Finding Your First Customer
Your first sale is the most important milestone. Here's how to find someone who needs press coverage.
Start With What You Know
Think of local businesses you already visit: your barber, dentist, favorite café. They all need visibility.
Google Maps
Search for "real estate agents [city]", "law firms [city]", "accountants near me". Find their contact details.
Facebook Groups
Join local business groups. Look for posts like "How can I get more clients?" or "Who needs marketing help?"
Ask Your Network
Tell friends and family: "I'm helping businesses get on Google News. Know anyone who might need that?"
How to Talk to Business Owners
Business owners are busy. Here's how to get their attention and start a real conversation.
Be Genuinely Helpful
Start with: "I noticed you're doing great work. Have you ever considered press coverage?"
Focus on Their Problem
They want more customers, credibility, and visibility. Press releases help with all three.
Lead With the Free Trial
No credit card required. They can test the service at zero risk.
Keep It Simple
Don't overwhelm them with details. Just explain the free test and let them explore.
Starting Conversations Without Selling
The best sales don't feel like sales. Here's how to start conversations that build trust.
Ask Questions
"What's the biggest challenge you're facing with your marketing right now?"
Give Compliments
"I love what you're doing. Have you considered sharing this story with the media?"
Share Value First
Send them a useful tip or a helpful article before you mention your service.
Be a Real Person
Talk like a human, not a sales bot. Share your name, your story, and why you care.
Writing Helpful Facebook Posts
Your posts should educate, not sell. Here's how to write posts that get engagement.
Share a Tip
"Did you know that press releases can help you rank higher on Google?"
Ask a Question
"What's the hardest part about getting press coverage for your business?"
Share a Success Story
"A client used a press release and got 50,000+ views on Google News."
Be Personal
"I'm helping local businesses get featured on news sites. Here's how the free trial works..."
How to Build Trust Online
Trust is the foundation of any successful affiliate business. Here's how to earn it.
Be Consistent
Post regularly, reply reliably, show up every day.
Be Transparent
Tell people you're an affiliate. "I help promote EMWNews because I believe in their service."
Keep Your Promises
If you say you'll follow up, do it. Simple reliability builds huge trust.
Be Part of the Community
Don't just promote. Comment, like, share, and support others.
Following Up Without Being Pushy
Most sales happen after the 5th follow-up. Here's how to follow up professionally.
Follow Up 3 Times
Day 3: "Just checking in. Any questions?"
Week 1: "Have you had a chance to look?"
Week 2: "The free test is still available."
Always Add Value
Share a new tip, a testimonial, or a case study. Don't just say "following up."
Respect Their Time
If they say "not now," mark them for a follow-up in 3 months. People change their minds.
Be Gracious
"No problem at all! If you change your mind, the free test is always available."
