What’s the Secret of Recruiting Super Affiliates?

Some vendors think that if you just create a really good product, then you’ll have all sorts of super affiliates lining up around the block to promote it.

But here’s the thing…

The super affiliates aren’t running around the web looking for things to promote. That’s because vendors usually approach them with their offers. And if you want to get super affiliates on your team, then you need to do the same thing.

How do you do that? By following these tips…

Develop Relationships First

Sure, you can send out cold affiliate recruitment emails… but you’re going to get a pretty lukewarm response.

You’ll do much better if you develop relationships with prospective partners first. At the very least, these folks ought to recognize your name when your email lands in their inbox.

Here are a few ways to do that:

  • Promote your prospective partner’s product first. If you put money in their pocket, you can bet they’ll recognize your name.
  • Help the person in some other way. For example, if the person requests assistance or feedback – such as help installing a WordPress plugin – you can offer your services for free.
  • Engage the person on social media. This includes joining their discussions, sharing their content, and talking to them through private message.
  • Join the discussions on the marketer’s blog. Be sure your contributions are thoughtful.
  • Meet and engage them offline at workshops and expos. But don’t approach them about a joint venture, because that is what everyone is doing. Instead, connect with them over a mutual interest, such as a hobby. This will make you much memorable once the event is over.

Send Out An Invitation

Once you’ve developed relationships with your prospective partners, then sit down and brainstorm all the perks you can offer them to join your affiliate program. Then write an email invitation that showcases these top perks.

Here’s an invitation example:
