Affiliate Tip: How to write great affiliate copy!
Affiliates ask for information about writing copy that will help them earn more as an affiliate. They realize good copy isn't just about words. Rather, it's about more detail, and more useful information tailored specifically to their target audience. When writing your own copy, structure your text for the greatest impact.
- Pull your readers in
- Introduce WasecaAlums.com
- Explain what WasecaAlums.com can do for your readers
- Send your readers to WasecaAlums.com
No one reads everything they come across. To convince your audience that your text is worth reading, make your first sentence or two very interesting. Make a bold statement, say something seemingly ridiculous, or appeal to your prospect's emotional side. Then, tie this grabber in with the rest of your copy, and you'll have a reader for life (or at least to the end of your copy).
Introduce WasecaAlums.com
What is WasecaAlums.com? How can it help your readers?
Directly after your grabber, give a compact explanation of WasecaAlums.com. Keep this explanation short, while still being very clear. A web site for Waseca alumni is unique in that, although it can be of use to almost any Waseca alumni, few people fully understand how it can help them. If more people knew, then more people would buy. This is your chance to tell them; take it!
Explain what WasecaAlums.com can do for your readers
By writing your own copy you ensure that your advertising will directly target your unique audience. Make the most of this opportunity! No one knows your readers like you do. Clearly explain how your readers will benefit from becoming a member of WasecaAlums.com. Give examples, and suggest interesting uses. This is the section for details.
Send your Readers to WasecaAlums.com
You've come so far - you've laid out exactly what WasecaAlums.com is, and how it will help your readers. Now, seal the deal - tell your readers to become members of WasecaAlums.com! Include your affiliate link in this section.
This step may sound unnecessary but it isn't. People may be genuinely interested in a product, but fail to actually make a purchase. A clear call to a action cuts down on buyer ambivalence. Don't be pushy - just change your verb tenses to the imperative.
Instead of saying:
"You might want to think about becoming a member of WasecaAlums.com."
Say this instead (if you're using plain text): "Click the following link and become a WasecaAlums.com member today!" http://www.WasecaAlums.com/index.cfm?affID=******
Or say this instead (if you're using html): <a href="http://www.WasecaAlums.com/index.cfm?affID=******">Click here and become a WasecaAlums.com member today!</a>
Substitute your Affiliate Id for "******".
