Alternate ways to offer an Affiliate program

[Bigsister]

Hi,

I am trying to push a paysite with decent traffic and conversion rate, what interests me is how to generally advertise our own affiliate program.

I tried:

1} Mail offers, but I actually recieved one answer from 340 mails sent. I supppose most of my mails had to be regarded as a SPAM mail (which is quite unfair because I had some serious work and expectations with it :)), I also posted this to each webmaster separately.

2} Other way I try is to participate on the Adult webmaster forums, I found some fellow mates, but it's a long way till I get recognized there and not accused of spamming, which I try to avoid nowadays.

3} The registration of domains and setting up the free movie sites which I want to engage to the Free MGP sites, that's in progress now, but this is more focused on new users and traffic.

4) a paid advertisement - didn't tried yet, as I am not sure with the efficiency and very careful on releasing funds (approx price about 1 400 USD / month).

Is there any system, which would be able to connect me with a list of reliable webmasters for a decent sales commission?

Best Regards,

Carlos

i think those ways are really common.

I thought even about some kind of "affiliate program exchange" with other sites. The goal would be the list of really interested webmasters, also TGP's I tried to mail the TGP's and MGP's but without an answer.

Marketing takes time and networking. It's not an overnight, or once and done type of deal.

Write a press release about the site.

Buy ad spots on boards, newsletters, resource sites, TGP/MGP/Link Lists ...

Be a guest on a webmaster radio show.

Network with other site owners and affiliate managers.

Link trade with other sites.

Get listed in resource sites.

Talk to boards about sponsoring a contest.

Have a booth at webmaster shows. Attend shows and network.

Send out promotional products to event planners.

Thanks,

This is an exhausting answer, I can assure you I will share only good remarks on X nations.

Best Regards,

I reordered Pankys list into more of a start to finish list. Basically you should be able to start at the top and go down the list as your site grows.

I never thought about the radio, that ain't a bad idea. I already got an invitation for a webmaster show in Amsterdam, that would interest me for sure, but I want to make sure there are all the "basics" made first.

Well, we own about every domain that has a bit similar meaning but NOT the dot com. I suppose it's a kind of some country band or something like that we will have to deal with them.
