Client Goal:
Build a high-quality affiliate network on ShareASale that drives sustainable revenue, leveraging both outbound recruitment and inbound attraction strategies.
Our Approach
1. Outbound Recruitment
- Targeted Partner Sourcing – Identified affiliates in relevant niches via curated industry lists, top-performing ShareASale profiles, and niche newsletters.
- Personalized Outreach – Sent custom emails highlighting the merchant’s competitive commission rates, EPC, and unique selling points.
- Fast Onboarding – Streamlined approval so new affiliates could start promoting in under 24 hours.
2. Inbound Recruitment
- SEO-Optimized Program Pages – Created keyword-rich program descriptions on ShareASale and the merchant’s site to rank for “best affiliate programs” searches.
- Affiliate Directories & Forums – Listed the program on industry hubs like Affilorama, STM Forum, and niche-specific community boards.
- Content & PR – Published blogs, guest posts, and LinkedIn updates that highlighted the program’s benefits, naturally attracting affiliates to sign up.
Results

- 100% of recruited affiliates generated at least $100 in commissions (Baseline revenue = $348k+).
