Effective inexpensive ways to promote affiliate programs for webmasters?

Question

Project management

There is a demanded high-quality product in the financial sector. To promote it, a CPA affiliate (sales fees) is being developed with all the features for affiliates. There is already some experience, since in fact it is a reboot of the previous startup, but still interesting is the opinion / advice of people, first of all, those with experience in promoting PP, etc.
Goal: to attract as many and as quickly as possible strong partners for long-term cooperation with minimal financial investments.
To start, it is planned:
1) To make an e-mail-mailing to the existing database of webmasters with an invitation to a new PP.
2) Add an offer to large CPA networks (Ad1, ActionPay, Admitad, etc.).
3) Get office. topics for discussing PP on popular large Runet forums (Search, Webmasters, MMGP, etc.)
4) Buy a branded hat for webmasters for a period of 1 month.
5) Fix office. Topics in the "Affiliate Programs" section on Search and Webmasters for a period of 1 month.
6) Buy advertising posts in public sites of reputable affiliates (CPA King aka Alexander Kuznetsov, etc.)
7) Buy targeted VK advertising in communities for affiliates / webmasters.
What would you add/remove? How would you rank the points in terms of efficiency / cost? Justify your choice as much as possible. Please indicate what is your real experience, and what is theory.
Thanks in advance for your advice/recommendations/opinions/experiences.

Answer 1

Thanks in advance for your advice/recommendations/opinions/experiences.

Judging by the fact that in 22 hours of the publication of the question, there is not a single answer, all the same, let's start the discussion:
1. There is not enough information about prices, at least approximate ones.
2. All the options you have given are very good, but to remove or leave it depends, at least, on the budget (planned and actual), and, as a maximum, on expediency and efficiency.
It is necessary to analyze each option separately, and then the overall effect of the totality. This, of course, if you need a normal detailed answer in essence, and not just "water" and IMHO-opinion, which will not help you in any way.
For example, I don’t know how much the average cost of branded hats and offtopic is now + prices vary, even look at the discount (again, resource traffic, pricing policy, etc.). Further, what is the allowable budget for promotion (you don’t even need to say the amount, you can share or%%..).
Give us more information and I'll be happy to help in any way I can, as they say!
