Email Templates to Help Affiliate Marketers

The most effective way to increase your affiliate revenue is to establish genuine relationships with the affiliate managers of the programs that you participate in.

 

in some cases, affiliate networks and forms are simply too hard to completely realize your potential. So Having Email Outreach Templates for Affiliate Marketers will solve most of your communication problems.

 

• First and foremost, what happens if you are not accepted into either a networked or self-hosted training program?

Most of the time, when you submit your application via an online form or through a network, you are unfortunately one step removed from the Affiliate Manager’s actual inbox, where you can easily get buried under other applications or forgotten.

 

• Second, what should you do if you do not receive a response to your application, if it is rejected, or if it remains in Pending Status for several weeks?

The most significant impact you can have is by becoming friends with not just the Affiliate Manager, but also with their Content Team and other leaders so that you become firmly embedded in their company and they come to rely on you for sales.

 

Promotion opportunities such as co-marketing, link building, social promotion, inclusion in their emails, and co-branded landing pages are available as a result of this partnership.

 

Moreover, the truth is that it doesn’t take many sales to achieve this goal.

 

In the end, email outreach is the most effective way to communicate with a real person and increases your chances of being accepted into more programs, increasing your commissions, moving from rejected to approved status, and being promoted by the very advertisers you’re promoting.

 

The following steps must be taken in order to locate the relevant Affiliate Marketing contact

 

1. Find the person’s name on LinkedIn by searching for it: Find the company, then confine your search to only those individuals within the company who have the word “Affiliate” in their title.

 

2. Once you have the Affiliate Manager’s name, you can use a tool such as Hunter to find out their email address for further investigation.

 

3. Send one of the email templates listed below, depending on your objectives.

 

These email templates serve four purposes

1. Get accepted into more affiliate programs
2. Receive commission increases
3. Reverse application rejections
4. Befriend and ingrain yourself in their company for links and promotions
5. Receive co-branded landing pages to increase your conversion rates

 

Please use these email swipes to find success in your affiliate marketing journey. All you have to do is change the content within the brackets and make it your own.

Hey [First Name],

 

My name’s [Your Name] and I run the website [Your Website]. I applied to your affiliate program a few days ago and just wanted to check on the status of my application. I’d love to start promoting [Company Name].

 

[Add a value prop here. For example: My site currently gets [XXX] visits/month and I write about [topic related to company].

 

Note: If you’re a new site and don’t have much traffic yet, instead of the value prop above, say:

 

“I just launched my blog but I’m actively working on new content and building Domain Authority. As I write about [topic related to Company], my goal is to rank for some of these non-brand terms over time. I’d love to get started now and work with you over time.”]

 

Please let me know what you think and I’m looking forward to hearing back.

My name’s [Your Name] and I recently applied for your affiliate program but my application was not approved.

 

I just wanted to check in and see if there was a reason why my application was rejected and if there was anything I could do to re-apply and join your program.

 

[Add traffic sources and value prop here. For example: I currently drive traffic via [Your Promotional Methods]. My site currently gets [XXX] visits/month and I think I would be a good fit to promote you because I write about [topic related to company].

 

Note: If you’re a new site and don’t have much traffic yet, instead of the value prop above, say: “I launched my site recently and am actively working on new content and building up authority in your niche.”]
