Affiliate Programs Looking for affiliates for my site, but don't know where to start. Any pointers?

Hi guys. Long time reader, never posted before today though

I run a site selling tools and services to professional photographers, I have an affiliate programme which pays ~20% (some sales are 20% of the gross, some 20% of the net depending on whether they buy crowd-sourced or professionally fulfilled services, the latter being high-value services) and I'm just about to launch some new stuff too so I'm looking for a way to promote my affiliate programme. I have a problem though because I don't sell discrete units the earnings are often in many low-cents transactions so it doesn't really fit under services like ClickBank/CJ etc.

I'm hoping you guys have some ideas about how I can promote it since I'm looking to expand the userbase (have a couple of thousand photographers using the site at the moment, but only a few people have thusfar made use of the affiliate programme), or tell me if even mentioning it here is a no-no.

Thanks, any input appreciated Bob

Have you already submitted your site to large affiliate-program directories as well as any sites that are specifically for photo affiliates? It's one thing.

That's the problem, I literally don't know where to start... I can't find any sites for photo affiliates. I google for that type of thing and all I ever get is forums and sites talking about CB and the like. Can't find anything specifically for people who affiliate to my type of service.

Best way to recruit affiliates is to just sell your product to happy customers within your niche, then entice them to your affiliate program.
There are lots of mobile marketing platform available ,but i used Login - Unmatched Solutions Pvt Ltd and also used geenapp for best cpa offer.
Unmatchedapp is a mobilemarketing platform for affiliate and advertisers focused on mobileapps with offer best cpa offer site.
paying small fees to for a service to submit your program to the major directorie

You should look into 2nd or 3rd tier CPA networks that could manage your offer and broker it to trusted partners. PM if you need any help with this.

You might want to get in touch with @Jilo here, he's into photography as well as domains so he might be able to help you out since he is familiar with both fields.

Hey,

You can use Photobucket or istok for your photograph. You can make money from there.

It has been a very long time since I've looked at the affiliate marketing space, however ShareASale.com is still alive and might be a good starting place to at least look at how affiliate marketing programs work. If memory serves, they were quite price competitive.
