What is the best way to get affilaites to sign up??
 

Ok,

We are going to be launching a bunch of sites in about a month or so, with an affiliate program. Now, i have been checking out all The other sponsors sites and stuff and have a question for Sponsors and for Affiliates...

1. Sponsors, What works best for getting affiliates to sign up??

2. Affiliates, what do you look for when making the decision to sign up for a program?

We are going to be offering tons of bonuses, prize incentives and stuff like that.... of course. But, what else??

have good content and payouts and be trust worthy

Free blowjobs

Bingo :2 cents:

EZ to read stats page. Webmaster and surfer sign up from the same links

Thats all their is to it. If you have crappy content, you'll have to spam every other thread and get maybe 1 new affiliate a day... but if your stuff sells the affiliates will definatley be there.

I no longer would sign up with someone new without a track record and a reputation on honesty.

Been in this biz too long and had to drop too many sponsors to just sign up and send traffic.

PS Don't shave

cempetitive paysites, ones which look like they sell good, and actually sell as well :)

pay on time EVERY TIME, dont EVER let your sites go down, and dont piss people off

which makes me most money with same traffic.

Great content and easy to navigate affiliate area, and of course good payouts.

Great Content, a members tour that that is honest , paying everytime all the time, do what you say you will and give affiliates 100% support

if you have something unique webmasters will come
otherwise you need to rely on people you know to start with
or have some of those tricky contests to get a few affiliates to signup (although a small percentage will send any traffic)

Getting affiliates to signup is the easy part...where you have to really do your job is making sure you're providing them support and tools so they actually send you traffic once they signup.

also u can tell them that you will kick their ass hard if they dont promote you hard :)

2) content - reputation - support - site designs - payouts - payment methods - processor you use + a few more things

have some quality websites

Offer hosted Freesites:)

You need to figure out how to get the 10% of the affiliates that will really matter?

i'll second that.

the majority of programs (your competitors) have appealing content, high payouts etc. but being available for your affiliates (support) is pretty important IMO

Your right .. I noticed that for the first year we had a lot of smaller Affiliates. The big boys waited for us to build a Rep and to make sure we always paid on time.

There is no rush way to get affiliates .. you have to put out a good product and build respect from the webmasters

convert!

Offer a quality site with good promo material, or spend a bunch of money on GFY to skin it then just build a real nice looking tour and don't worry so much about the content.

Come On In
 

Susheboy come on in. We have been shooting content for the past 8 yrs...located in W Palm.

I'll 3rd that AK.....well said SykkBoy. We get tons of new apps everyday, now getting traffic (qulaity traffic) is the real challenge and takes attn. to detail on the part of the affilite program.

Give the Affiliates something different.

That's what we did.

If you're not promoting phone sex yet, you're losing looooooots of money.
