Why Investing In Good Influencer Analytics Equals Health & Success in Your Affiliate Program
Jan 05, 2023
As I mentioned in previous blog posts, maintaining good influencer analytics is a big component in a successful affiliate program. Why? Imagine choosing influencers with a lot of followers thinking it’s a good fit but they don’t have the right audience to get you the sales. Let me explain in an example:
You're in a partnership with Influencer A that has 105,000 followers (because, well, it’s an impressive number.)
Your target audience and consumers are age group 27-35 with an interest in fishing.
Influencer A barely makes any sales but has a lot of likes in the post featured with your product.
What happened? Well If we dove into Influencer A’s analytics it would show you, only 60% of their following is real profiles and not robots. Out of 60% of those real followers, 55% of that are age groups 18-21 with the remainder being age group 25+ and within that 5% being that age group 95% of that 5% is mostly women not men, which...

5 Lessons Before Finding Your Next Affiliate Partner
Sep 09, 2022
This blog contains affiliate links, which means I receive a small commission in exchange for your product or service purchase after clicking one of my links--don't worry, there is no extra cost to you.
Often times, we get so roped in to shiny object syndrome that we see the benefits of Affiliate Marketing (which are extensive, I must add) and we dismiss the actual pre-work that should go into forming successful partnerships.
It's important that you are aware that there is a little bit of due diligence that must be performed before you go solidifying any partnership.
In this world of the oh-so-valuable free social media platforms we have access to, poaching affiliate partners via Instagram DMs or even targeted Facebook ads is so common. And it's tempting to accept every offer that comes your way, even for me. But, I know better than to take the bait right away. That is, before fully evaluating the partnership.
So if you are currently engaging in affiliate...

It’s a common question, and I have a few answers that should spark some ideas for you.
But first, let's do a quick refresh on what your landing pages should look like.
Your Affiliate Landing Pages
