I've been in this niche for 5 years.
Have some connections with other affiliate marketers (I can give you number my aff. email subscribers, but can't really say how many are still active)
3 months ago I was working for new startup in affiliate marketing industry (only shareasale and clickbank users/marketers), my job was also getting new affiliates who will use and promote their new application.
I can spread a word to a lot of affiliates, but will they promote you depends only on you, your product and your skills. I can give you few tips for this, in case you need it.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to contact me at any time.
