    Hello Guys,

    I'm close to rolling out a new B2B platform with subscription based information. It will be a directory. It's not live yet. I'm planning to launch an affiliate program from scratch to this platform as well.

    I need your advice on how and where I should promote the affiliate program to engage affiliates:
    - forums?
    - directories?
    - social networks?
    - press-releases?
    - ....?

    Could you suggest me as many sources as you can for promoting such affiliate program? If you write source, for example, forums, please specify all links.

    Second question is how to make an explosion with new affiliate program that everyone will want to sign in to the program?

    I would be grateful for the help!

    You can try getting your program listed on Clickbank, Commission Junction, etc
    You'll want to advertise/market where Affiliate Marketers hangout. FB groups/forums/blogs that are geared toward affiliate marketing.

    Make an explosion? Plan ahead then launch with everything possible. Social Media blasts/Press Releases/FB Ads/Adwords/Yahoo Ads/Sticky threads on forums/guest posts, etc of course with all this targeting affiliate marketers. It also helps having a great product/service plus high commission percentage for the marketers to get excited about promoting it.

    Backlinking on articles and sites related to the affiliate product your selling would be a good one.
