If it is your first time in the world of affiliate marketing or software sales, you are surely wondering “What should I do to get people to enter my link, try the app and make money?”. As Planify X’s marketing team, we’ve been there, done that. Fortunately, over these years of trying, we have figured out what works best for both us and our top affiliates and resellers. And since we want you to succeed too, we have created this comprehensive guide with the most effective strategies to land your first customers.
Value Content
If you don’t have a big budget, but do have time, the best you can do is create relevant and useful content on your blog and social media about the various tools a marketer needs for their daily tasks, and how Planify X brings them all together in one place at an incredible price. Keep in mind that many agencies or freelancers are actively seeking this type of information, and your ability to assist them with this will be highly valuable. Remember to share your affiliate link at least 3 times in each post; this will increase the chances of your viewers clicking on it.
Your Own Referral Program
This strategy is very intriguing and positions you as an expert in Planify X. It consists of the following: you can offer your current customers to join the platform through your link and even encourage them to share it with their own clients. In return, you can provide them with certain benefits, such as one-on-one consultations to teach them how to use the platform’s tools, ‘VIP’ access to your exclusive material, early access to your upcoming courses, special discounts, etc. The idea is for them to receive a ‘Bonus’ for referring others to you.
Social Media
Regularly post on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Use relevant hashtags and share success stories with your followers. People love to see how someone makes money in unconventional ways or even how they solved the same problems they have! By using your creativity, you can create posts that go viral and reach thousands of people. You can include your affiliate link in the post description, and you can even provide your contact details (email, WhatsApp, Telegram) for people to reach out to you privately. Remember that on these platforms, you also have chat features for them to interact without leaving the app. Always keep your referral link handy.
Groups and Communities
You can create groups on Facebook or WhatsApp where you share tips or even offer free courses using Planify X. Your viewers will become interested and start consulting you; this is your moment to provide your insights about the platform and share your affiliate link. Remember, you will be our ambassador in the world, and people will feel comfortable with you. Additionally, you can create WhatsApp communities where you have all your groups: clients, prospects, students, etc., and send them updates from time to time (including your affiliate link) and even invite them to your Webinars and Workshops (strategy 4th). Don’t forget the golden rule: NO SPAM! They might block your number, and all your efforts will go to waste.
Online advertising
This strategy allows you to reach thousands of people quickly by investing just a few dollars. Advertising on social media is the most cost-effective way to promote your products or services today. For just $1 a day, your ad can reach thousands of people every day. Besides, Planify X already provides ad materials that have been tested and proven to work, making it easier for you to start. The most commonly used platforms are Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, YouTube, and TikTok, each catering to different audiences. A good strategy is to be present on at least two of them simultaneously. To get a quick start, let’s review each one in detail.
Google Ads
Google Ads is a powerful tool to reach potential customers. Here’s how to set up your first campaign:
- Create a Google Ads Account: Sign up at ads.google.com.
- Set Up a Campaign: Choose a goal such as “Website Traffic” or “Lead Generation.”
- Select Keywords: Use Google’s Keyword Planner to find relevant keywords that your target audience is searching for.
- Create Ad Groups: Organize your keywords into themes and create targeted ad groups.
- Write Your Ads: Use the ad copy provided by PlanifyX to create engaging ads.
- Set a Budget: Determine how much you’re willing to spend daily and set your budget accordingly.
- Launch and Monitor: Launch your campaign and monitor its performance regularly, making adjustments as needed.
Some additional tips to make the most out of them:
- Focus on Search, Display and Performance Max Campaigns: Create targeted campaigns aimed at entrepreneurs and businesses looking to automate their digital marketing efforts.
- Use the right keywords: For your Search Campaigns, focus on keywords such as “marketing automation,” “AI chatbots for WhatsApp” and “digital marketing software.” You can also try going for the name of direct competitors that offer similar tools for higher prices, or use long-tail keywords with purchase intent, like “the best chatbots for WhatsApp”.
- Target Audience Interests: For display campaigns, target users interested in marketing, AI chatbots, business automation, and business growth.
- Use Proven Ad Copy and Visuals: You can use the provided Planify X ads to maintain consistency and leverage their proven success.
- Set up an attractive landing page or chatbot sequence: Here’s where your customers will land after clicking on your ad. Customize them to close the sale!
Facebook and Instagram Ads
To effectively use Facebook and Instagram Ads, you’ll need to have a Facebook Page or an Instagram Business Account, or have an admin, editor or advertiser role on someone else’s. You’ll also need to set up a valid payment method. Once you are familiarized with how the Meta Ads Manager works, here are some tips to make killer campaigns:
- Audience Targeting: Refine your audience by targeting users who show interest in digital marketing, entrepreneurship, and business automation.
