Best Way to Attract Affiliates?

The best way is to have a great offer for affiliates. Offer a high commission percentage and give them tools to help them promote your stuff.

Another good way is to actually convert your customers into affiliates on the back end.

The best way to attract affiliates is to create a killer product or service that people use, love, and rave about.

Then combine that with a great sales letter.

Top it off with a high conversion rate and generous commissions.

Remember a desirable product/service and a compelling offer is the key to attracting affiliates.

If you have that they will come knocking at your door.

And if they come knocking at your door already you can imagine how much easier it is to get other affiliates by you contacting them.

If no one is knocking at your door... and you have had exposure in your market to a lot of traffic and potential buyers then you may still need to work on your offer first to make it more compelling and desirable.

I think mailing a (physical) postcard or sincere letter would be a great idea. Especially to get the attention of the big affiliates.

The idea is to stand out from the crowd and to show a commitment on your part to be willing work together with your affiliates. Everyone knows that E-mail is easy to send and virtually costless. It doesn't say very much when you send an email... but when you send a physical mailing piece, that speaks a lot about your sincerity and commitment.

Nope your content and formatting style can help you to attract your customers.

Here is some tips:

Initially, you should even consider splitting half of your product revenues to encourage affiliate participation.

Have graphics available to help affiliates with marketing. It is a good idea to create a variety of graphics or banners for affiliates to use when marketing your product.

Reward high-producing affiliates: everyone likes to be rewarded for their efforts and hard work. You can use this simple human psychology to your advantage by offering monthly bonuses to the most productive product marketing and sales affiliates.

Attracting more affiliates to your business does not matter evidently because the issue is not of the more affiliates you get, the more money you make.No, it`s how to manage your affiliates successfully and how to help them make money promoting your products and services. You need to be engaged. If you keep your affiliates happy, they will likely be more productive, which means more money for them as well as for you!

If you don't have EPC data to offer then relationship building.
Contact potential affiliates personally.

1. High commission rate (nobody got time to promote low commission product). I would recommend at least 30% commission. 10%, 20% is just too low.

2. Good product and easy to sell out. If your product is not a good product, it is very hard to promote.

3. It surely takes time.

I'm an affiliate for over the span of years and I know what affiliates are looking for. High commission and good product, that's all.
