Wandering down the hill from my morning teaching gig on Saturday, February 8th I made this walking-talking video about the AI Franchise launch and how I approached promoting it. I included a bunch of tips about how to set up an online affiliate marketing business (in the Make Money Online / Work From Home / Online Biz Tools niches). The rest of this blog post distills the info in the video:
Last Day of the AI Franchise Launch
This is the sixth day of the AI Franchise launch week, and what a week it’s been – great product, great offer, and a great discount!
If you’ve already bought it, you got a fantastic deal. But the price is going up next week, so if you’re still on the fence, grab it while you can.
What Happens After Launch Week?
I want to talk about what happens after this launch and what I’ve learned from it – lessons we can apply moving forward in affiliate marketing and online business.
1. Take Fast Action
When you’re working with a short launch window (like this six-day launch), you must act quickly. But it’s not just about showing the sales page.
I saw the AI Franchise being promoted on safelists and traffic exchanges – the usual lazy approach. If you did that, I hope you made some sales, but here’s the thing: That’s not the best way to use those platforms.
Instead of promoting AI Franchise directly, I kept promoting my lead capture pages to build my list. Then, I promoted the launch to my mailing list, YouTube audience, and blog readers. This is the structure I want you to focus on.
👉 If you don’t have a list, make list-building your #1 priority.
👉 If you have a small list, make growing it your #1 priority.
2. Use Safelists & Traffic Exchanges the Right Way
These platforms work best for list-building and branding. You should focus on getting safelist credits – either by clicking for them or paying for them.
That’s why I always emphasize lifetime memberships on quality safelists and traffic exchanges – especially safelists. They let you leverage your time and get more traffic for your advertising efforts.
3. Offer Evergreen Products
As you build your list, offer them something valuable. I recommend evergreen products and services, such as:
- Autoresponders
- Web hosting
- Traffic sources (good deals you’ve found)
These should be the foundation of your autoresponder follow-up series. That’s exactly what my Get More Sales Funnel, 100% Commission Funnel, and Traffic Exchange Success Secrets Funnel are built around – recommending the products and tools I actually use.
4. Promote Launches After Your Evergreen Funnel is Set Up
Once you’ve built your list and have a solid evergreen funnel, then you can look at promoting short-term product launches.
- Launches create excitement
- Good products offer real value
- They bring in extra sales on top of your evergreen sales
That’s exactly how I approached the AI Franchise launch.
How You Can Use AI Franchise as an Evergreen Offer
If you opted to buy AI Franchise through my link, I’ve already made a lead capture page for you!
AI Franchise isn’t just useful for creating content and attracting customers – it can also be part of your evergreen funnel. If you want my lead capture page, just drop me a message, and I’ll send it to you.
We shouldn’t keep using the launch email series. Instead, we need to adapt those emails into evergreen content, focusing on:
- The value of AI Franchise
- How it helps users
- Why it’s a great long-term product
If a new email series becomes available, we’ll use that. Otherwise, we’ll rewrite and adapt the old ones.
Using Your Blog & YouTube for Promotion
Here’s how I used my platforms:
- YouTube: I made a couple of review videos with my affiliate link in the description.
- Blog: I repurposed my videos into blog posts and emailed them to my list.
- Pre-Launch: I built curiosity by hinting at the launch before it happened.
👉 Don’t hesitate to send more than one email a day during a launch.
👉 Your autoresponder series runs automatically, but you can send extra broadcasts for time-limited offers.
People who don’t like it will unsubscribe – don’t worry about that! Just keep growing your list by promoting lead capture pages.
Final Thoughts: Be Evergreen!
It’s a beautiful day here – snow in the air! But in Hiroshima, snow disappears quickly.
That’s how most people’s online businesses are. They try something, it doesn’t work, and they give up.
Don’t be like the snow.
Be evergreen! 🌲
Cheers!
