Your title says attracting affiliates, the body says building affiliate networks. These are 2 totally different questions. Both are HUGE questions requiring different answers. So before anyone wastes time going down the wrong path I thought I'd ask for more info.

Can you clarify what you are looking for and why and maybe we can point you in the right direction.

Are you a merchant wanting to know how to attract more affiliates?

Or are you considering BUILDING an affiliate network. (Totally different and huge task)

Or are you just trying to start a conversation?

If it is book about attracting affiliates, you have stiff competition. Forums like this have been around for years answering those same questions plus a few top affiliate managers with years of experience have written some great books.

Not to discourage you, but a lot has already been done by well known folks in the business so do keep that in mind.

Well, without being grumpy about it, I won't even waste time on answering it - if such a broad and non specific question could be answered - because the poster has posted exactly the same post on six other forums

Why do people think that we 'old hands' are completly asleep at the wheel?
