Need Affiliate help

by Lean and Mean

What is the best/easiest way to get affiliates promoting my site. We have just launched a new site with nutritional information and online workout programs and we are looking to get affiliates to promote it. I cannot do any JV as I have no list to offer. I don't have the budget for major CPA networks at the moment. Does anyone have any advise, or is anyone interested in joining as an affiliate?

    Maybe you can use Clickbank, but you will need to promote it by yourself in the beginning so that your product will get exposure and other affiliates will start promoting it, too.

    You can also contact site, forum, blog and Facebook group owners. If your product is good chances are that some of them will give it a try.

    I have seen nutritional related products do very well on Linkshare, Commission Junction or ShareASale. Each of these networks have 1000's of affiliates who'll pick up your product and promote. Just make sure your site is affiliate friendly and you don't have too many restrictions for them.

      For electronic information products, Clickbank is a good way to start.
      For other kind of products, Commission Junction can be a good option.
      However, you will also need to promote your site yourself, at least at the beginning.

      Probably you have already done it, but just in case you don't. Built plenty of affiliates promotional material in order to better attract affiliates.

    Ask yourself why someone would promote your brand new offer when there are currently high converting offers out there on the networks and Clickbank?

    You want to have a lot in place before expecting affiliates to promote for you effectively. Ideally you will have conversion rates in place for various types of traffic tests and have split tested your lander with a great deal of traffic to maximize conversions/upsells/recurring sales if any.

    You will also want to have articles/emails in place that affiliates can use.

    I'm not trying to sound like a downer, but the very best way to get affiliates is to have a high converting offer. The offer is everything when it comes to making money online in general. Once you have a strong converting offer, list building, traffic generation, JV and affiliate recruitment, all of it becomes easy. To get to a strong converting offer takes a lot of testing.

    Many before you have done this so I'm sure you can too.

    Also, CPA networks don't necessarily require huge amounts to get going with. Again, if you have a strong offer, paying the affiliate networks isn't as stressful then.
