MenuWith affiliate marketing, what are the things to watch out for when working directly with a buyer vs going through a network?
I'm currently generating leads for a network, but I want to expand my business and go direct with buyers. I haven't done this before and don't want to blow my chances by sounding inexperienced when talking to new potential buyers.
Answers
Buyers are attracted to you because you are the expert. If you make a mistake along the way assume responsibility, learn, and move on. Nevertheless don't limit yourself due to fear. Take the leap and learn as you go.
First of all, as a newbie u should not go to a particular buyer u should build a network like creating a youtube channel and creating a blog post in a niche your selecting to promote(affiliate). If u have a good budget u can optimize SEO, if u don't have a budget u can bring the audience by creating a new page on insta, Facebook, and LinkedIn . for more information about affiliate marketing call me
Payment terms and risks are a key factor to look out for when working directly with buyers versus an affiliate network. Typically, networks handle payments, ensuring you get paid even if the buyer delays/defaults. Payment terms are standardized and you dont need to worry about not getting your money. Direct deals may be more profitable, offering greater control as they involve negotiating payment terms, and you are responsible for ensuring payment. Making a deal with the wrong buyer could result in non-payment. You can ensure avoiding these issues by asking for upfront deposits in the beginning and verifying the buyers credibility to avoid potential non-payment issues. Tracking & Attribution is something else to consider when working directly with a buyer. Networks usually provide sophisticated tracking tools, pixel integrations, and detailed reporting on your performance. When working directly with a buyer, you will need to handle tracking on your own or invest in third party solutions which may increase your costs while not offering effective tracking services. To combat this, ensure both yourself and the buyer agree on tracking mechanisms to avoid disputes over lead attribution as misattributions can lead to lost revenue or disagreements.

Need a good lead generation strategy for chiropractors for getting new patients. Ideas?
I think Facebook is great for really targeting your audience and you’re on the right track. But I think you can have a better funnel than that. I find, for getting better conversion today, it is better to get your Facebook traffic off of Facebook as fast as you can to your offer and into your funnel. It is more effective for driving actual sales. If you’re just looking for social branding etc. then your funnel might be ok. A very effect strategy is to create either a video or report that you give away to your audience in exchange for an email. It should be something that helps solve or bring to light the problems patients are suffering from and how to go about solving them. Then mention how having a great Chiropractor can solve all of that and can be the most effective way to get ride of the pain. I would also have some things in there that would help them in other ways. Then I would send them to an event or webinar with your top Chiropractor and you in an interview / reveal-all type webinar to educate your lead and manage their fears of going to a Chiropractor. You could tell them that the first step is making an appointment for an assessment. You should make it easy for them to find the best and most effective Chiropractor in their area. You might have a discount on the assessment only available to them for being on the webinar to get them to sign up at the end of the webinar. By the way, once this is recorded, you can make this evergreen so you don't have to do a webinar all the time. As long as you are reaching more and new people with your Facebook campaign you won’t have to change the video all the time. Once you have people signed up to make an appointment, make sure they are also putting a deposit of a 100 dollars or something down. This will increase your show rate for the Chiropractors. Then give them a voucher for that Chiropractor, for more than you’re asking for at the deposit for services, to use with that Chiropractor. Allowing you to prevent cancelations etc. so that their getting their money back in the form of a voucher for services which, by the way, is not a discount and shouldn’t diminishing your Chiropractors Rates. This strategy I have used in several markets that has produced more prequalified leads and patients / customers. Remember to test, track and know your metrics. You’re going to need to make some tweaks in the beginning, but this can be very effective for you. So to recap: 1. Setup a landing page with your offer in exchange for an offer. You can build this in software like Leadpages.net or Megaphoneapp.com 2. Make your offer downloadable if an ebook or white paper or present your video after. I recommend using Wistia instead of YouTube for playback as you will be able to have heat maps of your video to know where your fall off points are. You can also make this page with the software mentioned above. 3. Use an email autoresponder to engage your lead and email them about the event you’re doing after they had time to read or download your materials. Or, if a video, I would just pitch them at the end with a link below the video to automatically register. 4. Put on a webinar with your guest using either GoToWebinar or Google hangouts if you know how to set that up. 5. Make sure you have your appointment getting page with your the down payment created. You can use several different type of scheduling services so you can automatically deliver the lead/ appointment to the chiropractor. To Note: The reason I don’t send the visitor to the webinar first is because it is better to get the visitor predisposed to your information before asking them to commit to a webinar and when you do it the way I played out, you will have a much better show rate. This is it in a nutshell. Obviously there is more to it. If you need another funnel idea I am hear to help. I have used other effective strategies in the past to also make money on the front end to make your advertising free. It just depends on what you want to do and how advanced you want to get. Hope this helps give you some ideas. :) If you need help implementing something like this just let me know.MH

What Wordpress Plugins is the best for creating a Multi-Level Affiliate Marketing program?
There is a lot of points in your question which unless someone has the exact same setup as you - I don't think you will get the answers you are looking for. I believe you should limit it by asking yourself: What is the ONE thing the MLM plugin I am looking for can do so that it achieves the maximum amount of result to my business by using it? IMHO - it would be the ability to set commissions for the products you sell and award commissions to those affiliates that actually earn you sales. All other features, while nice, are ancillary features that from the perspective of the affiliate - don't really need in order to be successful. In that regard - I would suggest https://affiliatewp.com/. When it comes to running affiliate programs on WP sites, it wins out as the best in my experience. Hope this helps! Glad to assist any further if you need help.TB
