Ok that helps.

"I would like to sign up at a a site, and get them to advertise for me."

Well that's not how it works. You need to set up an affiliate program on YOUR site and either buy affiliate software to do it, or join an affiliate network. Then YOU need to advertise to get people to come to YOU that want to advertise for you. You cant just go to a site and ask them to advertise for you. You need to have a program set up on your end to track the traffic and sales or in your case subscriptions.

In this scenario you would have to pay to buy software OR pay to be on a network. Do all the work to get everything set up - THEN find affiliates that want to join your program THEN pay them a % or flat fee per sign up.

I'm making it sound a little intimidating because it does not sound to me like its the right way to go. Sounds like you want a simple, cheap, easy fast option, which is not what affiliate marketing is.

However if your model and resources can support setting up an affiliate program for the right reasons and doing it the right way, affiliate marketing can be the best advertising ROI out there. But it's not a "throw it up and see if it works kind of deal."

Most importantly if you are getting bad conversion with PPC now then you should not even consider an affiliate program. If you cant get your own PPC traffic to convert well on your own site, then affiliates are not the answer.
