Sound crazy? You’re right. It does…. but you’re only seeing a fraction of a much bigger picture that I guarantee will not only help you recruit 100’s of new affiliates, but increase revenues to your existing products and give you a super-boost of targeted traffic.
If you run your own affiliate program and you’re trying to recruit more people, you likely did all the basics – adding a link on your site, submitting the affiliate program to directories, etc. Since nearly everyone has their own affiliate program these days, affiliate networks and directories are getting a little crowded. If you’re just starting out, you’ll likely start out at the bottom of the pile and it is especially difficult if you sell only one or two products.
As the whole concept of affiliate marketing exploded with the onset of ppc advertising and the ease of setting up affiliate programs, so did the demand from internet marketers for only the best affiliate opportunities. Just like you have to compete for the best web traffic, you have to now compete to get the best affiliates selling for you.
So how you do get more affiliates to promote...
