3 Things You Can Do Right Now to Promote Your Affiliate Link
Being an author today means wearing more hats than ever before—writer, marketer, and sometimes even influencer. If you’ve joined our affiliate program, great! (If you haven't, what are you waiting for?) But simply having an affiliate code isn’t enough. To truly benefit, you need to get it in front of the right eyes in the right way.
Here are three simple things you can do today to boost visibility and drive engagement with your affiliate code—without feeling salesy or spammy.
- Add Your Link to Your Website
This is quite possibly the easiest thing you can do. It's a one-and-done action that will have people clicking the link and buying! Add the link and coupon code to your website. If you're savvy, you can link it directly to the cover image - if you're not, that's OK! Just have the link on the front page of the website with the text under it: "Use coupon code {insert your unique code} for 15% off!"
2. Add Your Link to Your Email Signature
Another one-and-done solution. Add your link and coupon code to your email signature! This is a great way to share the link consistently without having to use cheesy sales pitches or spamming people. It's just there for people to click on if they're interested.
3. Add Your Link to Your Social Media Profiles
This is another one-and-done solution. On any of your social media profiles, in your bio - add the link and coupon code. If you have multiple links (for example, if you have a website, a contact form, and now this link) you can use a service like LinkTree. This gives you one link to host all of your links.
