Interested in seeing other strategies, my first product from clickbank got approved today and now I need to find a way to get some affiliates for it.
I've found a lot of success with writing reviews for networks, creating free blogs that advertise affiliate programs and placing paid advertising on key make money online forums and websites. Best of luck to you.
One of many way is to find sites that are already ranking in your niche product category. These are the affiliates that can make sales for you immediately. Of course it helps if you have some longevity in the industry and people know who you are. If you are some johnny come lately, then this method will take much more work.
