If you’re a product seller, you already know that not all affiliates are created equal.
Some will never promote you. Others promote once and disappear. And a small percentage will promote your products over and over, making a lion’s share of sales for you.
So how do you recruit great affiliates?
While there is no one answer, there are many ways to find and recruit those key affiliates who will take your business to the next level.
1: “Wanna Promote?”
Contacting websites, blogs and other web publishers.
Send them a well-written email to ask them in a very polite way if they would like to become your affiliate.
You’ll likely have to contact a lot of people to get results, but it can be totally worth the effort.
2: Use a Service
Use a service such as Affiliate Leads https://affiliateleads.net/ to locate potential affiliates by category, keyword or advertiser.
3: Bloggers
Group High http://www.grouphigh.com/ is a site that will help you find the best bloggers and influencers, as well as manage your relationships.
4: Outsource
If you have the funds, you can hire a service such as Experience Advertising https://experienceadvertising.com/ to do your outreach and recruiting for you.
5: Use PPC Search Ads
Did you know that affiliates are actively looking for great programs to promote? You can find them by running PPC ads in Google Adwords and Bing Ads.
Don’t forget to track to see which ads are bringing in the most effective affiliates.
6: SEO’d Affiliate Pages
Create a page just for affiliates. Then optimize that page for SEO results, so when people are searching for affiliate programs in your niche, they can find you in the organic search results.
7: Press Releases
Write press releases for online distribution. Press releases can be another way to gain traction in the organic rankings.
8: Facebook Ads
Did you know you can find affiliates on Facebook? Target people who are interested in affiliate marketing and blogging in your niche.
9: Networks
Launch your product on an affiliate network.
There are many to choose from, including Clickbank, Commissions Junction, JVZoo, Linkshare and Sharesale. In some cases you might want to screen affiliates from these networks to be sure you’re only dealing with reputable people.
10: In Person
Trade shows, summits and conferences are great places to meet new affiliates. You might even consider getting a booth at some of these events, so affiliates are coming to you instead of you hunting them down.
11: Affiliate Forums
Build and maintain a presence on affiliate forums. These are great places to meet and recruit affiliates. Here’s a few to get you started:

13: LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a great place to meet affiliates and just network in general. You can post and participate in discussions and connect with people in a professional atmosphere.
14: Talk to Your Customers
This is a great way to get new affiliates who truly use and believe in your product. Reach out to your buyers and see who would like to be your affiliate, and take it from there.
