Best Tricks to Get Affiliates and Affiliate Broker???

7 replies
I have a product I'm looking at selling that is non-IM related and wanted a great place to get affiliates (I know most want to sell IM related stuff). The market is huge, about 1 million potential customers, and I think the product is great as it is a collection of my best ideas in a niche I actually worked in.

So how do I get affiliates or find an affiliate broker who could get this party started? Any and all help is HUGELY thanked in advance!

    To find an affiliate broker I would advertise on the Warriors Services section and maybe look on elance/freelancer for someone to do that work for you.

    To look for affiliates I suggest going to ezine articles (and other relevant article marketing sites) and looking for people who have written about your niche and contacting them to be affiliates for you.

    You can also find affiliates on Clickbank and other vendor sites, if they have a product listed in your niche then I am sure they'll have a great list which they can easily market your product too.

    Also you can advertise for affiliates in relevant forums.

    Hope these ideas help.

    Here are two methods that come up to my mind.

    1) Post your affiliate program on the JV section of relevant forums.

    2) Add your affiliate program to various affiliate programs directory.

    wpguide is right. the WSO section is a great way to increase the amount of your affiliates. If you have a small budget, try creating a fan page about your product and bringing Warriors in through there. That way you can have a base of users, and people promoting your product at the same time!

    I know this may not be the answer you want to hear, but the key is to drive traffic to your offer or program all on your own. Once you have tested and conversions are doing well, that is when you can approach quality affiliates with some stats and actual proof.

    Top Dog Marketer is right here.

    Get yourself some stats first, split test conversions etc, get it to perform well via your own testing then go to high rollers to promote.


    Ways to find Affiliates & Customers:

    *Google your term and look for sites that promote similar product and approach with personal email/phone call/ etc

    * Use CPA as a vendor

    * Purchase Solo Ads in periodicals that are relevant to your niche

    * Buy Placement ads on the content network (not search network at start)

    * Approach forum owners in your niche and ask if they would be interested in placing ads on their forum and doing a mailing to their members

    * Find a complimentary product and ask if they would place link in their thank you area (even a physical product can have a link to purchase, dont just think Digital)

    * Buy offline leads from reputable companies and then use SendPepper.com (not aff) to send out postcards to those prospects

    * Target local areas (if applicable) where your target market hang out and flyer drop (make sure you track results for approaching affiliates and for own R.O.I)

    All the best
