    Hey David,

    This is the process I follow every time I launch a product on ClickBank and it works like a charm:

    Step 1. Go to the CB marketplace and enter in a relevant keyword to your niche.

    Step 2. Sort by "Gravity"

    Step 3. Write a list of all the products relevant to yours with a gravity above "1".

    Step 4. Go to Google and enter the name of the first product in the list into Google.

    Step 5. Write down the website and the contact details of anyone who is an affiliate for the product.

    Step 6. Repeat for every product on your list.

    You should now have a massive list of potential affiliates.

    Contact them and ask them if they would like a review copy of your product and tell them about your affiliate offer.

    I know this is a lot of work but it's worth it, trust me.

    You could outsource it but I choose to do it myself so I know it's done right.

    When you think about it... One affiliate who has a massive site and chooses to promote your product could be worth thousands to you a year.

    Hope this helps mate

      Hi Simon

      Thanks for the above. I'm also looking to launch another product on CB. My last didn't exactly fly, and so this time I wanted to kick start the gravity a bit.

      Your tips above are very helpful.

      Would you also use this forum to promote a CB launch? Or is that not the done thing?

      All the best

    If you have a proven product that converts then the top affiliates will find you.

    Simon's advice will help you find the affiliates, but you will then need to give them a serious reason to join your list.

    Lastly the personal touch of attending offline events and meeting the affiliate managers of the top people in your niche will also help to grease the wheels.

    Building a list of solid affiliates combines a lot of different things:

    Great Product
    Awesome Copy
    Amazing Support
    Attractive Offer
    And the list goes on...

    But by far, the most important in my opinion and the most valuable is building relationships. There are many ways to do this:

    Connect on Facebook
    Comment on their blogs
    Send them paying traffic
    And this list goes on as well...

    Don't blast out messages like "Hey connect with me, I want you to promote" but build a real relationship like you are courting a partner. This strategy will never let you down.

      David,

      Have you spent any time in this section of the Warrior Forum?

      Affiliate Program Data BaseNotice who is there and what is being discussed - that should give you some clues.

      Good luck in your search,

      Steve

    Ya the affiliate program database section in here is good and you could also look into getting in touch and building a relationship with a jv broker.
