Affiliate marketers need lovin’ too

In which the question was asked: “I’m a brand new affiliate marketer and will be promoting many different products and building different landing pages for each. Do I create separate email addresses for each product when building a list? And should they be branded business emails? Or can I use gmail? Thanks in advance.” Two things about this: 1. A lot of it has to do with thinking like a publisher and not like an affiliate marketer, internet marketer, or even direct marketer 2. You can learn a LOT about how to answer this question — everyone’s situation is different — by observing brilliant merchandisers who are/were also publishers like Walt Disney with his Mickey Mouse, the great High-King of email himself Matt Furey with his Combat Conditioning book, and Robert Kiyosaki with his Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. I will also add: The answer to his question is the same answer I’d give to someone in MLM, too. As for the answer? That, my friend, is in the October Email Players issue. In fact, I sum it up in just 8 words. Eight words that can, in my experience, potentially get an affiliate’s business lots of new sales over time. In fact, these 8 words are the key to the entire info publishing game as far as I am concerned when it comes to this particular question. And, in fact, I spend a lot of time on it in my upcoming new program AWAI will be selling that will replace my 10-Minute Workday program. More on that as we get closer. In the meantime, I answer the above question in the October Email Players issue. The deadline to get in before it’s too late is just about here though. When I send the list to the printer today, I shut it all down, and block all entrances. Here’s the link: []( Ben Settle P.S. Here’s a taste of what is inside the October issue: * A clever way (I first heard back in 1998 in an MLM training from a sales genius) to ‘hack’ your brain into becoming more successful, having a bigger business, being more influential, or whatever your goals are. * The case for purposely looking like an asshole to all your friends, loved ones, and business peers. (Especially useful and profitable if you’re a hopeless people pleaser, and you know it’s hurting your business, your income, and peace of mind.) * A powerful merchandising secret (used for decades by the billion dollar retail store industry) that the late, great Gene Schwartz used to create some of his most memorable and profitable ads. * A “crash course” on how to set up your merchant accounts on rotation… with no one account getting all the sales, staying off radars during launches, and protecting your business from being shut down by a nervous Nellie bureaucrat if you make too much money too quickly. (I also show you the exact services I use… a guy you can contact right away to get the ball rolling who also can help coach you through chargebacks… the ideal number of merchant accounts to have… the exact best time to shop for a new merchant account… and where to find people to help you with the tech side if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. This one part of the October issue alone can potentially be worth 100... maybe even 1000 times the price over time — not only in lower fees, but peace of mind, time saved, and the list goes on.) * Best place to put a link in an email if you could only put one in and HAD to make the sale. (I put all mine in the same place in 99.9% of my emails — but that does not mean YOU should, or that I even would put it there, in every case. See inside for my take on this.) * A NON-email goo-roo approved fact (whether they like it or not) about placing links in emails to help your business get the best inbox deliverability. * How Steve Jobs and Walt Disney approached their content and product creation for maximum engagement, sales, and user-experience. (That you can apply to your emails just like they did to computers and animation.) * A clever method of crafting emails (found in The National Enquirer in all places) that can help get more of your emails delivered, opened, read, and clicked. * A geopolitical insight (straight from a respected Israeli military historian’s work about what causes wars and genocides) you can apply directly to your emails to get more sales, have more influence, and seize more engagement in your niche. * A little known insurance salesman trick from the 1950’s that can help give qualified prospects on your email list almost no choice but to buy your offers. * A sneaky way to use email to know what people on your email list want to buy before they even do! * Advice for whether or not you should sell something right away after someone buys or wait a week or two. * Why I recommend avoiding probably 99% of copywriting books, courses, programs, or training created post 2005. * The paranoid copywriter’s 10-word secret that can help make your copy as engaging (and, thus, as responsive) as you possibly can from headline to close. * An insider look at what Gary Halbert taught one of his #1 students about what the most important part of advertising is. * My uncensored opinion (probably nobody wants to hear) on the latest bit of jargon used by copywriters: ‘dimension’. * The “Faustian” secret to getting zero (or, at least, nearly zero) opt outs and spam complaints. * The world’s greatest living copywriter’s secret to more than tripling your skill level at writing sales copy within a year or less.
