There are a lot of things you can do with systeme.io. First, let’s take a look at the things you can only do with systeme.io!

2. The 7 things you can only do with systeme.io

2.1. Sell a product without creating a product

With systeme.io, you can start selling a product without having to create a product on your dashboard.

This is made possible by the innovative resource mechanic.

How does this work?

Well, it’s surprisingly simple, actually.

When your customer goes to the checkout page and spends money on your product, they’ll get access to a number of resources.

It’s up to you to decide which resources the customer will get access to.

The available resources are:

2.1.1. Adding a tag

Tags for your email list

An email list is a powerful tool.

The tagging resource allows you to tag the lead as a customer, segmenting your email list.

Segmenting your email list will:

Help you identify leads who are still on their buyers’ journey and need some nudging
Help you identify customers who already bought your product
Tell you what the customer bought

This will become useful later on.

2.1.2. Granting access to a membership site

This will give your paying customer membership status and access to a members-only website or content behind a paywall on a members-only section on your website.

2.1.3. Granting access to a course bundle

This will give your customers access to online courses and webinars.

2.1.4. Subscribing to an email campaign

The customer is added to an email list to be part of an email marketing campaign.

This is where the tagging function becomes useful.

With an email campaign subscription and the tagging function, you can now send targeted and personalized email marketing campaigns to people who already paid for your product.

Existing customers are 50% more likely to make a second purchase.

By sending emails related to the product they already purchased, you can encourage further sales.

2.1.5. Creating an order for a physical product

Of course, if you’re selling a physical product, your customer needs to be able to order it.

This is the final resource your customer can have access to — creating a physical order.

You can now combine these resources to optimize value for both you and your customer.

For a customer buying an online course, you might choose the following:

Tagging so that you know the person is now a customer and not just a lead
Access to the course they paid for
Subscription to an email list so you can send that specific customer targeted emails on special offers or new courses related to the course they already bought

Creating and loading individual items onto your dashboard takes time — and time is your most valuable resource.

Selling access to a resource, rather than a physical product, saves time.

With systeme.io, you can make sales and improve the effectiveness of your email marketing campaigns without having to create individual products on your dashboard — how’s that for a time saver!

2.2. Automatically cancel access to a product

No matter how great your products are, not everyone will be happy with what you have to offer.

Inevitably, some customers will cancel subscriptions or request a refund on products.

You can try to win them back with special offers or a personal email to identify the issue, but sometimes, you just need to let them go.

With systeme.io, when a customer leaves, their access to the resources they’ve paid for is canceled automatically.

For example, if they paid for a subscription to an online course, their access to the course will be removed once they receive a refund.

With most other platforms, such as Wix or Keap, you need to remove their access to the product manually.

This takes time and when you have many customers to manage, some cancellations may fall through the cracks.

Customers having access to exclusive content, without paying for it, will cost you money.

And you don’t want that.

A blog providing some free content will not only boost your SEO but will also provide your paying and not-yet-paying customers with value.

With all that valuable free content, if the customer is no longer interested in paid content, remove their access — automatically.

Now you can focus your attention on providing your loyal customers with even more value.

2.3. Get affiliates without a drawn-out registration process

Affiliate marketing is the process by which an affiliate gets paid for promoting someone else’s product or service.

With affiliate marketing, more people have a financial interest in promoting your product, so your product will reach a wider audience.

Registering affiliates can be a long, drawn-out process, but with systeme.io, it’s easy.

Every person on your email list is an affiliate.

Whenever a customer buys your product, or opt-in to your list, they receive an affiliate ID, so they can start promoting your product immediately.

And since these people are already enthusiastic about your product or idea, who better to promote your product?

All you need is a squeeze page to start adding affiliates to your list.

Some companies have a long list of requirements or an extensive registration process that affiliates must go through, but who has the time for that?

Without the lengthy registration process, how do they get paid?

Well, we’ll get to that, so keep reading!

Affiliate marketing can boost revenue by up 30%, so it’s worth investing time and effort in setting up an affiliate program.

Avoid the friction of a drawn-out registration process and build your affiliate program with people who already know and love what you do.

2.4. Run an affiliate program with lifetime commissions

Happy affiliates mean more people marketing your business and your products.

With systeme.io, you can run an affiliate program that offers lifetime commissions — that’s enough to make anyone happy!

Most businesses don’t pay any commissions to affiliates after the original sale.

