I developed Solid Affiliate because I saw a need for an easy-to-use and effective way to grow a WooCommerce business organically and without spending endless amounts on ads. I wanted to build something that would be future-proof and make people happy, to empower them to grow their businesses. (I also want to revolutionize WordPress development – but that’s another story.) Now a few years down the road, with thousands of satisfied customers and glowing testimonials, I’m confident that Solid Affiliate is worth your attention.

Super Short version; TLDR;

Here’s what some agencies with WooCommerce clients are doing:

  1. Mentioning to their clients that many other WooCommerce businesses are using Solid Affiliate.
  2. Pitching their clients on the merits of an affiliate/referral program. (see below)
  3. Quoting their clients for installation of Solid Affiliate.
  4. Seeing their clients’ businesses grow organically on auto-pilot, resulting in happy clients.
  5. Enjoying the well-built plugin and not having to deal with bug reports or time-consuming support requests.
  6. Living their best lives.

 

Testimonials from happy clients with Solid Affiliate installed on their WooCommerce sites.

 

As a developer with many past clients, I know firsthand theΒ true cost of installing any new tool or plugin: time. The time of setup and the time required for maintenance and supporting my clients. That’s why I made sure to refine and perfect Solid Affiliate until it was easy to install, bug-free, and intuitive, requiring little to no maintenance or support. In fact, I still handle about 50% of customer support for Solid Affiliate myself. How is this possible? Because the plugin is intuitively designed – by our awesome designer, not me – and because it never breaks.

But let’s talk about you. Why should you consider showing Solid Affiliates to your clients?

Not only are you providing value to your clients and helping them grow their businesses, but you’re also able to generate additional income for your own business. All the agency owners and developers that I’ve spoken to report back an easy time selling their clients on Solid Affiliate. It’s a plugin that grows the business, and will literally show them – down to the cent – how much money it’s made their business. Here’s an example screenshot from a real Solid Affiliate dashboard.

You know your clients and your business better than anyone, so I won’t tell you how much you should charge your clients for setting up a world-class affiliate/referral program – but I’ve heard of some astronomical prices being happily paid.

In addition to the financial benefits, offering Solid Affiliate to your clients can also help differentiate your agency or freelancing business from others in the market. By offering a high-quality, effective tool like Solid Affiliate, you can set yourself apart and show your clients that you’re committed to helping them succeed.

Using Solid Affiliate for your clients can help save time and reduce maintenance for your agency or freelancing business, generate additional income through commissions, and differentiate your business from others in the market. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.


But the benefits for you as an agency or freelancer don’t stop there. By offering Solid Affiliate to your clients, we’ll also give you 20% commission. And yes, the commission would be tracked through our own affiliate program, which is powered by…you guessed it, Solid Affiliate. And if you’re a large agency, you can even email our team and me at team@soliaffiliate.com to set up a higher percentage commission for yourself – reference this article, and we’ll hook you up.

Solid Affiliate makes it easy for your clients to get started with a straightforward installation process and a customizable commission structure. And once it’s up and running, affiliates have everything they need to promote the WooCommerce store, including links, coupons, and landing pages. The best part? It’s all automatic, with commissions paid out in cash or store credit each month with just a few clicks.

I’ve seen firsthand the success that Solid Affiliate can bring to WooCommerce stores. Nearly half of our own sales come through referrals, all of them powered by Solid Affiliate. It’s almost entirely hands-off and organic; I never have to pay a company for advertising or promotion – I only pay a fair commission % after a sale comes through. And we’re not alone – there are countless success stories from WooCommerce stores that have used Solid Affiliate to grow their business organically. You can read through many authentic testimonials.

So why wait? Perhaps you’re thinking about how to best tell your clients or thinking of some of the objections they might have. If that’s the case, I’ll try and help out in the next section.

Broach the topic of an affiliate/referral program to your clients

When introducing an affiliate program to your clients, it’s essential to approach the topic in a way that shows you’re considering their needs and the potential benefits for their business. Smart business owners are likely to be wary of new tools – and rightfully so! Here are a few tips on how to broach the topic of Solid Affiliate with your clients:

  1. Start by explaining what Solid Affiliate is and how it works. Share some of the key features and benefits, such as the easy installation process, customizable commission structure, and automatic tracking of affiliates’ purchases. The main point is that it’s a quick setup and thenΒ very little work to get things rolling. The tool handles things entirely automatically.
  2. Share some success stories or testimonials from satisfied users of Solid Affiliate. This can help illustrate Solid Affiliate’s potential impact on your client’s business and provide social proof that others have succeeded with the tool. See Solid Affiliate testimonials.
  3. Emphasize the value that Solid Affiliate can bring to your client’s business. Explain how it can help them grow their sales organically and without additional expenses besides the low price of Solid Affiliate. They are guaranteed to be aware of another affiliate/referral program, even if they don’t immediately realize it. A large % of businesses have some form of “refer a friend”, “get extra XYZ if you invite someone”, etc – because it works!
  4. Offer to help your clients get set up with Solid Affiliate. Explain that you’re happy to answer any questions they may have and assist with the installation process. Also, our team here at team@solidaffiliate.com will help them out as well. You can always reach us, and we’ll always be there to help.

By approaching the topic thoughtfully, you can show your clients that you’re committed to helping them succeed and that Solid Affiliate can be a valuable addition to their business. There’s no risk as they don’t have to pay any of their affiliates until after successful referrals; the plugin itself comes with a money-back guarantee, andΒ you could always remove it – there’s no lock-in.

Common client objections and ideas on how to respond

It’s natural for clients to have questions or concerns when considering a new tool or plugin for their business. Here are a few common objections that clients may have, along with some suggested ways to respond. These are based on logic and compassion, not on aggressive sales tactics:

The Benefits of an Affiliate Program for Your Clients’ Business (Or Why You Should Be Telling Your WooCommerce Clients All About Solid Affiliate)

An affiliate program can be a powerful tool for any business, and it’s especially relevant for e-commerce businesses looking to grow their sales in today’s digital age. Here are just a few benefits your clients can expect when they implement an affiliate program with Solid Affiliate. It’s important to note that only a few years ago, implementing such a program would be a significant time and money investment. But now, if your clients happen to be using WooCommerce, it takes just a few clicks because of Solid Affiliate’s native integration with WooCommerce.

  • Increased sales: Let’s be real – everyone loves making more money. And with Solid Affiliate, your clients can do just that. By incentivizing affiliates to promote their products or services, they can reach new customers and drive more sales. Plus, since affiliates are only paid when they make a sale, it’s a low-risk way to potentially boost revenue.
