The 'Affiliate Flip™'
This term was coined by my friend Jim Edwards, one of the
foremost marketers of our time, to explain the process I
have been using to increase my affiliate sales. When he
heard what I was doing to build my list while promoting
affiliate products he saw that I had flipped the model to
make it one that would be more advantageous in the long
run.
The idea here is to set up an optin page with a free
giveaway on a specific topic. You drive traffic to this page,
and once the prospect signs up with their name and email
address they are immediately taken to the sales letter (or
optin page) for the affiliate offer.
The result is that you now have that person on your list to
be able to market to over a period of time, and they have
also been initially exposed to the product you are
promoting. The key here is to make sure that your optin
page and giveaway are closely aligned with the affiliate
offer. You want it all to make sense to your prospect.
I have used this Affiliate Flip™ technique countless times
to build my list and sell more products. Jim and I break
down this entire process in the training we did recently at:
