How to recruit software affiliates?

6 replies
Hi,

We have a software product, called Knowledge NoteBook. It is ranked #1 student study software by Google.

This product is for students (college and middle/high school students). It gives them specific tools to make their study more effective, resulting in better grades. Yes, we can back it up.

Question, how to get connected with software affiliates?

Thanks in advance.

    You're kidding me right? Just because your product ranks first on a SERP for some obscure search term doesn't mean Google thinks it's good.

    If you really want to recruit affiliates to your offer you need 2 things.

    1) An awesome product that actually helps people.
    2) A sales page that converts as many people as possible to customers.

      YES.

      2) A sales page that converts as many people as possible to customers.
      Could you provide a sample sale or actual sale page URL for me to take a look at and learn?
      Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried doing PPC campaigns on Adwords?

    PPC might turn out to be cheaper than trying to recruit affiliates.

    The HARD REALITY of affiliate recruitment:

    1) For every 100 affiliates you try to recruit only a small % will join.

    2) For those who joined, only a small % will actually send traffic

    3) Of those who send traffic, only a small % will actually generate SALES.

    It's a MASSIVE numbers game... You're better off with PPC, IMHO

    If you want a CHEAPER way, try content marketing and reach out to blogs and sites that cater to students. You can outsource SOME (not all!) of this to content marketing specialists based in the developing world.
