Social media has made tracking more complicated. If you’re only tracking quantitative data, you’re missing a very important piece of the puzzle.    On today’s episode, host Mandy McEwen encourages marketers to get with the times. Ten years ago, marketing was very SEO-focused, and social media was just there to make your brand look good, not to generate leads. But things have shifted. Just because you can’t always track your branding quantitatively doesn’t mean it’s not a huge part of ROI. You can’t underestimate the power of posting valuable content, building relationships across social media channels, and word of mouth. It’s the future of marketing. It’s also trackable. You just have to get creative. Listen in as Mandy makes a compelling case for tracking qualitative ROI and practical tips for doing it well. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Ways to creatively track your unquantifiable data on social mediaHow to generate revenue in unconventional waysWhy you shouldn’t put links in your LinkedIn posts (and what to do instead)How to help your team if they’re struggling with tracking qualitatively LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:LumineticsMod Girl Marketing OUR PARTNERS:7 Levels of Scale WorkbookFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Listen to the #1 Digital Marketing Podcast, Perpetual Traffic Thanks so much for joining us this week.

People tell this entrepreneur he gives his affiliates way too much money, but he doesn’t care.    On today’s episode, host Mark de Grasse sits down with Aurelien Amacker, founder of Systeme.io, a simple, affordable all-in-one business-building tool for solopreneurs. What’s unique about Systeme is that affiliate sales make up 60-70% of their revenue. Aurelien has developed an affiliate program that’s unique for several reasons. 1.) Instead of a few big influencers, he has an “army” of 400-500 affiliates. 2.) He pays 40% in lifetime commissions. 3.) There’s a second tier on top of that one for promoting the affiliate program itself. It’s a brilliant business model and a win-win for everyone. Listen in as Aurelien shares how he does it and why it works so well. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Why his commission percentage is so high (and why he won’t lower it) Why his program is nothing like an MLM or pyramid schemeHow they get 2000+ leads every dayHow their affiliate tracking system works and why their affiliates love it LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Systeme.io OUR PARTNERS:7 Levels of Scale WorkbookFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Listen to the #1 Digital Marketing Podcast, Perpetual Traffic Thanks so much for joining us this week.
