4 months ago, I started an experiment with an affiliate program. I've set up an affiliate provider and introduced it in the newsletter.
Since then, we have got a decent rate for clicks but no conversions. So I thought maybe this wasn't a good idea and canceled my subscription for Rewardful.
But the next day, magic happened. We received our first paid customer through one of the affiliates.
After this research, I've concluded a few important findings:
- To get conversions, you should go niche with your partners. They should fit the field in which your project function.
- An experiment may take some time, so don't give up.
- Paid customers are just a part of the system. Besides buyers, we have sellers and subscribers. I plan to add a referral system for sellers and newsletter subscribers to gift them stickers, t-shirts, Premium subscriptions, etc.
