Hi everyone, my name's Dave and I've signed up here as it seems to be a really thriving community and I could do with some help/advice.
I am building a site to sell a PDF download and access to an online tool (both of which are my own products). The problem I face is that I don't have money to launch a marketing campaign, hire a sales person etc... so my plan is to incentivise other website owners to promote my page and pay a 50% commission per download. I'm sure this isn't a new concept to you guys but I have no prior experience.
As part of my sites design/development, I am building in a custom affiliate program (member sign in, monitor revenue etc..). I have no problem with this from a technical point of view but my BIG issue is I just don't know how to attract other site owners and getting them to push my product.
So my question is…What inexpensive methods can I use to tell people about this revenue generating opportunity and get them to sign up and start sending traffic to me? I am looking to target experienced affiliate people who have an existing/attentive audience etc.. rather than "Joe Blogs" who will put a banner on his site that nobody sees.
Thank you
Dave
PS. I hope this thread hasn't come across as an "advert". I know forums can be used as a tool for free promotion, hence why I've not put in any specifics. I am not looking to promote anything, I am relatively clueless and genuinely in need of guidance.
