1 Retweet = 1 insight for Affiliate Marketing on Twitter
1. Fuck what you’ve been told, you need an audience to make money as an affiliate marketer.

Anyone saying otherwise is selling you something.

With that said, it doesn’t have to be your audience.
2. Promote products that are already selling.

Much easier to get someone to buy from you than to convince them to buy in the first place.

Good sales pages, good copy, great testimonials, money-back guarantee, lots of 5-star ratings

This rules out +50% of Gumroad products
3. Relying on the product creator to retweet your affiliate promotion is piss poor marketing.

Why would they retweet you and lose money they would of made promoting their own link to THEIR audience?

Some will retweet your tweets - if you get creative.
4. Speaking of Retweets,

Promotions with your own testimonial >> “buy this it’s cool (and I get 50%)”
5. If possible, affiliate for subscriptions that earn your commissions every month.

Sell once, continue getting paid

Examples:

Hypefury
Utopia
Products for Profit
Onlyfans
etc.
6. If promoting a monthly subscription, one way to bring on aff sales is to offer the first month free or half off.

Easier to get people to join and if they like it they will stay.

Sure, you miss out on the first month, but you continue earning as long as they subscribe
7. I know some people make aff sales by closing in the DMs.

Unless it’s a higher priced product or a monthly subscription, you are likely wasting your time.

Not worth spending 30 minutes trying to close a $20 aff commission.
8. People sell Twitter Aff Marketing courses (hell even I have one)

If their pitch is “look how much money I’ve made” and not “here’s how much I’ve helped others make”

Chances are their product can’t get results for you.

Anyone can get lucky once.
9. To make sales, you need link clicks.

To get link clicks, you need traffic.

To get traffic outside of having a large following:

-Run giveaways for the product and make people RT to win. Those interested will click the link and get cookied. If they buy in 30 days = $$$
10. If it seems like everyone is selling a proven product on the timeline, find a new angle.

Remember, you only have to convince people to buy from you.

Easy to do when others are only pushing a link every 4 hours.

Not many people are creative, use it to your advantage.
11. Create products that complement the offer and give them away as bonuses to anyone who purchases using your affiliate link

- this tip alone will make you thousands
12. Write evergreen threads that lead readers to the aff link

People don’t want to see you pushing offers all day on the timeline

Provide value in a thread then gently drop an aff link in there

This will make sure people who are interested in the content see the link
13. Always be testing

How else will you know your promo tweets are working.

While the ultimate goal is aff sales, customers have to click the link first.

Keep polishing your tweets until they are optimized to get link clicks from people who are interested in the product
14. Leave Linktree in the past. If you want to have multiple offers in your bio, use @carrd

You can create great landing pages to better promote your aff links.

My Carrd referral link: https://try.carrd.co/ffz3wpwj 

Take it a step further and create sales pages for each aff product
15. You probably have too many affiliate links.

Go through the ones you have and ask:

- is this a good product?
- if my grandmother bought this, would I be okay with it?
- If the commission was lower, would I still recommend it?

This will clear out lower quality products
16. People charging to make you an affiliate for their product is a DIRECT response to the influx of people trying to make money affiliating for a product about 'making money' than just using the course and making money from it.

I would charge you all too.
17. Twitter doesn't like users sending people off their site.

Not recommended to use links in your first tweet - will kill your impressions

Instead, write an initial tweet to get engagement, then casually add your affiliate offer in the next tweet.
18. Disclose your affiliate relationships so people can make an informed decision if they want to buy the product.

This goes back to only promoting good products - you wouldn't need to hide that you are an affiliate unless you know they wouldn't buy without your endorsement
19. If you don't have a following, grow one.

1. Get @oliviercantin free Twitter course (the only one you will need).
2. Get @WritingToRiches Make It Stick to learn how to write tweets to get engagement (to post your links under)
3. Engagement group [optional]
20. I would say "organize your affiliate links", but you shouldn't have that many link to need to organize them.

Keep the 80/20 rule in mind and go hard on the products that actually sell.

This will save you time and make you more
21. Create shortcuts on your keyboard (mobile) to your affiliate links.

TIME SAVER
22. Instead of spending all day on Twitter, schedule your engagement driven tweets using Hypefury and use their 'auto-plug' feature to plug your aff promos when they take off.

Use my affiliate link to try Hypefury free for 14-days: http://bit.ly/Hypefury 
23. Instead of throwing links on your Linktree (would stop using) or Carrd, give people an idea of what they are clicking on.

See the link in my bio for an example.

*guess which one gets the most clicks
24. Creators: add a family member as an affiliate for your products (+10%) and use that link when promoting your product on the timeline. Keep the money you earned via link click while treating a loved one.

25. Truth is, you could follow everything in this thread and someone with +100k followers could simply post an aff link with no copy and out perform you.

You need an audience

Grow one.
26. Buying retweets has a negative ROI

UNLESS you position it correctly

Use quote retweets (5-10) to slowly introduce yourself to someone’s following.

Retweets with offers work only if your copy is 🔥 and it’s a HUGE audience
27. Do not ask someone to affiliate for their product if you haven’t bought it.

Best option: buy and use the product to get results THEN ask to be an affiliate

-you have a personal testimonial to help with promoting it

-creator knows you are promoting it because it’s helpful
28. Once you become an affiliate, take out a piece of paper and list the benefits of buying the product.

-should be easy to do if it’s a good product.

Use the list when writing your tweets.

No one cares that it’s 5 hours long.

They care about what it can do for them.
29. If you are aff marketing and you’ve made more money affiliating for affiliate marketing guides than other products, you aren’t affiliate marketing.

If any product’s key feature is that you can be an affiliate for it
30. Sell value, not hype

People hype products because they like the creator - not the product

Pay attention to the testimonials

Are they saying “this course did what it promised” or “so cool dude - please notice me”

Example of a good product *aff link https://bit.ly/coldemailwiz 
31. As fun as the affiliate notifications are, don't fill your timeline up with promotions.

If people wanted to see a promotional post every other tweet, they would go to IG.

Provide value to your followers and build trust so they will ASK you for affiliate links
32. General Rule

When trying to get retweets from larger accounts, testimonials have a HIGH success rate.

Accounts are more likely to retweet tweets serving as social proof their product/service/account/email list is good.

*do whatever you please with that
33. For those considering joining engagement groups, here are some guidelines I created after being in multiple ones that went south fast.
34. If you are promoting a Gumroad product, consider leaving a 5-star rating on the product (if it’s good)

It’s only social proof - the thing that helps the product sell.
