Post one This or That template at the start or end of your regular content schedule to spark conversation. Pin the post or share as a story to maximize visibility. Encourage members to expand on their answers for extra engagement, but keep things relaxed. Rotate question topics and tailor them to current trends or events in affiliate marketing. Invite your team or top contributors to kick off replies and set the tone.
For all platforms, keep text concise for easy reading. On forums or Facebook, use bold or emojis to highlight the options. For Instagram Stories or TikTok, pair questions with visuals or polls. On Slack or Discord, post during peak hours and pin the thread for visibility.
Crafting 'This or That' posts around high-ticket versus low-ticket offers can help members weigh the pros and cons based on their experiences. For example, you could ask, 'Which do you prefer promoting: high-ticket items with fewer conversions, or low-ticket items with higher volume?' This encourages affiliates to share insights about commission structures, sales cycles, and audience preferences. Use the template to foster debates on strategies for each type, and prompt members to share real results or case studies.
Absolutely. Tailoring posts to traffic sources like SEO versus paid ads (PPC) can engage members with varied expertise. For instance, a 'This or That' post might ask, 'Do you get better conversions from SEO-driven content or paid ads?' This targets specific challenges such as budget allocation, content optimization, and ROI tracking, making discussions more relevant and actionable for your affiliate audience.
Compliance is a major concern in affiliate marketing. Try prompts such as, 'Which do you find easier to keep compliant: native ads or email campaigns?' This gets your community talking about issues like ad platform guidelines, email deliverability, disclosure requirements, and how they handle changing regulations. These discussions are valuable for sharing tips and staying up-to-date on compliance best practices.
Yes, these posts are a great way to crowdsource opinions on networks like ShareASale vs. CJ Affiliate. For example, post, 'Which network do you trust more for timely payouts?' or 'Better support: Network A or Network B?' This not only engages members but also surfaces pain points such as tracking accuracy, payment schedules, or support quality, providing both insight and value to community members.
Seasonal campaigns are a hot topic for affiliates. Use prompts such as, 'Do you see better results promoting offers during Black Friday or Cyber Monday?' or 'Which season yields higher EPC for you?' These posts help affiliates share data-driven experiences, promotional tactics, and creative ideas relevant to specific affiliate sales seasons, making your community a hub for timely strategies.
Controversial affiliate strategies can spark passionate debates. Set clear guidelines that encourage respectful discussion and factual sharing. If a 'This or That' post (e.g., 'Do you drive more sales with incentive traffic or content marketing?') becomes contentious, intervene to remind users to focus on sharing experiences, pros and cons, and industry best practices. Highlight learning opportunities rather than letting the conversation devolve, ensuring the community remains constructive and inclusive.
