Hi,

I just developed a website for my resume writing and career coaching business. I am an excellent writer who has been working for other companies. I decided it was time to branch out on my own.

Do you know of any affiliate managers willing to work with new entrepreneurs? I sell resume writing and career coaching products.

I appreciate any input you could give me on this topic!

Thanks,
Patricia Erickson

Short expert summary and practical next steps for ’s resume-writing / career-coaching site.

Affiliate channels can work, but networks and managers usually prefer sellers with repeatable, low-friction products or an existing conversion history; service offers (high-consideration, trust-based sales) are harder to scale through generic banner affiliates. That makes investing in content and direct referral channels a smarter first step than expecting broad affiliate uptake out of the gate. (shopify.com)

Concrete, practical approach (start small, measure, iterate):

  • Productize one thing affiliates can sell: a ready-made resume template, a short ebook, or a DIY resume kit that converts immediately; ClickBank and similar marketplaces suit digital products, while services usually need a referral model.
  • For coaching/resume work, run a referral program that pays per qualified booked appointment (example: fixed fee per booked client or a % of first-session revenue) rather than per click; define “qualified” clearly (first paid session completed, non-refunded).
  • Use lightweight affiliate/referral platforms to handle links, coupons and payouts (examples: Tapfiliate, Post Affiliate Pro) and tag every partner link with UTMs so conversions are tracked in GA4. (support.clickbank.com)

How to recruit and test: begin with trusted, niche partners (career bloggers, LinkedIn authors, university career centers, HR consultants, targeted job boards). Provide swipe copy, a review sample, and a tracking coupon. Keep large networks (CJ/Awin/etc.) on the roadmap for later, but expect stricter approvals and the need for performance history before they drive real volume. If immediate traffic is required while testing offers, short PPC tests on search/social give predictable visibility; use those results to tune conversion pages before scaling partner payouts. (shopify.com)

Compliance and ops: document terms (what counts as a sale/lead), payout cadence, and dispute rules; require clear affiliate disclosures per FTC endorsement guidance and keep tidy reporting for audit and payout reconciliation. Start with a handful of partners, review real conversion data, then widen the program once ROI is proven. (ftc.gov)

Being a writer, you should be able to develop sufficient enough content to propel your web site in the search engine results pages. If you tried focusing on generating your own traffic rather than relying on someone else's, your ROI would improve.

Problem with affiliate banners is that you get a whole whack of clicks, automated ones too, but very few of sincere interest in your service.

Have a look into Pay Per Click (PPC) programs... sometimes more effective than affiliate networks.

If you really want to get into the business it requires a little creativity. Why not set up your own affiliate system? Contact programmers or designers that don't have the skills for copywriting.... set up partnerships everywhere and work with others to build the best possible product.

Or you could try pitching it on CJ or some other network and have the middle man take half your money

How is Bing.com works for advertizing by the way? Is it as effective as google?

you should look into affiliate programs like commission soup and commission junction. You might see a category there for your niche.

Member Avatar for jennypitts

Yeah, canadafred is right. Only with your writing skill and adding quality content to your site you should be able to boost your search engine results.

Clickbank is good if you have an actual product like and ebook, videos or something physical. But if your selling a service try other networks.
