The Sweet success of Dipping BBQ Chips in Chocolate: A Lesson for Affiliate Marketers
BBQ chips on the counter. Strawberries in the fridge. Ants doing… whatever ants do. None of them knew they were about to star in the greatest experiment of all time. Why? Because December 16 is National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day.
Now, dipping strawberries in chocolate? Classic. Safe. Delicious. But BBQ chips? That’s where things get interesting. You take a risk, make a mess, and maybe—just maybe—you find gold.
Here’s the thing: marketing is a lot like chocolate-covered chaos.
Tried-and-True Strategies Are the Strawberries of Marketing
Every marketer has their “strawberries”—those tried-and-true strategies that are proven, polished, and predictable. Maybe it’s an email campaign that always gets clicks or a social media post that consistently drives traffic. These are the staples of your marketing diet.
And while they’re effective, sticking to just the classics means you’re missing out on opportunities to innovate and stand out. The real magic happens when you’re bold enough to try something unconventional—something like dipping BBQ chips in chocolate.
The BBQ Chips Approach: Shake Up Your Strategy
Imagine this: You’re scrolling through your go-to affiliate marketing methods. You know they work, but they’ve started to feel a little stale. That’s your sign to shake things up.
Trying something new in marketing can feel a little crazy, like dipping BBQ chips in chocolate. But here’s the thing—that’s where results happen. When you’re willing to step outside of your comfort zone and take risks, you’re more likely to discover what works.
Take this example: In just 40 minutes, one marketer made $227.82. Another earned over $769 in three hours. How? By trying a strategy so simple it almost felt too easy—copying, pasting, and sharing.
What Does This Mean for Affiliate Marketers?
Affiliate marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the best strategies are often the ones no one sees coming. Here are a few lessons you can take from this chocolate-covered chaos:
1. Embrace the Unexpected
Stop relying solely on what’s worked before. Experiment with new approaches, whether it’s testing a different ad platform, writing a bold email subject line, or even promoting an unconventional product.
2. Keep It Simple
Just like dipping chips in chocolate, sometimes the simplest ideas lead to the biggest breakthroughs. Don’t overthink your strategy—try a straightforward approach that focuses on action.
3. Leverage Free Training and Tools
Think of free resources as the BBQ chips of marketing: unexpected, but incredibly useful. There are countless free tools, courses, and communities that can inspire your next big move.
Bold Moves Lead to Big Results
The beauty of affiliate marketing is that there’s always room for creativity. While some strategies are predictable (and effective), it’s the bold moves that lead to extraordinary results. Imagine copying text from one place, pasting it somewhere else, and sharing it with thousands. No tech. No setup. No experience required.
That’s BBQ chips in chocolate. It’s unexpected, bold, and exactly the kind of strategy that can take your affiliate marketing to the next level.
Why Stick with Strawberries?
The safe, polished strategies will always have their place. But if you want to create something extraordinary, it’s time to dip into the unconventional.
