When stupid copy calls

No Stupid One of the neat things about affiliate marketing is that quite often, product developers will offer their affiliates suggestions for email campaigns, forum postings and the like.

This can be very useful indeed!

EXCEPT…..

When Stupid Copy Calls!

Let me explain. You see, many people are subscribed to more than one marketing mailing list (she said, revealing the obvious). So! What do you think a reader would do if she receives 4 emails from different people with the EXACT SAME BLEEPING COPY??????????

"OMIGOSH, let me buy!" ain’t the first thing that comes to mind, let me tell you!

Be a smart affiliate marketer! Use suggested copy as just that….a suggestion!

Copying and pasting canned text eventually sounds like, well, canned text….and that’s no way to build an effective relationship.

Here’s what I do whenever I want to do a review or promote a product. I’ll visit the site and pick out the specific points and ideas that I feel would speak to my readers…and then I translate that into how I generally converse. That way, my comments about the product are geniune and NOT canned.

What if you want help to spin suggested content? Here are 2 resources you can use:

Even if you use spinners, mind you, you HAVE to go over the content to ensure it makes sense. Remember…you want people to buy your recommendations…not laugh at them.

Enjoy,
