In the first two segments of this series, we discussed the buyer persona journey and why it is so important to affiliate marketing. We also covered how vital the calibre of your content is and how to provide consistent, high-quality content to your target clientele. We ended Part 2 by exploring ways to repurpose your content in order to maximize your reach. In Part 3, we take an in-depth look at effective ways to repurpose your content, as well as provide some basic examples to get you started. Simply put, repurposing content is taking existing content you have created and adjusting, editing or adding to it in order to share it on multiple platforms. Often this can mean turning articles or written content into videos, scripts or infographics, to name only a few. Why waste so much time creating content that may never get published, when you can effectively alter existing content into a whole new media product. This is one of many affiliate marketing strategies one can take on. Derivative content models focus on building your content strategy based on content repurposing. Using an example, we will demonstrate how the aim of this strategy should be to create new marketing channels, extend your reach and attract new sign-ups all while supporting the final project or topic. Example: You are looking to do a series of interviews with Industry specialists and influencers. Before you contact your specialists, you would have already outlined a content execution plan. This could include any or all of the following: · You will create video interviews for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. · You will use these videos on any blogs you run · Screenshots from these interviews nestled amongst the dictated version on your blog, will give a comprehensive overview to your readers. · You will turn each interview into a typed guide and offer the whole collection as a PDF eBook, with each interview being a chapter. · You will edit the videos to fit relative formats on social media sites such as Instagram Reels or YouTube shorts. · You will isolate the audio if possible and create a podcast that you share on various platforms such as iTunes and Spotify.   All these actions use the same basic source of information yet with a small amount of editing and tweaking, can generate significant high-quality traffic. Not to mention the fact that you have built a catalogue of valuable information. This catalogue can be monetized while simultaneously promoting your sign-up links. If you have followed us through part 1 and 2 of this series then you will be very aware of how important it is to offer valuable content. Combining your efforts and research into a product can put you in a powerful position, where you are able to offer sought-after information to a large group of people. Why not monetize your hard work? Some ways to earn extra income with your collection of content: · eBooks · Email courses · Private podcasts you subscribe monthly to hear · Host webinars · Monthly ‘exclusive’ newsletters with information not readily available online   These are only a handful of options to choose from. Don’t be shy to get creative with ways to repurpose your content and build your customer base. The more experience you gain with this strategy, the easier it will become to execute your content plans and create multi-streams of information to attract clients.

Here are three industry secrets to assist you with your affiliate campaigns and reach: Having a rounded and detailed understanding of your target audience is vital to your affiliate marketing. Asking yourself questions such as ‘who am I trying to attract’ and ‘who is interested in my links and associated services’, is a great starting point to refine your campaign and have them reach their full potential.   Basic details you would want established to get started include:   Once you have outlined these details, take it a step further and refine your audience based on their niche interests and how they use them. In your case, these would be good starting points:   Once you have established these factors you can start to analyse your information and find areas that your audience has issues with or content that is not readily available to them. Offering a solution is valuable information and definitely information they will return for regularly. This is why building a Buyer persona template is so effective. These templates will allow you to direct your campaigns in the most efficient way, in order to maximize your reach and sign-ups while simultaneously developing a strong relationship of quality and trust with your audience. Remember, if your content is poor and vague, your clients will not return nor recommend you. Learning some of the basics regarding SEO can be very beneficial to your affiliate business. Many affiliate partners forget about this or don’t take the time to learn more on the subject. Unfortunately, they are really missing out on good opportunity. Basic SEO can truly help generate quality leads as well as quality traffic for your affiliate business. SEO will help you appear on search engines and get noticed by your intended clientele. Ranking for certain keywords related what to your buyers want, can turn a good campaign into an unbeatable one. This is another reason establishing buyer persona templates is so fundamental to the affiliate marketing industry. However, don’t stuff keywords into your work, you can be punished for this by various search engines such as Google. We cannot stress this point enough. Do not waste your time with directionless, vague page-filling content with some SEO keywords stuffed into it. Your audience is intelligent and if you treat them otherwise, they will know it instantly and they won’t frequent your platforms nor promote you to others. Using point 1 to assist you, determine what your target market is in need of, what problems they are experiencing and where there is a gap in the current available resources, that you can fill. Offering help and practical, useable information will be what keeps bringing your customers back and signing up with your unique affiliate links.

