My good friend Stu Mclaren introduced and trained me to be an affiliate manager in 2005. When ever I am at an event people often ask me, what specifically does a affiliate manger do?

I share the following…
Affiliate management can be divided into 3 area:
1. Recruit
2. Train
3. Motivate

Affiliates are the life blood for many marketers businesses.

An affiliate manager is always on the lookout for new quality affiliates they can recruit. Bringing on 3-5 new affilates a month can have huge financial rewards by the end of the year.

Training and providing new tools for affiliates is also extremely important for any affiliate program.

Keeping affiliates motivated is critical to the success of every affiliate program. One of the ways to keep affiliates engaged and motivated is to hold a monthy contest or special promotion.

Depending on the specific affiliate program, there are many other activities that a affiliate manager may do on a daily basis.

Once again, the core activities for an affiate manager include Recruiting, Traning and keeping them Motivated…

Does Your Affiliate Marketing Tool Center Bite?

I’m not talking newbie marketers, I’m talking guru marketers…Marketers that you know, love and read about everyday!

Yes, some of them make big money on the big JV launches. However, I guarantee none of those JV partners went through the affiliate center signup process and got the promo tools on there own. They have a JV manager send them a pre-written email with their affiliate link already embeded in the message. That’s a good thing…

But…You may be thinking, if they make a million dollars on a launch who cares? No doubt a major launch with significant JV partners can generate fantastic profits. It’s a one time event. This is short term thinking…

The purpose of a well thought out affiliate program can and should be to generate a consistent flow of traffic and sales month after month. Think about it…Affiliates send you FREE traffic! It doesn’t get better than that. Plus, you only pay your affiliates when they generate a sale!

I owe my Thanks to Stu Mclaren of Wish List Products for introducing  and training me as an Affiliate Manager in 2006. I was part of his beta program called Affiliate Inferno.

Since then, some of my clients have included Mark Victor Hansen, Robert G. Allen, Jay Abraham, Stu Mclaren, and most recently Armand Morin for his Brave The Wave program…

Having worked with some of the bigger marketers in the industry, I have seen and or created what goes into a quality Affiliate Marketing Tool Center.

If you are in it for the long haul, take the time to create quality affiliate tool center created. You’ll be glad you did!

Have a Great Day,
