There's part of your problem. You didn't specify, but I'll assume your affiliate program is 50% revshare on initial sales and rebills. Those rebills are very significant. Almost a third of my affiliate income is from rebills, so I want to be sure a site I promote retains well. New sites don't usually have a lot of content built up yet in the member area, so retention isn't always great at first.

You'll be far better off in the long run learning other ways to generate traffic to your site, then worry about pushing the affiliate program harder when you've been online a year or so. It may be a little slower starting out, but you'll make more money long term.

Some of those other ways include the same things affiliates would be doing to promote you. Submit galleries to TGP's, submit free site to Link Lists, add your site to niche relevant top lists, just to name a few.

my 2¢, for what it's worth

Would it be alright to ask the address of the site? Just a little curious
