@Henrik: I haven't used Link Capture in quite a while, because I don't manage affiliate programs anymore - sorry, no idea what they're doing these days.

Hi, interesting info here.
A question, I used to use LC previously but changed work, and dont have the software any more, are they still up and running since they doesnt seem to be answering support, or any other means of communicating.

Thanks for any feedback

Hi Bob -

I would suggest a small test of 100-200, so you can test the effectiveness of the card you’re sending out.

Thanks Shawn,

I’ll get myself a copy of LC too. No point reinventing the wheel.

When promoting a new aff program how many post cards do you mail out to kickstart the campaign? (100, 1000, or more) At 42 cents a piece it adds up quickly.

Appreciate your insight. Lots of good stuff on your blog.

Hi Bob -

I typically use the templates that are available via ExpressCopy.com.

Not sure about other programs. I’m happy with what Link Capture does for me.

Shawn,

Do you have any postcard templates that worked really well for you, which we can view online?

Secondly do you know of any other software better than link capture specifically for finding out Clickbank affiliates. (I’m looking at affiliateelite.com) but maybe there’s better one’s out there I don’t know of.

Thanks for your input,
Bob

There is one called the Internet Success Spider – last time I checked, it wasn’t as feature rich as Link Capture.

which other softwares like LC have you used or recommend to recruit affiliates ?

Lots of variables, like the strength of the brand name, competitiveness of the commission in the vertical, etc.

But I typical recruited 20% of those mailed.

You can figure you’ll get nearly a 100% open rate when you go in their mailbox, and virtually nobody else is doing this to recruit.