In this article we will cover several areas to market your sign-up links, in an effort to increase traffic and encourage investors. This is a great way to reach a range of different people. Not only can you write a review of the business you are promoting on your own platforms but there are other online domains that you can add your review to such as Google or Trustpilot.

Facebook is great because not only can you potentially interact directly with individuals, you also have access to communities and channels dedicated to the exact business you are promoting. Other popular platforms include Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, Discord, TikTok, Pinterest and Twitch. Education is a great way to share your content and your sign-up links. Making tutorial videos, that cover aspects of the business you are marketing, can generate significant traffic. People often search for tutorial videos on YouTube, which is another great way to incorporate your affiliate links while providing content of substance that your audience finds useful. There are two main ways to include your sign-up links in your videos on YouTube: 1. Include them in the description of the video and make a shout out or call-to-action during the video to ensure viewers are aware and encouraged to navigate there. 2. Use annotations. These are popup bubbles or windows that can be displayed during your video at predetermined and strategically chosen times. As an affiliate marketer you understand the importance of a data base of emails. Generating new followers and subscribers is fundamental to your marketing campaigns. Automated emails are a good way to promote your links without spamming or overwhelming your reader.

Discord and Twitch are two growing platforms that can help affiliate partners build a strong relationship with their audience and increase their reach through their marketing efforts. In this article, we are going to explore how these platforms work and how affiliates can make the most out of Discord and Twitch. Discord is a text, voice and video app, that has seen tremendous worldwide user-growth in the last few years. Discord mainly attracts communities interested in specific topics with some of the most popular subjects being finance, investments and cryptocurrencies. Discord is also used by small communities for online meetings and project coordination. Discord is conveniently compatible with all smart devices and desktop computers, as well as, laptops and tablets. If you are an affiliate who wants to leverage Discord, you have to create a Server or a Channel. A server is where you and your followers can interact with each other. It is similar to a Facebook group in the sense that you can invite people to join, as well as, define the rules and flow of the server, amongst other features. Alternatively, you can create a Channel, which is a more traditional way to release your content and topic-focused updates. In fact, channels can have rooms where only a specific topic is discussed. For example, if you are a cryptocurrency expert, you can have multiple dedicated rooms covering: CFD Trading, Technical Analysis or TA, DeFi, ICO, Gaming Tokens and so on. Discord also provides another type of channel: stage channels. These are voice channels where only selected members can speak, but other members are allowed to join under specific circumstances. An interesting feature of Discord is to attribute roles/ranks to users and these come with special privileges and permissions, particularly access to exclusive channels where a creator can place premium content. This multitude of features makes Discord a great place for creating communities and interacting with your targeted audience. Hence, as an affiliate you might want to consider which features best suit your style and the type of interactions you want to have with your audience. Discord gives you flexibility in managing your community and monetizing your affiliate partnership. On your server and channels, you have to share content that provides value to your followers and engages with the user. The goal is to create a lively community and become a preferred source of information. When it comes to creating a community on a sever or channel, your first aim should be to onboard the already existent followers you have on other platforms, I.e. Social Media, Mail list, Website visitors and any other areas where you have loyal followers. Visit our Affiliate Learning Center to benefit from multiple, detailed, how-to guides covering how to build a following on the most popular platforms and much more. Alternatively, you can also attract users that are already using discord by advertising your server on other servers. A common strategy is to contact the owners of a server that shares similar topics as yours and ascertain how much it will cost you to post a link to your server with them or try propose a link exchange. Additionally, you can join other Discord servers and participate in the ongoing discussions, sharing your expertise and making users aware of your own server through this community. Once you have a following, you can share your affiliate links and capitalize on your audience through targeted topics and quality content. If Discord doesn’t sound like a platform you want to invest your time in, an alternative growing platform to capitalize on your affiliate efforts is Twitch. Twitch is a web platform for live video streaming. It is mainly used by gamers who live stream their sessions. However, it is growing traction in many other fields, particularly trading and FinTech. Twitch was founded in 2011 and in 2014 was acquired by Amazon. At the core of Twitch are the content creators that connect with their, often large, following base, by livestreaming their content. Content creators can also earn money by affiliating directly with Twitch. We will not dive into the specs of such affiliation; however, you need to have a decent following and commit to regular livestreaming sessions. Despite the baked-in affiliate program, most content creators use Twitch to leverage their own businesses and their external affiliate programs. The central purpose of Twitch is to livestream content while engaging with your audience. Your live sessions have to be valuable and help your followers. In the DeFi and FinTech industries, content creators use Twitch to discuss topics such as their market views, to analyse charts and even AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) sessions where they collect questions from the audience, to name but a few. When you livestream on Twitch you can then share your affiliate links with your audience, thus promoting your affiliate business. Additionally, you can share your recorded sessions from Twitch on your YouTube channel/s and use the Twitch session as fresh content on YouTube for those who cannot follow you on Twitch. Along with questions, by livestreaming on Twitch you have the option to receive donations from your audience through the app, which could be a great way to make a little extra income. However, as with all types of platforms where you engage with users, your primary goal is to create content that your followers value thus allowing you to create a genuine relationship with them that lasts. Twitch, like Discord, works better when used to strengthen a community. It is also important to remember to make your channel a reliable and valuable source of information. Twitch and Discord are two growing platforms that help content creators monetize their marketing efforts. Both platforms are very intuitive and are rapidly expanding across the globe, especially amongst people interested in finance and cryptocurrency. You can leverage this platform to further promote your affiliate links and earn additional income. With the EagleFX affiliate program, you don’t need a massive audience to grow your earnings.

