# What is the Affiliate Finder?

Learn how the Affiliate Finder helps you discover and recruit affiliates for your program

The Affiliate Finder helps you discover potential affiliates that are a great fit for your product. Instead of waiting for affiliates to find you, you can actively search for creators, bloggers, and websites in your niche and reach out to them.

## How it works

1. **Search** — Enter keywords, competitor URLs, or niche topics to find relevant websites and creators
2. **Review** — Browse through the results and see who might be a good match
3. **Shortlist** — Save the best candidates to your shortlist
4. **Find contact info** — Use email lookup to get their contact details
5. **Reach out** — Export your shortlist and start your outreach

## Where to find it

Go to **Discovery** in the left sidebar of your dashboard. From there you can start a new search or view your shortlist.

## What you need

The Affiliate Finder is available on all plans. Each plan comes with a set amount of discovery credits and email credits — yearly plans receive all 12 months of credits upfront. Check the [Credits](/help/affiliate-finder/discovery-credits) article for details.
