How can we find marketers to promote our website?

[Farris]

We have a memes site that users can earn from. We share ad revenue just like YouTube and the website is somewhat new.
Where can we find affiliate marketers without being spammy?
We have tried WarriorForums and some other forums.
Can you share a website that can help us?

You want affiliates, or just new members? They are a different target audience.

I am looking for people who can promote my website and earn 10% of their referrals earnings.

Offering only 10% is going to be tough to find affiliates in the MMO market. They have pretty much been spoiled to making 50%, 60% or more.

It's true that 10% is low but you should know that this is ongoing. 10% of ongoing vs 50% of one time. I know that ad agencies such as Ezoic and Adsterra are offering %5 but it's ongoing.

Just wanted to mention that.

It's not about the exact percentages as much as the effort required to get those percentages.

If you took the time to promote a link that pays you 50-75% of every thing you bring in, would you drop that to spend the same time promoting a link that only pays 10% for your effort? What would YOU do?

Yes, there are some people doing well with ad networks only paying 5-10%, but those are the big fish with the big traffic numbers they spent YEARS to build and now it pays off with little effort. Unless you reel in a big fish everyone else is just going to earn pennies and give up quickly in favor of the bigger money.

Split the revenue 50/50 and you'll be way more enticing AND you can promote it as such to gain better traction for your own promotional efforts. At least do that until your site has a large member base and then you can revisit your marketing plan.

I've run PTC & GPT sites that grew VERY quickly at the beginning by offering enticing reasons for members to bring referrals to the site. My very first PTC hit over a million visits each month within 3-4 months just by doing it the right way at the start.

You got this!! Good luck!

Come back in a year and let us know how well just offering 10% worked for you. I hope you do very well. But honestly, just like others that took your approach, the failure rate is high.

One option you could offer is 100% commission on the first 3 months and then 10% for life after that. Or pay a good PPC rate like Ezoic or other "AD networks."

Affiliates that have high traffic, don't gamble. They go for what is PROVEN to make them the most money.

Honestly, if you really believe in your product, forget affiliates and just buy ad space for sites that are a good fit for your product. Then you won't have to deal with the HUGE fraud problem affiliate programs bring along with it.

You could explore affiliate marketing platforms like ShareASale, Commission Junction, or Rakuten Marketing. These platforms connect you with a wide range of affiliate marketers looking for opportunities to promote products or websites. Additionally, consider reaching out to influencers in your niche or utilizing social media platforms to find potential affiliates interested in promoting your memes site without being intrusive or spammy.

You can indeed use social media platforms to find more potential affiliates to promote your website just like what Marc van Leeuwen said. There are lots of people using social media to promote their website. Try it out and see the result.

Do you need it? 80 percent of cases, the site does not need any promotion, because the client himself can handle it. You will only suck money from you with imaginary results
