Since every site that’s targeted toward affiliates (affiliate directories, forums, blogs, resource sites, etc.) sells advertising space, why not change the message on one of your current graphic ads so it’ll attract affiliates to your affiliate program?
One big banner ad across the top of one affiliate forum will get seen by thousands of affiliates in a day and that could mean a tidal wave of sales for you. And it would pay for itself fast.
You could place short vertical banners on the sides of resource sites and affiliate program directories, full banner ads on forums and in newsletters/ezines…
What sizes would be best?
- 468×60,
- 120×240,
- 120×90, and
- 125×125
When you go to the sites, their “Advertiser” info will tell you what sizes they accept.
What should your message say? Well, what’s in it for affiliates? Money, easy commissions,… You get the idea.
To find places to place your ads, or to get ideas for the right message to put on them, use Google, or your favorite search engine, to search for:
-
affiliate + directory
-
affiliate + forum OR discussion
-
affiliate + newsletter OR ezine
…and look at the websites at the top of the list. Focus on getting your ad on those sites first, and work your way down the list later to get even more affiliates and more sales.
Does your affiliate program have 2-tiers? That’s even better! Create ads that affiliates can use to send you new affiliates! Place these on the sites you find above as well as on your affiliate page.
