Finding publisher prospects and inviting them to join your program is simple with the FuseTwo Publisher Recruitment Tool. The following step-by-step instructions explain how to do that.

The Publisher Recruitment Tool can either be accessed by directly visiting Publishers > Find Publishers or by clicking the “Find Publishers” button at the bottom of the Publisher List page:

The resulting page will offer instructions for the process of finding publisher prospects and sending them an invitation to join your program.

When you’re ready to begin searching, click the “Start” button at the bottom-right corner of the page.

1. Select your program.
2. Search by keywords, Publisher ID#, location, reach, or categories.
   You may select product or service categories publishers are currently promoting for.Note: FuseTwo technology identifies and displays results based on recent “Live Click Data.”
3. In the bottom-right corner, click the Continue button.
   
4. Click to select one, or all (by selecting the top box) to send an invitation message. There are ten (10) publishers displaying on each page.
   
5. Review the list and click boxes on the left to confirm. Then, click the “Continue” button.Note: Publisher results of your search are based on Advertiser categories they are actively promoting in, and publishers can be in multiple categories which will affect the resulting publisher count. (ie: You may see five publishers when searching one category and six when adding a second category. After removing the first category the result shows more than one. This is due to publishers being assigned to both categories.)
6. In the Find Publishers invitation process you will be presented with an option to assign publishers a Private Offer of a different commission payout than the program’s default commission rate. Private Offers can be used as an incentive to encourage publishers to apply for your program. An End Date is required. Private offers created for this purpose will only be displayed in the Assign Private Offer page of the Find Publisher tool. However, the Private Offers page will show the assigned private offers in the “Recruitment” column.Assigning a Private Offer is optional. You can skip sending a special offer or create an offer of higher, lower or tiered commission levels, as shown below.Create a Private Offer
   

   Note: If you are sending a payout rate less than the program’s set default commission payout the start date will be delayed by seven (7) days to assure the publisher has time to be aware of the change and accept the offer.
