Dave,

It's also worthwhile remembering that your best affiliates will very rarely ever find you - you've got to go find them.

Which in a nutshell means go looking for website owners that you feel you product would be a benefit to them and their customers - and ASK them to join your program!

KEY: Don't push the money, push the benefit for the customer / subscriber.

Make it easy for them to participate. Set it up for them. Provide custom content for them to offer etc.

Set yourself a daily / weekly target, not based on results but based on productivity. ie. a results based target says "I will get 20 new affiliates each week." Yes... nice idea.... but, THEY have the final decision in that, not you. A productivity based target is "I'll approach 10 new possible affiliates each day." That goal is entirely up to you and your efforts.

And the people that say "yes" to the personal approach.... THEY are the ones you want in your program, becasue they will work *with* you, not just for themselves.
