How to Explain The MOBE Affiliate Program to People

Not everyone will understand or even have a clue of what an affiliate marketer is. When you are met with the basic ‘What do you do for a living?’, you might find yourself trapped in series of mumbles and awkward moments as you try to explain affiliate marketing to someone who literally has no clue what you are talking about.

It is important that you always have a clear, easily understandable answer to that question, because that person could be your next lead if you explain and sell the idea of affiliate marketing to them effectively. Below is a simple way to explain what you do with the MOBE affiliate program.

Use Examples People Can Relate To

Affiliate marketing is not a new concept. Businesses have been using affiliate marketing long before the internet ever came into existence. People were bringing customers to businesses for a small sum quite for some time now. Insurance companies have been using agents to go door to door selling the company packages, and paying them a wage for each person who signs up.

Explain that your business with the MOBE affiliate program is sort of the same, only online. MOBE has business training products. You go on the internet to find suitable people to buy this products, and when they buy, you get paid for bringing them in.

Explain The Online Work

Then you will go on to tell people that instead of going door to door like Insurance Agents, you go on the internet. You create websites and promote them so people can come see what you have to sell. When people come to your websites, you get their contact details, and start sending messages about the products you promote. Take this moment to offer your audience an opportunity to receive this messages too if they would just give you their contact details. Explain that the messages are mostly informative; about the business and how they can make money with this form of entrepreneurship, of course with the occasional promotions. 

Conclusion

This explanation might not give a detailed step by step walk through into affiliate marketing, but it is simplified in the most layman terms for ease of someone who does not know anything about this kind of business. It will help you avoid those awkward moments of trying to explain what you do, and potentially end up earning you a new lead. Gauge the person’s level of understanding of affiliate marketing, and start explaining to them accordingly.
