subject: Affiliate Programs - What to do when you get turned down for an affiliate program [print this page] You have joined an affiliate network and you are ready to get started with adding products and services to your website. Now all you have to do is find companies that will allow you to join their program.
So you see an affiliate program that you really like. They offer a product that you think will be a good fit for your website or blog and you apply. You have to supply information about your website and how you plan on marketing the products and services. After a few days you check your email account and you see that you have been declined as an affiliate. Nobody likes being turned down. The internet is a big place and the thing that you have to remember is that you are not going to be approved all the time.
You don't know what the affiliate company is really looking for. Maybe your website is too new and doesn't have much traffic yet. Or the company doesn't like the content of your website. Well the thing to remember is that everybody is not going to like your website or blog. You just have to find the companies that are interested in allowing you to market products. Some companies are easy to work with and others are more selective in the number of affiliates that they want to have.
Remember that just because an affiliate turns you down once doesn't mean that you won't do business in the future. Just continue to build your website and blog and if you are still interested in those affiliate programs apply again at a later date. Just know that there are other affiliate programs and you can find a program that can work with you.
Don't limit yourself to one affiliate program or one company. Search online for affiliate programs and make a note of the ones that interest you. Getting turned down for an affiliate program is not a big deal. Companies are joining, and leaving affiliate programs all the time. And just because you get accepted with an affiliate program doesn't mean that you will stay an affiliate. Continue to build your website and be flexible when it comes to affiliate programs.
