Marketing strategies that actually work! A BEGINNERS GUIDE TOAFFILIATE MARKETINGB Y J O E Y U D O V I C HJOEY THE AFFILIATE

Hey there! I am Joey. I am a former teacher turned business owner. I ammarried to a state trooper and have three awesome kids. Here's a bit of mybackstory and how I ended up where I am now.When my husband and I first married, we lived paycheck to paycheck. Afterseeing my parents work hard all their lives with very little to show for it, I knewI never wanted to have those same struggles. I wanted more. Don’t get mewrong, I wouldn’t change anything about my childhood. I have the world’sbest parents, and no matter what, we had food on our table. Because of thesestruggles, I genuinely appreciate everything I have today due to my humblebeginning.I had my first child in 2008, and it killed me to leave her when I had to go towork. The only thought that consistently came to my mind as I left andwatched her cry was that I wanted to be home with her and for her. Theproblem was that we couldn’t afford for me to do that. From garage sales tomaking tutus in my living room, I did whatever I could to make a little extramoney for our small family. It was exhausting, with no sight of any realsuccess.In the fall of 2012, I found out about a site that allowed teachers to createresources and sell them in their own shops online. On January 1, 2013, I beganmy digital marketing journey and started making my digital resources. I knewabsolutely nothing. I had to figure it out on my own, including how to createand use social media. Since that time, I have been able to create a verysuccessful business, earning a seven-figure income using the techniques I willbe sharing with you. With that money, I have built a beautiful life for myfamily...one that allows me to stay home and be at every event, to volunteer,and has also allowed me to be by my parents’ sides during some terrifyinghealth battles they have faced. This is my WHY. The money has been ablessing, but it was the time for my family that I was and still am hungry for.Knowing that they will be okay and that I can be there for all the ups anddowns life throws at us brings my heart a great deal of peace.I have been able to work as an affiliate for companies such as Staples, OfficeMax, Fab Fit Fun, Teami, Astrobrights, and others, both in and out of the worldof education. I took a 15-day challenge that amplified my marketingknowledge and made the path to success and growth 100 times easier!Let your success story begin here within these pages.

DRIVING TRAFFIC@ J O E Y .

Whattruly matters is having engaged followers—people who are excited aboutwhat you share. In this game, it's all about quality over quantity. So, if youdecide to dive into the social media world, focus on building a communitythat genuinely interacts with your content. Remember, enthusiasm from yourfollowers beats sheer numbers any day.

With affiliate marketing, you have to know who your audience will be. This is called yourtarget audience. Defining your target audience is a foundational step in digital marketing —think of it as setting the stage before a conversation. It involves understanding the needs of whoever it is that you are trying to market your product to. This allows for more personalized messages and strategies that resonate effectively, addressing specific needs and pain points. The goal is to speak your audience's language. So, taking the time to figure out who your target audience is before launching any digital marketing campaign helps to best direct your marketing towards the most relevant audience, optimizing the return on investment.A FEW MORE TIPS AND SUGGESTIONSDEFINING YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE@ J O E Y . T H E A F F I L I A T ECREATING SALES FUNNELSSales funnels are optional, but they are a great way to guidepotential customers through a step-by-step journey, from initialawareness to making a purchase. For affiliate marketers, thesefunnels help efficiently nurture leads, build trust, and strategicallypromote affiliate products to increase conversion rates. There arewebsites such as systeme.io that will help you build them for yourcampains.CREATING EMAIL AUTOMATIONSAgain, this is an optional effort but is a great way to stay in communication with thosewho have shown interest in what you are offering. Email automation is a system that gathers emails from the "opt-in" page on your sales funnel and integrates them into an automated system that engages with potential customers through follow-up emails. Studies show that people typically purchase after the 5th or 12th exposure to a product, rather than on the first encounter. Thatmeans that creating an automated email system enables ongoing follow-ups,maximizing the potential for increased sales opportunities.
