You ultimately have to initially generate the sales yourself and configure a script to award credit to an affiliate. You can find lots of CB affiliate ID's merely my perusing the CB marketplace. Every vendor ID also is an affiliate ID. This process will increase the gravity score of your product within the CB marketplace.
This serves two important purposes:
1) It demonstrates your product information page (sales letter/video) is capable of converting traffic into sales.
2) It provides an element of social proof that "other" affiliates are generating sales of the product. This is critical. There are a *lot* of CB affiliates who have been trained to look for products that have some gravity. You need to provide that.
What will eventually happen is that affiliates will start pushing your product. When they see they can make sales too, they'll continue promoting it. You then need to shift your focus to actively supporting your affiliates.
This should give you some clues.
Oh, and welcome to WW! :-)
