Upgrading Influencers to Affiliates to Drive Account Sign Ups

July 1, 2020
Financial Services

Key Takeaways

Tactic — YouTube & Blog Affiliate Marketing: Partner up with micro YouTube influencers and bloggers in the financial space and provide them with affiliate links or a customized promo code. Creating an affiliate program will encourage influencers to produce high quality video content about your brand without having to sponsor every video, as there is now a financial incentive. 

Tactic  — Attract New Customers With a Promo: Include a promo with your affiliate link. Competitors such as Wealthsimple and KOHO are offering cash back bonuses for new customers. Encourage your affiliates to promote deals whenever they advertise their affiliate link to boost sales.

Track Affiliate Sales & Reward Your Affiliates: Use tools such as Voluum to track the performance of your affiliates and optimize your affiliate strategy. Reward high performing influencers with higher commission rates or offer additional benefits to build a strong relationship with your affiliate network.

Since January 2020, YouTube generated the highest volume of social site visits for both KOHO (54%) and Wealthsimple (41%).

Volume

To drive traffic from YouTube, Wealthsimple provides influencers with an affiliate link, which allows them to earn a commission for new sign ups.
