The best affiliates don’t just post a link and hope for the best — they build trust, educate, and insert QuoteIQ into the right moment. This guide highlights the exact methods used by some of our top partners, including real-world examples like ebooks, video strategies, local networking, and ad campaigns. Use this as inspiration to level up your own affiliate approach.
Proven Strategies from Top Affiliates
1. Ebooks & Lead Magnets
Strategy: Designed a free QuoteIQ ebook and offers it in exchange for name/email via a landing page.
Distribution: Shared via Chamber of Commerce connections, Facebook groups, LinkedIn, and short-form YouTube content.
Bonus: Builds an email list while giving value upfront — then pitches QuoteIQ via PartnerStack referral links.
Tip: Want to do something similar? You can create a one-page guide, checklist, or “free starter kit” to build trust before pitching.
2. Video Walkthroughs & Tutorials
Create a YouTube video showing how you use QuoteIQ for estimates, scheduling, or inspections.
Add your referral link in the description and pin a comment with a CTA like “Try QuoteIQ for $1 → [your link]”
Bonus: These videos rank over time and keep bringing in views and clicks long after posting.
3. Insert Into Your Existing Videos
If you already make videos about running a service business, this is the easiest win:
Example: At the 2-minute mark of a video titled “How I Quote Jobs,” insert:
“And I use QuoteIQ to handle all my estimates — I’ll drop a link if you want to try it out.”
4. Short Form Content (TikTok, Reels, YT Shorts)
Create short videos showing a problem (“I used to forget to follow up…”) and solution (“QuoteIQ sends reminders automatically”).
Caption and comment your affiliate link or direct to your bio.
These are fast to make and perform well with trending audio or day-in-the-life content.

Tip: Use ManyChat: Set up Instagram automation so when someone comments a trigger word like “quote” or “crm”, they automatically receive your affiliate link in a DM. ManyChat integrates with Instagram and helps automate outreach while staying compliant.
5. Facebook Groups, Reddits & Local Communities
Offer help in home service business groups.
Drop your affiliate link only when relevant (e.g., someone asks what CRM to use).
Better yet, share a story: “Here’s what happened when I switched to QuoteIQ…”
6. Email Campaigns
Build a short 3-part sequence:
“Why I switched CRMs”
“How I quote jobs in under 60 seconds”
“The tool that books my clients for me”
Add your PartnerStack link at the end of each email.
7. Your Own Website/Landing Page
Create a “Tools I Use” page listing QuoteIQ as your #1 recommendation.
Use SEO keywords like “Best CRM for pressure washing business” in the page title for long-term traffic.
You can link to this page from your bio, YouTube, and ads.
8. Run Google Ads & Facebook Ads
Post ads under “Business Services” or “Tools for Entrepreneurs” targeting people who might be starting out.
Keep the ad title curiosity-driven, like “The #1 App That Runs My Service Business” and link to your playbook or landing page with your QuoteIQ referral.
9. Sponsor a Local Networking Event or Tradeshow Table
Join local Chamber of Commerce, BNI groups, or niche meetups.
Print simple flyers or QR codes linking to your affiliate landing page. People at these events are already in business mode and open to new tools.
10. Include QuoteIQ Postcards in Shipments (For Equipment or Chemical Retailers)
Add a branded QuoteIQ postcard or flyer into every package you ship out to customers.
Each card has your personalized QR code or referral link. When someone scans it, they’re taken straight to your PartnerStack affiliate link to sign up. Ideal for companies selling pressure washing gear, soft wash rigs, or surface cleaners — you’re reaching business owners at the perfect time.
View Example:
Do’s and Don’ts
✅ DO:
Use your own voice and story.
Show real use cases or benefits.
Focus on helping first, pitching second.
❌ DON’T:
Spam your link everywhere — it lowers trust.
Make vague posts like “Check this out” with no context.
Forget to follow up or engage with comments/questions.
