Can We Start a Thread about how to attract Affiliates?

Talltom1 · 01-27-2009, 06:30 AM

Good Morning everyone from freezing cold Detroit, Michigan. Yes, there still is someone living in Detroit.

I just spent some time using the 'Search' function above, trying to fiind a thread that discusses how to attract affiliate marketers at PayDotCom and Clickbank, without much success.

I've been doing the IM thing for awhile, however, I'm just starting the affiliate marketing process, so I don't have many 'followers' yet.

What process, or technique, do you use to attract affiliate marketers?

Here are some ways:
1) Ask your friends at the wf.
2) Post in the jv section.
3) Email your list if you have one.
That'll get you started.

I agree i find getting affiliates hard and i have tried all the things that Tom has mentioned

Once again, it seems that the issue of attracting eyeballs is the biggest challenge.

I've created a great product, great landing page with good graphics, put together a solid offer, and set up affiliate programs on CB and PDC. Or should I say, 'just another one of many affiliate programs on CB and PDC'. How do I let potential affiliates even know this opportunity exists?

well for clickbank it tends to be a gravity thing. One neat little trick is to sign up like 4 to 5 new clickbank names. Then you create a LP for your main site that has a script in in it that rotates those names for your product. Drive traffic and once you see some sales you rank in clickbank should rise. If you can get it to around 20 gravity you should be alright.

Now, what kind of affiliate tools do you have? Pre made articles, and landing pages. Emails, press releases, banners, adword ads, and keyword lists? You dont have to get super specific but the more you have their the more affiliates will want to promote you because it is less work for them. Good luck!

I'd think one good way would be forums, there are some that are just affiliate forums, many IM forums have affiliate sections. Are there not forums dedicated just to CB or PDC? Push your program in your sig. Maybe your already doing it. Forums was usually how I found most of my affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing articles to the directories, Affiliate marketing ebooks you give away. Show them how they can make money with affiliate marketing and more with your product(s)

It would be great if you could talk to Andy Henry here at the WF.

He was a moderator for Phil Wiley's Affiliate Talk Forum and that forum was all about affiliates as you can tell from the name.

It was a hangout for "Super Affiliates" and I'm sure Andy has seen just about every post you can imagine on the subject.

Just put advertisement at affiliate classroom magazine. A lot of super affiliates read that magazine.

Offer generous commission. You don't need to put any guide, they already know what they have to do.

Then use affiliate elite. Affiliate elite has a feature to track super affiliate for particular click bank's product.

Contact them directly, and try to ask them to become your affiliate. Basically, if you have great conversion product with decent commission $25 at minimum, they will love to join your program.
