Hey guys im new to the site but I have been watching for some time now. I have a few questions because it seems that I am without a paddle, please someone give me some glimmer of hope here.

Im am not a web developer btw.

This is my site: theharem.co

I started a lingerie/toy biz thinking it would be easy to get sales consultants for the home parties, thus driving direct traffic to the site. unless im doing it wrong, im getting no leads for reps.

What can I do as far as put my products out there for affiliate marketing. I recently contacted cj.com but not sex toys allowed. I've heard that this is a good way to make money... for who? the merchant or affiliate? how?

What can i do at this point to move forward, or do i scrap the project all together? The world is looking darker the more i learn.

Steve

But the answer is simple.

You picked one of the most over-saturated, over-rated and competitive marketplaces you possibly could. There are tens of thousands of affiliate or drop-shipping sites around and you are at the back of the queue.

How to move forward? Give it a few years for some of the other people who thought it would be a good idea to fall by the wayside and you will should be good to go.

Been there, done that, three years later having made a few sales but still no reps we moved on to something else, and that was over ten years ago.

I agree with Chris that it is a very saturated market. Perhaps making some posts and doing some paid advertising on other sites, etc. about the lingerie/toy biz could help get the word out? But it really is a super competitive niche.
