Agree 100% that that’s how you keep an affiliate. But how do you get him to sign up in the first place?
It’s more than just the commission percentage, I’m sure.
With me, there are a few factors.
1 – Have they been around long with no major issues
2 – Do they come highly recommended from people I trust
3 – Do I know anyone who works there (especially with NEW programs)
Commission % isn’t as important to me because 100% of nothing is nothing. Eventually most programs end up paying about the same.
That being said I would suggest that you continue doing what you’re doing. Visit the affiliate forums, be helpful, be friendly and eventually people will begin to trust you and will sign up. It won’t happen overnight so think long haul. Something else you can do is go to igaming affiliate conferences and meet people face to face. Not only will you pick up some affiliates, you’ll also learn how to make your program better.
