Sua estratégia de marketing de afiliados também pode se beneficiar dos cursos por e-mail. Na verdade, se forem feitos corretamente, eles podem ser um de seus empreendimentos mais lucrativos até o momento.

Aqui estão 5 dicas de especialistas para escrever um minicurso prático que agregue valor aos leitores e garanta um aumento nas vendas:
-
Escreva pessoalmente
Emails were originally ‘personal’ before they became a marketing strategy. Why do you think businesses started using emails to attract buyers and clients? Because we normally associate emails with conversations with real people. So why not make your mini course stand out from all the useless spam by adding your own personal touch? You can customize each email to include the recipient’s first name. Or you can just say “hello, friend!” This helps build a connection with your subscribers.

Conte sua história
Neil Patel doesn’t have a problem telling people how his first job was at Knott’s Berry Farm emptying trash cans. That’s because everyone has to start somewhere, and even the most popular online marketing guru started by making a few cents per hour.
Try injecting your start-up story at the beginning of your course. You don’t have to bare your soul to subscribers (unless you want to). Just give them a bit of background of why you’re doing what you’re doing and how your course is designed to help eles alcançar os resultados eles querer.
-
Promote Affiliate Products as ‘Tools’ or ‘Resources’
Along the course of the email series, offer resources to help subscribers along their journey. It may take some creativity to promote your own affiliate products in the course, but if done right, your readers won’t hesitate to spend their hard-earned money on all your recommendations.

Seja cuidadoso com o que você promete
You should never tell your audience you’re going to do something you can’t (or won’t). If you say the mini course includes a free report, make sure they’ll eventually get that report. One of the biggest mistakes businesses and blogs make is to promise results they can’t fulfill. So, don’t say the course is guaranteed to make them thousands of dollars a month if, in fact, it won’t.

Inicie uma conversa de duas vias
Às vezes, o marketing de afiliados bem-sucedido exige muita interação prática com as pessoas. Você pode incentivá-las a responder a seus e-mails ou sugerir que participem da discussão em seu site ou blog. As discussões contínuas ajudam a transformar assinantes casuais em seus maiores defensores.
Além disso, convide os novos assinantes do curso a se conectarem com você em suas plataformas de mídia social favoritas, como Twitter, Facebook ou Instagram.
And there you have it; the five top tips that can help you refine your email mini course and make it shine! But we’re not stopping there. Below are three more great tips that should help you in the initial stages of your mini course creation.
They’re not related to writing. They’re advices we want to share with you from our own experience with email courses. Here they are:
- Don’t send subscribers other emails on the same day. The line between ‘useful’ and ‘spammy’ is so thin that we tend to cross them unknowingly. If someone is scheduled to receive one of your email courses on a certain day, make sure you don’t bombard their inbox with content notifications and newsletters, too.
- Don’t stress about people who unsubscribe. You can’t please everyone, and you shouldn’t lutar para. Às vezes, as pessoas cancelam a assinatura porque percebem, mais tarde, que nunca precisaram realmente do seu curso. Se você souber quem é seu público-alvo, tiver escrito e estruturado seu curso por e-mail adequadamente e tiver promovido seus produtos afiliados de forma inteligente, não terá com o que se preocupar.
- Implementar a Regra dos Sete. According to this age-old marketing rule, your readers need to see or hear your marketing message at least seven times to feel comfortable buying your affiliate products or services. While there is no magic to the number “7”, the point of the rule is to make sure you stay in front of your subscribers until they como e confiança você.
A great mini course has the potential to boost your affiliate sales twofold. Just keep the above tips in mind and make sure to deliver exactly what you promise. You’ll have them swooning over your blog in no time!
