Affiliate Sharing for Mobile, Tablets and LaptopsEach new affiliate of yours will get access to their own Affiliate Dashboard. It’s unique to each referral partner, and it contains everything that he or she needs to promote your store and your product(s). Affiliates get shortcuts to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter sharing.
They’re able to see their clicks and commissions in real-time (to keep them motivated). And they can download a white-label mobile app that puts your affiliate dashboard directly on their phones! Your Affiliate Dashboard Mobile AppSince your affiliates probably spend at least half of their “computing time” on their phones these days, it’s important to get your dashboard onto their phones. Our white label affiliate dashboard app will let you do just that.
They will download the Affiliate Dashboard app from the Play or iOS Store. When they input their email address, we’ll recognize them and put your dashboard on their phone.
Your affiliates can now tap their phones to share your link - a great way to boost sharing and for them to earn commissions throughout the day! Affiliate Marketing: As Cost Effective As It GetsPay-per-click (PPC) advertising – like Google Adwords and Facebook – are getting more expensive all the time.
While we invest heavily in Google Adwords ourselves here at LeadDyno, I can tell you that our click costs are constantly creeping up. Which means that next month, I know we’ll have to pay a little bit more to get the same results. Our affiliate program, on the other hand, is always profitable because we pay our affiliates a commission based on the sales they bring us. Until they sell something, we don’t have to pay them anything. Affiliate marketing is also more scalable than pay-per-click (PPC) marketing. While there are a fixed number of relevant keywords that we (and you) can bid on and make money, there’s basically an unlimited amount of product that you can sell with affiliate partners. A Quick “Plug and Play” With Your E-Commerce ProviderAs you probably know by now, most affiliate tracking software is pretty complex to get setup!
You won’t have any setup issues with LeadDyno. We designed it to be really easy to integrate with your website. Many of our E-Commerce integrations are “one-click.” For example, if you’re a Shopify store owner, you simply enter the URL of your store, give LeadDyno permission to connect with it, and you’re done. You simply do this once, and you’re ready to start rolling out links and marketing materials to your affiliates! We also provide complimentary setup help.
We’re available to assist five days per week via phone, six days per week via live chat, and seven days per week via email. Easy Marketing For Your Affiliates, TooNew prospective users often ask me how easy it is for their affiliate to share their link. It’s “stupid simple.” Here’s how it works When your affiliates sign up with you, they’ll automatically receive an email from you welcoming them to your affiliate program. This email will contain their unique referral link. It will also contain a “one-click” login link to their Affiliate Dashboard. The Affiliate Dashboard is where your affiliate can share their link via email and social media with a single click.
For example, when they click the Facebook button, they’ll automatically be forwarded over to Facebook, with a new post pre-populated, and their affiliate link already embedded! They can add a personal note or recommendation if they’d like – or they can simply click “Post” to get the message up on their Wall immediately. This “convenience factor” is huge. Affiliates are able to share their link early and often with their friends and colleagues.
It really couldn’t be any easier. The Affiliate Dashboard is also where they can grab marketing materials like banner ads for their website or blog. The banners will already have their affiliate link embedded. So, your affiliate can simply copy the HTML and paste it to their site – or they can have their web developer do this for them. Use LeadDyno to Track Online Marketing SuccessPay-per-click advertising is becoming increasingly expensive.

Use LeadDyno for Google Adwords Conversion Tracking, TooI never really knew how Google Adwords was working for me until I began tracking conversions with LeadDyno. While I always used the conversion tracking pixel that Google provides, I always found it to be imperfect. That’s because I want to measure specific $$$ amounts and sales while Google is only able to tell me if someone made it to a certain page. Like a sign up, or “thank you” page. That’s a good start – but I need more! Specifically, I need to know what somebody bought and/or signed up for how much they purchased and how long they stayed with us afterwards. This is easy to do with LeadDyno.
All you need to do is create a new marketing campaign tracking link – as use this link as the Target URL within Adwords. Or, if you’re advertising on Facebook, just make sure the link that you provide Facebook with is a campaign tracking link from LeadDyno. Don’t just give Facebook the link to your homepage – give them this link instead. It’s pretty much the same thing as using an affiliate link to track the effectiveness of a specific marketing campaign.
Because LeadDyno is already plugged into your website – and most importantly, your E-Commerce provider – you’ll have visibility into the entire sales funnel that was generated as a result of each specific advertising campaign you are tracking. I’ve been doing online marketing for the past decade, and I can tell you this is huge. It allows me to test campaigns quickly and easily. I’m able to let our winners run, and cut our losers short.
