This is where social media comes into play. Here are some ways in which you can use social media to boost your lead generation.
Utilise the Video Functionality to Satisfy Algorithms

You could create animated explainer videos to showcase the main benefits of your affiliate programs, or you could even do live Q&A’s giving people the opportunity to address any queries they may have about your offering.
You can stream webinars too, so you could even arrange to collaborate with some of your satisfied partners and discuss the benefits of the program, and their positive experience with it.
Explore Different Social Media Channels
We can be all too guilty of sticking to LinkedIn to generate leads, but in actual fact if your product is also targeting a younger demographic, other social media channels can be incredibly effective.
Facebook and YouTube are the obvious ones for streaming – however bear in mind there is lots of reach to be gained on lesser-known platforms such as Twitch. This can be especially effective if you are promoting an eSports product. You can even look to them for influencer outreach.
