Ways To Find Affiliates

You will be left in the dust if you don’t find affiliates for your product. Don’t try to go it all alone. You need people who “have your back.” These are your affiliates. With so many businesses hunting all the time for them, you must use creative ways to find affiliates. The many offers dangling out there to entice affiliates forces you wonder how do these businesses make any money? But make it they do. Have you considered asking your Joint Venture Partner for help? Go ahead, slowly wade into the Joint Venture waters. You know you need to recruit affiliates, ask for help from your Joint Venture Partners. You came on board with your Joint Venture Partner because you felt he had something to offer your business. Now is the time to make approaches. Your Joint Venture Partner has affiliates of his own. Ask him to bring you together with some of his top affiliates. Have your plan ready to offer them a certain amount of money per affiliate. So what if you have to fork out more money than you had planned, don’t despair. Sometimes that’s the nature of the beast. Its the cost you have to pay for throwing your hat into the internet arena. Remember, these are his top affiliates. If your proposal hits the sweet spot, you will do well. Think longer term. If things work out for you this time, these top selling affiliates will jump at the opportunity to work with your next launch. While we are still on this segment, consider this! If you are able to get really good affiliates, why not offer them full commission on the sale of your product? You would have to be thinking long term as this is a long term strategy. If all should go well, they would be the first to sign up for any future deals you may offer. Indeed, it is true that many of these affiliates don’t own established businesses. Maybe they don’t want one. Their motivation could be different from yours, but you both need each other. These guys have to put food on their table just like you. If these affiliates work hard for your product, you need to focus on providing them with the tools for success. Give them a training course, the various ads, the banners and pre done ads. How about offering your affiliates an autoresponder series to help market your product. More importantly, have your affiliates purchased your product? Do they know all of the ins and outs of your product? If your product is expensive have you considered giving them an “abridged” version of your product? Put yourself in their shoes. Think from their perspective. On to the final item up for consideration. Some have toyed with the idea of hiring a Manager of Affiliate Recruitment. The primary responsibility for the position would be to focus on recruiting the best affiliates for your product launch. This one is a bit tricky but doable with some creativity. You could offer a tier based salary. What that does is it effectively ties the Recruit Managers salary directly into work performance. The more top selling affiliates the recruiter manages to get, the more profits that come rolling in for you. That will in turn beef up the recruiters salary also. It’s a win/win situation. Remember that affiliates work hard doing what they do. They are seeking a reasonable return for their efforts. Many top selling affiliates are out there and with the right bait they can be reeled in.
