Getting affiliates is hard - any tips?
 

I released my program yesterday, i am holding the xbox contest (see sig), i posted about the site release/contest on about 10 other boards. Tomorrow i'll be submitting to all resource sites I can find. oh.. i also have lil2rich4u's sig

anything else i need to do? any tips from program owners? thanks:thumbsup

Buy my sig ;-)

whats your program url? (I got signs disabled)

buy some banner spot, also I don't know if you have hosted gals, that is also a good way to get webmaster to join

offer a great fucking program. dont fucking shave. provide everything anyone would need. :thumbsup

Depending on your budget, buy a banner spot here (or on another board). If you buy the spot here, you'll get a sticky post for a while.

Shoot a quick email to our sales department and we can get you some information sent out on how to showcase your affiliate program on a range of resource sites in a cost effective manner :thumbsup

offrer some quality hosted galleries.
that will make a couple of webmasters signup..

offer a great fucking program. and than wait for the magic...!!

To expand on this, you could build a few hundred of them and hook up with Remote Thumbs and you'll likely get a few more new affilates from their program.

Just a little hint, get the main points into a few lines and if the surfer wants to know more he can read the seperate stuff, the surfer doesn't want to read the bible :winkwink:

The average surfers attention span is very low and he doesn't want to read much.Without some punch lines you'll have a hard time with getting some attention.

Getting affiliates isn't all that hard. Getting affiliates who really send you traffic seems to be :)

Dood he owns a penis enlargement site not a porn site :1orglaugh

Buy some cheap sigs on the next sig market day

I didnt know what he site he have.

But still I dont see whats wrong with a couple of hosted galleries...

and good per signup, payouts...

so what are the rates to place a button or banner here just wondering if this poor guy can afford one :)

Amen:1orglaugh

I treat those who do like gold!

And brand0n is right on...
Best of luck!

Posting, buying sigs, buying banner spots and if your product converts really good then the webmasters will come in on there own. :thumbsup

Buy a banner spot on GFY and some major resource sites :thumbsup

www.WebmasterVault.com has some good advertising deals

Buy some spots, sponsors some little boards, it all depends on your budget and how fast do you want to blow up, Buying banner spots on mgp and tgp boards is your best option.

Remove the TCG in your sig and have your own program.

Start submitting a movie gallery and picture gallery a day or have someone someone do it for you. Remember webmasters surf.

Buy advertising on webmaster submit pages. Entice new affiliates with free hosting?

Find the top ten most active boards and make at least 5 posts a day.

You have someone else's banner in your sig. If you don't promote your own program why would other people?

buy my sig :)
you will be all setup..






















well... get some sales rep. working for ya. :) hehe

Two words - PUSSY and TITTS.

Get a hot GFY babe in charge of recruiting.

There is nothing more powerful.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

give me a free xbox and I will run your sig for a month :)

Thanks for all the tips guys :thumbsup

im suprised i got by with asking a newb question and not getting flamed:1orglaugh

The boards are shit for getting REAL webmasters.

Use ICQ and contact people directly. Have a phone conversation. Get personal with the affiliaites.
Relying on boards to get by = a broke program owner.

I was thinking of giving free escorts at internext to affiliates that do a good job! But the escort service had a 3 girl minimum and I haven't got that many good affiliates. But on a serious note, getting good affiliates is hard... I think being at all the shows will help...

Good luck,
Denny

if a sponsor called me, i would ban them forever, i don't like the phone and hate it when I get unsolicted calls

same with icq, but not so drastic, I just get pissed...unless your slickcash sarah, then I ban your program

What's your point?

You can make galleries designed to sell penis pills.
The people that do this well make some good money.

Dont advertise another sponser in your sig, along with your own site,

Great job

yeah, I know what you mean, I have been getting calls from sponsors and content providers, I dont like that...
But ICQ and emails are ok.

I hate it when sponsors I don't already use personally contact me out of the blue (phone/icq) to get me to promote them.

Also offering high payout on a trial will do the trick.

Webmasters generally don't want a 50/50 parternship becuase it makes them a lot less money than a high PPS.

Dont look for affiliates at lame board like this. Dont let your sig links get crawled by google. lame.

Building relationships.

Sorry guys maybe I should have explained it in a 1-2-3 step way so you could understand.

1. Cold contact someone by email or ICQ
2. Call them and talk to them about the program (hard to call if you dont have their number from the previous contact methods)
3. everyone is happy.

I HATE getting called by sales reps. Nothing aggrivates me more. UNLESS I expect the call because it was planned.

Shut up retard. If this board is so lame, then why are you posting on it. LAME! I've got almost all of my affiliates from GFY. Getting your program noticed by adult webmasters is something that needs to happen if they are ever going to become aware of it and think of promoting it. If you have a shit program, good luck where ever you go. And if you are looking to get retail sales, then go somewhere else. Although there are obviously plenty of surfers and dumbfucks like yourself posting here, there are also some real life webmasters that do frequent this place to conduct business and look for good ways to make money.
What board or place would you say can get your program more exposure, genius?! :321GFY

1 - Meet people for real (shows, parties, etc...). They are much more likely to join if they've met you and know you're not hiding, are cool, etc...

2 - If you can get a respected GFYer to join and he likes it, that will be a big plus for getting word out to other GFYers

3 - Advertise as much as your budget allows

4 - Give it time. As people begin to recognize you, they're more likely to check you out than if no one ever heard of you

* If all else fails, use KRL's suggestion :Graucho

Start a thread on GFY asking how to get affiliates to your new program. Mention the program. Perhaps even post a link or direct readers to your signature.

i dont think xbox contests work.

no one cares about anything other than money =)

offer double payouts or something.

Offer real tools or services that webmasters may want. Like Traffic tune up or optimization services. Live chat coaching re page effectiveness/traffic filtering. Offer tutorials. Offer tools they can use that are specific to your program.
