How to Find the Best Affiliates
for Your Clients
Here are a few methods for finding affiliates to promote your clients'
offers. You want to highlight what makes your offer unique and
attractive to affiliates.
DEVELOP YOUR PITCH
You will need to be able to clearly articulate why you have converting
offers ready for them. This is all about convincing affiliates to partner
with you. Oftentimes offer owners will create pages to refer interested
affiliates to in order to give them this pitch and what they need to be
successful. This is something you, as an affiliate manager, can do too.

ClickBank, covers the top 3 ways to attract affiliates to help promote
your products in this video. Elite affiliate managers are able to create
great tools. Their pitches and succinct and targeted.
NETWORK
This is likely one of your favorite parts of your job so we're sure you
already know how important it is. To find affiliates you have to network.
Go to events like Traffic and Conversion. Cut deals on the fly. Network
face to face. This legwork will pay huge dividends. Networking is one
of the most important components of an elite affiliate manager. The
network with intention. You go in with a plan and you understand that
this is a relationship.
COLD OUTREACH
Engage online. Join and interact on Facebook groups and other online
communities. Use your pitch. Put your sales pants on and hammer the
pavement. You might get some chilly responses-but hey, they don't
call it cold outreach for nothin'!
