    My site has little traffic and my YouTube channel gets very little views. But I just got my first ebook up on clickbank (it's getting reviewed at the moment) now how do I find affiliates with trafficked websites to promote my ebook? It's a good ebook but if no one knows that won't help at all.
    I have 35% commission and the book is $30 should I change the commissions or price? And how do I fond affiliates?

    As the say on Mythbusters " Well there's your problem"..............35% commission wouldn't even make people here batter and eyelid....you need to be throwing 75% out there to get affiliates interested.

    An ebook for photoshop???...........I'm not so sure about that....I've purchased a couple of photoshop dvd's but I can't imagine trying to learn off a ebook??

    What videos do you have on youtube....I'll go for a look and see what they are like?

    I have added more content and upped the price to $40 and the comission to 70%. That means $28 goes to the affiliate.

    I had a quick look at your videos and they looked ok but there was no sound on them?.....that's probably half the reason you don't have many views. I go to youtube when I need to find out how to do something on PS and look for videos but if I clicked on yours I would keep searching and I definitely wouldn't look for your other videos because you don't have sound, there is no speaking telling me what I should do or giving me tips.

    I think an ebook would be a hard sell, especially with the likes of youtube and the Lydia courses that are around but good luck with it....

    as suggested above you need a decent price and decent commission - seems you have that now....

    but, really, how do you expect to recruit affiliates if you can't even sell the book yourself? Have you sold any even? How will anyone take you seriously if you can't show a conversion rate, a traffic source, a plan of how to promote, whats working for you... but more than anything - a solid conversion rate based on decent traffic numbers... why would anyone in their right mind jump behind your product without this? Affiliates aren't here to test your sales conversion rate for you...

    Sorry if that is blunt, but its the truth, drive some more traffic yourself, test your product conversion rate then come back here and announce it, announce it on other forums, with CONVERSION PROOF STATS and through that, and through natural traffic passively through your site too you will get some affiliates... and if they are successful then you will get more..
