Your guide to getting the most out of the platform - with Robby Blanchard, the #1 affiliate on multiple platforms.
Three videos. Everything you need to hit the ground running - whether you're an affiliate looking for your next winning offer or a vendor ready to scale with the right partners.
Video 1: Why CopeAffiliate? The Big Picture
In this first video, Robby breaks down what makes CopeAffiliate different - and why it matters for you, whether you're a product owner or an affiliate marketer.
What you'll learn:
Vetted, high-converting offers
Every product on CopeAffiliate goes through a real approval process. That means fewer refunds, less risk, and genuine confidence when choosing what to promote. No more guessing whether an offer is worth your time.
Your own affiliate program
If you have a digital product, CopeAffiliate lets you launch your own affiliate campaign, set commission rates, and create tiered rewards for top performers - all without upfront ad spend. Affiliates bring the traffic. You bring the product.
A real onboarding process
CopeAffiliate uses a KYC verification for both vendors and affiliates. This is what separates it from platforms that let anyone in. If someone is on CopeAffiliate, they've passed inspection - and so have you.
Full payout transparency
Commissions, timelines, and earnings are all visible inside your dashboard. No holdbacks, no hidden math, no surprises.
Video 2: How to Approach Vendors - and Build Relationships That Pay Off
Robby has personally taught over 20,000 students affiliate marketing - and this is one of the most common mistakes he sees, even from experienced affiliates.
The wrong approach: Reaching out to a vendor with "approve me, send me the links, and give me a commission bump" is the fastest way to get ignored. Vendors are people — and first impressions matter.
The right approach, step by step:
1. Lead with genuine interest. Tell them why you're excited about their specific product. Be personal and specific - generic outreach gets deleted.
2. Share your experience without being humble. New to the niche? That's fine — say so. But if you've driven results elsewhere, mention them. A five-figure day in a different niche is still proof you know what you're doing. Credibility is credibility.
3. Ask questions instead of making demands. Request insights on their ideal customer, targeting tips, or how to get started. This signals you're serious - and it gets them to reply.
4. Follow up consistently. No response? Be the squeaky wheel. A weekly follow-up is completely reasonable. Most vendors are busy, not uninterested.
5. Never go quiet after you get the link. This is where most affiliates lose. Once you're live, check in monthly - share what's working, ask for feedback, ask about upcoming offers. Robby has gotten first access to unreleased products simply because he stayed top of mind.
The best affiliate relationships aren't transactional - they're built over time. And on CopeAffiliate, you're working with vetted vendors worth investing in.
Video 3: If Robby Had to Start Over - Here's Exactly What He'd Do
One clear lesson from someone who's seen it all: the affiliates who struggle aren't doing too little - they're trying to do too much at once.
The #1 trap to avoid: spreading yourself too thin. Most beginners jump between products, niches, and traffic sources all at once - and end up going nowhere. The fix is simpler than you think.
The three things Robby would focus on from day one:
1. Pick one high-converting offer - and only one
Browse the CopeAffiliate marketplace and commit to a single product. Building campaigns takes real time and attention. Spread across four offers, you're giving each one a quarter of your best effort.
2. Stay in one niche
If you ever need to switch offers, staying in the same niche means your angles, creatives, and audience research carry over. Switch niches and you're starting from scratch every time.
3. Choose one traffic source and master it
Robby built his career on Facebook ads - and nothing else. Not because other platforms don't work, but because going deep on one beats going shallow on five. Pick your channel and get really good at it.
Bonus: Test more ads than feels comfortable
Robby's approach is to fail fast. Ten ads in the water means more chances to find a winner. Don't play it safe with one or two - the affiliates who test aggressively find their winning creative faster. It's a numbers game.
One offer. One niche. One traffic source. Test aggressively. That's the formula.
