Before you invest a Penny, do this.š
When it comes to Amazon Creator Connections and TikTok Affiliate Program.
Most of you are punting it badly.Ā Ā
I know, that sounds harsh.Ā
Sometimes love is a hug; and sometimes itās a paddle.
Donāt worry. The rest of this video?Ā Itās a hug.
Now with influencer marketing, I think Iāve seen it all.
Direct influencer engagement.
Creator marketplaces.
Affiliate networks.
All of it.
Mind you, when weāre managing Amazon or TikTok Shop for a client. Ā šš°š·š¦. Ā ššÆš§šš¶š¦šÆš¤š¦š³. Ā šš³š¢š§š§šŖš¤. Ā š„°
And so do the algorithms. āļø
But there is soooo much wasted money.
And there is soooo much missed opportunity.Ā
Now if youāre paying for Influencer contentā¦
$2k in sales from a $2k post?
Not an uncommon outcome at all.Ā
Youāre trusting the Lifetime Value process.
Check.
But TikTok Affiliates or Amazon Creator Connections?
Somehow all of a sudden youāre super shy. š
Really? Ā For a performance based option?
You need to sšµš°š± šµš³š¦š¢šµšŖšÆšØ šµš©š¦š“š¦ š±š³š°šØš³š¢š®š“ š¢š“ šš¢šš¦š“ š¤š©š¢šÆšÆš¦šš“.
šš©š¦šŗ š¢š³š¦ š±š°šøš¦š³š§š¶š šØš³š°šøšµš© š„š³šŖš·š¦š³š“.
Theyāre among the most cost-effective growth drivers in the game.
But you have to unlock your mindset to do it right.
šš²šæš²āš ššµš šš¼š ššµš¼šš¹š± š±š¼ššÆš¹š² š±š¼šš» š¼š» šÆš¼ššµ Creator Connections and TikTok Affiliates:
Ā They are 100% performance based.Ā No sales, no payment.Ā
Ā Customers pay full price, and that means theyāre uber high intent.Ā They will buy again.Ā Ā
It widens your customer base, and brings customers into your remarketing funnels.Ā
The associated algorithms of Amazon and TikTok love the traffic.
With all of that said, hš²šæš²āš šµš¼š šš¼š ššµš¼šš¹š± šÆš² executing these programs differently from the way youāre executing them now:
Ā Low commissions attract scrubs.Ā Use 25% MIN.
Ā When you can, use even higher commissions.
(Use campaign budgets to limit exposure.)
Your entire catalog should be in these programs at all times.
(Unless you have chronic stock issues.)
Use different campaigns with different commission amounts for different products.
And when all else fails.
And youāre tempted to offer that sucky 10% commission.
Remember your 30% ACOS.Ā š š»
