Nothing quite beats the joy of seeing your first few affiliate sales coming in. You’ve been looking at your stats daily and finally, your efforts are yielding fruit. Once this happens, most affiliates ramp up their efforts to get more sales and commissions. After all, progress is happiness and success breeds success. While affiliate marketing on WarriorPlus can be very lucrative, if you truly wish to skyrocket your earnings exponentially, you may wish to become a vendor too. Of course, this will require more work such as product creation, building a funnel, providing customer support and so on. But your extra effort will have a massive effect on your bottom-line. Let’s see how becoming a WarriorPlus vendor will benefit you… * Builds a buyer list We’ve all heard that the money is in the list, and your relationship with the subscribers on that list. What’s often overlooked is that there are two types of lists – a buyer/customer list and a list of people who are just ‘interested’. A buyer list is infinitely more valuable than a list of freebie seekers or those who are just interested in reading your emails, but not willing to buy anything. When you’re a vendor, you’ll be able to build a list of buyers. This will allow for repeat sales in future and you can also promote affiliate products to them. In other words, being a vendor will improve your performance as an affiliate too. * Increases your credibility People automatically look at someone who is selling their own products as an authority in the scene. By becoming a vendor, you’ll increase your credibility and look like a real player in the game rather than a spectator at the stands cheering for your winning team. Being a vendor helps you build your brand as you create a line of products that will generate sales for you over and over. * Helps generate more sales Vendors are also able to ‘reciprocate’ for other vendors’ launches. This term often has a negative connotation because marketers blindly promote each other just to increase sales. Nary a thought is given to the quality of the product. However, if done right, reciprocation is a very powerful ‘tool’ to help you generate more sales and profit. For example, if you’ve released a WordPress plugin and another vendor promotes your product, in future, you can promote their WordPress theme when they are having a launch. This is just an example, but you get the idea. One hand washes the other. That’s reciprocation in a nutshell, and as long as the customers are not being short-changed, you’re golden. You can’t do this as an affiliate because you have no product that anyone can reciprocate for. All you’re doing is promoting other people’s launches – and that’s leaving money on the table. * More flexibility As a WarriorPlus vendor, you’ll have access to the thousands of affiliates on the platform. While most won’t do much for your sales, there are enough good affiliates out there whom you can recruit to promote your product. You’ll get more sales and if your product sells well, your affiliates will be much more likely to promote your future products. * The benefits of WarriorPlus The platform itself makes a very compelling case as to why you should be a vendor. It’s a stable platform with a plethora of options and features for you to use to ramp up your sales. There’s tracking, stats, pixels, the ability to build unlimited funnels, a choice of how your buy buttons will look, PayPal and Stripe payment processor options and much more. It’s easy and relatively intuitive to use (once you get the hang of it) and there are many tutorial videos on YouTube to guide you. There’s even a Facebook group where you can get support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wrplus/ It’s free to list your products on WarriorPlus and they only take a small percentage of your sale when you sell. So, you’re not out of pocket if you’ve not generated any sales. This is useful to the budget-conscious vendor who is just starting out. By now, you’ll realize that being a vendor on WarriorPlus will open many more opportunities for you to grow your business and scale up your income. Affiliate marketing is great, but being a vendor is definitely something to aim for. You may never look back after that.
