Affiliate campaigns | How to use ChatGPT & AI to optimise your campaigns

ChatGPT, Bard, and AI tools are all anyone seems to be talking about in affiliate marketing at the moment. We’re getting daily news articles, newsletters and workshops at every affiliate conference. But how exactly can ChatGPT help affiliates and advertisers in their day-to-day workflow? Well, we’ve asked ChatGPT to tell us.

We prompted it with 4 questions and 4 refinement requests to give you a blog post on its capabilities. It took us approximately 45 minutes to put the entire blog together, which, depending on the topic, could usually take 2 – 5 hours. And look, it’s not perfect, but if ChatGPT is utilised properly you’ll be able to scale up your campaigns quicker than ever before.

In this blog we’ll cover: 

What we asked ChatGPT:

 

Question 1: Please** write a 700-word blog post about how ChatGPT can help affiliate marketers.
Question 2: Can you please write a 700-word blog on how affiliates and advertisers can use AI and machine learning to gain a competitive advantage in their niche?
Question 3: Can you please expand further on ‘Automated Optimisations” and what tools high-profile affiliates can use to do this?
Question 4: How can ChatGPT be used to optimise content?

** Note:  We always use our manners, because, you know, we’ve seen Ex-Machina and I, Robot. When they revolt, maybe they’ll spare us for being polite.

From the answers to these questions, we Frankensteined together the following blog post to ensure it’s relevant to our target audience. Specifically on how exactly high-profile affiliate marketers and advertisers should be using ChatGPT and other AI tools to streamline and optimise their workflows. 

Unedited ChatGPT Blog:

Affiliate marketing has become an increasingly competitive field, with high-ticket affiliates constantly seeking new ways to stay ahead of the curve. One strategy that has proven effective is the use of AI and machine learning to gain a competitive advantage in their niche. In this blog post, we will explore how high-profile affiliates can leverage AI and machine learning to enhance their affiliate marketing efforts.

1. Personalizing Campaigns

One of the most significant benefits of AI and machine learning is their ability to personalise content and offers for individual users. By analyzing user data such as browsing history, search queries, and purchase behavior, high-profile affiliates can use AI to create personalized content and offers that are more likely to resonate with their audience. This approach can help increase engagement, boost conversion rates, and build customer loyalty.

2. Using Predictive Analytics

By analyzing large datasets, AI can identify patterns and trends in user behavior, allowing affiliates to make informed decisions about their marketing strategies and campaigns. For example, by analyzing past purchase data, AI can predict which creatives, products or services are likely to be in high demand in the future, allowing affiliates and advertisers to adjust their marketing efforts accordingly. Whether it’s identifying opportunities for growth, mitigating risk, or automating decision-making processes, predictive analytics offers a range of benefits that can help users stay ahead of the curve and achieve long-term success.

3. Automated Optimisation

By using machine learning algorithms, affiliates and advertisers can analyse campaign data in real-time and make adjustments to optimise performance. This approach can save time and resources while ensuring that campaigns are always running at peak efficiency.  There are a variety of third-party tools that affiliates can use to automate optimizations. 

One popular tool is Optimizely, which uses machine learning to optimize website and landing page design. Optimizely can analyze user behavior on a website and automatically adjust design elements, such as the placement of buttons or images, for maximum impact. Another popular tool for automated optimization is AdRoll, which uses machine learning algorithms to optimize retargeting campaigns. AdRoll can analyze user behavior on a website and automatically adjust retargeting campaigns to target users who are most likely to convert.

4. Sentiment Analysis

Affiliates and advertisers can use AI and machine learning to monitor social media and other online platforms for mentions of their brands or products. By using sentiment analysis, AI can detect whether these mentions are positive or negative, allowing affiliates and advertisers to respond accordingly. This approach can help affiliates build a positive reputation and maintain a strong relationship with their audience.

5. Building creative assets

Lastly, to show the content creation capabilities of ChatGPT we asked it to write us a copy for a product landing page, before offering prompts on how we can adjust and adapt the content as needed.

Question 1: Please write a 100-word advertorial about weight loss pills for a landing page.

As we said earlier, it’s not perfect but ChatGPT and AI tools can certainly provide useful insights and streamline workflow for affiliate marketers and advertisers. At the end of the day, they still require understanding and thoughtful questioning to leverage properly leverage these AI technologies. But honestly, once you’ve wrapped your head around them, you’ll see how beneficial it is to integrate them into your existing marketing strategies. 

It’s just the tip of the AI-ceberg.

While the blog post above is an incredible example of what ChatGPT can do for providing insights and copywriting, it’s really just the tip of the AI-ceberg. In this article we focused on the written content/copy. Looking for AI-produced visual creatives? Head to Flair.ai to design an ad for your specific product or adcreative.ai to generate beautiful ad creatives at scale. We’ll expand more on these possibilities in a future blog post. 

*One last thing to keep in mind, Google can pick up and restrict AI generated copy, so if you’re using it for SEO purposes make sure to run the text through a paraphrasing platform, for example Quillbot.com to keep that SEO juice.
