Here's something a lot of marketers forget about customer acquisition:

Every time a customer buys from you, that's a sale your competition isn't getting.

Fewer sales mean less revenue for them—less money for their marketing, and fewer opportunities to capture more of your potential customers.

That's why one of the smartest things you can do for your long-term ROI is to acquire customers fast.

Starve your competition.

Stop them from taking your customers—today and in the future.


How Most Marketers Approach Customer Acquisition

1️⃣ Run ads

2️⃣ Identify their ideal customer

3️⃣ Optimize ads for lower costs

4️⃣ Acquire customers

5️⃣ Sell to those customers on an ongoing basis


While all of this is essential, there's a crucial piece missing: speed.

The faster you acquire new customers, the stronger your business becomes.


A Powerful (and Free) Way to Get Customers Fast

Affiliate marketing.

The trick? Offer affiliates a commission at or just below your profit margin.

Sounds crazy, right? But stick with us.

Let's say your profit margin is 40%, and you offer affiliates a 35% commission.

That leaves you with just a 5% margin. Sounds tiny—but here's what most people miss:

➡️ That 5% profit wouldn't exist otherwise.

➡️ You only pay affiliates after a sale is made.

➡️ You're spending nothing out of pocket to generate that 5% profit.


And, of course, your competition just lost another customer.

When you offer the highest possible affiliate commissions, you attract the best affiliates—the ones who drive the most high-quality traffic to your business.

In fact, affiliates are a huge reason why we have 3,000+ members in our marketing certification program.


Our Program Gives Members:

✅ Access to 250+ marketing training modules

✅ Direct support from USA-based marketing experts

✅ A recognized certification that builds credibility & confidence


Why We Offer 80% Ongoing Commissions

Our affiliate program is so lucrative that, technically, we "lose money" upfront.

But here's what we know:

In the long run, paying top commissions to top affiliates is far more profitable.

That's why we offer affiliates an 80% ongoing commission.

Remember when you tried to bake cookies and ended up with one giant cookie because they all merged together?

That can be what your brand and funnels look like to prospects when you're not aware of the Gestalt principles.

Here's why: When we look at the world, our minds strive to make sense of what we see, and oftentime, it takes shortcuts.

The Gestalt principles describe the different ways our minds perceive order in the visual stimuli around us.

The Gestalt principles are a psychological framework that explains how our brain naturally groups elements together, recognizes patterns, and creates a coherent perception of our surroundings.

There are 10 primary Gestalt principles. Today we're going to look at:

Proximity and similarity.
Figure ground.
Closure.


Three ways you can leverage Gestalt Principles


1) Increase AOV with proximity and similarity
Grouping related information or products together can impact how users interact with your offer.

An example is grouping different products in the same visual, to make the user perceive them as part of the whole group.

An obvious example is where the brand proposes a complete outfit, rather than just a single piece of clothing.

You can apply this to any niche.

List all your products and see if you can bundle them so they accomplish all the outcomes your prospect desires.


2) Stand out using the figure ground effect
If you check the ads that Meta runs on its own platform, you'll see most of them follow the figure ground principle.

This effect describes how our mind tries to identify which part of an image is the figure or object, and which part is the background.

If you look at ads run by Meta on its own platform, they follow this principle.

Most of the real estate of the visual is background, with smaller elements in the center of the image that stand out.

With the plain background and the centralized elements, it's easier to first separate the ad creative from the rest of the Facebook and Instagram feed.


3) Make people scroll using the closure principle
This principle is similar to open loops. When an image is missing parts, the brain wants to complete what we see.

You can leverage this principle in the "above the fold" section of your landing pages.

Using affiliates can be a great way to drive sales without spending any money upfront.

But most people do affiliate marketing completely wrong.

The majority offer their affiliates a 10-20% commission for every sale they deliver.

And you never want to be in the majority. Your goal should always be to rank in the top 10%. Otherwise, what's the point?

There's one big thing most people overlook—the overflow effect.

Think about it. Affiliates send paying customers your way. But that's not all they bring.

Affiliates drive traffic that will:

✅ Subscribe to your newsletter

✅ Follow your social media

✅ Grow your retargeting audiences

✅ Provide valuable customer data and demographics

All for free.

And here's the kicker—those affiliate links can also boost your search engine rankings.

Helping you rise to the top of search results.

All for free.

That's why we almost always advise offering affiliates a commission at or just below your profit margin.

And yes, we know that sounds crazy. But bear with us.

Take a second and think about it.

Let's say your profit margin is 40%, and you offer affiliates a 35% commission.

That leaves you with just a 5% profit margin. Sounds tiny, right?

But here's what most people miss—that 5% profit margin wouldn't exist otherwise.

With affiliate marketing, you only pay after a sale is made.

You're spending nothing out of pocket to generate that 5% profit.

Not to mention the bonus benefits—new subscribers, social media followers, and more.

All for free.

And when you offer the highest possible affiliate commissions, you attract the best affiliates.

The ones who drive the most high-quality traffic to your business.

In fact, affiliates are a huge reason why we have over 3,000 members in our marketing certification program.

A program where members can:

✅ Access 250+ modules covering all aspects of marketing

✅ Get their marketing questions answered by a USA-based professional

✅ Earn a marketing certification that builds credibility and boosts confidence

For our affiliate program, we offer such high commissions that we technically "lose money" upfront.

Why? Because we know that in the long run, giving affiliates the highest commissions possible is far more profitable.

That's why we pay our affiliates an 80% ongoing commission.

Now, you might be thinking, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! They'll go out of business in no time!"

Well, 3,000 of our members might disagree.

Not to mention our 250,000+ newsletter subscribers.

Of course, we use other marketing strategies, but affiliates play a massive role in our success.

Affiliate marketing works—that's why all the top brands do it. But the real results come from offering great commissions to attract great affiliates.

We hate being sold to. But that hatred melts away when the salesperson tells us they're selling to us.

In fact, that transparency builds trust and can lead us to hand over more cash than we would otherwise.



What does this mean for marketers like you?

In an online world bloated with instant fixes and other guru B.S., realness and honesty are refreshing to buyers.

That's why making a mistake or straight-up telling people why you're selling something can drive more sales than being sly about it.




Alright, so how can you apply this right now to sell more?


Unveil the reason for your sale

Avoid tainting your brand with discounts by telling your buyers why certain products are on sale.

Whether you bought too much stock, you're not offering a digital product anymore, or you need to move inventory out before you can buy more, don't keep it a secret.



Give a reason to increase your likability

We buy from those we know, like, and trust. So find holes in your marketing and turn them into opportunities to make your customers smile.

When people are given a reason why they should act, they're more likely to comply. Sometimes up to 33% more.



Y'know when a magician pulls a coin outta his ear and pretends it's magic? But you're like, "Sir, we just saw you pick up that quarter over there and put it behind your ear."

Yeah, don't do that.

Your buyers know you're marketing them. So don't pretend like you're not.

Use the Transparency Effect to build know, like, and trust factors so you can drive more sales.
