Is your service something that's already well known in its own industry? Or is it something brand new trying to take off?

I'm not sure if in the latter case it is sensible to concentrate highly on affiliate programs.

- Footer links often get overlooked. Consider creating a dedicated landing page for your affiliate program and linking to it more prominently.

- Reach out directly to content creators in your niche. Personalized outreach can be more effective than passive methods.

- Provide clear value propositions and competitive commission rates. Creators need to see why your program is worth their time.

- Consider listing your program on affiliate directories. Full disclosure: I run AffiliList.com, a curated directory of affiliate programs. It might help increase your visibility to potential affiliates.

Ads can work, but they're often not as cost-effective as organic methods. Focus on building relationships and providing value to your affiliates first.
