Shareasale - $600 entrance fee.

Rakuten Affiliate Network - Entrance fee

Many other sites have time limits on private messaging their members (like here on Warrior Forum). This fact also makes me feel like if I message too many people, I will get banned or something terrible like that.

I am selling physical products. Offering 90% commission too. I have video marketing content already prepared as well. The product pricing is affordable and the website is fast and beautiful. Where/how to find and contact affiliates or JV partners for free???

I appreciate any help you guys. The existence of a place where we can share and communicate together is a blessing.

    The world doesn't owe you a living. You can contribute to this forum and promote your product in your sig file, or you can pay for a classified ad.

      Thanks Frank for mentioning the sig idea!

      Yes, I understand that the world does not owe me a penny, but there exist people that demand what I offer. I am trying to find those people and help them discover my products. No scamming intended. If you have any additional advice regarding this I would gratefully appreciate what you have to share.

        Just this: The terms "Quality" and "Free" are rare bedmates. If you're confident in the demand for your products, you shouldn't be concerned about investing in their promotion.

          Correct I agree. I just have very little money...

          So I thought partnering with someone (splitting equity), or giving 100% commission to affiliates would work.

          Thanks for your insight

        The rules of this game apply to everyone. If there were viable, dependable ways to attract customers at zero cost, everyone would be utilizing those methods and they'd be so well-known that you wouldn't need to be in search of them.

        Even the so-called, 'free' methods require a coherent approach and the results are at best, hit and miss.

        If you approach your techniques for building your business with a pauper's mentality, you will wind-up a pauper. "You need to spend money in order to make money," is a cliché for a reason. It's a fact of business life.

        Cheers.

          Thanks for the input,

          So do you think that people cannot find quality affiliate marketers for free?

            I believe that you will find that to be an exercise in futility. You get what you pay for, in life and business.

      Hi Mike thanks for responding!

      While I was registering for clickbank, they sent me a message "Sorry, you cannot create an account at this time", so now I am emailing them and sending them photo verification (they requested this). I sure hope I can find better luck with them.

      My products are Smart electronics for home and lifestyle. Like smart plugs, smart lights, etc.

    Kevin,


    Have you considered personally contacting the top or most popular web sites in your niche and seeing if the owner will send your offer to his list for a share of the profit? It's not exactly affiliate marketing, but your new partner could give you access to a targeted audience and hopefully endorse your offer. Since you share profits with affiliates ... sharing with a site owner shouldn't be a big deal.

      Hey Steve,

      Thanks for this. I was thinking about implementing this idea if other methods failed. At this point though, I am going to go ahead and try this out. I really appreciate the help, I have waited far too many years before reaching out to people on forums like here.

      Cheers,

      Kevin

    Hi

    What are your price points and margins? because it seems to me that if you can afford to give up 90% to an affiliate it might make more sense to wholesale?

    of course everything depends on the numbers which I don't have.

    but tracking down and contacting top sellers in that space on ebay and amazon shouldn't be too hard. If your prices are competitive you could sell case lots or offer the vendors a drop shipping deal....
