TripleClicks offers over 80,000 commissionable products with close to 4,000 ECAs in 145 countries according to the latest stats from SFI Weekly News of July 20, 2015. Your potential of earning commissions by promoting TC products from your favorite ECAs is unlimited.
From the vast number of ECAs to choose from, I will start connecting with ECAs from my country/region and promote their products for the following reasons:
- Create awareness of TripleClicks and drive the sales of local ECAs.
- Benefit from cheaper shipping rates, faster delivery.
- Avoid tariff or taxes imposed on imported goods
To promote the products of your favorite ECAs and earn commissions:
- Start blogging
Run a blog associated with your favorite ECAs’ products (promotion links can be found at the bottom of the ECAs’ web page). To be effective employ content marketing. By producing free, valuable content, you will create trust in your brand and keep people informed. Blogging also gives you something to share on social media and helps you rank in search engines.
A simple yet highly effective way to get started with content marketing for your favorite ECAs’ products is to think of all the starting-point queries people have about these products and their corresponding industries. Using your blog, you can answer these queries as individual articles.
Additionally, you can use your blog to offer tips, tutorials, and resources related to the products you’re promoting and the lifestyle around these products.
If you can create epic content on a fairly regular basis, you’ll begin to see the power of content marketing via social media shares, search engines, and so forth.
Furthermore you can share your experience about the products and how you have benefited from them. Testimonials and word of mouth are powerful driving force behind 20-50% of all purchasing decisions, be sure to include others who have benefited from the products you’re promoting.
- Email marketing
Having a list of emails from your potential customers means you can get your information, products, and content into their personal mailboxes. You can start building your email list by including an email subscription form on your website to promote your favorite ECAs’ products. Here’s an effective way to convince visitors to sign up for your list: Instead of simply saying “Join our Newsletter,” offer an incentive or some type of value for signing up. This could be in the form of an E-book about the many benefits of the products you’re promoting or TC Gift Cards to encourage people to join.
- Find Forums to network with
Online discussion forums are excellent places to give out industry tips and advice and to answer questions. By offering your tips and advice as well as answering questions, you’re giving value to the forum members and you’ll get them interested about your offer.
Use Google to search out some active forums that may directly relate to your niche. When you post, ensure you aren’t breaking any forum rules when you promote your brand or products. Get to know the limits and restrictions of the forum, and stick to them. Using your forum avatar, signature, and profile page to promote your brand are usually well within the rules.
You may feel the temptation to post and promote wildly, but keep it professional. No forum will tolerate constant promotion or posts full of links to your website. Besides, acting in such a way online will damage your brand in the eyes of other forum users. So, keep it simple by posting just enough for people to notice your activity, but not enough to constitute spam.
There are other effective ways of promoting your favorite ECAs’ products through Social media such as tweeting on Twitter, making connections on LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Depending on your time, you should focus one marketing method at a time to gain valuable experience and at the same time find out for yourself what best suits to your personality type.
