6 Tips for Adding Affiliate Links to Your Offers Like a Pro

Imagine this: You have a solid offering (or group of offerings) and are seeing steady sales come through, but you're quickly realizing that the need for scalability is on the horizon. After all, marketing your offers is a full-time job! So, why not leverage other peoples' audiences to get your offers seen by more people? This is called an affiliate program and if you have an online business you're looking to grow, you just might need one.

 

So why launch an affiliate program for my offers?

What Are Cookies and Why Are They Important?

 
Affiliate links that track the purchase path of a consumer in the Affiliate Marketing game are essential. And in order to track the purchase path, they contain what's called a tracking cookie.
 
By definition: A tracking cookie is a sample of text dropped onto a browser while viewing a website. This text collects data from a user such as their activity on a website, browsing history, geographic location, purchase trends, and more.
 
The problem is, they are not fool-proof or flawless. And as of lately, they have been criticized for being intrusive in the amount of data they collect.

To make sure your website is compliant, you can get a free website scan from CookiePro for a detailed report of tracking cookies found on your website. Then, tailor a cookie banner to capture consent before tracking cookies are dropped.

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.

So if you are currently engaging in affiliate...

Top Niche Industries to Form Affiliate Partnerships With in 2022

What is an affiliate partnership?

By definition, a partnership is a formal arrangement by two or more parties to manage and operate a business and share its profits.
 
And I think those last three words are key, especially when it comes to affiliate partnerships. You share its profits.
