How to Promote

You’ll get the best conversions when you:

  • Share personal experience (why you like the product)
  • Show before & afters (especially for presets or editing)
  • Recommend it as a solution, not a sale
  • Spam links
  • Run paid ads using my brand name
  • Claim guaranteed results

If it feels aligned and honest, you’re doing it right.

Promotion Best Practices

What Works Best

  • Share how you used the product (even briefly)
  • Pair links with real photos, edits, or behind-the-scenes stories
  • Position the product as a solution to a problem your audience already has
  • Use phrases like “this helped me…” or “this is what I wish I had sooner”

High-Converting Content Ideas

  • Before & after edits (especially for presets and the editing guide)
  • “What I wish I knew earlier” posts or emails
  • Behind-the-scenes workflow breakdowns
  • Resource roundups or creator toolkits
  • Travel recap posts with a subtle mention of the tool you used

Transparency Matters

  • Always disclose affiliate links (it builds trust and keeps everyone compliant)
  • Share only what genuinely aligns with your audience
  • If something isn’t a fit for your people, it’s okay not to promote it

Swipe Copy & Talking Points
