I own http://twistedtime.com and I’m considering setting up an affiliate program whereby people who refer converting traffic to my site get a commission.
I have found the software I plan to use but before I purchase I was wondering if anyone knows of ways to find the affiliates to work with?
I don’t want to go to the expense of setting it up only to realise that I can’t find affiliates.
You can advertise in Nifty Stats for example. I’m using their free software to track stats at affiliate programs and they always show some great affiliate programs in the header.
I just checked out clickbank and they focus only on digital products from what they tell you on the site.
There is a great deal of work involved in finding and managing your own affiliates. I would not buy the software if I were you and join an affiliate network as an advertiser.
There is a list of these in this forum. Some are very expensive and difficult to join. You have to generate over 1 million in yearly sales to join some but others are affordable such as shareasale.
When you join you will have access to thousands of affiliates and you will be able to track sales using the tracking code they give you.
There are many networks out there so get in touch with as many as you can.
