AFFILIATE PROGRAM: STEP 2
Thanks for reaching out to your go to list of friends and getting them interested in LOLB and the VIP Wait List. Here’s the next step: One week before the VIP Wait List premieres and the week of the VIP Wait List. Below is the time line for this phase. For each phase I will email you a few days before we move on to each phase as a reminder. Refer to your contract for the dates if you are unsure of any dates listed below.
One week before the VIP Wait List premieres (check your contract and the welcome page for those dates) refer back to your list of friends who you think would benefit from LOLB, and reach out to them. Ask them if they have any questions about LOLB. And double check if they have signed up for the LOLB VIP Wait List. If not guide them to https://www.leagueoflistbuilders.com/ once again to make sure they signed up and are good to go. Do not email me asking if your friends have signed up for the VIP Wait List. As an affiliate, it’s your responsibility to get them where they need to go.
During the week of the VIP Wait List videos there will be lots of promo from my side and other affiliates. So it’s your job to keep communicating with your list of friends who are interested in LOLB. During the week of the VIP Wait List videos, below each video they will have the opportunity to click a button and join LOLB. That link is not your affiliate referral link. You must make it crystal clear that if they want to join LOLB, they should not click the link below each VIP Wait List video. They should watch the VIP Wait List videos but click your affilaite referral link in order for you to get your 50% commission. Your affiliate referral link has been set up when you first became an LOLB Affiliate.
Remember, they need to use your affiliate referral link in order for you to get your 50% commission. If they do not use your affiliate referral link, if they flake, if they forget, if they blank, then there’s no going back. They must use your affiliate referral link in oder for you to get your 50% commission.
Now let’s set up your branded communication. Here are some Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to promoting LOLB.

Phew. you made it.
Setting up your communication now will make the run of the launch go smoothly. You’ll have less distractions and can focus on what really matters - helping your friends and followers make the right decision if LOLB is a good fit for them.
Now it’s time to write out and schedule your social media posts for all of your launch communication.
The great news is, that you’ve already done it by writing out your emails. Feel free to use the LOLB affiliate graphics (CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY) and chop down what you wrote into bite-sized pieces for your social media content. Use the pre-written emails as a script if you want to speak directly to camera. As I always, say, make it work for you.
Fell free to use the examples written above as inspiration for you to change the wording so it sounds more like you.
Make sure your communication is written out and ready to go before the Thursday before the VIP Wait List videos premiere. I’d highly recommend that you make a content plan that you feel will resonate with your friends and followers best that vibes with you on social.
STAY ORGANISED
Go one by one through your go to list of friends, reach out to them with the pre-written templates above. Mark each person off in your go to list of friends once you reached out to them. If you want to check if they have signed up using your affiliate referral link then log in to your affiliate dashboard to see.
In gratitude,

FAQ
How do I see if a student or follower of mine purchased LOLB through my referral link?
Log in to your affiliate referral page and right there on the dashboard you will see the name of your student or follower who bought LOLB through your affiliate link. They also had the instruction to email you after they used your link so if they haven’t done that yet, tehn feel free to reach out to them congratulating them on joining LOLB through you and set up your delivery of their free goodies.
What if friends and followers email me or message me about LOLB? What should I say?
Answer their questions. Be a resource to them. Don’t force your LOLB affiliate referral link on them. Just be there for them. Answer their questions from your perspective on how LOLB helped you work through the struggles they are going through now. Finish your message with an open question to continue the convo. For example, “So what else are you struggling with with your marketing? Let me know.” If they come back with more (which they probably will) then answer their questions. When they don’t have any more questions then you can gently nudge them in the direction of your LOLB affilaite referral link NO EARLIER THAN THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE VIP WAIT LIST PREMIERES if you feel LOLB would be a good fit for them.
What if friends and followers don’t go through me - even if I’ve been working so hard to get them to go through me?
Shrug it off. Don’t stress about it. This may happen to one or two of your friends and followers. Just keep promoting LOLB and being crystal clear that if you want to be a resource to them for now and the first few weeks of them doing the LOLB course, then you’d appreciate them using your LOLB affilaite referral link.
What if my friends and followers accidentally don’t use my LOLB affiliate referral link, they purchase the course through another link, and think they are helping me out? What do I say?
You’ve set up your LOLB Affiliate launch beautifully. But sometimes, people get confused no matter how hard you try to direct them. At the end of the day, people have difficulty following directions even when those directions are laid out crystal clear. Unfortunately, if they didn’t use your LOLB affiliate referral link to purchase LOLB through you, then you won’t get your 50% commission.
You could say that they could cancel their recent purchase of LOLB, get their money back, and then go through your LOLB affilaite referral link but if they originally purchased at a cheaper price and only later did they realise that they made the mistake and now the price is higher than before, well then that’s the price they have to pay to join LOLB and to learn the lesson to follow directions.
When is the LOLB Affiliate payout?
Because there is a 30 day money back guarantee for LOLB we must keep in mind that although your affiliate dashboard says one thing, one of your students could change their mind and want their money back. That’s why the LOLB Affiliate Payout doesn’t happen until a few days after the 30 day money back guarantee. The countdown to the 30 days begins on Day 1 of the course. refer to your contract to see when the course officially begins then add 30 days to it. That is the cut-off date for students to get their money back. On Day 31 all LOLB Affiliates will be paid out via PayPal.
What if someone asks for their money back within the 30 day money back guarantee and that student is one of my friends or followers who went through me to purchase LOLB?
You will not get your commission from that student.
