Hi I approached some affiliate networks last week, to join as a merchant, and one of them contacted me to say that they didn't want to take my money because they didn't think their affiliates would promote our site for cupcake delivery www.buycake.co.uk Hats off to them for their honestly and let me know if you want me to name them! Are there any networks out there suitable for our niche?
I believe most affiliate networks are mainly dependent on e-books and such, however, it doesn't hurt to submit to the top affiliate networks.
Do you already use Adwords? This would be far more effective than affiliate marketing in the cupcake niche.
