Find Affiliates
Hey guys. I’m new to all this and i need some guidance.
let’s say that i got a digital product that i want to sell.
I got no email list. No instagram account. No facebook. Nothing. No social media whatsoever. How could i promote this product or how could i find affiliates to promote my product?
i know that one can use FB ads or Google ads. But, is that all? Isn’t there like some secret affiliate networks or secret ways to promote one’s product?
i have a very good idea for a product but i’m afraid that people won’t find it.
Thank you very much.

So are you looking for affiliates or customers?
For customers you could post about it in forums related to the product/niche.
For affiliates you could post in affiliate forums about it *hint STM hint* or you could use platforms like
JVZoo.

My ultimate goal is to reach the customer. But i can't do it on my own (well, I could, but it will take a lot of time to learn FB and Google ads, and many accounts banned).
That's why i'm looking for people who already know the game, and can promote my product using different advertising platforms.
I'm currently studying the Newbie section here on STM, but I'm 100% sure that i'll lose money and ban a lot of accounts before i can run a clean and lucrative Ad Campaign.

Regardless of whether your final goal is to sell the product yourself or have affiliates handle this part, you should still start by running traffic yourself. The reason is that you need to make sure the flow is well optimized and your offer converts and that can only be achieved by testing the sales funnel with real traffic.
Will you lose accounts during the process? Quite likely. But there are sources that are less strict and don't ban that easily... for example native networks such as taboola/outbrain, revcontent, MGID... native traffic can convert well with a wide range of products. You can also try to run some push traffic, in case your product is a broad appeal one.
Once you are sure the flow is optimized and you have a solid idea about how much a lead/sale/conversions/registration (or whatever your conversion point is) is worth... only then start working with affiliates. You can partner with some affiliate networks and have your product listed in their offers list. But let me repeat, you need to know how much you can afford to pay for a conversion first.. the networks will likely ask for a prepayment for given amount of leads, so you need to have your shit in order

Or just drop all the offer info here, including link etc. So we can have a look how to approach this maybe or some other tips might pop up! For now it's a bit hard guessing what's best.

I'll take your advice, thanks. I'll start with FB ads and optimize from there.

Yup, this phase is very important.
When you start to recruit affiliates, they will only give you one change, so to speak. If the offer doesn't perform well, they will stop the traffic and move on. Of course, your offer will not work with all traffic types and for all affiliates, but the last thing you want to happen is losing potentially good affiliates due to an under optimized sales flow.

I must say if we get a look we could safe a lot of time for him, letting him explore all the ins and outs takes a shitload of time. He is newbie I read, thats a long road to go to find out a suiting funnel, and thats only one traffic source, FB in this case.
I don’t know if you would like to expose stuff or it’s some secret sauce ofcourse. Good luck with the journey, you will need it! And ofcourse you can do both, expose and test yourself on whatever traffic source. I am curious too sorry can’t help it!

For sure, it would be much easier to give advice if we actually knew what the product is
