Finding Affiliates...Where Do I Begin?

First, you will need an affiliate program that affiliates can sign up for. You can create one or use a third party affiliate system (recommended, as they have affiliates already in place).

Next, you will need to have somebody list your program in every affiliate directory known to man.

Let us know when you have finished those two things.

I know its not the best or most creative answer, but...
Use your Sig. and offer massive commissions.

Hey teach,

I like your site. Nice tutorials.

I think the most important thing about getting affiliates is, it needs to be obvious to the visitor that you offer an affiliate program!

I looked on your links at the bottom of the page and couldn't find anything. There needs to be a system set up that captures affiliates...

1) "Affiliates" page- Describing what you offer for selling your product.
2) Set up a system that allows people to sign up, and allows you to keep track of who sells, etc... (third party software like iDev Affiliate, or aMember might be good since you have a membership site, or...sign up for share-a-sale, google affiliate network, etc....)
3) Maybe set up aWeber so you can capture people's information who sign up as an affiliate so you can contact them via email updates/sales etc...
4) Offer graphics to people on the "Affiliates" page that they can use on their site (banner ads, product graphics, etc)

You just have to set up the Affiliates page and the system (since you don't want to use Click Bank), then affiliates will come. It looks like your product is pretty good. A lot of people would probably be interested in selling it.

Thanks everyone.

JRCarson,

I will find some tracking software and set up an affiliate page. This process sounds better than clickbank etc.. because I can keep control of my business. The only problem though, seems finding affiliates. That is, affiliates who use clickbank etc, can simply search the clickbank site. If I do this on my own, I have to go out and find my own affiliates.

Thanks everyone.
