I'm trying to make the transition from super affiliate to affiliate manager, and I'm finding it to be a bit of a challenge. I've been an affiliate within the casino industry for over 5 years, and I know what affiliates want in the casino industry, but I'm finding it difficult to recruit new affiliates to sell my affiliate marketing e-book. I've tested the sales page, and the product converts extremely well through Google Adwords, but it's hard to find affiliates that are able and willing to begin promoting it. I developed an affiliate page with tools & resources, and I've even boosted the payout percentage to 75% where affiliates will earn $33 per sale. I believe that this product could easily compete with some of the top marketing products in the ClickBank marketplace, if given the chance. Any feedback from vendors or affiliates would be greatly appreciated. I can easily sell this product on my own, but the whole point of listing the e-book with ClickBank is to take advantage of their huge database of affiliates that would be willing to promote a quality product for a huge commission.

there is some new product on clickbank that submits your program to lots of aff directories automatically.. not sure how good it is as i havent used it but migth be worth looking at..
I seriously doubt the huge affiliate network. If that were true I'm sure there would be a lot more activity in this forum. Keep on selling and try to get your gravity up.
to get your gravity up you need to make sales using an affiliate link. so use an aff link instead of straight to your url
Hello Monk, Advertize and promote your affiliate program in the beginning and if your product is converting well, it will be picked up by affiliates. Then, you can have more sales.
out of interest, how did you do with the casino programs? Did u make good money? I hear it is hard to find advertisers, as google adwords won't advertise.
Thanks for all of the advice. I'll keep promoting the affiliate program, and see what happens. I've actually been selling the product through a separate merchant account that I had set-up before ClickBank. Now I realize that I should have begun selling the e-book as an affiliate to push up my gravity and draw in the attention of ClickBank affiliates that monitor the marketplace. I've been making a six figure income as an affiliate in the casino industry. Advertising within the PPC search engines is severely limited but their are still places to advertise and generate targeted traffic. It was alot easier to enter the industry when I did, compared to entering it right now.
