Please explain to me ... 
We can set up the deal so that the affiliate manager is paid directly by CCBill.
That way i cant fire him, i am not able to hold his money, etc
Or his money put onto an escrow, anything that works for the affiliate manager works for me. |

You are thinking too much, you should be working instead of giving me advices on GFY ;)
The only reason why i need an affiliate manager is that i dont have TIME to do the work myself. I will even give the a.m. a list of potential partners to contact and make deals with.
Still looking for someone!
Send me an email on gooo113 @ gmail .c om

Wow, first you make a post that shows your naivete regarding affiliate managers, and then you belittle the guy giving you advice by telling him how long you've been in this business.
Either you're lying about how long you've been around, or you've been sleeping the whole time.
If you were such a player, then you'd be able to afford to pay a decent salary to someone to do this job that you say you "don't have time for".
The fact is, affiliates send their traffic where it makes them the most money.
New programs pop up every day and most affiliates don't pay attention, they have too much other shit to do. So an affiliate manager who has a nice contact list and knows how to find potential whales is very helpful in the beginning.
He's the guy who will get these people to give your program a try. A small test, just to see how you do.
How much of their traffic you ultimately get will depend on how much money you make the affiliate.....but once the affiliate is making money with you, it doesn't matter if the guy who talked him into trying your program is still there or not, all that matters is the $$.
You say "if the guy brings partners in, why would I fire him?"
Well once he's brought the partners in, and making himself 10K a month in commission, and you realize that you could fire him and keep most of that 10K for yourself (because the affiliates won't leave if you fire him, they'll only leave if they stop making good money with your program), you will fire him.
Happens all the damn time.
That's why any rep worth a damn will demand a salary plus commission or bonus. No way they'll work for straight commission unless you're handing them existing accounts worth $XXXX/month when they walk in the door.
TBH, anyone here would be better off writing blog posts on free hosts or spamming TGP's with shitloads of galleries or some shit like that rather than cold calling whales and begging them to send traffic to your CCbill program. At least they'll own the blog posts and galleries forever.
