Hi Jen,

Have you created your own blog or website yet? That might be a good first step.

Also, try finding different groups, sites, social networks, forums, etc. where people might share an interest in your product or service.

Get the word out any way you can. Just be sure not to spam and follow the rules of other sites, etc.

Hi Jen,

I know you are working on your site. Did you decide to go with Clickbank??

A few things that affiliates look at:
Appealing site
Converting site
Commission
Gravity

It is also good to have a specific page for affiliates with banners and other helpful data...
I would suggest that you track everything so if people ask you have the numbers to back it up.

I know this can be hard in the beginning... but over time it will get easier. I would make sure that my own traffic converts before I go after affiliates...
