Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:

1. Integrate Affiliate Marketing into Your Overall Strategy:

Treat affiliate marketing as a core part of your marketing strategy, not just an add-on. This means aligning it with your PPC efforts and overall sales goals, and using platforms like Archer Affiliates to connect with the right influencers and publishers.

2. Set Competitive and Strategic Commission Rates:

Calculate a competitive commission by combining your Amazon brand referral bonus with your advertising cost of sales (ACoS). This will help you attract quality affiliates by offering them a fair share of the profits.

3. Focus on Audience Alignment When Choosing Affiliates:

Ensure that the affiliates you choose have audiences that are genuinely interested in your products. Use platforms like Archer Affiliates and social media to find influencers whose audience aligns with your target market.

This episode is brought to you by eComm Breakthrough Consulting where I help seven-figure e-commerce owners grow to eight figures.

I started Hadley Designs in 2015 and grew it to an eight-figure brand in seven years.

I made mistakes along the way that made the path to eight figures longer. At times I doubted whether our business could even survive and become a real brand. I wish I would have had a guide to help me grow faster and avoid the stumbling blocks.
