    Serious Business Suggestion for Affiliate Programs in 2011

    Serious Business Suggestion for Affiliate Programs in 2011


    Around 2001-2002, I joined an affiliate program (can NOT remember which one)

    I was assigned an affiliate rep that actually went out of her way to call me.

    I thought this was the neatest/coolest thing ever... No other Affiliate program gave a shit at that time about reps...Everyone was making money, We are all partying like Rockstars.
    Basically just calling to check on me and see if I needed anything or whatever... Mostly just to say hey "We're human, and we recognize you are too"

    I did land up fucking that rep at the next Vegas convention. But that's not important right now.

    But, even if they had assigned me a guy... I would have loved that they followed up and called me from time to time. (I would have not fucked him)

    Affiliates are jumping ship/quitting the biz because we're trying all kinds of shit and its not working.

    If you guys had someone that called us to show you cared, we may actually try harder for you.

    Just an idea- And I would love to see what you guys think of this idea?


    Would this help you as an Affiliate trying to find the right company to promote?????

              No offense, but if you need a rep to give you motivation to try to work harder and make more money then you in the wrong business. If you can't motivate yourself to make more money on your own then you need to go work for someone else and collect a check each week.

              I want the reps to stay out of my way and leave me alone. On the rare occasion I need them to check if a payment is sent or whatever I will hit them up.

              I don't give a fuck if the company cares or not. Just pay me on time and up hold your end of the bargain.

              It's 2011, I'm not worried about gifts, pat on the back, drinks, calls to tell me good job.... I'm worried about assholes changing their TOS, deciding not to pay people, going out of business, shaving, scamming, etc... If they can just stick to keeping their end of the deal, that is all the love I need them to show me.

              " call us to show you care every once and a while" hunh ??? You drunk ?

                  ya i've done work for a lot of sponsors in the last decade. the ones that have any awareness of their affiliate program at all don't think its worth spending that much effort, money and time on a group of salespeople who are already earning 50% or more of each sale.

                  not saying thats right, but its definitely the typical view of a sponsor. i dont care how bad sales get, calling affiliates on the phone is never going to be the norm. keep dreaming lol

                      If you want phone calls from affiliate managers signup to casino affiliate programs. You might even get calls while you are sleeping depending on your time zone.

                          I'm with will76. If an affiliate rep actually called me on the phone I'd be pissed.

                                  I can see the argument for both sides of the coin, but as a program owner i'd rather my team spent time on generating new tools, updating, customer service and so on making sure the end product is as good as it can be, quality should be obvious to the affiliate as he probably wouldn't have signed up in the first place.

                                      The problem with calling affiliates is that there are still so many part timers whose family might not know what they are doing. Personal attention is great, but phone calls in this biz are a little excessive.

                                      ICQ/skype/email contact is more standard and accepted.

                                          Affiliate programs should consider having a check box that says something like "I would like to receive periodic calls from a representative".

                                                                                          That being said, I think sponsors used to make a lot more effort with their affiliates also. I used to sign up to programs and get adds on ICQ soon thereafter. Most sponsors are doing pretty well at providing all the tools needed for success, without helping much on the marketing strategy. Different sites/niches have better luck with certain campaigns, or am I incorrect? Would definately help out in my opinion to get a little guidance now and then. It benefits both parties in the end.

                                                                                          I'm just an affiliate and a hobbyist though.

And if you are an affiliate and come to NYC you can always call me up for a drink.

I don't think I have ever had an adult sponsor call me, but with mainstream, I have had reps call either during the approval process, or to chat to let me know I was approved and ask if I need anything.

                                                                                                                          but seriously, i think calling people up randomly is pretty inappropriate. I'm not even a fan of hitting people up randomly on icq. If i recently spoke with a webmaster with a question about a topic and i hear news of something new we are working on i may hit them up occasionally but even then I am pretty cautious not to be bugging our webmasters.

                                                                                                                          who wants to sell a salesman anyway right?

                                                                                                                                      but seriously, i think calling people up randomly is pretty inappropriate. I'm not even a fan of hitting people up randomly on icq. If i recently spoke with a webmaster with a question about a topic and i hear news of something new we are working on i may hit them up occasionally but even then I am pretty cautious not to be bugging our webmasters.

                                                                                                                                      who wants to sell a salesman anyway right?


                                                                                                                                      hit us up and I can talk shop all day, that's what i do!
                                                                                                                                      I'm not too keen on being bothered all the time either. Those of us who push many programs would get annoyed if suddenly nearly every program started calling us regularly on the phone just to chat. Imagine 500 sponsors calling once a week!

                                                                                                                                      I don't mind an email every now and then but don't be offended if I don't reply unless you are demanding it or it's important. It's great to see reps who care and ask every once in a while if there is anything I need though. It also shows that the program is still alive. However, keep it balanced and don't over do it.

                                                                                                                                      You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

Can't tell you how many emails I've sent to affiliate reps that took a couple days to get back or were not answered at all. Now that most of us are doing their email on their phones there is no excuse for that
                                                                                                                                                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

If you can't motivate yourself to make more money on your own then you need to go work for someone else and collect a check each week.

                                                                                                                                                      I want the reps to stay out of my way and leave me alone. On the rare occasion I need them to check if a payment is sent or whatever I will hit them up.

                                                                                                                                                      I don't give a fuck if the company cares or not. Just pay me on time and up hold your end of the bargain.

                                                                                                                                                      It's 2011, I'm not worried about gifts, pat on the back, drinks, calls to tell me good job.... I'm worried about assholes changing their TOS, deciding not to pay people, going out of business, shaving, scamming, etc... If they can just stick to keeping their end of the deal, that is all the love I need them to show me. ...

Works for me and most rep's I've worked with have been friendly and helpful (thanks!).

I'm not a needy webmaster, I know how to send traffic and don't need to be catered to. In fact, calling me would likely mean me going to someone else.

Honestly it doesn't help me sell any better and mostly annoys me when they call. We work online, an email is much preferred.
