Irina Maltseva

If you want your outreach to succeed, you need to bring value to the table. Two examples of Irina’s pitch showcased what value means:

  • Not only did she offer to add editors to Hunter’s affiliate program, but she also offered 1,000 free requests (if they had an account).

  • She offered to update their posts (i.e., do the work for them).

Bill Widmer

According to a survey done by the Influencer Marketing Hub, more than half of all affiliate marketers make $10K or less per year, while only about 33% make $10K or more per year.
