Using Audio for Affiliate Training

If you currently have an affiliate program in place, you understand the benefits of having a huge sales force that you only have to pay on performance. Likewise, you understand that, as one person, you can only sell x number of products, but with an affiliate program you have the potential to greatly increase your sales.

Of course, not everyone that signs up as an affiliate will bring you sales. In fact, the majority of your affiliates may not sell anything at all. You can increase the odds of their success by providing training on your products as well as training on affiliate marketing.

Using audio for your affiliate training is a great way to reach your affiliates. You may have created some very helpful affiliate training guides in the past, but many people do not have time to read them. As you know, different people have different learning styles, and those that do take the time to read your training guides may not absorb much of the information through reading. Creating an audio training will solve both of these problems.

The more knowledge your affiliates have about your product, the more they will want to market it. In a perfect world, all of your affiliates will be former customers who bought your product and loved it so much they wanted to become your affiliate and tell others about it. Of course, we do not live in a perfect world and many of your affiliates may have little to no experience with your product.

To combat this problem, you could set up a training where you explained the features and benefits of your product, compared your product with the competition and even gave a special discount offer at the end of the recording for those that listened to the entire recording and wanted to purchase your product.

Many of the people who have signed on as your affiliates may have no prior marketing experience. They may need help with generating traffic, creating ads, or writing effective copy. By offering a generalized training with some affiliate marketing tips can greatly increase your affiliates’ motivation and effectiveness.

In addition to the above reasons, audio is also a great time saver. Your can record the audio in a short amount of time and upload the files to your affiliate management center. You can use these same training audios for years to come.

Offering an audio training also helps increase the communication between you are your affiliate team. Your affiliates will feel that you really care about your product and their success. This will help you build loyalty and trust with your affiliates. When given the choice of promoting your product and your competitors’, they will choose to promote your product. The more you invest in to the relationship between you and your affiliates, the more profits you can expect to gain.
