Hi,

I've just signed up with a Network and am finalising the finer details. What "start up" promotions do you think are the best to ensure we get a good mixture of affiliates on board and dont exclude the smaller ones?

Thanks

If you mean an affiliate incentive then something that doesn't just rely on the overall biggest number of sales. You can offer one sale = one entry, putting a link on a homepage= one entry etc....

Having said that - the most important factor to getting lots of good, active affiliates promoting you is to be a market leader in converting visitors in to sales. If you aren't among the best in your market you aren't going to get the best affiliate traffic available on the whole.

Great - thanks.

What are the sorts of things affiliates like to win in an incentive / competition?
