A shocking 90% of new affiliates never make a single sale because they lack guidance, resources, or motivation after signing up. Brands approve affiliates, send a generic welcome email, and then go silent, leaving partners confused about where to start.​

The result:

• Low activation rates (under 10% for many programs).
• Affiliates leave after 30–60 days, blaming the brand or program.
• Wasted recruitment effort and opportunity cost.

To fix this, you need to hand-hold them through the process. For this, you require an Affiliate Welcome Series, which is a sequence of automated emails sent to new partners after joining your program.

This series guides affiliates in their first week, providing tools, education, and motivation to help them make their first sale. Engaging affiliates within the first 7 days can increase their chances of becoming active revenue generators.

A structured 7‑Day Welcome Series can solve this by:

• Reducing overwhelm with one clear action per day.
• Building momentum toward the first sale.
• Making affiliates feel supported and excited.

GoAffPro’s email marketing feature with drip email campaigns automates the entire sequence: triggers on signup, customizable templates, and tracking of opens/clicks to see what works.