  You may be new to affiliate marketing or perhaps you are interested in expanding your reach and target market? Over the years, email marketing has proven to be the most cost-effective channel in terms of communicating with your customers, nurturing leads and increasing customer loyalty. Here is some information on how to practice email marketing for your affiliate campaigns. If you find yourself sending out emails promoting your brokers features or referring clients to use certain services and products, then you are email marketing already. The same applies to sending out emails to existing clients and users with updates etc. The beauty of email is that it is fundamentally a communication channel however it is incredibly effective in marketing and soliciting business through these communications. The intention of marketing emails is to target specific groups and customers with the goal of selling services and products or, in this case, your unique affiliate sign-up links. One of the most vital aspects of this type of marketing is to first build and then increase your customers loyalty, to what you have to offer. Why can Email Marketing Increase your Sign-ups? There are many pros to this 50-year-old technology such as the immense reach it can have. 99% percent of users tend to check their email at least once a day, no matter their interest and ability in using the internet. Moreover, unlike many other social media applications such as Instagram and Facebook, you cannot be deleted, suspended or have your followers/data base taken from you; your email list belongs to you after all. Another vital point to make, is that email marketing can be very cost effective, if not completely free. This means your return on investment or your ROI can be significantly high with email marketing. With a potential ROI of 4400%, what's not to like? That’s $44 dollars for every $1 you invest into your email marketing campaigns. Step 1 – Build and expand your email list: There are several ways to optimize your email subscribers and grow your list of addresses. These include hiring a service that specializes in marketing via email as well as many options that cost you nothing but time. As for the content and prizes, this will be up to you and your available resources but it is important to remember ‘lead magnets’ or ‘irresistible offers’ need to be immediately accessible, easy to use and understand and provide a noticeable value.   Step 2 – Categorize your email list: One of the most vital actions you can take is to segment your email list into particular categories for a more targeted approach. If you are able to provide highly sought-after information to an already established, select group of people you know will benefit the most, then you should naturally have higher email-open rates, click-through rates and subsequently, fewer unsubscribes. Some factors used to determine your segments include but are not limited to: Once you have successfully allocated your email groups you should be able to better target your audience by scheduling automatic emails to go to each group based on the attributes and preferences of said group. You will also be able to create targeted and relevant subject lines, call-to-actions and messages aimed at each specific segmented email list.   Step 3 - Increase open, read and click-through rates: It would be a shame to put in a lot of hard work, only for your emails to go unopened. Here are a few tips on how to get and keep your readers’ attention and hopefully generate new sign-ups and desired traffic as a result.   Step 4 – Keep Records of Your Metrics: It is important to keep track of your critical email marketing metrics. This is how you will gage the success of your campaigns and identify certain markers, tools and features that tend to work better than others. As with everything in life, timing is vital with email marketing. If you manage any social media accounts you are probably aware of how important the time of day is when it comes to maximizing reach and engagement. Studies have had varying results however it seems there is consensus that Tuesdays have the highest open and click-through rates while Saturday seems to garner more conversions. However, this is only a guideline and offers no guarantees. Our advice would be to study the habits of your target audience in detail and through a mixture of trial-and-error, experimentation and metric-based results, you will discover the most effective times to market. EagleFX offers 24/7 customer support, as well as, a specialised affiliate department, ready to assist you with queries, marketing materials and advertising ideas.

