So, in this blog post I\u2019m going to brainstorm about some\ninteresting and hopefully valuable ideas about how to promote ClickFunnels as\nan affiliate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, I\u2019d like to quickly talk about why I think that\nthe ClickFunnels affiliate program rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a few reasons why ClickFunnels is a really nifty affiliate program:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ClickFunnels has a bunch of cool offers that you can promote, and most of those offers have some type sales funnel with different upsells.<\/li><li>The ClickFunnels team has lots of experience creating and marketing funnels, so they have a bunch of different appealing offers.<\/li><li>Some of their affiliate offers include automated webinars, and high-ticket products that you can promote.<\/li><li>ClickFunnels is always launching cool new offers that you can promote.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Is The Ideal\nProspect For ClickFunnels Affiliates?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we talk about how to promote ClickFunnels, first it\u2019s\nimportant to brainstorm who uses ClickFunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because, in my honest opinion, one of the most important\nkeys to a successful affiliate marketing campaign, is knowing who your end user\nis, also known as your ideal prospect, and knowing what problems they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, it will be easy for you to create awesome and\nhelpful content to help attract, and relate to your audience, right? This is my\nhumble two cents at least, and I honestly believe that this is sound affiliate\nmarketing (and in general marketing) theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any event, let\u2019s talk about who uses ClickFunnels, and\nwho could benefit the most from ClickFunnels?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ClickFunnels is essentially an \u201call in one\u201d business and\nmarketing software that enables small business owners to advertise, promote,\nsell, and deliver their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So ClickFunnels is perfect for many small business owners\nwho wish to generate leads, to market their products, manage the sales of their\nproducts, promote their products, or even manage an email newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, this includes a massively huge potential\naudience, which is a really exciting prospect for ClickFunnels affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s brainstorm for a minute from different types of\nbusinesses who might want to use ClickFunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which type of small business owner might be interested in\ngenerating leads, and selling their products or services online?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliate marketers, authors, local businesses, nonprofits,\nteachers, affiliate marketers, network marketers, coaches, consultants,\ndentists, real estate agents, gym owners, and also freelancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s just a quick list of different types of business\nowners who, to my knowledge, have used ClickFunnels to some success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you want to learn more about what types of customers have had a positive experience with ClickFunnels? Then check out these interesting case studies by clicking below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s Talk About How\nTo Promote ClickFunnels By Using Share Funnels!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the coolest things about the ClickFunnels affiliate\nprogram is that you can share your Sales Funnel Designs with others, and if\nyour referrals use your Sales Funnel and register for a ClickFunnels account\nusing your link, then you earn a commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So maybe you could create an awesome Lead Generation Funnel,\na cool Automated Webinar Funnel, a cool Sales Funnel, or any type of funnel\nthat you had in mind. You could then SHARE that funnel to your colleagues,\nfriends, customers, students, or readers, and then if they use that funnel, you\ncould potentially earn a commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, you can share your own Sales Funnels with\nother entrepreneurs or small businesses, and if they use it you could very well\nearn a nice commission. This is a really ingenious affiliate marketing referral\nsystem, in my honest opinion, and it\u2019s exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To me, this is one of the coolest ways to promote ClickFunnels and there are so many powerful ideas that you could brainstorm using this single feature alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Maybe you could contact small businesses in your\narea and offer a free Sales Funnel consultation, where you give a brief\ndemonstration of your favorite Sales Funnels, and show them exactly how they\nwork. If the end user is impressed, then give them the link to your Share\nFunnel affiliate URL.<\/li><li>What if you devoted yourself to helping your\nexisting customers, buyers, marketing friends, or colleagues set up sales\nfunnels, and then simply share your favorite Sales Funnels with them via your\nShare Link after you help them?<\/li><li>Maybe you could create some type of blog\ndedicated to creating and sharing different sales funnels every week? Or, if\nyou want to go above and beyond, maybe you could publish some type of Sales\nFunnel Case Study on a regular interval? Obviously, at the end of the case\nstudy, you could promote your Share Funnel URL. As a nerdy marketing geek, I\nlove this idea. This seems like a very neat, and potentially powerful idea.<\/li><li>Maybe you could create some type of email\nmarketing funnel or email marketing course that promotes 10 of your favorite\nmarketing funnels? You could have a lead capture page headline that said\nsomething like \u201cDo You Want My 10 Best Marketing Funnels Emailed To You For\nFree? Then Register To This 10 Day Give Away Event!\u201d.<\/li><li>Maybe you could create different types of custom\nfunnels, and then create a really cool sales page promoting the funnels, either\nas a gift or for a small fee. You could then promote that sales page via Pay\nPer Click ads.