For me id rather be active on the boards searching for new business deals and then, when it gets to a point the person i am talking with is wanting to do serious business, pass them over to the program owner... Think of it like screening your phone calls... Except a real person is doing the screening not a machine :)

very well put!

Some ppl have not liked me I'm quite sure, some have written to my bosses about how good I am at being on top of the game, but one person alone can't do everything or the company couldn't grow. The company grows and they can raise payouts. Plus these people also have families and a few hours of sleep a night they need, that is why they hire people to help. That is just my 2 cents. I can't even imagine at my old job, the owner handling all affiliates when they own 7 programs now, each with multiple sites, it just can't be done. That would be one owner handling about 10,000 affiliates. (When they need over 8 that are over loaded). This is not my current employer and it's something good to be said about my previous because they grew from nothing to huge and they did it working with ppl that worked hard for them. That is how these small programs grow, a bunch of quality people chipping in and working overtime and brainstorming, it's a unique dynamic.

Nothing says that reps have failed, many often still have side stuff going. Of course there are some programs that just pay so damn well, offer benefits, and well give people much more security over being a standard affiliate.

I just think you are generalizing to much and basing all reps off of a few that just do their jobs badly.

Then to think that every affiliate can get to take up untold amounts of contact everyday from the owners of some multi million dollar a year companies are laughable.

Right on, I really dont see why is it so hard to understand that the upper management\owners have more important things to do and just cant multiply (no matter how much they want) the hours in the day...

This is a no brainer, and I'm surprised to see people bitching about it...

This may work on bigger company's, but not to the extend some people are talking about here and if you are a big affiliate...

Like I said some people are way way out of touch with reality..

There is something to be said for any program where it's owner will personally give you support, content, etc.
if you're a valuable affiliate, you get to talk to ownership. if your a loud mouthed kid on GFY, not so much.

... and there are quite a few programs where the owner respects the affiliate manager(s) so much that they let them make most of the decisions... good one...

To be honest, I dont even know what people use reps for to be honest.

Kristin helped me with some mobile stuff only because it involved mobile redirect stuff, but other than that...

sign up for program
grab codes
make sign up
get paid

I think reps are mostly for getting affiliates, ive never used them much, never needed them for anything other than PAYMENT stuff.

Amazing how many affiliate reps don't know what to do when you ask them for help to best convert your traffic

Farang 10-06-2009 07:50 AM
Got tranny traffic?

Why should a rep do your job for you?

It's your traffic, if you don't know how to convert it why should anyone pay you for it?

First you fire the reps, then you fire the affiliates, then you get the women.
Say hello to my little fren.

Yes, the thing to be said is that it's a tiny ass program.

DebsDeep 10-06-2009 10:41 AM
Every affiliate deals with me or my hubby, everytime all the time
I agree with this post and would like to add thist is part of the problem, everything has gone so corporate over the years. We keep it simple, promote us, get paid, always everyweek and on time. Ccbill handles all payouts so we never have to worry about affiliates not getting paid.

My dear friend: when you promote www.sexxybrandon.com or www.felluciablow.com (or any of my other 14 sites) you will ONLY be dealing directly with me. I will supply you personally with whatever promo materials you need, a member's pass so you can choose what suits your needs best, and I am reachable 16 hours a day (it would be 24 but a guy's gotta sleep SOMEtime).

Signup here and email me:
www.peabodycash.com

This assumes, of course, that you want to make moolah. :)

This right here is a prime example of someone who NEEDS to hire an affiliate rep.

Babaganoosh 10-06-2009 11:15 AM
Affiliate reps are largely unnecessary. The only times I really need one are when I am having a payment issue or if I see some potential in something and I want some more exclusive content or promo material.

media 10-06-2009 11:16 AM
With our stuff the owner will most likely refer you right back to me or one of our other peeps in the appropriate area.. Our main staff is small, but we get alot done..

I do understand going direct to the owner, I do it alot myself, but thats because I used to be "the owner" of my own shit before and got used to b2b..

I've been around for a long time and I plan to continue being around.. Many people would vouch for me and how I roll..

Sorry but thats just plain stupid. Sure I want to be able to talk to an owner if needed but hell I don't expect him to get me some content to work with or some basic webmaster stuff lol

I do hear you though about the quality of most reps but hasn't that been the case since forever?

XMaster 10-06-2009 11:23 AM
I'm the owner.
check my sig out ;)
