Recruiting affiliates will help you to generate more revenue and kickstart your affiliate program. See here how to recruit affiliates for your SaaS.
Recruiting affiliates for your SaaS business is key to scaling your growth. Below are several strategies you can use to attract quality affiliates to your program.
1. Start with Your Own Network
Leverage your existing connections to find potential affiliates. You might already know people who can promote your SaaS. See here already some ideas;
- Current users
- Current consultants / agencies you work with
- Influencers within your network
This one will have the quickest impact! As they already know you, your value and how to promote you.
2. Target High-Ranking Sites for Relevant Keywords
Find websites or blogs that rank well for keywords related to your product. Reach out to these site owners to see if they’re open to an affiliate partnership. These might require you to set up a "Hybrid Deal" => an upfront payment to get yourself listed + a commission for every paid client they deliver to you.
3. Recruit Competitor Affiliates
Look at your competitors’ affiliate programs. If they’re partnering with certain affiliates, there’s a good chance those affiliates could be interested in promoting your SaaS as well.
See the above video for a step by step guide on how to recruit competitor affiliates.
4. Bulk Invite People and Companies with Access to Your ICP
Identify people or companies that already have access to your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). This could include influencers, agencies, or other businesses in your industry. Send bulk invitations to invite them into your affiliate program.
5. List Your SaaS in the Reditus Marketplace
By listing your SaaS in the Reditus Marketplace, you’ll be visible to a large network of B2B SaaS affiliates who can apply to promote your product.
