I was just wondering where is the best place to search for publishers? I have ads on different forums and have had people reach out that are either looking to cut around our ad network, have not been interested in our CPA offers, or could not run the correct tracking method. We work with all payout periods and our offers are among the market standard. Just an ad network looking to expand and hoping to find some more reliable publishers. Looking for any advice or help on this topic.
This forum is full of publishers/affiliates, you just need to figure out how to approach them. The standard post in the welcome/announcement section won't cut it. There is a reason why 
Then there are conferences organized by the same people who are behind STM, are you going to AWA for example? https://affiliateworldconferences.com/asia/tickets/
There are also STM Meetups : https://meetups.stmforum.com/ schedule for next year is not listed yet, but that will be updated once the time comes.
Reach out to industry people who have some following, get a post on related blogs, buy ads on related media where your target audience hangs out .. FB groups ... there is a ton you can do. It just takes time, solid plan and dedication
