Direct Affiliate Marketing

To find quality affiliates you best be t is to network. there are a number of business and even seo related forums like digital point which will have members familiar with affiliate programs and dealing with and finding affiliates.

 

For existing resellers and referrers you can always set up a code for them that provides perhaps a discount or an entry to win something and will serve the same function as an affiliate code but without the need for a website.

you might consider hiring an OPM (outsourced program manager) to recruit affiliates for you, it's what they do.

 

if you're using a contribution in OSC, chances are that you're what affiliates call an "indie" (independent affiliate program), meaning they sign up with you, you track sales and you pay them. their are affiliate networks out there where affiliate gather to find merchants and those networks track and pay the affiliates. you still have to recruit, but as an indie, you're asking professional marketers to trust you - and there's over 20,000 like you, small, doing it themselves, and affiliates have been burned by merchants who mess up tracking or go broke or do unethical things. if you think affiliate marketing is going to be a big, important channel for you, consider ditching the indie route and join a network. there are many ways that savvy, unethical affiliates can cheat you - so if you remain an indie, you've got lots to learn and have an uphill battle recruiting as well. if you go network route, try ShareASale or AvantLink, they are so far beyond the many others in terms of ethics, it's not even close.

 

good luck to you!
