To the Clickbank affiliates here: How would I go about recruiting affiliates to sell my product? Email? Random forum post? Extra cash incentives? What factors would you consider in promoting my product? Gravity? Landing page? Copywrite? What would you affiliates look for?

That's right give your Aff tons of affiliate tools the key is to make the work easier for them while giving also a good payout
I would say that random forum post is pretty much the worst way. I would do the exact opposite, which is to become a trusted member on a forum, build up several hundred posts, and then hit the affiliates with the offer. Norb is probably the best example of this. Because he has a good reputation, and because he has contributed a lot to the forum, most affiliates will sit up and take notice when he has something to say.
method doesnt always matter, more important on the incentive you offer like money or free stuff, if you have a goo product or service, people will want it anyway and spread the word for you
