This is one of the biggest question marks as to how and methodology. Recruiting affiliates is really easy if you know how. You have to do a lot of pro-active reaching out, contacting websites, and contacting known affiliates, doing it very tastefully and offering them some benefit of working with your company, otherwise you just become one of the thousands of companies vying for their time, which is why it’s important to differentiate yourself by standing out from your competitors with perks for affiliate marketers. Another way to recruit affiliates is to advertise in Search. You can advertise in Google and Yahoo under “affiliate program” keywords. You can also advertise on forums and in places where affiliates frequent in order to recruit affiliates to either your affiliate signup page or directly to one of your affiliate network signup pages. Exposing your customers to your affiliate program can also be an effective strategy. You can also advertise on Facebook for people into affiliate programs, and get them to your affiliate program sign-up page. Using an affiliate agency can cut down the recruiting curve significantly, by tapping into their database of affiliate marketers.
