Good post. Let me just add that you can also look for affiliates that are already promoting your competitors and contact them to see if they would also be interested in promoting you.

Another good way of getting affiliates is by posting your program in affiliate directories on the websites that announce launches. There are lots of affiliates looking for new products to promote so if you have some visibility there you might get some extra affiliates.
 
You can also search for websites that are selling products that are in the same niche with yours. After you find these websites just contact the owners through the contact page and present your affiliate program. Point out the things that make your program unique and if you are a good seller you will have new affiliates.
 
Great article! Would you be able to describe how to attract affiliates over social media such as Facebook? Do you target specific facebook groups, or do you promote your program to your existing audience?
