Create accounts in some famous trusted affiliate programs and draw attention on their structures. In my opinion, for affiliates the most important things are: user-friendly admin area / stable high payouts / convertible offers / quick quality support
Do you have an affiliate program you are offering? or looking into them? I'm a licensed affiliate with a very profitable company now. I'm very happy with the outrageous amount of training and support you get. This company has the highest commissions I've ever seen. You get your own live personal trainer/coach. Live & recorded training webinars for life. Done for you sale funnel. I can go and on. You market a front end product {90% commission $50-$1000} and the sales team does the back end selling for you. {commissions of $1250-3300 and $5500} The program teaches exactly how to do everything. The company's success is built on the back end of your success,so they want you to build your own business through them as fast and as large as possible. That's why the training and support is so important to them. Also,there are lots of perks and very generous prizes given in contests. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them for you,or get you in touch with someone that can. I will check back with this post frequently,and you can send an Email to me at Wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do. Darren
Ditto on this reply. If I were to set out to make my own informational product I would start out with a cheap product like $7.00 and give all commission to the affiliate, build a list and add back end offers later to make money. I would have affiliates sign up on a separate list so I could contact them later when I had something else to sell.
Yes, mourax, I fully agree with you. But except the important things for affiliate you've counted, I would also add terms of payment and the threshold. I was an affiliate of the program with 100$ minimum threshold, if I earned 99$ per month I could receive any. Now I pay attention to this criteria when choosing an affiliate program.
It needs to convert, pay on time, have reasonable pay terms. Also, it needs to appeal to a pretty broad demographic. If it doesn't have the potential to do high xxxx a day I won't even test it.
I'm a little unsure what exactly you're going for. If you're probing the public for information so that you can setup an offer that's popular I'd assume. After years upon years of affiliate marketing I'd drill it all down to this. 1) It has to convert. You can usually find a category by studying other networks offers. Generally, Super affiliates are the ones who setup the next best offer but I suppose anyone can try. 2) Have the finances to back your offer. I can't tell you how many affiliates (including myself) have been burnt because the advertiser didn't have the cash to pay pubs. 3) Net-30 Sucks - As a new advertiser, Net-30 looks good to you but in reality, I hated waiting to get paid. 4) Put your offer on a reputable network, there's no need for a description for this.

Gravity is the most important. It shown that it's successful with other affiliates, and you're not going to take a big risk.
