October 17 – October 24th
Here’s how the bundle works for YOU
This bundle wouldn’t be NEARLY as amazing as it is (with over $2,500 in products!), without you.
STEP 1
Set up your product for access now through February 1st. Create a 100% off coupon code or clone your sales page and swap out the checkout for an opt-in form.
STEP 2
Complete your submission form with your access links, coupon code, product mockup and affiliate info.
DUE DATE: September 26th but preferably ASAP!
STEP 3
Grab your affiliate link, swipe copy, and share out the bundle starting on October 17th at 6am ET / 3am PT. There’s no specific requirement, but the more you share, the better!

Here’s how it’ll work for your audience

  • Cart opens + promo begins Monday October 17th at 6am ET / 3am PT and closes Monday October 24th at 6pm ET / 3pm PT
  • Folks click on your affiliate link, check out the bundle, and purchase.
  • They’re instantly enrolled in my course hosted on ThriveCart Learn+ where they can access all the products in their bundle. They will also be added to my email list fo reminders.
  • They can browse the included offers and sign up from within ThriveCart Learn+ until January 31, 2023.
A word on emails + privacy
Because these things can get sticky!
They’ll get reminders to sign up for things before the access period ends.

Due to privacy laws and GDPR, I am not able to share the names and email addresses of the full list of buyers with you. But your list WILL grow!

Anyone who redeems your coupon or opts in to your product can be added to your list and should be treated as a paying customer.
You’ll be cookied for future sales! That means for the next 3 months, you’ll earn any further purchases made by those who have clicked on your affiliate link.

Contributor Affiliate Prizes
As a thank you for promoting the bundle, I’ve lined up a few prizes for you based on what you said you’d like in your intake form.

We’ll have two kinds of prize pools:

  1. The top 4 spots on the leaderboard (based on total # of sales)
  2. The Best-Of categories (based on creative/unique promo efforts)
Leaderboard Prizes
An affiliate leaderboard is a list (usually shared daily or every other day) with the affiliates of a product showing the top 5-10 affiliates in number of sales referred, listed in order. Sally made 15 sales, she’s at the top of the leaderboard. Dale made 12 sales and is listed next, and so on.
The final places will be determined and shared after the cart closes as things can shift quite a bit during the launch and even on the last day!

Being listed on the affiliate leaderboard for this bundle is totally optional! You will already let me know what your preferences were and I’ll be sure to honor them. Contact me if anything changes.

FAQs
Please have your product, links, coupon codes etc submitted and ready for testing by September 26th – but the sooner, the better. If you do not have it ready for testing, you lose your spot.
The affiliate commission is 50% and you’ll earn from every sale resulting from someone clicking your affiliate link and then purchasing. Payout will happen November 25th.

As far as how much you might earn, it totally depends on how much you promote, your audience size, and your audience’s familiarity with affiliate marketing and selling bundles.

In general, the most successful bundle affiliates are not the ones with the biggest list, they’re almost always the ones with the most engaged email list. The top 3-4 affiliates usually send 3+ emails. Your audience wants to see that YOU care about the bundle and feel its a great value, and you show that by enthusiastically promoting multiple times.
You don’t HAVE to promote at all – I’m not requiring it contractually. That gets messy. However, you’ll only earn if you share your affiliate link *someplace* so I’d recommend, at the least, a PS or blurb in your weekly email and resharing when you’re tagged on social, adding your affiliate link.

Better? Send an email about it early during the launch and then a last-chance email.

Best? Send 3 emails and add a bonus for anyone who buys with your link.

I’ll say it again:
Usually, the top 3-4 affiliates in a collaborative launch like this usually have sent 3+ emails about it.

Your audience wants to see that YOU care about the bundle and feel its a great value, and you show that by enthusiastically promoting multiple times.
I get to grow my email list with perfect-fit buyers while meeting and collaborating with YOU (hi, you’re awesome). I also have other products that these bundle-buyers might love, too. By the way, if someone goes on to buy that within 90 days of the bundle, you’ll earn a commission on it too!
