We don’t make everyone a Brand Advocate. Advocates are our primary coaches as well, so they have to be ready to fulfill that role in the best possible manner. Coaching requires sensitivity, empathy and intuition. Remember that coaches are born, not trained. If you have that natural coaching talent in you, we will train you on how to refine and hone it.
Want to become an Advocate yourself?
- Advocates have to be specialists in specific niches or industries.
- Advocates can coach Social Traffic clients that are in their niche market only, and earn income from doing so.
- Advocates can promote Social Traffic products or services and earn commission out of each sale.
- You will be trained by Social Traffic to service and support customers before you become an advocate.

- Advocates get three revenue streams;
- Affiliate sales commissions for promoting other Social Traffic products, consults, or other services.
- Coaching fees providing coaching to your small business clients.
- Managed service retainers that you sell to your small business clients (if certified to do so).
Commission mechanics
As an advocate, if you secure a managed services contract with a client, the client pays a fixed amount on retainer (through PayPal) for a contracted period of time. You get an affiliate commission for selling a managed services of 10% commission recurring per managed service contract. If you sell your own managed service (off your own affiliate link) you earn the managed service providers fee as well as the commission. Social Traffic earns a second tier commission on your commission in this scenario. This will be managed through our affiliate tracking software. If an advocate or affiliate sells another product, service, advocate coaching pack, consulting session or a writer they will earn the 20% one off sales commission. Social Traffic as the product owner or advocates who provide coaching, managed services or writing services earn the fee associated with those services and Social traffic will earn 20% second tier on all commissions earned through all transactions.
The benefit to advocates is that you can build a client list, sell them a full range of new media marketing solutions performed by professionals who are certified as the best at what they do, you’re rewarded for the referral whilst being on the font-line to fulfilling solutions for clients within your specialty. These can either be clients you acquired or clients referred to you by other affiliates or advocates. All this translates into better value to all Social Traffic customers. It also gives advocates who would otherwise have to manage the finances, fulfillment and marketing of their own sole trader business stability by being able to focus on fulfilling customers needs without all of the other overhead or headaches of delivery.
Tracking performance
Advocates will be judged by the number of sales they generate, the number of consulting/coaching sessions they do, the amount of money their consulting clients spend, and the average amount of money they are generating through the Social Traffic company. All product sales, coaching allotments, consulting allotments, singular services & ongoing managed services are managed through our tracking software and are imported into our accounting software. If a brand advocate doesn’t earn Social Traffic money month after month, and hence is at a risk of steering clients away to him/herself, then they will be removed from the network immediately. Your focus must be to put as much through the system as you can in order to take from it and hold your role as a valuable contributor in your capacity as a Social Traffic brand advocate.
