Hey everyone, Since everyone in this forum seems to be very knowledgeable i was interested in seeing what each of you thinks would be the best way to recruit affiliates to a new money saving website that has an affiliate program? What attracted you to the sites you are affiliates for? Thanks for you input, I am excited to hear what everyone has to say!
It is good to have 2-Tier affiliate program (referral program) than people spread word around and in the final it gets to people who are looking for your program. I like to join programs when I know avarage conversion rate and if it is something that I would use myself.
thank you for your response. We do have a 2nd tier in place with 10% commissions - (1st tier is 50%) - since we have just launched how do i get my first affiliates to start signing up without having to spend much money? Sarie
You could start by not adding your sites details in every post or it may get you band from this forums. Just thought I would let you know. I am not a mod, but don't want you to get banned or anything. You can add your site to your posts once you get your signature file activated. Good luck anyway.
Invest? Buy ads in the most targeted areas you can think of - such as google adwords and targeting the digitalpoint community
Join lists of affiliate programs, there are lots of directories out there of affiliate programs. Also get SERPS, perhaps as above... PPC
You could join an affiliate network. For small businesses Shareasale is a great place to recruit affiliates.
