Hey warriors,

Can any of you recommend a good affiliate recruitment service that you've used in the past?

I'm trying to increase the number of affiliates promoting my new clickbank product and I'm looking for a service or someone you can recommend who can do this well.

I release a lot of clickbank products throughout the year and i'd be good if I had someone or a company to recruit affiliates for me whenever I release a new product.

I'm not looking for an affiliate manager here, just someone or a service to recruit affiliates; I can manage them myself.

Let me know if you can recommend anything like this.

Thanks,

John,

    Some easy things you can do right now would be to place an ad in your category on the Clickbank Marketplace (or RAP Bank), hit up JVnotifypro, and post something in the Joint Ventures section of this forum.

    By the way, make damn sure that your product converts well and has a great sales funnel, or you risk losing those same affiliates you worked so hard to recruit.

      Thanks for the suggestion Russ.

      I'm already on jv notify pro but what's RAP bank?

      And yes the offer converts very well, I already have the second highest gravity in my niche and we've already sold hundreds of copies of the product.

      It's a pretty small niche though so that's why I'm looking for more affiliates.

    Partnerific's Affiliate Recruitment Service is such a Company.

    However, depending upon the value of your product(s) it could be expensive.

    RAP Bank is a directory for people who use Rapid Action Profits. Btw, I just want to say that if you're a vendor, recruiting affiliates is the best use of your time.

    In fact, it's the ONLY thing I spend time on. No article marketing, no Traffic Geyser, I just find new affiliates. It should be your top priority.

      I agree completelly man but I've found it hard to find quality affiliates being in a smaller niche (sports training) so that's why I'm looking to outsource this.

      Do you recruit your affiliates yourself?

      Truer words... never spoken.

      As a Vendor, recruiting/retaining affiliates should be your first priority (after new product creation).

      So many merchants continue to chase traffic the same way they did when they sold other people's products - when, instead, they should be finding others to sell product for them. It's their best source of volume, targeted traffic.

      For those who haven't learned this, yet...
      When becoming a merchant, you should shift priorities.

      You should focus, instead, on creating a top notch affiliate program so that you can recruit your own sales force. Then you can leverage the efforts of those affiliates by creating special offers, new products for them to sell, affiliate tools, etc.

      An affiliate network (Clickbank, RAPbank, RAPMall, etc.) is a great starting point, but you need to have your own affiliate program so that you can communicate with those affiliates.

      Listing a product in an affiliate network is a good way to get the attention of new affiliates, but you don't want to have to compete with all the other products in a third party network to recruit those same affiliates every time you create a new product.

      Having your own affiliate center allows you to communicate directly with your affiliates once you have recruited them. You can tell them directly about new products you create, and get them started selling. Maybe let them announce your new product to the market with a special introductory offer - rather than just hoping that they find your new product in the third party network(s).

        Hey man,

        I understand all that and I've had a great affiliate center set up from day one since I put the product on clickbank.

        I know being able to communicate with your affiliates and all that is important but what I need right now is to recruit more clickbank affiliates for my product.

        Can you recommend any affiliate recruitment service you`ve used in the past or maybe someone who recruites affiliates for you that I could also work with?

          Unless I'm misunderstanding...
          listing your product with Clickbank hasn't been the answer. (surprise)

          If your product is in the IM space, a WSO can be a great way to attract the attention of affiliate marketers (there are plenty of them here). Even a Free offer there could be well worth the price of the WSO listing.

          If not, you can often attract the same attention for a niche product in a forum that is focused in that niche. Don't make the mistake of breaking the forum rules (which probably prohibit direct product promotion).

          Instead, make a post asking for help, like so...

          Hi,

          I've got a great product (xyz) for sale at a great price (you can give a brief description of your product at this point, but keep it "broad brush", not a features list) - but I need help getting the word out.

          Anyone know of any good places to recruit commissioned sales people for my product?

          Ideally, they would be accomplished online marketers - simply because they would be reaching out to more than just their own neighbors, and we would both benefit from the increased sales that they would produce.

          Any help appreciated.
          Notice that the question asked is pretty much the same one you posed here, in your OP. You're not advertising the product, but asking for help.

          You might be surprised how many contact you on that forum, via PM, asking how to sign up for your affiliate program. In fact, that's your goal.

          If someone suggests other places for you to recruit, great. But you've placed your recruiting ad right in front of the people who are most likely to be receptive to your plea, and done it in a way that isn't likely to appear as forum spam. You're just making a serious plea for help with your business, in that niche.

          Can you recommend any affiliate recruitment service you've used in the past or maybe someone who recruits affiliates for you that I could also work with?
          Isn't that the primary reason you listed on Clickbank to begin with?

          Many make the mistake of thinking that simply because Clickbank has such a large affiliate pool, all they have to do is list their product. In reality, what's needed is to create as many affiliate incentives as possible. Give them the ad creatives, special discounts, etc. - but don't think that just because you have access to affiliates, you no longer have to do anything.

          You have to continually make it profitable for your affiliates to promote your products. AND you have to tell them about it. You can't depend on them logging into your affiliate center once or twice a week to see if there is anything new. Email them every time you create anything new for them. They will respond to new affiliate tools, special discount offers that they can pass on to their lists, new ads, new products and product launch opportunities.

          Do that job well, and recruiting new affiliates becomes almost easy. Maybe even unnecessary. Give them a use for your affiliate center, and then tell them every time you add something new. Give your existing affiliates new reasons to promote your product(s), so that they aren't distracted by someone else's.

            Hey Sid,

            I know you're trying to help and I thank you for that but what you say here I already know all that.

            I know I can go to forums in my niche to see if they'll promote my product, I know that just putting my product on clickbank wont get me affiliates (which is why I'm doing this) and I know that you have to motivate the affiliates you already have.

            I already know all that but that's not the point of this thread.

            I dont want to recruit affiliates myself, I want to know if anyone knows a service or someone I can pay and they can recruit affiliates for me.

              Yes but...

              Isn't that "supposed" to be the reason for listing with Clickbank in the first place?

              It seemed that you weren't getting any responses that directly answered your question, so I offered alternatives (as did so many others here) to achieve what I assumed to be your ultimate goal.

              As far as what you know, or don't know...
              there's no way to tell from your original question, and this is a forum - not email. Others read the threads, so I felt it worthwhile to explain the alternatives presented.

    Hi Sid,
    I took a look at your software RAP, this just looks amazing. When I finish the project I'm currently working on I'll be snapping it up (stuff Clickbank).
    Just wish I'd heard of it before I loaded my last product into clickbank!!

    I know some companies have affiliate managers, have you tried doing a search for them? I'd also be interested if anyone has had success using a recruiter.

      Hey Chris,

      As far as affiliate manager goes, theres a big forum full of affiliate managers that you can find.

      Just google " affiliate marketing forum" and its the first result I think.

      The thing is I dont need someone to manage my affiliates and motivate them; I know how to do that.

      I'm just looking to recruit more affiliates for my clickbank product but there doesn't seem to be any reliable service that does affiliate recruitment specifically.

    I'm stilll looking for a service like this guys.

    Can anyone recommend a good affiliate recruiter?

    I'm NOT in the "make money online" niche so don't worry I will not steal some of your affiliates if you recommend someone you're currently using.

    John,
