Let’s get real for a moment. Have you ever felt like you’re pouring your heart and soul into promoting someone else’s products, only to realize you’re building their empire instead of your own? Well, grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger), because we’re about to dive deep into a topic that’s more important than your morning caffeine fix: list Sabotage!
Now, before we dig in, let’s play a little game of imagination. Picture this: You’re a gold miner. You’ve got all your gear ready, the pickaxe is in hand, and you’re ready to strike it rich! But instead of keeping the gold you mine, you toss it into a deep abyss and shout, “Hey, Mr. Affiliate Owner! Here’s my gold!” Sounds ridiculous, right? Well, that’s exactly what many affiliate marketers are doing by not building their own email lists.
What’s the Deal with “List Sabotage”?
Let me introduce you to my new favorite term: “List Sabotage!” It’s not just a catchy phrase; it’s a full-blown epidemic in the affiliate marketing world. You’ve spent countless hours crafting the perfect email, promoting a product you believe in, and what do you get? A shiny new lead… for the affiliate program owner!
Yes, you do get a commission for the sale but only this sale. You do not have a way to email this lead new offers.
We’re going to explore how to protect your hard-earned leads and build an email list that’s truly yours. It’s time to treat leads like the gold they are—your gold!
