How to Find the Right Affiliates for Your Program (Without Wasting Time on DMs)

The #1 question brands ask after launching their affiliate program?

“Cool… but where do I actually find affiliates?”

Because without good affiliates—creators, customers, and content people who actually convert—your program just becomes a lonely dashboard.

The good news? You don’t need an agency, a massive following, or a 12-step outbound strategy to recruit solid affiliates.

You just need a system. Let’s break it down.

1. Start With Who Already Loves You

If you’re not tapping into your own customer base first, you’re skipping the easiest win possible.
These people already:

  • Bought your product
  • Love your product
  • Have skin in the game (literally, if you’re a skincare brand)

Enter: Jump’s Auto-Invite Tool
This feature automatically detects your repeat, high-interest customers—and lets you invite them to join your affiliate program in one click.

They get:

  • Their own custom affiliate link
  • A branded storefront (if you enable it)
  • An easy way to earn when they share what they love

You get:

  • A sales army that already believes in you
  • Higher trust and higher conversion rates
  • No cold outreach, no guessing

🧠 Tip: Customize your invite message to make it feel personal and aligned with your brand’s voice.

2. Use the Jump Affiliate Network

Want access to affiliates who already want to promote e-commerce brands?

Jump’s built-in Affiliate Network lets brands on our paid plans invite top-performing creators and affiliates to join their programs.

Here’s how it works:

  • Affiliates browse and apply to your program directly inside Jump
  • You approve the best fits
  • They get instant access to their links, codes, or storefronts

The best part? These aren’t just “sign up and ghost” affiliates. Jump filters for active, performance-minded partners.
It’s like a marketplace—but curated for people who actually move product.

3. Find Micro-Influencers on TikTok and Instagram

Micro-influencers (1k–50k followers) have:

  • More engaged communities
  • Higher trust
  • Lower barriers to entry

Search hashtags related to your niche (#skincarecommunity, #clearskinroutine, #beautytips), and DM creators using short, respectful messages.
Even better? Invite them straight to your Jump-hosted signup page with custom branding and a killer CTA.

🧠 Tip: Offer them a custom storefront and trackable bonuses—they’ll feel like a true partner, not just a discount code.

4. Partner With Industry Professionals and Niche Communities

Want affiliates who bring both credibility and conversions?

Start with:

  • Licensed estheticians
  • Makeup artists
  • Health coaches
  • Niche Facebook or Discord groups focused on skincare or wellness

These are trusted experts who already have influence—even if it’s not on TikTok. Many of them are open to affiliate partnerships but just haven’t been approached with a clear, easy-to-join offer.

🧠 Tip: Offer them an exclusive affiliate code or bundle tailored to their audience’s needs (e.g. “Summer Facial Recovery Kit”).

5. Create a Clear, Exciting Landing Page

Make sure your affiliate signup page isn’t just a form. It should:

  • Explain your brand in 1–2 sentences
  • Show off your products
  • Highlight commission structure or perks
  • Link to real affiliate examples (especially if they have storefronts)

Jump gives you a hosted sign-up page that’s ready in minutes—with CNAME options if you want to run it on your domain. Easy win.

Final Thoughts: You Don’t Need More Affiliates—You Need the Right Ones

Start with the people who are already close to your brand.
Then use tools like the Jump Affiliate Network and Auto-Invite to scale the process without losing authenticity.

No more guessing. No more ghosted DMs.
Just real creators, real fans, and a real growth channel that compounds over time.
