I have had 9 months now on CB and have had regular,"success" with my products on there. But the thing is, not ONE single affiliate sale from any affiliates for my product! I have not actively seeked out any either, but is it really that hard to find some affiliates? I am in the health niche btw.
Try giving them tips on how to promote as well as affiliate materials such as banners, articles and other creatives Oh, and increase the amount of commission they get Good luck!
When I am looking for a product to promote I base it on these factors: How well the landing page is constructed. Is there any links taking prospects away from the sales page. Is there alternative payment methods on the sales page that could lose my commissions. The free content that is made available to me in the affiliates section for example, Articles, Banners, Animated Banners, Email Promotions, Adwords Suggested Keywords, Preview or Review of the product. Yours, Laura_D
A good thing is to also go to webmaster forums where affiliates typically talk (like this one) and put the site in your sig (like yours), and even in a post like (this thread). I promote a lot in the health niche, but I'll never promote yours if I don't know what it is.
interesting, you could have found some affiliates from this post had you worded it well and showed some links... I don't know how much luck you would have b/c you need pretty much perfect landing pages.
I guess just the top 10%-20% of products make all the money in CB. It is hard, you may have to use some other methods to advertise your product, till it get a little bit of publicity.
Here's the big one though; money. Money talks. The more money I can make the better. That means more money per sale and better conversions.
there's tons of ways of getting affiliates - just like there's tons of ways of marketing a website. It just comes down to what you come up with, you may have to use a combination of methods for each product. Just think outside the box. One thing you may want to think about doing is targeting the "How to make money with affiliate marketing" niche itself & start suggesting your product for people to start off with. why not right?
you could try JVProNotify.com - there are a lot of people with good lists there.. potential for some good affiliates. also try searching for websites that compliment your niche, spefically forums - people who have members that would be interested in your product.
