Hi everyone!
I’ve been getting more and more into online marketing recently. One person who really inspired me is Jason Fladlien – especially his approach to using affiliates to promote webinars and online courses, even when those products aren’t his own.
I have a few questions:
1. How can I attract affiliates if I’m just getting started and don’t have a big audience or personal brand yet?
Who should I reach out to, and how should I approach them?
2. Let’s say I have an online course about sales.
Does the affiliate also need to be an expert in sales to promote it effectively?
I’m wondering if it might seem strange to their audience – like one expert recommending another expert. Could that affect the affiliate’s credibility?
3. If the affiliate promotes my product regularly, won’t their audience eventually get tired of it?
You know – the “oh no, here comes another promo” reaction.
How can I make sure the promotions are effective, but not overwhelming or salesy?
How can the affiliate maintain trust with their audience?
4. I also realize how important bonuses are – I’m planning to create extra materials that affiliates can brand with their own name and logo.
I know that people often buy because of the bonus, not just the core product. But I still have some mental blocks around this… like:
If anyone here has gone through this or has advice, I’d truly appreciate your thoughts.

- How do I create bonuses that actually help conversions?
- Will affiliates even want to use my materials under their brand?
- What should the bonus be so that it feels valuable?
