Affiliate marketing is a very good way to spread the word about your business, earn some links, and boost your traffic and sales along the way.

We’re going to be looking at affiliate blogs in particular. There is a more effective way to find potential affiliates than pitching random bloggers hoping that they would be willing to become your affiliate.

In this strategy, you will be finding your competitors’ affiliates and reaching out to them, offering a collaboration with you as well.

This strategy also works well with listicles. Offering a blogger to join your affiliate program would be an enticing incentive for them to put you on their “Top 10” article, if they have one.

Note: For this, you will need Ahrefs or another backlink monitoring software.

There are two ways in which you can find affiliates with Respona.

Products and services that are featured in "top 10" posts are often there as part of an affiliate/referral marketing program.

3. Select the search source:

4. Enter your query (or queries).

Some common queries for finding listicle posts include:

5. Click "continue".

6. Set additional metrics for your opportunities and click "Run automation".

Once the automation is completed, opportunities will automatically be added into your campaign.

Websites that mention your competitors and link to their homepage are also often doing that as part of a promotion/marketing effort.

To find these mentions with Respona, follow these steps:

3. Select the search source: Respona or Ahrefs.

4. Enter the homepage URL of your competitor(s).

5. In the "Anchor" filter, type in your competitor's name.

6. Click "continue".

7. Set additional metrics for your opportunities and click "Run automation".

Once the automation is completed, opportunities will automatically be added into your campaign.
