There ARE no "affiliate managers" anymore, just some hack employee who answers emails and tries to help but usually does not. Now with MY Program I could afford to hire a full-time AM but why bother? There are only about ten affiliates worth dealing with these days anyway (ok, maybe 20 tops).
So I am supposed to pay someone FULL-TIME so they can what? Send you banners? Show you where the FHGs are? Help you dump videos to your tube? If you are that lame (as an affiliate) then chances are you won't send sales anyway, right?
I have literally hundreds of affiliates who I contact and try to help with promotions and sales. I just checked - know how many actually send traffic/sales? 23.
Also, affiliates (except for the big ones) are in NO position to demand jack squat these days. The 'demands' I get from affiliates are insane! Can I re-watermark, upload, re-direct traffic, get Mem Area access....sure ok....for 2 sales a month?
Sorry but I work ALL the time and the number ot serious affiliates who contact me for help, advice, special issues, etc is so tiny it makes me wonder what all these people signing on as affiliates (on a DAILY BASIS) are actually doing. So no, no full-time $ waster for me thanks.