There is a big range of success one can achieve as an affiliate marketer. While the basics may be easy for everyone to get a handle on, having a couple of qualities that directly benefit the requirements and responsibilities of your role as affiliate marketer, is the cherry on an already delicious cake. Depending on the time and resources you put into your affiliate marketing, you can really make a successful and sustainable career as a master affiliate. However, if you have any of these 6 characteristics, you could do even better when operating your marketing campaigns. This one goes without saying really. There isn’t an industry where being informed and organized is a bad thing. In order to keep track of your earnings, campaign successes, platforms and brands you promote as well as strategize scheduling and campaign diversification, you will need to be efficiently organized and possess some key knowledge on your chosen field. Which brings us to our next point... This is an extremely useful and important tool to have at your disposal as an affiliate marketer. Having a plan and meeting your own deadlines as well as consistently staying active and engaged in your campaign work is vital to your success. It is likely very few people will see your campaign if it is posted on your new website once and left for months. Regular scheduled actions that you execute consistently, not only garners higher traffic frequency but also instils trust in you as a marketer through reliable information provided regularly and routinely. The world is a malleable, ever-fluid system where trends and technology constantly morph and evolve. In order to stay current and relevant, you will need a hunger for knowledge as well as a strong desire to provide detailed, accurate and well-researched information to your database. This again adds to the trust your followers will have in you, as you provide helpful content that actually offers them something and makes a difference to their life in a significant way. 4. Self-Motivation and Discipline This is an excellent trait any entrepreneur should have but especially affiliate marketers. As you are predominantly going to be working alone, which is the case for most affiliate marketers, you will need a strong sense of self-discipline and a determination. You will be relying on yourself for support, encouragement and praise, which is another good reason to stay up-to-date with news and relevant developments in your field. History shows diversification precedes success and this is very much the case with affiliate marketing. There is competition out there and in order to establish yourself well, you need to create diverse campaigns targeted across various platforms and socio-economic groups. Having unique and creative selling points can make you stand out and aid in distinguishing yourself as a leader in the affiliate world. EagleFX offers multiple resources covering everything to do with affiliate marketing. ‘How’, ‘when’ and ‘where’ are covered in some of the articles we provide as well as specific platform maximisation and usage, strategy development and success tracking.

Growth, development and accumulation happen slowly and with consistency. Allow adequate time to actually reap the rewards of your efforts before being discouraged or throwing the towel in completely. Great things take time. Remember, you can always contact our specialty affiliate management department for tips, ideas, resources and advertising materials such as banners and flyers.

