Recruiting serious affiliates can be done by creating informed prospects instead of advertising for bulk sign-ups.
You need to develop a business plan that the prospect can put into action in order to see profits in 1-3 years. You need to be honest about the challenges faced and emphasize the training provided so the prospect doesn't join with misconceived notions about the business.
Tell them that SFI is a free to join affiliate marketing program but despite being free to join they will need to purchase things like a good domain name and hosting to start a blog of their own, and will need to plan a budget for advertising if they wish to accelerate the growth of their business, and even though SFI has one of the best training facilities of any Affiliate Program they might choose to supplement the training with more in depth study of niche marketing and retail affiliate program promotions.
Let them know that similar to owning a franchise business there are multiple Advertising Co-Operative programs that will allow them to turn a small budget into a serious advertising campaign, at a fraction of what co-op ads would cost in a franchise.
Let them know that SFI has multiple streams of income and that they can increase their success by recruiting other affiliates to SFI in addition to promoting the products and auctions of TripleClicks.
Give them an overview of how the auctions work and offer them a TripleClicks Gift Card to try out the services before they make a decision to join us as an affiliate. Sometimes gaining that experience with the PriceBenders Auctions and Eager Zebra Games will be your best recruiting tool, like having a franchise tour set up during the application process to buy a franchise business.
Having some first hand knowledge of what to expect will relieve a lot of fears and build a strong foundation for business.
