In a previous article I discussed in detail the idea of having flyers and postcards printed as a way to advertise high ticket online products which paid you an affiliate commission of 50% or more.
Today, I want to expand on that idea a little more and talk about something else ‘offline’ that you could do which is relatively affordable.
I also don’t see anyone doing it which means that you will stand out if you do it.
I can understand why no one else is doing it because it means having graphics or signage on the sides of your car, but for what you can earn in commissions it would be well worth it.
I did a quick check on one site and could see that you can buy 2 magnetic car signs for as little as £18.42. That is colour printed signs too.
I don’t know how much wording you have on them, but you could easily have several lines of text and a website address.
Imagine being an affiliate for a product which pays 50% of £1,997 and having that sign on your car as you drive around the country.
Imagine, and this is a bit naughty, being a delivery driver and as soon as you pull out of the yard you slap on these signs and then drive around the town.
You don’t need too much written content on your signs. You just need enough to grab people’s attention and have them curious enough to go and find out more details.
As mentioned in the previous email when I talked about flyers, you could have a QR code added to the sign so that anyone nearby with a mobile phone can scan it and be taken directly to the webpage.
Here’s a great example of a dog charity in Thailand using a QR code on the back of their truck…

As all ways, I recommend that you create your own website with a decent URL that sits between the sign and the sales page of the affiliate product.
When I say a decent URL I mean something like www.BinTheDayJob.com and not www.bit.ly/33£$123Xcy!
The URL has to be easy to read and easy to remember.
The QR code will do the job nicely, but you should have a web address for people to see in case they want to check it out later.
The way I see it is… you pay £20… £30… maybe even £50, you could possibly splash out £100 on having magnet car signs made (or graphics permanently added to your car), and wherever you go, wherever your vehicle is park…
People can see your website that has your affiliate link.
Obviously, you won’t order signs that look like traditional trade signs that have a person’s name, their trade (carpenter or plumber etc), their contact details such as phone number and website…
No, you will be creating an advert that stands out to people which then directs them to an online address.
Something like this:
OK, it isn’t beautiful, but it doesn’t need to be, in fact, it is better if it is plain an ugly.
Keep it simple so that people only have to do two things:
- Read the text.
- Decide whether to visit the website or not.
Don’t over complicate things and don’t confuse people.
Confused people do not buy or click links to visit websites.
Confusing people is the fastest way to putting them off.
Remember the acronym: KISS…
It stands for Keep It Stupidly Simple!
I have heard it being called Keep It Simple, Stupid, but I prefer the first version as it is less insulting.
We humans love cool arty-farty imagery and flashy graphics, but when it comes to making sales, they can detract and confuse people so it is always a good to Keep It Stupidly Simple.
The sign on your vehicle has just one job, and that is to send people to a specific webpage.
Selling the product or getting people to sign-up for more information is the job of the website… and again, we use the KISS principle to avoid confusing people.
Once the system is set up, you simply drive around showing your car graphics or signs to as many people as possible.
Does this sound like something you could be interested in doing?
Kind regards.
