How to Find Affiliates for a Website

Go to a large Internet company like Ebay, Overstock.com or Amazon.com. Look at the bottom of their page in the lower navigation bar where there are usually links for contacting the company, terms and conditions and so on. You might find a link that says 'Affiliates' or 'Advertise'. If so, click this link and sign up for their affiliate program.
Go to any large Internet advertising company that hosts affiliate programs for smaller companies, like Linkshare, or Commission Junction (cj.com). Create an account with one of those companies and surf through their affiliate programs. They partner with many companies and offer text links, banners and more advanced advertising that you can simply cut and paste into your website. You apply for each program separately with a simple click of the mouse. Once approved, paste these affiliate ads right into your website.
Search the Internet for affiliate advertising, or affiliate programs and you will find a host of websites that offer information on affiliate programs and a few that list hundreds of companies that are looking for website affiliates. Sign-up for web advertising newsletters, or visit online or interactive advertising websites. They offer more information on where to find affiliate programs, how to increase your conversions, and which affiliate programs are the most lucrative.
Network with other website publishers and web designers. Ask them about their own affiliate programs, and keep your own ear to the ground for new and upcoming affiliate possibilities. Nearly every company today has some sort of affiliate program, and they are interested on expanding their reach on the Internet. There is plenty of opportunity for you to profit from this new medium if you know where to look!

How to Start an Incentivized Freebie Website Business

Select a catchy, relevant and searchable name for your site, such as “Freeipods.com” and then verify that the domain name is available by visiting GoDaddy.com and checking availability. If available, purchase immediately, as domain names go quickly.
Sign up for a PayPal account at PayPal.com, if you do not already have one. Most online payments are made via PayPal.
Select a web host to host your site. Look for a web host with dedicated customer service, Google Adwords or Myspace advertising credits, ample bandwidth storage space, a business email address and free templates. Unless you are experienced in hypertext markup language and hypertext preprocessor, which is a type of script writing, consider purchasing a script, such as one offered from Myeasyscripts.com, to help you design an incentive website and to automate your site.
Join an affiliate program such as Commission Junction, Azoogle, clixGalore or Never Blue. Once accepted, browse the lists of advertisers to include on your site. Generally, you will need to be approved by each advertiser before you can put their ads on your site.
Develop an “About Us” page, a “Free Offers” page, a “Privacy” page, a “Terms and Conditions” page, a “Gifts” page and a “Log-in” Page, where customers must create a log-in in order to be able to sign up for offers. On your “About Me” or “Terms and Conditions” or 'FAQ' page, detail the requirements for obtaining credits, the credit amounts required for each type of prize and when users can expect to receive their free prize. Consider consulting with an attorney or reviewing other freebie websites when developing the policies expressed on these pages. Create a “Testimonials” page that allows satisfied customers to post pictures with their prize along with their testimonial.
Consult with an attorney, accountant and insurance agent to ensure that you have covered all legal and financial concerns in establishing your IFW. You will need a liability insurance policy; although your products are being “gifted,” you are still liable for any harm caused by a malfunctioning Xbox or other product. In order to obtain a policy, you will need to register your business with your county clerk. If possible, use your domain name as your business name and register your business with your county clerk’s office.
Advertise your site. Post links to your site on relevant forums where users are looking for freebie sites. Put a link to your site in your signature. Utilize Google Adwords, which is a program offered by Google that advertises on sites based on customer searches or location.
Allow 2 to 3 weeks as a buffer for shipping out your prizes. This gives you enough time to shop around for a deal on the prize that will be sent. If you have enough upfront capital, consider buying in bulk to save even more on your prizes. If you will offer many electronics, such as Nintendo Wiis and iPods, consider opening a rewards account at Best Buy or other electronic stores that give you points towards a store gift card for every dollar spent.
