Makeup is an important aspect of cheerleading and dance, and Sigma Beauty offers a variety of products that are ideal for this group of athletes. Our Travel Kits, Dazzle Heart Mirrors and Retractable Kabukis are perfect for touching up your makeup on the go and at competitions.

Sigma Beauty Affiliate Strategies: Facebook 101

Today’s post will address how to get the most out of your Facebook page as a marketing tool for the Affiliate Program.  There are several strategies that have proven to be effective to generate commission and clicks. We will show you how to utilize your Facebook fan page or personal Facebook profile in conjunction with the Affiliate Program. 

Make your affiliate link a permanent section of your profile

You can add your affiliate link to different sections of your Facebook profile. Here is a great example of how you may do so in a passive and effective way:

*Posting authorized by Ruth Mota

Ruth M. updated her Facebook profile by making Sigma one of her employers and adding her affiliate link below in the work description.  By doing so, she has made her affiliate link visible to anyone who visits her Facebook page. 

You may also share your affiliate link under the ‘Contact Information’ section as your website. This is another great way to expose your link to those visiting your profile page.

Create a Sigma Beauty photo album

Creating a Sigma Beauty photo album on your Facebook page is a great way to share pictures of your favorite products and direct clients to your affiliate link. Just add your affiliate link in the description of each picture and your friends will have easy access to the products you love.

Share your affiliate link on your ‘Wall’

The Facebook ‘Wall’ is a great way to keep your friends and fans updated on new Sigma Beauty products, sales, and promotional codes. You can even share our YouTube tutorials associated with your affiliate link. Sharing relevant and useful information will help generate clicks and ultimately increase your sales.

Create a Facebook fan page

A fan page is a great way to reach a broader crowd without sharing the personal information that is available to your closest friends. The fan page can be used to share news from other social networking sites you may have such as your blog,  Twitter, or  website. Contrary to your personal page, which limits the number of ‘friends’ you can share information with, there are no limits on how many ‘likes’ or ‘fans’ you can have on your fan page. Sharing your affiliate link on your fan page will ultimately reach a larger number of potential clients compared to your personal page.

Be classy!

Remember to be classy and genuine when sharing your affiliate link and product information with your family and friends.  Don’t spam them, and respect that they are potential clients.  In turn, your viewers will actually appreciate being kept up to date with new products, sales, and promotions, and will generate more clicks for your affiliate link. 

Have you used any of these strategies? Do you use other strategies that you’d like to share with your fellow affiliates?  Comment below!

How to be a classy and respectful affiliate - addressing affiliate etiquette

Join the Sigma Beauty Affiliate Program!

Read our 'Welcome Letter' and learn about the NEW rewards program!

Dear Sigma Beauty Affiliate,

Today’s post will address how to generate a solid income from our Affiliate Program in a polite and tactful way. Affiliates are an extension of our company. When you become an affiliate you are representing our brand. At Sigma Beauty, our clients are the basis for all we do and we want them to have the best shopping experience they can possibly have, no matter where it starts. Sigma Beauty stands for quality products and excellence in customer service. As a representative of Sigma Beauty, we hold you to the highest standards.

There are polite ways that you can effectively share your affiliate link and generate sales. Passive sharing is one of the best strategies you can use. Examples of passive link sharing include blog banners and the addition of your affiliate link in a permanent section of your social network of choice, such as your profile or bio information. You can also make your affiliate link a permanent component of your YouTube information box, right along with other links you share in every video, such as links to your blog or website. These are respectful ways you can passively approach your potential customers. Spamming your potential clients will only drive them away. 

Besides using your affiliate link in a banner format, permanently sharing in your profile, bios, or YouTube info box, you can always occasionally share your thoughts about a specific product or exciting news on upcoming or new Sigma Beauty products and include your affiliate link. When you share relevant and interesting information occasionally, your potential customers are more likely to pay attention, be interested, and ultimately click on your link. Again, moderation is key. You do not want to drive your potential customers away by repeatedly addressing the same subject in your social networking sites.

Being honest and genuine with your viewers and followers is always the best approach. They will appreciate your honesty and you can ultimately build a great relationship based on trust. Keep in mind your own shopping behavior and experiences when formulating your affiliate program strategies. If an action seems exaggerated or pushy to you, this is likely how it will be perceived by your customers.

Be smart, respect your viewers and followers, and enjoy all that the program can offer you!

Thank you for joining the Sigma Beauty Affiliate Program!
