How to promote affiliate program?

Could you please advise me any effective online advertizing methods to promote my affiliate program in web for free. I have tried posting at topic-related forums, but have almost no registered affiliates. It is the first time when I doing affiliate program promotion. So that I would like to ask more experienced people? How to stimulate webmasters to become our parners? What will be your ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

affiliateseeking.com is a large directory of affliate programs. you can submit yours over there.

 

You can sign up to click2sell.eu or paydotcom.com to list your products.

 

adwords of course

or, buy link on affliate forum

 

you can take your product and go to clickbank

if you do that it would be a 50 dollar fee one time

or you can go sign up with a cpa network

 

You could use a network until you can go it solo.

 

Yeah, building up a load of affiliates for your site is never easy if you dont have a truck load of members already on the site who know the value of your product and service.

If you dont want to go down the third party route (CJ, ShareASale, tradedoubler, etc) then forum posting and forum Ads is likely still your best bet.

Your hard work will eventually be rewarded.

 

Thanks guys, these are some good tips.

 

You should offer more % for a limited time in order to attract affiliates.
After that if your product/s convert well enough, it would be easy to get famous and build a large affiliates base.

 

I have tried, but they require link back. However, we are not planning to do link exchange now.

 

Also, I am not looking for CJ, adwards, ShareASale, tradedoubler etc. I would prefer to promote my own affiliate program. I am searching for FREE sites like affiliateseeking.com but which don't require links back. Do you know any other sites, where people come when searching for affiliate programs?

 

I find that the best way is to offer a generous cut on the sales that they make, and make sure you have a good product that converts well. If you have an affiliate programme that will make them money, then people will cotton on and sign. People dont want to sign up to make you money. Ask yourself honestly if you would sign up to your own affiliate programme. Would you feel that there was opportunity to make a pile of cash? You need to tell people why they will make more money signing up with you than with another one of the millions of programmes out there. Do you have a well known brand name for example, or a unique product that everyone will want.

 

Thanks, JonRhodesUK for your opinion. I would like to say that currently we have a lot of customers and our sales volume is constantly increased. That's why we came to the point to launch an affiliate program and promote it in web properly. If to be honest, I have already signed up my affiliate program myself and feel very happy. I know exactly that there are many people who don't mind being our partners. The most difficult task is to find them! That's why I am here - to ask people the best places/sites to promote our affiliate programs. Thanks.
