There are several ways to recruit new affiliates. Here I will identify only some, like word of mouth and online advertising.
Word of mouth:
You can use the word of mouth method with people you know, who are interested in online home based business. It could be your relatives, close friends, co-workers and others who have regular contact with you, who are looking for opportunities like SFI.
Online Advertising:
In online advertising, you can use the social media like Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest or by blogging. In advertising your own website, you can use Google or Yahoo to name a few. The affiliate's website will have a link or ad that can be clicked through to the website offering the items or services in this case you can choose one of your SFI gateways.
Find websites which have traffic of their own and allow you to advertise through banner and link that will drive traffic to your website. Keep in mind to consider the recruiting process used to find the affiliates. Recruiting affiliates is not a simple matter of chance and it is not something that should be done in the simplest possible method to attract the maximum number of responses.
To find quality affiliates, you can use the methods already available in SFI. People who signed up are really interested.
Other methods:
Email can be an effective method of recruiting affiliates. But, this can be both positive and negative both for the website and for the site's owner. If the email is sent out in a random fashion, it may not be compliant with the recent CAN-SPAM laws, making the site's owner vulnerable to lawsuits and legal action. The site owner is legally responsible for their affiliate network's recruiting strategies and can be prosecuted by the FTC for any violations that their affiliates commit. There are many other ways of recruiting affiliates than sending mass emails or allowing the affiliate network to do so.
Email must be used deliberately to target specific people with a legitimate offer to join the affiliate network. Contacting webmasters of websites that have a similar content to your site is the first step to finding affiliates. The emails should contain all of the information that an affiliate needs to make the decision to visit the site and join the network. Sketchy details in an email will read like spam and not the legitimate opportunity with your network that it really is. When sending recruiting email, think about questions you would ask if you were learning about your network, and answer all of those questions. Include contact information to further separate yourself from the spammers.
Targeted telephone calls can also be an effective affiliate recruiting method. Calling directly those who may be interested in an affiliate relationship is likely to be just as effective as or even more so than mass emails, as they are not filtered out as spam and it is possible to speak directly to the potential affiliate. A strong business relationship can be made from speaking directly over the phone in a way that is more difficult to establish through email alone. A business relationship that begins with phone contact is more akin to a business relationship in the real world, rather than something only conducted through email. People do respond to a personal touch.
Affiliate recruitment is something that should be done legitimately, through legal means. This means avoiding spam, unlawful telemarketing, filling up irrelevant message boards with your information, etc. There are many legitimate ways to recruit affiliates that will not be seen as harassment or as an annoyance and will garner a better reputation for your site. A site with a good reputation is more likely to attract quality affiliates.
