For affiliate marketers

Webinars for affiliate products

You recommend other companies’ products and earn a commission. CreateWebinar turns the link to an affiliate product into a webinar. The script includes a note about your commission, and the buy button sends people to the offer through your affiliate link.

Where you start

A link on its own explains very little

You’re an affiliate marketer, promoting someone else’s online course or software, for example. A post with a link reaches lots of people. But anyone thinking about a pricier product wants to know more first, such as how it works and whether it really suits them.

A webinar takes that time. It explains the product in depth and answers questions. Along the way, it tells your guests openly that you earn from the sale.

You have an affiliate link to a product you believe in.
A post or an email isn’t enough to explain it all.
You want to be upfront about your commission.

The link

Which page to paste

Paste the product’s sales page, the page where the vendor describes it. Indicate that you’re promoting the product as an affiliate. The script will then include a note about your commission.

You add your affiliate link to the buy button. That way, every click in the webinar goes to the offer through your link.

Example Anything you know from using the product yourself, add in the follow-up questions.

The six questions

What the AI asks about an affiliate product

The AI reads the vendor’s sales page and pre-fills six answers. You know your audience better than the vendor does, so adjust them until they sound like something your readers or viewers would actually say. If something is neither on the page nor in your answers, the AI won’t make it up.

What exactly is the product called?

The name the vendor uses. That way your guests can find the product again later.
Who is it for?

The people you reach, such as the readers of your garden planning blog or the viewers of your channel.
Which problem does it solve?

Describe the problem as your audience sees it, not as the vendor sees it.
What does the buyer get?

The contents according to the sales page. If you use the product yourself, add what you noticed.
How much does the offer cost?

The current price from the sales page. As soon as it comes up in the webinar, the buy button with your affiliate link appears.
What should be emphasised?

Your own experience with the product, for example, or a bonus you give buyers who use your link.

Length

The right length for an affiliate product

Go by the price and scope of the product. The more someone spends, the more they want to know beforehand.

Short

15 to 20 minutes

For low-priced products where a short introduction is enough.
Our suggestion

Medium

25 to 35 minutes

Enough time to present the product, explain your view of it and pick up common questions.
Long

45 to 60 minutes

For large, expensive programmes your guests want to know a lot about before buying.

How it runs

How your affiliate webinar runs

Once the webinar is ready, you set the schedule and share the link to the sign-up page with your audience.

Step 1

A schedule that suits you

Fixed weekdays and times, a session every 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or a single date, perhaps timed to a promotion by the vendor. Your guests see the sessions in their own time zone.
Step 2

The commission note

Because you’re promoting the product as an affiliate, the script includes a short note about your commission. Your guests know that you earn from the sale. Being open is part of it.
Step 3

Questions in the chat

The AI answers questions from the product knowledge you give it. Anything the vendor doesn’t mention on their page, you add as extra knowledge. The chat states that an AI is answering.
Step 4

Buy button with your affiliate link

When the price comes up, the buy button appears and takes guests to the offer through your affiliate link. Sales and commissions are reported to you by the vendor’s affiliate program. In CreateWebinar’s insights, you see how often your offer was clicked.

Questions

Questions from affiliate marketers

How do my guests find out about my commission?

If you indicate that you’re promoting the product as an affiliate, the script includes a note about your commission. So your guests hear in the webinar that you earn from the sale.

Does CreateWebinar show whether someone bought through my link?

No. Sales and commissions are reported by the vendor’s affiliate program. CreateWebinar’s insights show you how many people signed up and how often the offer was clicked.

Can I present several affiliate products?

Yes. Each webinar is created from one link. For a second product, you create a second webinar with its own affiliate link on the buy button.

Is this the same as the CreateWebinar partner program?

No. This is about other companies’ products. If you’d like to recommend CreateWebinar itself, read more about our partner program.
