I’ve been using Claude Cowork to help me find relevant accounts on Twitter/X, TikTok, and Instagram, and then I reach out to them through cold DMs.

So far, it’s actually been working pretty well and I’m getting some decent results. But I’m wondering if I’m missing other channels or strategies that could work better for finding potential affiliates.

For example, are there affiliate networks, communities, marketplaces, or other ways to connect with creators and marketers who are already interested in the peptide/health niche?

I’m also curious about the peptide side of things. Do peptide brands generally run affiliate programs, or are there restrictions that make it difficult to set one up, especially for US-based companies?

Would love to hear from anyone who has experience building an affiliate program or recruiting affiliates in this space. What methods have worked best for you?

Cold DMs can work, but I’d definitely add an inbound channel. A simple affiliate application page can help attract creators who are already looking for offers in your niche.

Your current approach doesn't sound wrong if it's already producing results. I'd just build the compliance side before scaling. In a health/peptide business, recruiting affiliates is only half the job—the bigger question is making sure everyone promotes the products in a legally and platform-compliant way.

On the peptide question, I wouldn't rely on a general “peptide brands usually do X” answer. The regulatory and platform situation can vary depending on the exact product, claims, intended use, and sales model. Professional US compliance advice would be worthwhile before scaling.
