Hopefully, this could be of some help to those who have a small program/paysite.

Rule #1 -- you should already have traffic of your own. This is key since you can't expect affiliate marketing to take your business to the next level if you haven't optimized your sites to convert yet. Optimizing requires your own generated traffic helping you 'sculpt' your tours/email responses and user experience.
Some ideas re getting webmaster affiliates for paysite programs (based on commonly used approaches):
1) hold a contest
2) boost payouts temporarily
3) post new model/new site updates
4) announce partnerships with major recognized high rollers in the biz
5) buy small ad spots at webmaster submit areas
6) sig posts that are interesting/on point.
7 ) submit to adult webmaster resource sites
8) write a press release and submit to xbiz pimpcafe, etc etc
9) partner up with bigger programs for BIG CONTESTS or to co-sponsor a party at the webmaster meets
Rule #2
There's a big difference between BRANDING and ACTUAL ACQUISITION. You can't be impatient. It takes webmasters some time to trust your program for them to actually sign up. So the key is to keep branding. This takes time.
Don't view this as lost time since you can use this time to continuously fine tune your sites' conversions/promo materials.
