How To Get 10 Leads A Day For Your Affiliate Business

In this post I’ll share how to get 10 leads a day for your affiliate business. Although some affiliates will be way past 10 leads a day, 10 is a good benchmark for a beginner to aim for.

Once you’ve achieved 10 leads a day, you have the foundation to build from. Top affiliates are getting hundreds of leads a day. However, many of them are using paid marketing only. This can be daunting to a beginner and it’s super frustrating spending money on advertising when much of it doesn’t give you the result you want immediately.

It’s definitely worth persevering with paid marketing but start with a budget you can easily afford. Be prepared to spend regardless of the outcome. That way, your emotions don’t get in the way and you can learn from the ads you run. If paid ads aren’t for you then this post will definitely help you get going.

How To Get 10 Leads A Day For Your Affiliate Business – Why Leads?

Why collect leads? If you’re wondering why leads are so important for an affiliate business I’ll start with that. There’s a tonne of things you can do as an affiliate. You can build content, run ads, watch training videos, work on your logo and on and on it goes. But a lead is good because it’s the foundation of your email list. An email list is super important for affiliates for a number of reasons:

• You can build trust from an email list (much harder on a website)
• An email list gives you multiple “touch points” with a prospect – a website is usually only one point of content where the visitor lands on your website (and usually leaves forever). Statistics show that many customers will require between 6-8 touch points before they buy online (especially from a stranger/unknown website.
• You control the traffic once you’ve got a list – building content takes time, buying traffic costs money (and email list gives you control)
• You can build a list into the tens or hundreds of thousands of subscribers. This gives you massive leverage. When you send one email, even if only a tiny percentage of subscribers buy from you, it can be a big day for sales!

Of course you also need to build a very focused email list with the right people on it. Make sure you know your target audience/customer avatar very well before you start building your list. Otherwise you could be attracting the wrong audience. Make sure you have a sound offer/product to promote through your list which is aligned with the needs of your subscribers. If you’ve nothing to sell check out this course and get a product range to promote.

How To Get 10 Leads A Day For Your Affiliate Business – eBook Giveaway

Ok with all that out of the way it’s time to start attracting leads to your business! One of the best organic methods of attracting leads is through creating and promoting your own ebook. I’ve created several ebooks and they’re a great little tool for building your email list. You can write an ebook around the topic you choose and of course it must align with the product/s you’re selling. You want to attract people to your list who are looking for the answers you provide with your products.

So write an ebook with this in mind. Here’s an ebook of mine which I use on this website to collect leads organically. I even uploaded it to Amazon’s self publishing service and got a physical copy:

Writing an ebook is super easy. Simply use your computer to write it out and save as a pdf document. You can get a 3D cover done for you very cheaply. I used Fiverr.com to get my cover done and you can find services to do this for less than $5!

Once you’re done you can promote your ebook through a page on your website using an email capture form. Then send the ebook out to your email list with your first email message. If you don’t already have an email service provider you can get free access by clicking the image below:

How To Get 10 Leads A Day For Your Affiliate Business – Promoting Your Ebook

Now creating an ebook is only step 1! You’ll also need to promote it to attract people to your landing page. So firstly, create an ebook which helps your audience out somehow with a specific problem – such as understanding affiliate marketing in the case of my eBook. Create a simple page (like this one) to send your website visitors to so they can download your ebook – (by signing up to your email list).

The next step is to promote that page on your website. You can do this using a simply pop up tool. I use a WordPress plugin called Icegram Engage which lets you create drop down menus which appear on your website. This is useful if you’re a blogger because it showcases your ebook on every page on your website. So any visitors you get that land on any page will see your ebook offer.

How To Get 10 Leads A Day For Your Affiliate Business – Attracting Website Visitors

Now you’ve got your ebook set up and a landing page and email capture in place, you need to attract visitors to your website. There’s multiple ways you can do this and I’ll cover some of them here. Here’s a quick overview:

• Create content through blogging
• Post content on social media
• Use some paid advertising to get visitors
• Use SEO – search engine optimisation to get your posts found on the search engines
• Link back to your content from other websites like your (guest posting or blog commenting)
• Upload videos to YouTube/TikTok linking back to your content
• Use question and answer websites to link back to your content (Using Quora to drive traffic)
• Showcase your ebook in your social media profile – linking back to your landing page
• Offline advertising methods – key rings, posters, flyers, t-shirts etc. with your website address on.
• Find groups/people who are likely to be interested in your ebook – on sites such as Facebook, Linkedin, X.com etc.

This seems like a long list but remember you don’t need to do ALL of these. You can focus in one one strategy which you gravitate towards and get really good at that one. Here’s a simple Facebook strategy you can use to find people who are likely to have an interest in your ebook.

How To Get 10 Leads A Day For Your Affiliate Business – Using Facebook Groups

Facebook has a groups feature which has multiple groups in it which you can join. Use the groups search feature to find groups in your specific niche. So with my ebook, for example, (affiliate marketing for beginners) I might want to join groups about the topic of affiliate marketing.

