8. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing may be a robust approach for rapidly expanding a user base. There is little danger and a lot of potential gains. You incur a cost only when a user completes the desired action on your site.
This is how it works:
1. Affiliates are given their own URL.
To determine which affiliate is responsible for a certain amount of clicks
2. Affiliate markets your product
There are a variety of methods an affiliate may use to promote your product. They can employ AdWords, and other paid advertising methods, create a podcast or video for YouTube, send out cold emails, publish blog entries, and so on. You can do everything you set your mind to.
3. The user makes a purchase
An affiliate’s hard work pays off when one of their referrals becomes a paying client.
4. Commission paid to the affiliate for
You may think of affiliate marketing as outsourced marketing. This is because you only pay for visitors brought in by third parties if they become paying clients. Also, search engine optimization (SEO) benefits greatly from affiliate marketing because of the additional content and backlinks to your site that is generated.
Affiliate marketing is an excellent strategy for getting Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and prominent bloggers to write about your brand. Bloggers and influencers love passive income, so you can be sure they’d be at least mildly interested in being paid for their participation.
PartnerStack is an excellent way to get started with affiliate marketing. Their platform is focused on turning your customers and influencers into marketers who help develop your business.
9. Advertising
Online advertising is another way to reach your target audience of early adopters and potential customers. In a short time, advertising items like search and display advertisements may bring in thousands of qualified leads. However, if you want your ads to be successful, you need to make sure they present the benefits of your product in the most compelling way possible.
Try out multiple age ranges and niches in your ad campaigns before committing to one. This facilitates finding your target demographic among the many users of these ad networks.
That way, you can concentrate your advertising efforts on your website, collect email addresses, or make sales.
Facebook Advertisement
Facebook’s success is on its ability to let advertisers target certain demographics. You may narrow your focus based on the people, places, and things that interest you (i.e., relocating to a new area, purchasing a home, etc.).
Adidas promoted a soccer-themed marketing campaign on Facebook aimed squarely at soccer fans. The case study claims its Facebook page attracted over a million users and increased brand awareness by 8–21 percent.
10. LinkedIn Messages
If you’re looking for a way to increase your conversion rate, try using LinkedIn messaging instead of cold email. Your cold emails may convert at a low rate for several reasons. Still, one major factor is how impersonal the medium is. Although possible, it is more difficult to convey your credibility, offer, and what your firm does while sounding personable.
Since your LinkedIn contacts can view your whole profile, your message will have a more “human” feel.
You may contact individuals on LinkedIn in two ways:
Direct Messages on LinkedIn
LinkedIn inmails are a way to privately communicate with anyone on LinkedIn who is not already a connection of yours. Still, you are allotted a specific number of inmails each month. Once you’ve used those, you may buy more Inmails for a fee, usually around $10. LinkedIn’s Inmail feature is distinct from the site’s free messaging feature, which allows users to communicate with their contacts via text or a pre-written message.
One such application is reaching out to prospective early adopters outside your existing network. However, they could be more accessible via other social networking platforms.
Sponsored Inmails
Sponsored Inmails are distinct from ordinary Inmails in that they enable you to send out your message to thousands of professionals simultaneously. In contrast, regular Inmails can only be targeted individually.
LinkedIn suggests using this function to promote webinars, e-books, and other content designed to generate leads.
11. Speak at conferences
Conference speaking is a tried and true method of promoting a new business and gaining new clients. Make it your mission to master your field thoroughly so you can confidently approach event planners and volunteer to speak at their gatherings. Schedules for conferences are often determined six to twelve months in advance, so plan ahead if you want to attend.
After attending 239 conferences, Neil Patel found that the ideal tactic is to avoid interacting with one’s peers and focus instead on speaking with one’s future consumers. For example, suppose you’re into SEO; it’s not worth your time or money to attend a conference when everyone else is already an expert in your industry. Instead, you should visit a gaming event and demonstrate how to attract new clients. It resulted in a $100,000 monthly contract for Neil.
Tips to Start Speaking at Events and Conferences
It’s a great PR opportunity. Sending a representative to speak at industry events helps to maintain the company’s standing as a leader in the field and the distribution channel. Consider creating a special hashtag for your discussion. In addition to potentially reaching more individuals in real-time, the discussion may continue after the event ends.
It’s good for the industry. Conferences allow professionals in an industry to network with one another and brainstorm solutions to problems that affect the whole industry. Conferences play an important part in the advancement of businesses and sectors via networking and the sharing of ideas, and speakers play a vital role in this process.
Generate leads. Acquire contacts (email addresses, names, handshakes, friendships) and future clients (client inquiries) from influential people in your field.
It’s a huge brainstorming session. If you want to get people thinking about their businesses and what they could/should be doing, giving a talk at a conference is a terrific way to accomplish that.
Speaking comes with perks. In most cases, the speaker is exempt from paying the full registration price (which might be several hundred dollars) for the conference. Not bad for preparing and presenting a topic you already know. Plus, speakers get the opportunity to get up with colleagues and meet new partners in the company.
