People dont forget stuff like that. I know I dont forget the people who taught me.
Sometimes, you learn from just watching your favorites do their thing.

Have you contacted an Affiliate Manager who held your hand, walked you through
or taught you something valuable that helped your conversions?

Do tell.
Yes.

He gave me a job, showed me the ropes of network building, traffic gen, promotion, SEO best practices and of course how to spoon and do the reach-around AT THE SAME TIME! Then I dicked off into big box high-volume retail.