Make sure you agree to the terms when joining groups many of which will specify no spam. If you start just posting your links in these groups you’re likely to get thrown out of them! Instead, interact with other members of the group and join the discussion.

Spend some time each day doing this and over time you will attract people to your Facebook profile. Here’s where you want to set up your “shopfront” by showcasing your ebook in your Facebook profile. Then, when members of those groups find your profile, they’ll immediately see your eBook and the link to your website (landing page) where they can download it!

You’ll need to make a regular habit out of spending time commenting in groups for this strategy to gain any momentum.

Using Quora.com

Quora.com is a question and answer website where you can find people who might be interested in your ebook (or whatever lead magnet you decide to use).

With Quora, type your subject topic into the search bar and you’ll find questions which relate to your particular niche. So for my ebook, for example, I might type “affiliate marketing” into the search bar and look through some of the related questions.

Here’s a few of the questions which have been asked in this particular topic:

Once you find a suitable questions which you can answer, spend some time fully answering the question to the best of your ability. Here’s an example of one of my answers:

By answering questions regularly in your niche, you can generate traffic back to your website by placing a link in your bio to your ebook or lead magnet. When someone finds your answers useful, they’re more likely to see you as an authority on your particular niche.

You can also place links to your content as part of your answer if it is relevant. However, be careful when placing a single link too many times. Quora has a strict policy on spam and will often delete answers if you appear to be spamming rather than offering real value in your answers and links.

Blogging

Blogging is a great way to generate website traffic for free. It does take some time and dedication though but if you have a topic in which to create an ebook, chances are good that’s you’ll know your subject.

That means you can create a lot more content in it! A good place to start when it comes to blogging is Google’s keyword planner. It’s a free tool which tells you the keywords being search for on Google in your particular niche. Start by typing your main keyword into the planner like this:

Look at all those monthly searches for the keyword “affiliate marketing programs”. Wouldn’t it be lovely to get some of that traffic to your blog for free?! Sadly, the short term keywords (3 or less keywords) are super competitive and you’ll have a snowball in hells chance of ranking your article on Google for those particular terms.

However when you look at the less competitive terms, you’ve much better chance at ranking for these. If you click on the Avg. monthly searches box at the top of the search volume column, you’ll be able to “tab” between the highest search volume and the lowest. As you’ll see in the picture below, this gives you much longer tail keyword terms which have far less monthly searches.

Low search volume keywords are usually much less competitive to rank for on Google. So you’ve a much greater chance of ranking if you write articles using these types of terms as your titles. See also my article on find long tail keywords with low SEO difficulty.

Try also looking for keywords within your niche which contain the keywords:

• ebook
• pdf
• download
• blueprint
• etc.

Creating high quality content in key areas where the competition is very low gives you a much greater chance of ranking your blog titles for these keywords. If they are aligned with your ebook or lead magnet offer, so much the better. They can give you a nice free source of website traffic for some time!

Paid Marketing

The strategies listed about are mostly organic and free. But with that comes a lot of work and effort. To start seeing results with most of these strategies, you’ll have to do them each day for some time. Some you’ll see working quickly and others might take a little longer depending on how much time and effort you put in. If these methods aren’t for you, and you want to see results coming a lot quicker, you’re going to need to use some paid marketing.

Paid marketing is far faster and far less hassle than these slower organic methods. However, be prepared to spend your budget while you’re learning. The good news is that you can spend as little as $1 a day if you wish. But the bad news is you don’t get much traffic for that.

Whatever strategy you use in your paid marketing approach, it’s definitely worth setting up a re-marketing campaign. Re-marketing is advertising to those visitors who have already landed on your website and left. So it’s a good thing to do in combination with some of the methods mentioned here already. It’s super cheap and you should find your lead cost is lower than with an ordinary campaign.

Use Google Adwords or Microsoft Ads to get started and learn about the keywords you want to target which will likely bring in your customer avatar – someone who is aligned with your lead magnet. See also paid advertising versus organic.

Summary

10 leads a day is a good basic starting point if you’re building an affiliate business from scratch. Once you have mastered a single method to bring in 10 leads a day, start aiming higher – 20 leads a day, then 30 and so on. Keep with it and stick to a strategy for long enough to see some results.

With some organic methods, you’re going to need to spend a few hours each day over a few weeks before you start to see trickles coming in. Get a counter on your website so you can see the visits – (which won’t all turn into leads). But it gives you a heads up when things start trickling down from your efforts.

Keep doing the work consistently and you’ll start to see results. If you “dip your toe in” or take only sporadic steps, your results will reflect that. Consistency is the key!

You don’t need all these strategies either. Just focus on one of them and get good at it rather than jumping round from one thing to the next! In fact, you’re more likely do better by sticking to a single strategy you can get good at. Once you’ve mastered it, you won’t need another one!

Good luck.
