How to Get Offers To Promote On Pukena

Step 1: Browse through the service categories to see available services to promote. Click to see the sales page of each service. This pages have been optimized for search engines, so you can use them as your landing page. Take note of the page ID. For this illustration, we will use the Platinum Home Plan Subscription which has a payout of N7,500 (5% commission) per referral.

Step 2: Preview the Landing Page

Don’t just jump into promotion an offer without knowing what it is all about. It is therefore important to preview the landing page to get enough information regarding what you are about to promote.

Step 3: Get Your Tracking Link

Your tracking link is the most important thing as far as this program is concerned, because that is what people will click on in order to earn you some commission. To get your tracking link, go to the sales page (landing page) of the product/ service you want t promote. Then copy the page link displayed in the browser. The next step would be to go to your affiliate dashboard. Click on Affiliate Centre---Campaigns---Campaign 1.

You will find 2 referral links: Front page and Custom page. To use the Front page, you don’t need to edit the link. Just generate a tiny url for it and share with your friends. It will take them directly to the Pukena Home Page.  Any purchases made using the link will be credited to you.

To promote specific products/services , you will need to do some minor editing of the link. But not to worry, its nothing too technical. Simply edit the custom page, http://pukena.ng/custom_page?a=216&c=1 by replacing “custom page” with the page ID of the sales page. For instance. To promote the Gold Home Subscription Plan, the link will become  http://pukena.ng/platinum-home-plan?a=216&c=1 .

The next step will be to generate a Tiny Url for your link. Most readers may not want to click on the link as it is knowing fully well that it’s your affiliate link. So you have to create a short link that does not have an affiliate ID attached to it. To do that, copy the edited link and head over to https://bitly.com/ to shorten the link.

Copy the shortened URL and Save it in your notepad in case you need it future. Both links will take prospective buyers to the same place and the sales would also be credited to you. You only need to makes use of one at a time.

Step 4: Create your blog post

After getting the needed code, go to your blog and create a post about the offer you are promoting. Use the tracking code for your anchor text (use the plain one or the tiny url).

Making Money with Your Selected Pukena Products

The primary reason for joining the Pukena Affiliate Program is to make money. This is why this part of this guide is very important. You are going to need the following to promote your offers:

• A simple website/blog that is niche targeted
• A Facebook page for your site
• A mailing list
• A Nairaland account (optional)

The practical steps to take make money with your Pukena Affiliate products is to create a website and make sure it is indexed by Google and then add quality content built around the products/ services you are promoting. Do proper keyword and long tail keywords research before you write your content. Share your content on syndicate sites and other social media networks like Faceboook and Twitter. But you should never directly share your link to the products on these sites so that your account doesn’t get banned.

Promote Your Content with Facebook Ads

If you are sure you’ve created quality content capable of being shared or clicked by your visitor, then it’s time to promote that content on Facebook with Facebook ads. Login to your Facebook account and follow the instructions on the site to create your ads campaign. With just $5 a day, you can reach several hundreds of people from the geographical areas you are targeting. Make sure you provide a link for them to visit the content you have written concerning the particular product so that people can click on it, and visit your site. When they get there, they can read your content and then click on your CPA link to take action. By so doing, you will be making cool dollars with your Facebook ads.

Organize giveaways

This is another method that works just fine for any offer. If you don’t have any prize to offer to giveaway winners, you can get in touch with Pukena to see if they can provide the prizes for the winners.

Mailing to your list

You have often heard the saying that “money is in the list”. One good way to make money out of the list is to build your own mailing list using any of the quality and trusted autoresponders like mailchimp, getresponse, aweber, icontact, vertical response, etc. Once you have a ready list, you can subtly promote your product offers to them too. Expect a positive response because the people on your mailing list trust you a lot.

You can promote to them tactfully through the list or simply use the same method as with the Facebook ads. Once you publish fresh content on your blog regarding a new offer, send the URL of the post to the people on your list and they will check on it to visit the content. If your content is well structured and enticing enough a lot of them would end up clicking on the links and you make the money.

Be a nairaland expert

Nairaland is Nigeria’s biggest and most visited websites that converts very well. You don’t have to show your product link on Nairaland, you only need to be active on the site and answer a lot of questions in your niche so that people will see you as an authority and trust you. After earning their confidence, try as much as possible to include the link to the rich content on your site if they provide real information to the questions being asked. But it should not be habitual so that people don’t see you as a spammer. The good thing about Nairaland is that you can generate traffic from it without spending money to do so.

Write an ebook

People like reading e-books  if they provide helpful information. So, if you can write one around the niche you are promoting and then give it out for free, a lot of people searching for that information will quickly download and read it. Provide your affiliate inks at the end of or in the middle of the content and they will click on it for further information, depending on how you want to caption it. The e-book can also be advertised on Facebook and once readers click on the link in it to take action, you get paid.

Managing your referrals

Your job as an affiliate does not just end with promoting our links. You need to make sure each click ends in a purchase or order for a product or service. Here are some steps to ensure each click is converted to a paying customer:

• Share your links on blogs, Facebook, twitters, forums, etc  as have been outlined above
• Encourage your friends and targets to click through your referral link.
• Guide them through making purchases for any of our services. Help them fill the order form
• Encourage them to pay the finder’s fees. You also get paid commission from finder’s fees
• Once the order form is submitted, we take it from there, but copies of the quotes sent to your referrals would be send to your email.
• When your referral selects a service pro, the report is sent to your email. Even if your referral does not select a quote or cancels an order, the full report will be sent to your email.
• Once project is completed and payment complete, you will be credited with your bonus.
• If the client cancels the transaction but pays the initial Finder’s fee, you only earn commission on the Finder’s fee.
