Whats The Secret To Getting Affiliate Marketers To Sell Our Products? (13)

---

I'm new to affiliate marketing and
I got hired at a company that sells cell phone accessories

These guys are making ALOT of sales with
google and Facebook ads going to their
website (like 20K+ orders per day) and a bunch of amazon sales too.

They want me to figure out some other avenues to sell there phone cases
so I started running ads on content.ad, taboola, and outbrain.

I burned through nearly 8 grand in spend over the course of a month
trying out different things only making back about half of that in sales.

what would be the best place to start to attract experienced affiliate marketers to sell our products/ help with this project?

any advice would be much appreciated!

You are new to affiliate marketing, and only spent 8k learning native, and managed to make back half of that? That's a feat in itself - my hat's off to ya!

Physical products and native are both outside of my area of expertise. However, I know that native traffic tends to be expensive so that big tickets products with high profit margins will often work better. What's your average order size?

Also, over half the battle with optimizing native camps, is having to throw money at finding target sites that don't convert well enough and stop buying traffic from them. Makes me wonder how close you are to profits and whether cutting more targets would get you there.

As for finding affiliates: Perhaps look into joining shareasale, linkshare, commission junction. I've seen lots of other ecommerce sites on these networks, offering commissions on product sales.

Best of luck with your new job!

Our average cart is $30 bucks.

Thx for the luck! I need it

I'll definitely join shareasale, linkshare, commission junction.

---

Ah! That would explain why it was working on native.

Here are a couple others to try: Affiliate Window and Tradedoubler.

The biggest thing is developing trusting long-term relationships, start small gain trust and work towards it being long-term no matter what!

2 thins I'd say:
- Give them commissions worth getting up in the morning. 50% of your profit isn't unusual.
- Give them a strong back-end with all the tools they need to track their stuff

Just an update.

We didn't go with Shareasale after all. What we ended up doing was getting on Rakuten(linkshare) and PepperJam.

We already have some affiliates crushing it, so thank for the help!

Wonderful to hear! Thanks for coming back to update this thread! Best of luck with expanding your business.

How are they working out?

How did you decide to work with them? How did they differentiate themselves?

---

How are they working out?
Pepperjam is going well which is surprising because they are a small network. It was an simple to setup and there dashboard is very easy to navigate. We have had a steady stream of affiliates joining every week and had sales from the program from the first day it went live.

Rakuten has not yet started our program because for whatever reason the pixel isn't working correctly yet:/ . (our account has everything ready to go we are just waiting for them to fix the issue)

How did you decide to work with them?
Well they really are the same thing just some have more affiliates than others. so we just decided to go on all four. pepperjam /shareasale/rakuten/commiss junction

the only reason we havent joined shareasale and CJ yet is due to time restraints.

Part 2

Thanks for all the help sending me in the right direction. It's much appreciated.

Since it worked out so well the last time I thought to myself "that was pretty easy I should do it again!"

One of the friends I grew up with has a Solar Company that does commercial/residential solar nationwide in the US. After looking around a bit It seems to me their are currently ZERO offers out there for commercial solar.
Also it seems as if the residential solar offers out there have payouts that are a joke. (best ones paying out $80 a lead... should be more like $80 a lead + a decent commission on the closing ones)

What do you guys think the best affiliate network to setup that kind of offer would be?

These are some networks that I know of that already have some solar offer already running. Aragon Advertising,ClickBank,Lead Trade,RevenueAds,eLocal,BizProfits

---

My buddy used to work for an affiliate network / leadgen company that specialized in just solar leads, id chat with him

Thanks John! I reached out to your buddy hopefully he sees and responds to my email.

In the meantime...
If anyone can give any advice on the best networks to start an affiliate program for solar in the US that would be great!
