    Hi I am the owner operator of Cupidsorchard, and i want as many affiliates as i can get. But i am at a loss as to what will entice affiliates to sign up.
    Affiliates respond, I would appreciate the advice.
    :p

    I have had zero results with affiliate stuff. The tracking methods I have experienced must be useless.

    I'm of the thought that the space needs to be sold, not given on contingency.

    what would I be looking for as an affiliate? I would be looking for offers that convert a lot. And, I would want to make at least $10 a sale.

    Whatever you do dont screw affiliates over. Most affiliates test the tracking of sales and if it fails to register on their account then they will spread the word that its a con.
    Apart from this what could you afford to pay affiliates per sale?

    Yeah my partner started out as an affiliate and he says the only way to grow is through affiliates. I agree, but as our offer stands it is pretty good, any more would just be putting ourselves out for a loss in. What do you think of contest or something else with a cash reward based on exceptional performance?

    Monthly contests are good but need to be ordered so the "one super affiliate" is not winning all the time. I have seen some affiliate programs giving rewards for the greatest increase in sales from previous month. This gives the smaller less established sites a chane of winning aswell.
