First potential partner to approach me

4 replies
Hey guys,

So I got an email today from a guy who is promoting a new product he claims him and his team have been working on for over a year. He says that he likes my site and thinks that I could be interested in working with him as an affiliate of his product.
He thinks we could have a good long term partnership together and he could bring me referrals and we could help each other. The products is in my niche of course, and it sounds interesting.

The thing is this is the first person who has contacted me who says he'd like to work with me since I started my site. The site is still a baby in the grand scheme of things. 1 year old.

So I need some advice, firstly, should I be careful? He sounds legit and everything but what should I be looking out for in you experience?

And also, I have heard that building relationships with others in your niche is a great thing but my question is, how important is it? Can it really help you and why?

The reason I am being so cautious is because this is the first site I've ever made. Im proud of it and it's not going too bad.

So, who has relationships with other website owners and how has it benefited you. ( if ud care to share!)

Thanks in advance

    If the product sounds interesting and you feel like you could work well together, why not?

    Building relationships in your niche can (not always) make or break you. By partnering with the right people, you can see an explosion of growth, or, you can lose people because you come across as spammy. Just make sure it is something that provides value to your people. If so, go for it.

    You can always ask to review the product of course.

    Building relationships is really the whole picture of internet marketing so give it a go and always think hey whats the worst that could happen? The best that could happen is you formed a new alliance, gave value and received value, and profited because of it. best of wishes to ya!
