How do I get many Affiliates?

13 replies
I own a service site an want get some (or may) affiliates to promote my service for me and get me more leads.

I am willing to give them 70% of the earnings.

What is the best way to get affiliates? Does the "Affiliate Database" on this forum work? It is $100 dollars to post there so I want to be sure it is worth it.

Are there other places to recruit affiliates?

    If you already have an affiliate program setup for your service, you can list it in "affiliate databse" here OR on other affiliate program directory. If you can make your affiliate offer compelling enough for affiliates (your service, your conversions, your affiliate commission, etc.) there is no reason you can't get good amount of affiliates promoting it.

    I wish you all the best, may God bless you!

    Cheers

    Well if you are looking for leads then I would suggest a good cpa network, they have plenty of affiliates just dying to promote products and services.

    It would be ideal if you post your current sales stats etc. Prove that people will benefit from promoting your services. If you're getting a low conversion rate or delivering the service poorly (hypothetical, not accusing!) then you won't get affiliates.

    Tell us more about your services.

      I haven't got any stat yet because it is brand new and haven't had a chance to market yet. The service is top noch and in great demand thought! I'm still working on some final touches and proof.

      I can't exactly say yet what my site is but it is comparable to an seo service site. Some thing like that.

        Without being rude the more information you give the more likely you are of attracting affiliates at the moment you only chasing them.

          I understand. But I didn't start this thread to attract affiliates. I started it to get an idea of to to attract them, some personal experiences maybe and some places where I can find them.
          When everything is up and running I will give all infomration necessary in order for them to understand my business.

          I love the comments above and it is probably exactly what I am going to do.
          Thanks guys!

          Any experiences to share?

    Give as much details of your service as much you can to attract affiliates. You can use WF database for it and when you'll be ready to start, it would be better if you start a thread in WSO section where all affiliates every day to promote products and offers.

    Best of luck

    I disagree with the WSO method it is probably not the best place to promote an affiliate program, though the Affiliate Area might be. Honestly though, you need to try to market it yourself first... you need to be able to prove that your product converts well... there are other methods that could work, but if you are concerned about spending $100 then they are not worth mentioning...

    To prove that your product converts well I must say that WSO is the best place to start with

      I agree. You should prove that your service has great value by offering it as a WSO. In the WSO section you will get reviews about your service that you can use to show your potential affiliates that your service is valuable. Then you post your affiliate pitch in the affiliates section with stats and reviews.

    I think you can join commission junction or linkshare as a merchant, Affiliates will subscribe for your program to advertise and get commission.
