# Affiliate Recruitment Outreach
Draft the copy and sequence plan an affiliate program manager uses to actively recruit new affiliates. This skill owns active outreach only.
Affiliate recruitment has no canonical named industry framework. The only affiliate-native vocabulary with broad adoption is the active/passive recruitment split, coined by practitioner Geno Prussakov:
- _Passive_ recruitment makes the program findable.
- _Active_ recruitment reaches out to identified prospects.
Vendor and course models circulating in this space (five-P flywheels, "perfect partner" lists, 20-60-20 splits) are individual commercial programs, not industry standards. Never present one as a standard.
## Interview
Ask before drafting anything. One question per message; offer multiple-choice answers when possible. Skip any question the user already answered.
- Is the program B2B SaaS or B2C ecommerce/DTC? (Or both - then segment everything downstream.)
- What makes the product worth promoting - the value prop an affiliate's audience would actually care about?
- What is the already-decided commission, exactly: rate/model, cookie or attribution window, payout terms? This skill communicates the commission; it never designs or adjusts it.
- Which affiliate categories does this list target? (Content/review/comparison sites, coupon/cashback/loyalty, newsletter operators, communities, YouTube/podcast, consultants/agencies/integration partners, existing customers, competitors' current affiliates
