Hi Andre... Before you can get others on your team you have to be your own best affiliate. Do the things you want your affiliates to do, and by that I mean be EVERYWHERE.
Do you comment on every relevant blog that you can on a consistent basis, are you guest blogging on relevant blogs (not just submitting to article directories), are you making friends with people on the forums where potential JV partners hang out (besides here), are you utilizing social media to make meaningful contacts (not just accumulating followers)? Are you blogging on a regular basis?
I know it sounds counterintuitive since this is a JV blog, but sometimes it really does come down to how well known you are in the industry.
