Bunch of them are even putting together FHGs etc. for their affiliates. But you need to start with 1 site first until you learn your trade. Also, keep in mind that getting affiliates is also a form of promotion. Too many programs sit back and wait for the affiliates come to them instead of researching the market and hitting up the people already promoting in that market. On the other hand, you don't really need affiliates. You can self promote to TGPs, link lists etc. all on your own (or hire a grunt). Too many people on this board think inside the box.