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few ideas that I quickly brainstormed, and\nI hope that these whacky ideas make sense because I personally and honestly\nbelieve that there\u2019s definitely a few cool ideas in this little brainstorming\nsession!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d also like to note, that yes, many of these ideas require\nsubstantial skills, grit, luck, and efforts on your behalf, however, I hope\nthat it provided an exciting brainstorming exercise if nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Promote\nClickFunnels By Promoting The Automated Webinars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a handful of automated webinars that you can\npromote as a ClickFunnels affiliate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that an affiliate webinar works, is that after your\nreferral subscribes to the event, they are then invited to view the\npresentation. The presentation is designed to entertain your end user, to\neducate them, and to also promote some type of product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automated webinars that ClickFunnels provides to their\naffiliates are in my opinion entertaining, fun, and also contain valuable\ninternet marketing insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why that is cool, is because I know that a lot of\nmarketers and self-publishers don\u2019t like selling; so, when you promote a\nwebinar it\u2019s not really a hard pitch, because they\u2019re action packed and usually\ncontain valuable and rare marketing insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, and most importantly, it\u2019s super easy and less\nstressful to simply promote an event, than a product or service. So instead of\nasking your end users to BUY something, you can simply invite them to a\ntraining event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, and in my opinion, the cool thing about\nautomated webinars, is that you\u2019re not asking your end user for the sale\ninitially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Promoting Events Is A Cool Affiliate Marketing Tactic For Those Who Suck At Selling! (Like Me)&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I loathe asking anyone for a sale. I\u2019m the worst\nsalesman in the world. I suck at selling! \u2639<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why I\u2019m a huge fan of promoting automated webinars, or automated training events of some type. Because you don\u2019t really have to sell those types of offers. Instead of selling anything, all you have to do is promote the event itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After your referrals register to the webinar, they\u2019ll\nhopefully have a ton of fun, so even if they DO NOT buy any of the special\noffers, they will at least hopefully have had a good time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point in time, there are at least a couple of automated webinars or automated events that you can promote within the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program that I know of, and once you have your affiliate link, it\u2019s only a matter of promoting that link wherever you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(For more information about a cool event that you can promote, check out The Funnel Builder Secrets affiliate offer within the ClickFunnels Affiliate Dashboard, which is a really cool offer from ClickFunnels!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here Are A Few Cool Ways You Could Promote Your Affiliate Webinar Links, Or Just About Any Affiliate Links!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, let\u2019s brainstorm a few locations where you can promote your automated webinar affiliate links, or any other links really.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you\u2019re an Author, maybe you could have a call\nto action at the end of your books, or maybe even at the footer of your books?<\/li><li>If you have an email marketing newsletter, then\nmaybe you could promote the webinar as a call to action as a \u201cPS\u201d at the end of\nyour emails, or maybe you could even write a full promotional sequence letting\nyour subscribers know about the awesome webinar.<\/li><li>If you\u2019re a blogger, you could promote the\nautomated webinar in your sidebar widget area, or in any other area that your\nblog theme permits.<\/li><li>If you have a Podcast, you could promote the\nevent to your audience.<\/li><li>If you\u2019re an online teacher, maybe you could\nhave a lecture at the end of your course that invites your students to the\npresentation.<\/li><li>If you sell any type of products, you could\ninclude a link to the webinar within your download page, or membership area.<\/li><li>If you do any type of email marketing, or if you\nhave any marketing funnels, you could insert a call to action within your\nexisting or newly brainstormed funnels.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few ideas of where you could promote your\nautomated webinar affiliate links. The cool thing is that, I honestly believe that\nthese ideas could also work for a variety of other links as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, these ideas require varying degrees of skills,\nexpertise, effort, luck, and grit. At the very least, I do hope that they were\nentertaining for you and that you find them well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Promote\nClickFunnels By Having An Email Newsletter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, having an email newsletter is still, in my humble\nopinion, one of the best ways to promote just about anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why email marketing rocks, is because just about\neverybody has an email address, your ideal demographic all most certainly does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same can\u2019t be true for any specific social media\naccounts, any type of app, or any type of operating system. Email is the one\nthing that nearly all of your end users probably have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, ask yourself this one question; what type of email\nnewsletter content can you create, that would be of service and value to your\nideal prospect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This all has to do with knowing your end user and ideal\nprospects. The more you know them, and of course the more you know their pain\npoints, the easier it will be to brainstorm awesome and helpful content, right?