Step 4 - Sharing options and guidelines
You will find resources for each of the products available for affiliate bonuses in the course menu to the left or in the dropdown menu from the top if you are on mobile.
Resources often include images, videos, text examples for social media posts, and text examples for emails. You can also go to Cara's social media profiles and watch for posts to share (including your affiliate link in the shared post or adding it to your bio).
While you should share your own personal experiences freely and give the affiliate link out anywhere you'd like, we do ask that you stay aware of "marketing guidelines" in any space you choose to share it.
As an example, if you are in a Facebook Group and think the group members would love to connect with Cara, please make sure sharing affiliate links/marketing links are allowed in that group beforehand.
We would also ask that you share tastefully, with compassion for those around you. Meaning please do not spam/post links over and over and do try to share in topic appropriate places.
If you have any questions or suggestions please reach out to support@caraviana.com.
General Affiliate Marketing Tips
Level 1: Simple Social Post Sharing
You do not have to have a large following! Sharing with the friends you know would be interested is more than enough. If no one "bites", don't be discouraged! People need to be ready in their own time for spiritual/energetic work.
1. Leverage Existing Content:
Share our pre-approved social media posts, graphics, and captions. (Basically anything that Cara has already posted or that we have provided in this "course".)
Use our provided affiliate links when reposting content on Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest. Include it in your Link in Bio section.
Share in groups you involved with etc.
2. Disclose Your Affiliation:
Always mention your affiliate relationship in your posts.
Use phrases like "As an affiliate, I may earn a commission if you purchase through my link".
3. Engage Authentically:
Respond to comments and questions about the products promptly.
Share your personal experience with the product in a brief comment.
