Affiliate Managers looking to expand their program by recruiting additional Affiliates must look beyond the Internet.  Many Affiliate Managers rely on email or natural growth for their Affiliate program.  Modest growth is obtained through these methods. 

Affiliate Managers who DO grow their Affiliate programs successfully look beyond these methods.  One of the most successful ways I have found to recruit Affiliates is by phone and direct mail. 

Sending potential Affiliates an informational package on their program with a follow-up phone call offers the best results for Affiliate recruitment.  This is especially true for recruiting the ever elusive Super Affiliates. 

Advertising using PPC and traditional Web advertising are other successful, though costly ways to recruit Affiliates. 

So if you are ready to start recruiting quality Affiliates, stop emailing and start thinking outside the box.
