Super Affiliates

I have a business that has made millions of bucks over the years. Big deal I hear you say and rightly so. So what do I want?

I have relied on google to provide my traffic and I don´t like how volatile it is. I also have a small affiliate program with CJ. I get good biz from CJ but I want more. I am speaking with my manager later today to see what more we can do.

My basic service sells for $149 with larger solutions at $199 and $289. Here is what I want to know....

What do I need to do to attract the best affiliates in the business? I mean the top affiliates who don´t get out of bed unless there is a chance to make serious money. What affiliate networks should I belong to? How much should I pay an affiliate for a sale? Should I sign with an affiliate management company and if so, which one?

I am really looking to ramp up my affiliate side Massively but as someone who has relied for too long on google, I am not really sure how to get to the honey.

Any advice?

Please share your ideas no matter how daft they may be

Thanks for your help.

Simon

        I appreciate that but where will I find these people? Is there an affiliate management company that specializes in working with these people? Who are the number 1 go to team that can turn a shitty affiliate program into the next level?

        Thanks

    Hi,

    Try looking at participating in some I.M. conferences where you'll be able to do
    some TOP JV's, make connections with others who have access to some TOP
    affiliates.

    Sometimes knowing the right people and finding them pays far better than just
    strategy alone.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have any conferences in mind?

    OK...just a little update. I have had a chat with my CJ account manager and they think there is a lot of potential in ramping up the program so I´m going to see what we can do there.

    I´m still interested in developing a relationship which will be very lucrative for both parties with other networks and top achieving individuals so if anyone has anything to add there that might help me locate these people or suggest other networks or an affiliate management team then I´m all ears.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks
