How can I increase the number of affiliates?

Do you have an affiliate sign up portal on your website?

Many successful vendors have a page where affiliates can enter their ID, get a personalized affiliate link, and access resources like email swipes and graphics.

Also you should have a bit of a mini salesletter explaining why your offer is great and overwhelm them with oodles of proof.

This would include screenshots of your PPC/Analytics dashboards and/or video proof logins into your vendor account showing sales and proving that your offer is converting.

Also testimonials from successful affiliates if available.

If you don't have any of this yet, you need to focus on increasing your offer's conversion rate through optimization and testing.

Document everything for proof and maybe a nice case study that you can use to attract even more affiliates.

After that, you need to market your affiliate program.

An easy way to do that is to post it on popular internet marketing forums like this one and the others out there.

If you don't know where they are Google is your friend.

If you have a digital product you should probably list it on Clickbank or JVZoo because those websites have databases of thousands of affiliates looking for hot offers to promote.

A word of warning, don't just skip to the marketing part.

Make sure your house is in order and you've got proof your offer converts otherwise promoting it won't lead to very many new affiliates signing up.

Easy way? hmmm..
You need to drive traffic to your affiliate offer. There are some free and paid ones. In my opinion, paid ways to drive traffic is the easiest.

Or you looking for free ways?
A bit of strange and not accurate question.

The easiest way to attract affiliates is for you to do something for them first. When I first started out I would reach out to the affiliates and ask them if I could do anything to help them first. I would offer to promote them first and wouldn't even bring up my own offer. They would just naturally offer to promote me after I had already done something for them. Read the book or audiobook "How to win friends and influence people". Always think about what you can do for others first.

Are YOU selling it successfully? Wouldn't that be proof of conversion?

A lot of people who have their own program, what they do is when they get new customers, they offer their affiliate program in the back office.

So even customers are given the option to join their affiliate program.

People have done this for YEARS.

This is no underground secret.

Blogging is the easiest and the cheapest way to run an affiliate marketing campaign.

Easy way? Spend your money to promote your affiliate marketing program, e.g instagram shoutout, paid tweets, paid facebook post, promotion through a famous youtuber

As an affiliate myself... I would say case studies. Yes! For instance a detailed case study about how one of your affiliates was able to do really good numbers with offers from your affiliate network.

Then you can be able to pitch your affiliate network's selling points, be it bi-weekly payments, higher than usual CPA/CPS et cetera...

Hi, two of the keys to attracting more affiliates are the profitability and popularity of the product that you have. If you have a quick payment term or good campaigns with a high payout and CR, that will help you attract more affiliates to your program.

Products is good naturally it will attract affiliates. Put yourself in those buyer shoe, see an affiliate products if the product is good naturally you will buy it isn't?

Create Compelling Offers

Be helpful and provide as much value as you can. Selling online does not work, I have noticed that the best way to get more team members is just to be helpful and honest. It works!

You need to spend your own money and prove that your offer converts. No affiliate wants to promote an offer that doesn't convert well!!!

The easiest way is refer to your friends and friends of your friends

You need to drive traffic to your affiliate offer. There are some free and paid ones. In my opinion, paid ways to drive traffic is the easiest. Besides, products is good naturally it will attract affiliates. A lot of people who have their own program, what they do is when they get new customers, they offer their affiliate program in the back office.

Optimize your affiliate program page for SEO, leverage existing affiliates through incentives, and expand your reach through networking and social media. Additionally, offer competitive commissions, provide quality marketing materials, and continuously support and communicate with your affiliates.

The best way is to work with an affiliate network (there are literally hundreds!) and then put some budget into a special launch campaign.

Have a big prize for the best affiliate and leaderboard etc with other prizes. You'll get a lot of people involved and although it'll cost a lot at the beginning you'll be set for life afterwards.

The top 3 things if you ask me:

1. Find the right affiliate network
2. Higher commissions
3. Non-spammy outreach

The easiest way I approach was writing making money with affiliate marketing articles on medium.com, I gain 100s of affiliates within days. I am feeling so full now. try it and thanks me later....

Thanks it very helpful.

I think is to create a lead magnet giving them a reason to join, and that youre affilaite program is the best one ever
