Get Your Copy of the Recording from Our Popular Christmas in July Affiliate Marketing Workshop
If you're planning to pitch for holiday gift guides this-coming season, start here!
Good morning, TTC subscribers!
We got to see 43 of your shining faces yesterday, during our 1.5-hour-long Christmas in July workshop! (If you missed it, no worries … you can still purchase the recording + deck and catch up on everything you missed… keep reading!)
Yes, it was only supposed to last an hour … but between Sarah Karger’s brilliant affiliate presentation + our decision to share some real-life examples of affiliate pitches that caught our attention + the clever questions you all submitted in advance, we decided to stay on the call as long as it took to answer EVERYTHING!
Yep, we left no stone unturned, answering ALL these questions and more:
What commission % is most effective? Does it affect your likelihood of being included?
Do we need to lead with “affiliate ready” in the subject line or intro?
