How to Build an Affiliate Funnel

Build backward from the merchant conversion: identify the buyer, the objection preventing action, and the content that answers that objection.

Map the commercial page first

Create the review, comparison, or recommendation page that satisfies high-intent visitors. Then build supporting informational content around the problems that naturally lead there.

Add only useful stages

Landing pages, lead magnets, email sequences, and webinars are tools, not requirements. Add them when they improve the user's path or measurement.