Launched in 2004, Facebook was the first social network to reach extraordinary mass global success. Despite the concerns revolving around the company, today Facebook attracts 2.6 billion users worldwide and retains a position of leadership that seems untouchable. In addition, given the versatility of the platform, it fits the creation of content of any type and attracts creators involved in any industry. Hence, the affiliate case for Facebook is simple: Billions of users + Boundless creativity = High Potential for Leads Facebook is unquestionably a must for leveraging your affiliate effort, and in this article, we are going to see how you can get the most out of it and boost your earnings through affiliation. As with all social networks, the principles for being successful are not different on Facebook. In fact, what you want to aim for is to create valuable content that helps the users within your niche. Additionally, you want to be consistent in your effort. To grow an audience on Facebook outside of your personal profile, you have 3 options:   All of them are useful if you understand what their purpose is. Here is a breakdown. A Facebook Page is a dedicated space that represents your business where you can publish your fresh content. On this page, followers will find all the information related to your activity and they can also engage with your content. Given the growth of Facebook in the last decade, growing a FB page organically can be challenging. However, if you stay consistent and your content attracts users/stimulates interaction, you will be able to grow it without ads. On your page, the published content should follow an editorial line that matches the theme of the page. Therefore, be focused on a topic/market and avoid sharing anything else that might diverge from the main topic. For instance, if you decide to focus on Fundamental Analysis for stocks, avoid sharing your political views or your excitement for your football team's success. On your Facebook page you can insert a link to your broker contextually to your content. Additionally, you can place the referral also in the description of your page. The limit of Facebook Page is that it is hard to foster interactions and engage directly with the users. However, Facebook provides you with a better tool for that end: Facebook Group. A Facebook Group works awesomely for affiliates because they allow them to create a community. A community is a group of people with a common cause or a shared goal. In your case probably something like “making money in the stock/crypto/forex market”. If you are the leader of such a community, your success will be inevitable as your FB group will become a pillar for its users as well as the place to find expertise, suggestions and directions. Here is the catch though. You want to lead a community and not dominate it. What does this mean? Simply, you don’t want to fly solo. You want users to interact and bond with each other. Therefore, you have to share helpful content, raise subjects of interest and provide thoughtful views. Additionally, you want to keep the conversations focused around a main subject to make your group a “go-to” place for expertise on a subject. When it comes to affiliate links, in your group you can promote them as much as you consider appropriate. Don’t do hard sell though. Although the word “social” should be self-explanatory, many ignore or underestimate how powerful is to interact with other content on social media. If you want to be successful, speed up the creation of a community and attract new users systematically for free, then you have to engage with content created by others. The core of this strategy is to select groups and pages that are close or related to your main topic and then interact. Interacting here means to engage actively by sharing your view or adding something to the ongoing conversation. Avoid useless comments like “Amazing wow!”. Rather elaborate your thoughts or how that content inspired you. Interacting will strengthen your authority on a subject. Additionally, a valuable comment can attract the interest of new users who are always keen to follow creators who bring food for thought. When performed systematically, this strategy works as a charm. Thus, do not underestimate its value. When it comes to your affiliate links, groups and pages share their “terms” and you have to respect them. The general suggestion is to add links only if they add value to the ongoing conversation, and not for the hope of having clicks. The main goal of this strategy, however, is not to get clicks rather to attract users to spaces you control: your page and group. Although Facebook is extremely populated, growing on the platform takes time and effort. Thus, if you decide that Facebook is a social network you want to invest your energy in, be sure to structure your effort to be consistent in the long run. If you are looking for a broker that maximises the returns of your affiliate effort, look no further. The commission structure of EagleFX is the best on the market and you will have 24/7 support through dedicated Affiliate Manager. Visit this page to start your affiliate journey with us.  

Who doesn’t like to win something? For generations, friendly competitions have been used in a way to generate a larger customer base, spread the word of the product or service you offer, as well as give something back to the loyal clients that keep your business afloat. In this article we will discuss some competition ideas, how to use the competition to market yourself and the benefits of collaboration when hosting a competition. This does not have a direct or clear answer because the options are endless and you can really be creative here. Common competitions include prize or cash giveaways, free subscriptions for a certain time period and even education course and travel getaways. It really depends on what tools and platforms you have at your disposal as well as the budget you are able to allocate to this campaign. When it comes to affiliate marketing, offering sought after rewards within the field of finance and trading can be a smart strategy to reach a targeted market and increase your affiliate sign-ups. For example, one could offer a $10 sign on bonus for the first $100 traded on their account. Alternatively, you could offer your referrals signals or education on trading. Here is where collaboration comes in very handy. Collaboration is an extremely powerful marketing tool if you know how to use it and can screen potential partnerships to ensure quality control and trust throughout the process. You don’t want to partner with brands that reflect a different mission statement and business integrity to your own, this can ultimately bring down the reputation of your services and platforms. However, should you find the right partner and host a strong and extensive competition, you could gain many new loyal followers and new sign-ups. It’s all about making smart choices according to the outcome you are hoping for and the target audience you want to reach. Ultimately, the exposure generated from a well-marketed competition can be beneficial to all parties involved. Here is a list of possible platforms and channels to host your competition on (combining 2+ of these can be even more effective):   Each channel and competition type will come with their own pros and cons as well as their own requirements/costs. Choosing the right one depends on your intention, range, time, ability and, of course, your budget. For more ideas on how to promote your affiliate links, visit us here.