WarriorPlus 101 A Quick Guide for Affiliates
The WarriorPlus platform, just like most platforms, comes with a learning curve. This is to be expected because of the sheer number of features and options available. It’s common to be overwhelmed when you’re starting out as an affiliate on WarriorPlus. You may not know what some of the terms mean or how to get your affiliate link and so on. Don’t panic. This article will answer some of the most common questions that affiliates have. Now let’s look at the common questions… 1. How do I get my affiliate link? Firstly, you should have sent the vendor an affiliate request. Once the vendor approves you request, you’ll receive an email telling you your request has been approved. Click on the link in the email and sign in to WarriorPlus – and your link will be there waiting for you. 2. How do I add a bonus to my affiliate link? To add a bonus, you’ll first need to be approved. Then click on the ‘Get Link’ button next to the product name. You’ll see a field that says “Buyer Bonus URL”. Add the URL to your bonus file here. You’ll need to host the bonus file on your own server. If you wish to add bonuses to the upsells in the funnel, you’ll need to click on the offer’s name (product). You’ll then see 3 tabs saying – Overview, Funnel Map and Products. Click on the ‘Products’ tab. Now you’ll see the products in the funnel, and next to each product there will be a little gift basket icon. Click on this icon and you’ll be able to add your bonus URL to these upsells. This is also the place where you can see the entire sales funnel by clicking on the funnel map. Hopefully the vendor you’re promoting has not gone overboard and added tons of upsells/downsells. You’d want to steer clear of such offers. 3. What is the WarriorPlus wallet? The wallet is a way for your commissions to be held, and you can withdraw the sum at one go to your PayPal account. This is better for keeping the vendor’s PayPal account safe. A single transaction is better than multiple small transactions of money going in and out almost immediately. You always want to avoid making the PayPal algorithm detect suspicious activity – even if you’re perfectly legitimate. Depending on your affiliate score, the length of time your commissions will be delayed will vary. New affiliates may have a 30-day delay while experienced and reputable affiliates may have a delay of just a few days or even no delay at all. 4. What do the terms ‘hops’ and ‘pulse’ mean? Hops just refers to the number of times people click on your affiliate links. The ‘pulse’ of a product refers to it’s popularity and how many affiliates are making sales from it. The pulse score will decline over time, but that is not a reflection of the product’s quality or how well it will convert. Generally, these 2 metrics aren’t really that important when promoting a product. They give you an idea of a product’s conversion during a launch, but other than that, they don’t matter. You can still pull in lots of affiliate sales even if you’ve not glanced once at the pulse or hops. Keep the main thing the main thing – and the main thing is your promotion efforts. 5. Where can I find offers to promote? Click on this link and you’ll see a whole list of products you can promote: https://warriorplus.com/affiliate/offers 6. Where can I see my daily affiliate stats? Here you go: https://warriorplus.com/affiliate/stats You can sort your stats by date range too. 7. How do I know where I stand in a JV contest? To see the contest leaderboard for a product you’re promoting, you’ll first need to go to the affiliate dashboard and click on ‘Offers’. Then find the product you’re promoting. You can either do a search by the vendor’s name or the product title. Once you find the product listing, if there’s a contest, you’ll see a little gift basket icon on the left of the product name. Click on it and you’ll be taken to the affiliate sign up page and there will be a link to the contest at the bottom of the page. Click on the contest link and you’ll see the leaderboard. 8. How do I see my affiliate score, refunds, etc?

5 Things Every Internet Marketing Millionaire Does
There are a handful of people out there that are internet marketing millionaires, and the list is growing steadily. The internet is simply the place to make money and internet marketing is the way to do it. But what makes these millionaires different from the Internet Marketers that are earning a pittance with their affiliate websites and eBooks? There are five things that internet marketing millionaires do that separate them from the rest of the pack. Let’s take a look at them. They don’t waste time: Internet marketers that have had as much success as the handful of millionaires didn’t get there by allowing time. Entrepreneurs see everything as urgent. They promote their products as urgency products. Psychology has shown that people’s deliberate thought processes are suspended when there is an urgent situation in front of them. You need to harness that urgency and use it to make money. They know the value of scarcity: Think about the Bitcoin. If someone had created the Bitcoin with an unlimited amount that could be mined, it would never have become as successful as it has. But with only 21,000,000 Bitcoin that will ever be in existence, just owning a single Bitcoin has now become worth thousands of dollars. They leverage the principle of exclusivity: Think about a red-carpet event. If you asked ten people if they wanted to go to an exclusive, red-carpet event, half of them will say yes without even knowing what it is. The fact that it is exclusive and they have the opportunity to attend is enough. They work with the idea of reciprocation: Millionaires in internet marketing know that they have to use the value of reciprocation if they want to be successful. If someone gives you a Christmas present, you feel obligated to get them a Christmas present back. This can be a very effective strategy when used in marketing. Giving a customer something for free – even before they buy – will make them want to buy from you even more. They commit to what they do: Finally, internet marketing millionaires know that the only thing standing between them and the success that they want is hard work. So, they commit to whatever project that they are considering and then follow through with that commitment. They finish each and every project that they begin, because they know that fulfilling that commitment is the key to success.
