MAU 2023 is taking place this week! So if you’re an advertiser looking for new affiliates, here are my top seven tools and tips for finding the right partners to kick things off for summer 2023.
Favorite Affiliate Marketing Tools for Finding Publishers
1). TUNE’s Partner Ecosystem
We’ve been a reliable bridge between advertisers and publishers since our early beginning as HasOffers. Our proprietary Connect partner marketplace makes it easy for both sides to engage in direct conversations with the click of a button.
2). Publisher Discovery
Publisher Discovery is a reliable, cost-effective third-party resource with unlimited publisher reach and automation tools to bolster affiliate recruitment and diversify traffic channels.
3). Agency Services
Time is money, especially if you’re building your affiliate program from scratch. Agencies offer management and partner recruitment under the same umbrella, and help advertisers take the guesswork out of matching their programs with the best publishers.
4). Performance Networks
Proprietary affiliate networks and sub-affiliate networks allow both sides to locate and communicate within a single environment. Data is also easily shared between all parties through dashboard login, customized reports, and campaign management tools.
5). Industry Shows
Nothing beats old-fashioned, in-person networking opportunities at conferences such as Affiliate Summit East and Affiliate Summit West, Affiliate World, FinCon, PI Live, and MAU. Of course, there are others to be considered, and all are worth attending.
6). Social Networks
LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms have really evolved over the past few years, particularly with the popularity of influencers and brand ambassadors. Built-in messaging features can also assist with direct outreach communication and responses from both sides.
7). Word of Mouth
People do business with people they like, know, and trust. The affiliate industry is small enough for word to get around, particularly if business is bad. A good name and reputation go a long way, and you’re always known by the last company you worked for or the last deal you negotiated. In short: use your personal network, and be careful not to burn any bridges.
Tools of the Trade
All of the above resources can help advertisers and publishers create mutually-beneficial partnerships. Try any one of them singularly, or take a more strategic approach of mixing them up for optimal results.
