, many affiliate networks will ask you where are you gonna promote this? And if you just put, you know, pay-per-click or if you just put Google and whatever else social media I can find, they're not gonna like that a whole lot. You need to be more specific. You could say something like, you know, I concentrate on lead generation for the survival industry. My budget is $30,000 a month on ads or whatever your budget is. You don't have to say how much your budget is. But just say, you know, I run ads every single week on Facebook and YouTube and I've got a big list built up and I also want to mark it to the list I already have. That would be a more acceptable answer. Number three, you want to convey your strengths. What are your strengths? You know, if you're selling, let's say you went to sell our survival food, you could say I've been in the survival industry for, you know, five years. I have a survival blog. I have 30,000 people a month that come to my survival blog. I also sell products for this brand, this brand and this brand and I wanted to add yours to our book of business. That's a more acceptable way to answer that question. Number four, use references. If you already are an affiliate and you're already successful at doing this, list those people that you're already selling for. Share with them the successes you've had, the amount of volume you've done and even offer names and phone numbers and emails so that these people could get in touch with your current references. Number five, go a little bit further. Call them, call them up and say, hey, I just applied, you know, to be an affiliate for your product or an affiliate for a network and I wanted to let you know a little bit about me and see if you had any questions you wanted to ask me because I'm really excited about promoting your products. That way you've already had that personal contact with them. Number six, use a stepping stone. So if you're trying to get on one of the largest affiliate networks on the internet, that may be a little bit difficult but if you start with a smaller affiliate network where maybe they don't require that you sell $5,000 a month or $10,000 a month, maybe the requirements only, you know, a couple hundred dollars a week, start there and build up your book of business and you'll also have some proof that you're gonna actually sell products. Now let's look at this. You are the affiliate marketer but there's also the other side which is the person with the product. Understand their situations, you know, look at their pain points, list some of the things that they may have come up against. You know, I know one of our big pain points is that people use scammy credit cards and they've stolen credit card numbers and all that. So if somebody were to write to me and say, hey, we've been around for a long time, we have a really good reputation, this is our website, you know, this is why we wanna be an affiliate for your company, I'm gonna be more apt to wanna have that person as an affiliate than somebody I don't even know. So the important thing is understand where everybody's coming from. That affiliate network wants to protect their base of sellers, okay, their base of products and the only way they're gonna do that is they're gonna be more selective about who they let in. You, as an affiliate marketer, wanna sell good products, okay? It goes your way, too. So you may wanna go in there and look at that actual product. You may wanna Google that product. You wanna see if, you know, there's been a lot of complaints on that product, if there's a lot of refunds on that product. You, as an affiliate, may not wanna sell that product, but you're not gonna know that if you don't do some research. I think too many people don't go in depth enough when they look at products that they're gonna sell, they just think, well, there's another product I can sell it. What if that person who sells the product is not delivering on it? I know we sell survival food and we always deliver on it. We don't have any refunds. We don't have any problems. If there's delays because of a pandemic, you know, we let people know that. We answer all of our messages that come into the company every single day. We don't wait. So that's the kind of company you'd wanna deal with. But maybe somebody is, you know, selling a product like I bought a product the other day and it was a digital product and it didn't work. And when I went in to use the digital product, they went to upsell me to something that costs three times as much and the beginning product didn't work. So I actually went to PayPal and said, hey, I want my money back. You know, this is why I want my money back. This product doesn't work. PayPal said, hey, we've gotta wait two weeks, three weeks, whatever, give them a chance to respond. And the company never ever responded and I got my money back. But they didn't even respond to complaints about their product. So is that a product that you wanna sell? Probably not. Now I wasn't an affiliate for that product. I was a person who actually purchased that product. But that let me know what kind of company it was too. You also wanna look how long has that product been out there? There's a lot of products that come out and they do great and they sell really well and they're a big boom. But later on there's problems with that product. You know, I'm thinking back to a car company I just read about the other day called Nicola and they supposedly had a truck that was going to compete with the Tesla truck and they showed the truck going down the road real fast. It looked really cool, it looked really sleek, really neat. And for 10 years they have been in development. They took $2 billion from GM and as it turns out that truck that was going down the road, zooming down the road was actually a truck with no engine in it, no motor because they don't have a prototype and they had put it on top of a hill and let it roll down the hill and then turn the video so that it looked flat. They got busted on this. Their stock has dropped and plummeted tremendously. Now I'm not saying that this company's a fraud or anything, I'm just telling you what I saw on the news but bottom line is stuff like that can really change if you want to sell a product or not. How reputable are they? How long have they been around? Do they make their customers happy? You know, our survival food company's been around for 10 years now and we've made a lot of people happy, we've taken care of people. If somebody's not happy, we take care of them so an affiliate doesn't have to worry that they're going to send traffic to my site and then people are going to get upset and come back on them, that just won't happen. So I hope you understand this affiliate thing a little bit better. It can be real frustrating if you don't understand it. You may still have questions and if you do put those in the comments below. I'll be happy to address those. I'm on both sides of it because I have products and I have affiliates that sell them and I also am an affiliate and I sell other people's products whether it's software or survival products or whatever. So, you know, I'm on both sides of that. So if you have questions that could probably help you out I have several affiliate networks that I like to deal with like share a sale or click bank but you may have some other suggestions you're welcome to put them in the comments below.
