ThesisReady Launches Affiliate Program

Overview

At ThesisReady, nothing is better than a happy customer. Happy customers tell their friends, and create buzz, and I think you should be rewarded for that. To say “thanks” for the help you’re giving me to grow ThesisReady into an ever better Thesis, and WordPress resource, the affiliate program allows you to earn a commission on every sale you bring in.

A 33% commission to be precise.

The program is totally free for you to join – it only requires that you create a free ThesisReady account to get access to the member panel. Once on, you’ll have access to all the links, and banners you’ll need to get started.

Seven Quick Affiliate Marketing Tips

Now that you’ve joined the program, and are super-pumped to make your first sale, here are a few tops to get started off on the right foot, and maximize the results of your efforts.

1. Write blog posts, and articles (for your site, and others) discussing your thoughts on ThesisReady skins. Remember – honesty is important here. This not only gives your visitors a chance to connect with you, but if they like what they read and feel they can trust you, they will click on your affiliate links you add.
2. Add a ThesisReady affiliate link to your blog footer. That’s always the first place people look when they want to find out more about a website design they like.
3. Leverage your email list by sending your subscribers links to your review articles, and encourage them to forward the message to their contacts.
4. Make sure your forum signatures in any online communities your frequent include your ThesisReady affiliate link.
5. If you are a designer, or consultant, offer ThesisReady skins to your clients via your affiliate link as a way to save on project costs and time. That’s a win-win for both you, and your clients.
6. Invite your friends to become affiliates as well. Don’t think of this as competition, but as having more support on your team. If potential customers see lots of sites promoting ThesisReady, they will be more likely to purchase a skin. The network effect makes things even easier for you, but building social proof.
7. Be creative! Out-of-the-box thinking will attract attention, and more attention means more sales.
