I have joined Shareasale as merchant for 6 months and have 500 affiliates. My affiliates seems to be small tiny sites with less or no visitor so what i get is just a very limited traffic from those affiliates (not sale actually). I have to pay Shareasale for the limited fee each month. I'm thinking that the number of affiliates is not important as the quality of them so i have built a program myself. Having 1 quality affiliate is better than 1000 none active affiliates. Any of you of considering of joining an Affiliate network should re-consider
I agree. Let me give you a small advise. "spy" after the affiliate marketers in your niche. Publish the product in the network that most of them are working. Than send them an email about your product.
