      The very best things you can do to get affiliates is
      1. Contact them directly
      2. Have a very high converting sales page
      3. Offer generous commissions of 60% or more
      4. Give them ready-made high converting marketing materials
      5. Make your product the highest quality in the niche
      6. Offer the best affiliate assistance and communication in the business
      7. Remove the risk from them of getting paid absolutely and very quickly
      Now go do it.

        First of all seems like a really worthy topic.

        But Iam just wondering whether educational programs on Bullying and ways to stop bullying are something many affiliate marketers would be interested in promoting.

        Not that it is not a noble cause but just for the fact there may not be a lot of money to be made in this Niche.

    Throwing it on ClickBank is definitely an awesome way to go.

    Also, did you know that you can PAY ClickBank to advertise your affiliate program for you? (It's not cheap, a few hundred bucks at least, but this will definitely get eyeballs on your promotion).

    Also...

    You might consider figuring out *WHO* you would like to promote your product... Seriously. Make a list of people you'd like to promote for you.

    And then GIVE THEM review access. Tell them that you're a big fan of their work, and that you would absolutely cherish the opportunity to have them on board.

    PS:

    You can also promote your affiliate program right here in the WarriorForum. Don't quote me, but I believe a listing costs only $20.

    I've spent a ton of cash advertising my stuff here on the WF over the years, and I can say without hesitation that the prices are an absolute bargain and the ROI is almost always easy to achieve, and quickly too I might add.

    I wish you the best.

    You could look to Facebook I have seen groups where you can post the opportunity for affiliates to sign up, also if you have a Facebook page you can target affiliates with ads to join you. If you don't have a page you can still post ads but they will not show in the news feed where most people try to target there ads.

    It's best to always keep in mind the outlook of any affiliate, or anyone else that you want to 'get on your side', and that boils down to "What's in it for me?"

    So, what do affiliates want?

    What would you want, if you made your living as an affiliate?

    1) An offer that people will be interested in, so it will get some 'traction'

    2) An offer that has a funnel which will pay out (at least) enough to make it worth your while

    3) An offer from someone with a 'track record'. So, not first-timers, or those with no 'track record'. Someone who has created enough offers to be known or recognized, and thus, has a good chance of people paying attention to their 'newest' offer.

    4) An offer that is well put-together. Professional. Well-tested. Flows smoothly. Looks great, etc. etc.

    5) An offer that will put a SIZEABLE amount of money in their pocket. And that means affiliate commissions in the range of 75% to 100%.

    If you really want the big affiliates, you HAVE to be willing to make it worth their while.

    Bear in mind that the 'big' affiliates get hit every day with many requests from people, asking them to promote their product...plus, they're looking around for good offers themselves. So they have a LOT to choose from.

    So unless you already are well-known, and have some 'juice', it may take a while to get the top affiliates attention.

    Consistently putting out truly good products WILL get the attention of the affiliates who will make a difference.

    I hope this helps, and I certainly wish you the very best!
