Affiliate/Vendor Lessons 4 You, PLR, More Bonus Videos & Domaining!

Published: Wed, 01/08/20


I spent yesterday doing corporate taxes - blech! So glad I have a CPA to handle all the numbers because math is certainly not my forte. Just have to drop them off at the post office now. Yay! But then personal taxes come along soon - boo! Ha ha. 

So here's what I have to share with you today:

Ending Quick FYIs and Reminders:

The sale for Kevin Fahey's Membership Sites Checklists with 18 different step-by-step checklists for this business model is ending tonight. 

I forgot to tell y'all about it and it's ending tonight, but Charles Harper put a bundle of six products with PLR rights all about Business Models on sale (he does the full video PLR courses) and they cover:

1. Info Biz Kickstart
2. Sell & Profit With Flippa
3. CPA Profit System
4. IM Launch Formula
5. Build Your Store With Shopify
6. PLR Business Kickstart

You could create 6 courses or one gigantic one from it - or hey! Use Kevin's checklists and learn how to make a membership with it. Kill 2 birds with one stone. 

 Also, Amber Jalink is having a January sale with daily deals, so today her Kindle Profits Killer Fiction Report is on sale and it's under $12 today. 

Affiliate Lesson for You

This week, I had promoted Matt's 5,001 email templates to you - and I have some more bonus videos coming later today for that, so if you're in there, check back tonight for it. 

Now one problem I saw when I myself bought Matt's emails is that I KNEW the problem y'all would have when you opened them. They were IM emails. I knew you'd stop in your tracks and be like, "OMG what have I done? I can't use these?" 

Because you didn't know how to slant them. I see this problem Sooooooo much with content templates. A friend of mine asked me to show her how to slant them and I instantly knew what my bonus would be to help not just her, but others - so I went and asked Matt's permission to share ONE email out of the 5,001 with my list to show how it could be used. 

That was what made SO many people comfortable with buying. They could finally SEE how to utilize something originally meant for another niche. 

So here's my lesson:

The person who came to me asking me the question knew I'd be there for her. I make it known to all of you that it's not disturbing me if and when you come to me asking for help - and I'm not going to throw some coaching high ticket buy button at you, either. I'm just HERE for you. Free. 

If your people don't know that, they won't bother you. And listening to her and helping her allowed ME to know what bonus I should create. It helped me generate affiliate sales for his product. Matt then liked my video so much he asked if he could make it a bonus for everyone - all buyers. Do you know he sold over 5,000 packs of that product? And every one of those customers now sees my video with "Tiffany from TiffanyLambert.com" branded in it?

They see me being helpful. Matt then goes on after the launch ended (I ranked #5 out of over 1,500 affiliates and beat out people like Todd Gross and Paul Counts - who I never in a million years thought I'd beat) and he makes another video telling all of the affiliates in his private training (which was a neat idea in itself) that my bonus video he included is what helped keep refunds down to 1%!

In the competition, I was up against almost all guys with huge lists - we're talking 100K lists and more. Mine's at around 10-11k at any given time. But my list is also fiercely loyal and they trust my recommendations. So my conversion rate was well over 30% the entire time (up in the 40s at times). Many people ran paid ads. I didn't. 

So branding-wise, all these top marketers saw me there and started reaching out to me, curious because they hadn't heard of me or we just hadn't been introduced yet. We befriended each other (networking!), and they shared the leaderboard on their FB walls, exposing my name more to their customers who may become my customers. 

ALL of this was due to the fact that I a.) make myself available and b.) take time to help customers remove buying concerns by showing them the solution. 

I never set out promoting this for prizes or anything - I only won 5th place anyway (the only woman and the only American - representing, y'all! LOL). What I promoted it for was because it was extremely cheap (less than $0.01 per email) and I knew it could come in handy for something many of us hate doing - writing CTA emails (call to action) to get the click through. So I didn't think about creating a big bonus or anything. I just helped. 

The exposure in the competition is a side benefit that will pay off in the long run. So keep this in mind when you choose things to promote, make something to help one person (ask if you can use it for more people), etc. Look for opportunities like that which come naturally instead of just scrolling down the contest tab to see who's offering what in prize money - that's never a good way to choose what to promote to your audience. Think on a broader scale of what your help can do for others, and eventually for you. 

ANOTHER lesson - this time for vendors: There are some sales going on that are just TOO many options, too confusing. I go to the JV page and they're running about 5-12 different types of sales all at once. I'm lost. Not sure what's best. I don't have time to pick through and try to figure it out. 

In some cases, less is more. Spread the deals out rather than say you can go in a dozen different directions. Because what happened is, I closed the JV page. Not interested in the hassle of figuring out which route to take. 

A New PLR Store from an Old Friend 

Lisa Stoops, who used to sell PLR a long time ago and did some of our challenges with us (Video blogging, etc.) contacted me with a review copy of her new PLR for a store she's calling Content Starters. 

Her pack on sale is called How To Grow Your Business with 5-Day Challenges and it walks readers from start to finish on how to host their own five-day challenge. These are great for engaging your audience, which ultimately helps them develop loyalty to you because you get them taking action. 

Here is what's included in this content starter pack:

9-Page Report (4141 words) outlining: 5 Blog Posts 9 Social Media Images

You can pick it up on sale here for under $10:

Foray Into Fiction

For those following along with this trainwreck of a journey for me LOL - I promise I WILL have success again.

Okay I'm heading out to run some errands and when I get back I'm going to post some more video bonuses and more on the Master Domaining review implementation, too. 

Oh! And get this - forgot to tell y'all this. Some guy yesterday apparently bought something from my store and the system glitched and the file had no content. So he emails me, right Then IMMEDIATELY somehow finds my home phone # and CALLS me.

Big no. 

He starts off blabbering about how he's connected and knows so and so (marketers). I say "Not interested" and hang up. He then proceeds to text me from another number demanding to know why I blocked his other #, telling me that's not good business, he's connected (again), etc. THEN he tells me he bought something, etc. I told him to email my support email. He said he did right before I called. 

Um CREEPY!

Y'all, do not go calling people at their home. Unless you specifically are given some sort of customer service number, just realize that email is the way to go with this (or support desk, etc.). 

I ended up instantly refunding him, which made him even MORE angry because he wanted his content. I don't want to do business with people who feel the need to call me seconds after they email me...for PLR! 

So then he started threatening me. My hunch was right. Just wanted to let y'all know that is so not an appropriate way to handle tech issues or any other issues with work at home entrepreneurs. 

Tiff ;)

P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