- Similar Audiences: If you already have a list of leads from other channels that were interested or even better, made a purchase, create a similar audience to reach more people like them.
- Custom Audiences: Use custom audiences based on email lists or website visitors to set up retargeting campaigns for hotter leads that are closer to buy.
- Ad Creatives: Utilize PlanifyX’s ad templates to ensure high engagement and conversion rates.
Strategic Collaborations
You can seek out individuals who already have a substantial client base or thousands of followers and offer them to promote Planify X through your link. You can offer to provide them with a service in exchange or promote their products to your clients or followers. The idea is to create a win-win relationship where everyone benefits. If they already know you, they will be more accessible and it will be easier to achieve this. Otherwise, you might have to pay a few dollars for them to share, but don’t worry, it’s an investment you make once and can bring you hundreds of customers generating a recurring income for life!
SEO Strategies to Optimize Your Website
Organic traffic is crucial for long-term success. Optimizing your website or landing page for search engines can help you capture interested leads without ongoing ad costs.
Ensure that your website is optimized for search engines. If you already have a website where you frequently share valuable content, remember to have it SEO optimized. This way, Google will index it at the top of search results whenever someone searches for the appropriate keywords (which appear on your pages). This is an excellent way to acquire new customers since you only need creativity to create the content or you can use AI tools to create it. For example, with Chat GPT, you can create your content and give it a unique touch. Don’t forget to ’embed’ your affiliate link within your post.
Optimize Your Landing Page
Content: Create a compelling landing page explaining what Planify X is, how it works, and the benefits it offers to businesses.
Keywords: Include keywords such as “marketing automation tools,” “best chatbot for businesses,” and “business automation software” throughout your content.
Meta Descriptions and Titles: Write clear and keyword-rich meta descriptions and titles to improve click-through rates from search engine results.
Link Building
Guest Posting: Write guest posts on related blogs or websites that link back to your landing page.
Directory Listings: Ensure that your site is listed in relevant online directories to increase visibility.
Product Demos: Show, Don’t Just Tell
Sometimes the best way to sell a product is by showing it in action. If you know entrepreneurs or business owners interested in digital marketing, offer to give them a live demo of Planify X.
Target Market: Doctors and medical professionals are one of the top buyers of chatbots like Planify X. Reach out to local clinics or medical professionals in your network and offer to demonstrate how PlanifyX can help automate patient communication and streamline their practice.
Some tips for effective demos:
Preparation: Before the demo, make sure you’re familiar with all of Planify X’s features and benefits.
Customization: Tailor the demo to the specific needs of the business you’re presenting to.
Follow-Up: After the demo, follow up with additional resources or offer a trial to encourage them to make a purchase.
Leverage Social Proof and Testimonials/Reviews
People trust what others have to say about a product. Use social proof to your advantage:
Testimonials: Gather testimonials from satisfied customers and display them prominently on your landing page or in your ads.
Case Studies: Create detailed case studies showing how businesses have successfully implemented Planify X to achieve their goals.
Email Marketing Campaigns
Email marketing is a cost-effective way to reach potential customers. Send informative newsletters to your subscriber list, highlighting the benefits of Planify X and how they can earn by recommending it to others. Perhaps today you already have a list of customers or those interested in your products. You can leverage this by sending them additional material about the platform and how it can assist them with their daily digital marketing tasks. The steps are simple:
Build an Email List: If you still don’t have it, use lead magnets, such as free resources or trials, to collect email addresses.
Segment Your List: Divide your list into segments based on interests or behaviors for more personalized campaigns.
Automation: Use Planify X’s own tools to automate your email marketing efforts, ensuring timely follow-ups and nurturing leads towards a purchase.
Remember to share your link at least 3 times within the email body and include a link to your WhatsApp for potential inquiries to reach out to you instantly. With this strategy, you can reach hundreds or even thousands of people, but be cautious – avoid spamming! Your subscribers will dislike it (and so will we), and they may unsubscribe or even report your emails.
Webinars and Workshops
Host online webinars and workshops where you can demonstrate how to use Planify X to solve common problems. Nowadays, webinars and workshops are trendy because they allow viewers to interact almost privately with the ‘instructor.’ This can help you address questions that arise in real-time and even build enough trust for them to join the platform. Keep in mind that there are no other platforms that do what Planify X does. At the end of the webinar, share your affiliate link for them to join the platform with you, and you can even send them the presentation you used, where your link is included on various slides.
Generating your first sales as a Planify X reseller or affiliate requires a mix of paid advertising, SEO, personalized demos, and effective follow-up strategies. By targeting the right audience and utilizing the resources provided, you will surely start making sales quickly and scale your efforts as you gain more experience and iterate. Just be consistent, and we’re sure you’ll be successful sooner than you think.