The affiliate only gets a commission on the first sale after referring a customer to a specific business. For subsequent sales, the affiliate gets nothing.

Here’s the big advantage of using one tool for every aspect of your business.

Your email list and affiliate program are being hosted by the same software, so tracking affiliate sales and paying your affiliates a commission on each future sale from the customer they referred to your business is really easy.

With systeme.io, affiliate ID tracking is done in both the database and with cookies.

If you only use cookies, tracking affiliate IDs become much harder if the referred customer is using a different device — and most people these days have multiple devices.

Let’s take a look at an example:

An affiliate, let’s call her Katy, refers Dan to your business.

Dan opts into the list from his laptop at home but doesn’t buy anything yet.

Six months later, Dan gets an offer that interests him and he buys the offer. However, he is now using his cellphone, not his laptop, because he is at the beach.

With systeme.io’s tool, the affiliate ID is automatically added to every email sent to the lead referred by your affiliate, so Katy’s affiliate ID is added to the email sent to Dan.

Even though Dan bought the offer from a different device, Katy can still get her affiliate commission.

If Dan buys a second or third product, Katy still gets the lifetime commission on each sale since her affiliate ID is added to each email sent to Dan.

Of course, it’s your business, so you get to decide if you want to pay your affiliates and how much you want to pay them.

With systeme.io, on each payment page, you can set the percentage you want to pay to affiliates.

It’s that easy.

Lifetime commissions are a great way to show affiliates that promoting your product is a long-term opportunity to make money — leading to more affiliates.

More happy affiliates mean more people promoting your product — everybody wins!

2.5. Share your affiliate commissions

When running a business, you don’t always have to go at it alone.

Building strategic partnerships with businesses that sell products that complement yours, and vice versa, is an effective way to attract more leads and build your audience.

If you promote a partner’s product to your email list, you get the affiliate commission for sales.

But what about your affiliates?

Systeme.io allows you to share any affiliate commissions you earn with your affiliates.

Let’s go back to Dan and Katy.

Let’s say you wish to promote a product from a partner who happens to sell a product that compliments yours and that your customers might find interesting.

Dan agrees and buys the product.

You get your commission on the sale.

With systeme.io, you can now share a percentage of the commission you earned from the sale to Dan with Katy, the affiliate who referred Dan to your business in the first place.

Remember how the affiliate ID is automatically added to any email sent to the person referred?

Sharing your commission with affiliates is a great way to draw in more affiliates to promote your products.

This grows your email list, giving you more leads to market offers to, increasing sales all around.

2.6. Publish your offer on the systeme.io marketplace

Systeme.io marketplace

Ecommerce sales account for 21% of retail sales worldwide, so having your products available on an online marketplace is a must for today’s businesses.

An online marketplace is a platform where many different businesses advertise and sell their products — like Amazon.

With an online marketplace, you’re only limited to everyone with an internet connection, no matter where in the world they are.

With almost 48% of shoppers heading to a marketplace first, that’s where you want your product to be.

Most online marketplaces will cost you — at Amazon, you need to pay for a sales plan as well as referral fees from 8% to 15% (or more).

With systeme.io, all you need is a free account, and you can place your offers and products on the systeme.io marketplace for no extra fees.

The systeme.io marketplace is also a great place to find offers to promote to become an affiliate or find affiliates to promote your products.

Using the systeme.io marketplace to promote your products and find affiliates will definitely build your audience and boost your sales.

2.7. Automate payments to affiliates

You have affiliates, you’ve joined the systeme.io marketplace to find more affiliates — how do you go about paying all your affiliates?

With systeme.io, affiliates are paid automatically which means that you don’t have to spend time paying your affiliates manually.

There are two options for paying commissions — PayPal and TransferWise.

With PayPal, paying your affiliates is easy, you simply use PayPal Mass Pay.

Wire transfer used to be a bit of a problem.

However, with TransferWise, the vendor needs to create a Borderless Account — which takes about 3 clicks — and connect it to their systeme.io account.

Affiliates will have a profile page where they choose their preferred payment method and fill in the necessary details to generate the invoice and get the money to them.

Systeme.io will automatically generate invoices and do the payments to your affiliates — easy!

Affiliate marketing is powerful but that doesn’t mean that you need to spend extra time sorting out payments — systeme.io does that automatically making it easy for everyone.
