4. Email Campaign

We recommend sending 2 or 3 emails with your links to the sales page.

They can be plain text emails with links to the sales page. You can include images, but they aren't necessary.

Email 1: Announce the offer and highlight the key benefits

Email 2: Share student testimonials to build trust

Email 3: Send friendly reminder of the deadline

Most sales happen on the day of the deadline. So it's helpful to send a friendly reminder.

If you only send two emails, it's best if one of them is on the morning of the deadline.

This chart shows actual results from an affiliate campaign.

All three emails helped to make the promotion successful. In our experience, 50% of all sales happen on the last day.

The key is to get your subscribers to click on the sales page link so they can check out the course and make the right decision.

Then follow these steps:

1. In the menu bar, click on "Dashboard" to reveal the dropdown menu

2. Click on "Affiliate dashboard" to go to your affiliate area

How is affiliate tracking done?

Does it rely on a cookie, an IP address, or both?

We use a platform called Systeme.io to host our courses, power the website, and send emails. It also handles the affiliate program.

Systeme.io set up an affiliate system for people to promote their own platform, and use the same tracking for customers of Systeme.io who set up their own affiliate program like us with Launch Excel.

You can find their affiliate marketplacehere. This lists all open offers and affiliate programs that use Systeme.io.

To read their help page explaining how their affiliate platform works, click here.

Here is a summary of the help page:

- It operates a last-cookie system, meaning it's the last affiliate link the customer clicked on that will receive the benefit.

- It is a lifetime affiliation. The contacts you send are marked in the database with your affiliate ID, so even if they don't buy anything until 6 months or a year later, you will still earn commissions on their purchases.

- Affiliate ID is added to a referral's email address. Systeme.io thinks this is more effective than using cookies.

How long do I qualify for commissions on a lead?

If I send a lead who clicks on the course page today but doesn’t buy for another 3 months, do I get a commission?

Systeme.io marks any lead as your referral if they opt-in through your link.

It's different from a cookie-based system. They don't track visitors (clicks on your link) unless they have opted into a signup form, or order form, after clicking on a link with your affiliate ID.

That's why it's vital for you to use your affiliate ID in all links you send.

Once a customer has opted in by email, they become your referral for life.

When they buy any further products in the affiliate program, you earn an affiliate commission.

How do I see the list of my leads?

Log into Systeme.io. Click on Dashboard. Then select Affiliate Dashboard.

This shows you all the leads who opted in via email. It also shows your commissions.

Currently, Systeme.io does not show a count of visitors who have clicked on your affiliate links. It only shows people who have signed up via email.

I have submitted a feature request to their roadmap, so I hope this feature becomes available in the future.

Why is my affiliate ID not showing in the sales page URL?

I notice that my Affiliate ID does not show on a sales page URL.

Why is that? And does that mean I don't get the referral?

This can happen when we run A/B split testing.

We often test the sales page using two versions (ver A and ver B). We then track conversion rates to optimize our designs.

Sometimes there is a quirk with the course platform. When this happens, your affiliate ID does not appear on one of the A/B pages.

This affects the URL in Chrome but not on Edge.

But, as long as a lead clicks on a link with your affiliate ID, they are saved as yours.

So you will still get any purchase they make. Even though the URL in the address bar doesn't show your affiliate ID.

Using the A/B split test does not interfere with affiliate tracking, but it may affect the visible URL.
