Why do people put affiliate reps on pedestals?

Yo Smells, I made 6k the month, i got interviewed ....wait, i was a marketing manager with Adult, you must not be talking about...my bad

I'm still looking for the stupid newbie questions. You've pointed to threads discussing a program I own in these.

You are hard headed....

In the first thread you call out CCBill for fucking up and not counting right and come to find out your links are fucked up.

You really need me to explain the 2nd?

The remaining just show how you ask basic newb questions and advice that a new affiliate program owner would ask. Nothing serious. Just pointing out that not too long ago you knew very little.

Albeit they all might not be "questions" but who cares.

IMO, (which I would advise taking with a grain of salt):

The key is striving to take yourself to the next level without feeling that every time you breath, you should be compensated. Always remember, your value is always in your knowledge for later use, not that extra few thousand dollars a year. This business is in a state of consolidation, the need for people that don't want to take the extra task will be eliminated.

I think it is also important to understand that this, in some ways, is your education. Mainstream companies and adult companies both will need qualified candidates to assist with a diversity of tasks. College degrees do not exactly encompass those needs. The closer you work with your program, the greater your understanding of e-Com will be.

I have had the luxury of being in two very fortunate situations. One was Adult Check and the other is the current: Wegcash. Both successful programs at the time of my employment. Both allowed me opportunities at growing and learning more.

People on GFY tend to get "tunnel vision." Sure, success is in sending traffic, but at the same time traffic models are changing and the costs of doing that business is rising (attrition). The best thing anyone can do is absorb as much as they can while the opportunity exist.

That said, part of my deal with Weg (as expressed by me to them) is that I am a full part of our business. In other words, even if I am not in charge of certain aspects per se, I am given the opportunity to learn about it. One example is our banking relationships and processing, that is John's job to oversee, however he is extremely knowledgeable in the field and allows me the opportunity to learn more about it.

Even our Marketing is taken more serious than most people know. If you look at the history of our Marketing, you will see distinct campaigns. Our next marketing campaign will be very unique and based on actual marketing techniques used in mainstream. In other words, there isn't a part of our business that we don't strive to be the best in, and those are the type of people we want working here.

BTW Luv$, don't take my post as me talking down to you, or that I think I am an expert; neither are true in the slightest. I am just posting in freeform and your post inspired this post.

Great thread Alky.

No, dumb ass, an affiilate had his code wrong and I didn't recognize that.


And you're still off the fucking topic here. Re-read the thread title.

Why not hire/fire reps for how much they make the company.

Hire 'X' rep this month.

See how much he makes next month and hire another person, 'Y'.

If 'Y' makes the company more $ then fire 'X'.

Next month hire 'Z' and if 'Z' makes more money, fire 'X'.

You can weed out the bad reps by this, no?

This puts pressure on the reps to make the company more money and not fool around. Is that stupid?

As a rep for your own program, you should have noticed the problem with the code right away.

Doubtful depending on the EXACT error, typo, no its not his job to notice, format, yes he should.

BTW Ccbill link codes are confusing as fuck, thats why I dont use CCBill sponsors. Go figure.

well not really, you dont have to have any tech knowledge to work in this biz, good business sense is all what is needed...
BradShaw or Rick Latona don't know any html from what i heard


and i think this thread was about the 'business sense' ( or lack of it ) of some affiliate managers too
