      If they are worth a damn, they will want incentives based on their performance versus asking for a flat salary. There are a lot of ghost ships floating around the industry who cannot deliver no matter how many tools you give them. Two words, 'choose wisely'. Get references, and do your due diligence on their background and performance.

      Good luck. You'll need it.

      great advice!
      and good luck

        The days of affiliate "managers" are over, for the most part.
        Affiliates don't need to be "managed".
        If an affiliate is worth ANYthing then they've learned at this point what they need to do to make sales. Newbies, while important, come and go but the real, sales-producing affiliates you need to find individually. An affiliate manager may help initially but, over time, the 2% of affiliates worth a damn will already be covered and then you're left with an affiliate "manager" "managing" a bunch of little guys not worth anyone's time.

        Two cents.

          Well,maybe more accurate description would be "sales manager"since what they mostly is do is spamming boards/mails/etc then actually helping affiliates.

            "Ghost ships".. that's a great way to describe them actually

            As for salary, $2k base + commission might work for some, but you may need to pay more for a guy with experience and reputability. None of the bigger reps I know of would touch anything below $3,500 + a cut of the action.

                I disagree, especially for large programs. They are very necessary as a point of contact and face of the program. The security of being able to easily contact a company about problems and the likes is very valuable

                  If you want some board whore with little to no experience than $2k + commissions will work just fine but for those who can actually do something more than spam boards is going to cost you quite a bit more. I talked to a friend of mine who still does this kind of job and has about 10 years experience, he said $3.2k a month plus $.50 a join for every single affiliate under his umbrella.

                  Surprisingly he doesn't get paid on rebills. I would have thought that he would have but anywho that's another subject for another day.

                  He also said he gets a year Christmas bonus based on his total annual sales for that year. He didn't indicate how much that was but he said it was agreed upon in advance and is written into his contract.

                    you are assuming that everyone uses the exact same method to make sales, you assume incorrectly. I have changed peoples directions a number of times over the years, some of them very successful in the past but things changed on them for one reason or another. Good webmasters are constantly learning and follow the money, not just repeat what they know. You'd think someone with the access and the experience with as many sales techniques as I do would be worth something to someone huh? ;)

                      You are correct to the extent that I assume everyone does business as I do - meaning, even larger companies would have perhaps 5-10% of their affiliates who do 90% of the business. In cases like that affiliate "managers" aren't rally needed. But maybe they are for a company with 100,000 affiliates or something.

                      All I know is, GFY is filled with affiliates complaining about programs large and small, and how it's getting harder for them to make sales so do the math.

                        depends what you want them to do. Anyone of them would or should be asking for base+performance

                        I had a base + % of sales offer from someone who wanted me to handle their affiliate program.
