Those programs that i manage that are rev share hardley pay for my time until after 6 months or more IF the merchant waits that long.

I used to charge min $35/hour when i worked with Kowabunga 4 years ago but dont get close to that now.
Time to find merchants that make more so they can pay more :-)

There are B-to-B products in the larger networks, you just have to look hard for them. The managers for larger consumer programs are much better, they actually have useful tips to boost sales.

Shawn,

Thanks for pointing out that experience counts. Today anyone with a merchant account can setup an affiliate program. The large networks will let anyone sign-up if you pay the fees.

It's just a disservice to customers to charge them a bunch of money to setup a program that doesn't produce. I've taken affiliate management like a sales management position, base plus commission override.

Best,

Justin

Just because somebody is an experienced affiliate manager doesn't mean they have experience and connections in your niche.

Thanks for your blog ,it is the only one I hesitate
to pass over when i'm busy,always a useful nugget.

Is there a place or board wher i can post an ad for an affiliate mgr.

Or do you feel that the independent mgrs from shareasale,pepperjam,linkshare etc
do the job just as well and are basically no cost

We are actually waiting for a B-B network to emerge.

As our product is Green and sold to offices.
