Where do you find great* affiliate offers to promote?

A couple days ago I was talking to

@Kevin Hood

and he asked:

"What are your criteria for offers that you're looking to help promote?"

My criteria for affiliate offers are pretty damn simple:

1. A real problem that people on my list have

2. A sexy new solution

3. Proof

Those 3 points pay off the (*) in my headline above.

And now that I think about it, you can add to them a fourth point:

4. A price/proposition that a) makes it likely my audience will actually want to buy and b) makes it worth my while to promote

(Put all those four points together and you happen to get the Bencivenga Persuasion Equation.)

The trouble is, it's been almost impossible for me to find affiliate offers that really satisfy all 4 of these criteria, or at least to find as many as my audience has an appetite for.

I've tried to fix this in various ways, the most effective of which have been:

1. Networking like a beagle at the dog park

2. Starting a community of list and offer owners with the explicit purpose of finding new affiliate offers to promote (ie. starting my own dog park)

3. Working with offer owners on repackaging and repositioning their offers in a way that I know my audience will respond better to (err... I've run out of dog analogies)

But once again, too little, too rarely.

So I'm curious:

Have you promoted an affiliate offer that worked out great for you?

If so, where/how did you find the offer?