\nThis is my humble two cents at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any event, and rant aside, publishing an email newsletter\ncan be one of the best ways to build rapport with your prospects, while also\nsharing valuable content with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my honest opinion, the hardest part about managing and\npublishing a valuable email newsletter, is continually writing high quality\ncontent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it\u2019s important to spend time analyzing your ideal prospect,\nso you can create awesome content that\u2019s designed to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you could brainstorm a weekly email newsletter, or\neven a daily email newsletter, and write down the first 10 or 20 emails that\nyou want to send.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here&#8217;s How I Might Brainstorm This Simple Email Campaign:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe on day 1 you introduce yourself, and talk about some of the biggest insights you have relevent to your niche. Then on the following day, you could talk about the biggest frustrations that you\u2019ve had, and how you could avoid them if you had to do it all over again. Then from then on, you could strive to share some of your best tips and insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice, when writing any email newsletter content, is to\nplan in advance as much as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, you can strive to fight writer\u2019s block. Because\nthe worst thing that can happen, is if you generate leads, and then don\u2019t have\nany cool email newsletter content to send them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait until you start generating email leads to plan and brainstorm your content, try your best to develop some type of email newsletter strategy, so you can always develop new and awesome content ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously. What happens if you build an email list, and subscribers are chomping at the bit for your next edition, but you have an epic case of writer&#8217;s block?! That would be the worst feeling in the world, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So maybe it would be a good idea to write your email newsletter content in advance, so you would always have cool content that you could send on a schedule, or you could otherwise automate that content instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My Favorite Type Of Email Newsletters To Send Are Marketing Tutorials!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The bulk of my email newsletter content is simply marketing tutorials and insights just like the content that I&#8217;m writing now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What type of content would you like to write the most? Maybe your newsletter could contain tips, insights, free courses, or maybe a roundup of your best content? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another idea, that might be easy depending upon if you already have cool content, would be to maybe take some of your existing content that you&#8217;ve already written, and then repurpose that content into some type of email course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly think that the most important thing, is offering some type of valuable content in the first place. Because if your email newsletter content is boring, and if your subscribers ultimately don&#8217;t learn anything new, and if they aren&#8217;t entertained, then your subscribers probably won\u2019t be inclined to stay subscribed, or listen to any product recommendations, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing quality content that people actually read is probably, and realistically one of the biggest challenges when writing blog posts, books, email newsletters, or any published content. So, try your best to focus on awesome content that can benefit your ideal prospect, and remember to include some product recommendations that will hopefully help your subscriber!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My Humble Conclusion\nRegarding How To Promote ClickFunnels As An Affiliate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly hope that you had a ton of fun reading this\nhumble document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really think that ClickFunnels is one of the coolest\naffiliate marketing programs around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They offer a ton of powerful marketing books, affiliate\nwebinars, and also the ClickFunnels software itself which, in my opinion, is\none of the best sales funnel builders on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there are a ton of cool services you can promote as a\nClickFunnels affiliate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main thing, and the main idea that I hoped to convey in\nthis blog post, is that being an affiliate often comes down to creating\npowerful content, and trying your best to help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can successfully create awesome content, that your ideal\nprospects can benefit from, then in my opinion, you\u2019ll probably have better\nluck as an affiliate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, this is a strategy and goal that can go far beyond mere\naffiliate marketing. Being in service of others, is one of the best ways to\nsucceed in any walk of life, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you work for yourself, work for corporate America,\nor work for your own small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strive to be of service to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what type of content you\u2019re creating, try your\nbest to make it awesome. That way, I think you\u2019ll have a much better chance to develop\ngood karma, goodwill, and good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can honestly accomplish that one goal, then I think,\nat the very least, you\u2019ll be headed in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I truly hope that you had a ton of fun reading this\ndocument, because it was a ton of fun to write!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordially and humbly yours\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Mike \u201cBe Of Value\u201d DeVincent<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>MrComputerScience.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check Out These Unusual ClickFunnels Marketing Tips From A Reclusive IT Nerd!
