Promote Your Business

So you’re interested in getting affiliates and you’d like to know how to recruit them. One of the best ways to attract them is by having your affiliate program listed on as many affiliate directories as possible. You don’t have to pay anything to have your program listed on these directories. However, you do have to meet certain guidelines.

Currently there are about 40 or so directories where you can post your affiliate program, in your attempt to locate those affiliates that’ll promote your opportunity. Also, be sure your program is posted under the correct category for your program.

A Word About The Directories

Keep in mind that many directories won’t list affiliate programs having anything to do with adult content or gambling, so it would be a waste of your time and effort to even attempt to list it.

Finally, most of these directories won’t list affiliate programs which are paying commissions on more than 2-levels. So now that you’re clear about this aspect of how to recruit affiliates we can move to the next.

Tips To Help You Get Listed

Before you submit your particular affiliate program to the directories, make certain you’ve first met any and all the requirements they’ve established for acceptance. You want this process to be as smooth and comfortable as possible, so be sure you’re prepared. After you’ve submitted your requests to be listed, your requests will then be reviewed by the editors of each directory you’ve applied to. Here are some factors to keep in mind as you begin this process.

Before you submit your request make sure that your program is ready. Ensure that the sign-up page is working and that the sales are being logged. Check your pages for any spelling or grammatical errors, and make sure that your logos and banners are visible.

The information page on your website should have a description about your product and/or service, the terms and conditions of your program, as well as and explanation of the commission structure. And finally, it should have a link to your home page. These are areas that simply can’t be overlooked in attempting to recruit affiliates.

Listing your affiliate program under the right category is of prime importance, if you’re going to be successful in recruiting them to promote your opportunity. Be sure you’ve chosen the most appropriate category for what you’re offering.

When you submit your request to have your particular affiliate program listed within the directories, you must have additional information in readiness such as: your destination URL, your program description, as well as your commission rates. Be prepared to submit this information for consideration.

Choose the right keywords for your program name.

Getting your program listed in the various affiliate directories, will indeed go a long way towards helping you to recruit more affiliates. However, getting your program listed under the most appropriate category for your particular program, will have you recruiting more affiliates than you can possible handle.
