* a decent affiliate already has the resources to make things happen, and doesn't need to use anyone else's; by definition, if someone hasn't managed to garner the resources to run their own shit, then they're not who you're looking for.
* you're offering 50/50 + $10 a sale... which isn't anything special and certainly not enough to encourage exclusivity or to attract affiliates away from the multitude of other offers out there.
* link building is by far the most important and difficult part of the affiliate game and anyone with half a brain develops their
own web properties, from which they can advertise anything without constraint.
