How to get Superaffiliates for CB product?

3 replies
Hello folks,

I launched my first CB product week ago and I'm doing pretty well. In fact, I have done many-many sales in less than a week, but my affiliates are performing really poor... They are just scraping my content and not getting any traffic to my site at all.. Is there any way I can contact them and tell them what they should do in order to get sales going?

Furthermore, I have tried to gather additional affiliates by contacting affiliates in the same niche and blogs in the same niche, but got very few replies or no feedback at all...I also contacted with few JV guys, but only 1 guy replied and said that he wanted to buy the product, but that's not my interest at the moment... I guess that's how it is when you are in a niche other than MMO/IM.

I don't know what do... One option is to advertise this product using ads on Clickbank marketplace (I guess it was $100 - $300 per/month), but I'm not sure about it... Another option is to just leave the CB unless I'm getting any good affiliates. (less hassle, no CB payment). No point being a clickbank vendor when you can't get any good affiliates from it. Seems like nowadays affiliates are picking only products that have huge gravity.

I have read many threads on WF about "how to find affiliates" and I have found some pretty good information. However, no success, at least for now... I know it's too early to say that, but still.

So if anyone has some good tips to find superaffiliates in non-IM niche then they are more than welcome!

Thanks!

    Provide a support page for your affiliates. Spill the beans on all the techniques you've used and which worked for you, plus suggest a bunch of others you know that work.

    Give them your swipes, your banners, your landers - the works.

    Anything to give them a chance.

    And then instruct them on how to drive traffic, both free and paid.

    As for super affiliates - you'll find many of them here on WF. You can also visit a number of JV sites where they always hang out.

    If your commission is generous and total package price is attractive (to a seller), plus if your product is hot and you can show that it converts well - you should have no major problems attracting these kinds of affiliates, actually. Especially if the product is new and unique.

    Not unless you've elected to whitelist affiliates and therefore get their email addresses (not normally recommended).

    The best you can do is have a good, well written Marketplace listing, affiliate page and vendor Spotlight page and encourage/incentivize them to opt in voluntarily, and then you can contact some. And even the ones who don't opt in will at least read those pages, so it's your chance to tell them what they might want to do. (And if you've already done all that, I apologize!).

    Affiliates who haven't contacted you themselves and/or haven't actually seen the product are pretty unlikely to send you much traffic or to make many sales, anyway. That's just the way it goes. (I wouldn't ever promote a product without contacting the vendor, myself).

    I'll spare you the "list of threads to read", then.

    Do your product and sales page match the expectations/wishes of successful, pro-affiliates? Or might there be something about it that's putting people off?

    If you're feeling very brave, you could perhaps link to your sales page for the purposes of asking the pro-affiliates here whether or not they'd promote it, and if not, why not. (I think the moderators normally tolerate that and don't remove the post as being "promotional"?). But you do need to be brave to do this, and what sometimes happens when you do is that a small number of pro-affiliates will explain their reasons for saying "no" (they tend perhaps to be among the 5% of affiliates who bring in 95% of the sales) while a larger number of others will often say they disagree completely (they perhaps tend to be among the 95% of affiliates who make very few sales?). So you still need a lot of judgment, to interpret the replies, rather than just "seeing what the majority say", which can be really misleading, to be frank. Just a suggestion.
