Takeaways from this episode: – One important factor that determines whether your online business is going to succeed or not, is the amount of traffic you get. Traffic is worth a huge amount of money. – Give your affiliates sales commissions for every sale, including upsells. Also, consider using lifetime cookies. – Fight the scarcity mindset, be generous with affiliate commissions. Over the long term, goodwill and trust will create a larger pie for everybody. – Be careful with coupon codes. You don’t want your brand to rely on discounts. Also want all your affiliates (and customers), to feel like they’re treated equally. – For digital products, it is common to give a 30-50% affiliate commission.

Takeaways from this episode: - Assuming you want to optimize your offerings to generate more revenue, the only way to find out what to offer is through testing. - Split testing can be incredibly hard unless you have a huge amount of traffic. Offering different prices to different segments of your audience can also lead to confusion amongst your audience. - Don’t copy others, the key is to find out what’s stopping your audience from buying in the first place. - If you don’t have the resources to test: simple is usually best!
