Katie is my affiliate manager for Max Bounty - she's a hottie
Anyways, I got accepted into all the major affiliate networks within only a week under my belt in internet marketing. The key to getting accepted, is to blast them with an array of details and different ways that you plan on/are driving traffic. This is key! Just pummel them with different techniques (but not your golden goose ones) that you have up your sleeve.
Just keep babbling (i didn't even really know what I was talking about at the time, but my tone of voice asserted that I did) and it usually works out.
MaxBounty is a good affiliate network, but there are others out there. Give Neverblue a try (but be forwarned, it was a grueling phone interview since I was a complete noob). Copeac is a pretty good one as well.
Just act confident and be assertive on the phone, and remember to not stop talking until they say "oh well it seems like you know what you are talking about, I am gonna process and accept your app".
I know it is easier said than done, but PM me if you have any further questions.
Also, be SURE to call the company 10-15 minutes after you submit your application, and they will review your app right then and there on the phone with you... I believe this attributed to my success in getting accepted in all the top networks without really a clue as to what I was doing!
(p.s. - I didn't even have a website at the time when I applied to all of them, so if I can do it, I am sure you will.)
