Most (actually almost all) affiliate and CPA networks will accept affiliate applications if they’re a known affiliate (ie: already doing pretty well in another network – because word gets around pretty quickly).

If you’re a new affiliate, particularly if you’re outside of the US, it’ll be hard to get accepted, only because there’s a pretty high level of fraud (bad leads) rampant in the industry now.

Attending trade shows is one way of getting yourself known, especially if the networks have booths there.

Another way is to get referred by an existing affiliate, which they’ll generally do, if you’d known to them.

The other way is to set up a blog and a facebook account as you’ve done. I’d probably put more content on both accounts, so you’ll look like a genuine person and have a higher chance of getting approved.

I did a recently podcast with Jim Lillig from the Offeratti network and he’s got a number of suggestions for getting approved.

Might be worth a listen.

Cheers!
