Affiliate Reps that have truly helped you?
 

Yesterday, Sarah Jayne and I were discussing the reps from back in the day
who actually took the time to teach us how this business works, when we first
started and knew damn-near nothing about traffic. This came about after I spent
a good 30 minutes, teaching one of my affiliates how to optimize his media buys.
[ He has given me permission to post his numbers as he progresses! ]

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.

Mario from paper street cash is pretty fucking awesome

I remember helping of my clients with scripts and better html practices. Helping them placing upsells better. I could name a couple people I went to their homes for a sit down. Being a rep is one thing, but being an Affiliate rep that is also an Affiliate, you know a little more and I love to help out people when I can.

The most helpful, workable reps we work with are
leroy from dti
the grooby crew, telly and seanchai

both are in the sig.:winkwink:

9/10 dont do shit for you, here's your link and promotools and have fun

one company that deserves a very good word is Crakrevenue. no question is dumb enough for them to anwser, and the employees will always take their time to explain and give tips how to convert.

Daniel from Webcams.com

Georgey from JuicyBucks (wow, holy blast from the past) really helped me a ton. I made a good amount of money from them... when they paid

Sly or Nadya from Topbucks were the best support ever, sincere and straight to the point answers, no drama

Yeah Nadya is legendary,i really dont understood why they let her go.But sly is good as well.

Itchy from sextronix is awesome by far one of the best reps I have ever dealt with for sure

Naughtyrob

I don't need anyone to hold my hand but scott from naughty america + the mofos guys are always very helpful

Agreed. Topbucks always had really good support!





.

Funny you say that when i remember shitload of threads here how their support sucks hard ass :upsidedow .I guess you are one of the lucky people.

1 aff manager did do some trouble for me in 2004. I owe him a lot. He is now higher up and has a good life. It proves to me he loves his work. his advice brought me huge advantage in working online. Thanks I.P

Sly, _Richard_, etc. There are a lot of them who are very willing to help out.

Thats awesome, right there. When someone has a passion for
helping people, you can tell. I friggin LOVE that!
:thumbsup

Rope showing when I was brand spanking new = Rowdy from CE.

Getting things done/solved/allowed = SteveG from Vivid, Michal (sp?) from communicon/2ndnamechange/orgycash.

Most of the people that really helped me learn what I was doing were TGP and link list owners. Off the top of my head - Tam, Lisa Marie (used to run Go Postal and a bunch more TGPs), Shemp, Greenguy and JJJ.

As I moved into the support side, there are folks that I have always had good experiences with on a b2b level. Sam from Mr. Skin is the first person that just jumped into my head.

:helpme:helpme:(:(

Lots of good ones! The ones that are not good are no longer around.

duuuuuuude

i learned so much from that guy.. i wonder how him and his wife are doing

:thumbsup:thumbsup <3

I know I've helped and been helped by many.. Hope to continue that in the future..

A few come to mind:
NaughtyRob
Assorted folks from MOFOS / BRAZZERS
Selena MET-ART
James from Digital Playground
I am sure there are more
{Jill who was w/ PlayboyPlus}

Thanks for the kind words Captain Kawaii!

When I started in this biz.. Silver Cash Albert spent a few hours with me :)

Then all the guys @ Greenguys Board really help me out. Weekend radio shows with MML too

R.I.P MML!!

Wizzzooooooooooooo

Thanks man, much appreciated.

Sly from Topbucks, Sherm from Duke Dollars and William from Nasty Dollars!

yeah one of the very nicest guys I've ever 'met' in my life, let alone in the biz. I often, even now, look at some of the shit I post when in 'gfy mode' and think to myself 'man, I need to conduct myself more like Rowdy *always* did'. True class act :thumbsup

Hit Man WMS.

I have never really had much if anything to do with affiliate managers. The only one who springs to mind is Shirley, she is extremely helpful - she gets shit done - no ifs or buts.

As an affiliate myself, I take this very seriously and your words are very appreciated.

My first affiliate rep was Biggy (now Fuckyoucash owner) and he is still today one of the guy that i like to talk on a regular basis.

Laura-Lee, Wizzo, Amy and Adam from Cecash are the ones who truely inspired me in how to devlop our support.

Thx again

There was tons of others over the years that made a lot more then sending me links and smilies.

I hope my guys will become legends like the ones named in here.

yea, i absolutely agree :1orglaugh

thanks :thumbsup

Terry when he was with kink.com mucho respect, even sent me t-shirt in 2008 to the other side of planet.

Dennis from AWE.

Daiana and Oren from Pussy Cash recently.

:thumbsup

BTW, if you know your shit, you won't need your reps too often.

:winkwink: I'm well aware of my downsides lol :thumbsup

Ralph from Score, Enrique from DDF, Pat from Playboy, Scuba Steve from Bangbros, Nadya from Topbucks, all are fucking awesome, and should have their crotches made out with, relentlessly, imho!

more referring to myself but we all have room for improvement :1orglaugh

Props to Ralph from Get Score Cash, Jim from ThickCash and John from Blazing Bucks

Nice thread!! I noticed by helping someone it also makes YOU feel good for some reason....I am new to this whole affiliate biz and could definitely need a mentor to walk me though the process of successful affiliate online marketing..Now I feel I don't know where to start...so if.any one wants to show me their working methodology I would be truly grateful. ? I am a quick learner..icq me at nickname woodo Regards, j

He was not really a mentor as such - But Sagi was a great rep.

Nothing was too much trouble...

AJ formerly of Loaded Cash is awesome. Always helpful and never hesitated to offer some clever suggestions to draw traffic to my sites....

Michael from PartnerCash goes above and beyond the call of duty, he rocks!
Oren and Daiana from Pussycash/ImLive are amazing
Fabrice was a superstar both at AFF and at Cupid
All of the team at AFF have always been there to help me and hold my hand
Nick Baauw taught me how to be an affiliate in the adult industry

I teach affiliates every day how to be an affiliate and how to test traffic and optimize. I don't get impatient because I remember all the patience and kindness everyone has shown and still shows me.

Sarah I have to agree with you [while I laugh at all the players that need to blow their own horn cuz no one else will]. It was the fellow webmasters from the early days that were an inspiration to me. Greenguy, JJJ's ,Shemp and Tommy from Tommys Bookmarks were always cordial back in the day when they really didnt need to. Not affiliate reps.

MML was always a big help in looking at things in the days on Picpost and TGP.
But I will have to say the most helpful guy back in the day for many of us wasnt an affiliate rep at all. And he taught many of us how to build banners and links that not only drew clicks but converted.

Andy Dunn wrote that sexswap newsletter each week for a few years and it was a great read. I got more information and tips from that short email in those days than from any affiliate rep or the magazines for that matter.

And after that I consider frequenting Oprano before I bought it or managed it as graduate studies.

The most helpful reps I have seen working with affiliates are also the ones I have had the pleasure of working with in the past 10 years at AEBN. I thanked Erin every day I saw here when I was working in Charlotte for being persistant to get me to sign up and build a custom theatre.

And I would be remiss if I didnt mention the hardest working affiliate manager in the business that works for Kennys Pennies and that would be Spaz. Hes has run pay and free sites as well as produced content which qualifies him to be called the whole damn show.

I just havent worked with many reps in the past as the conversation usually started out with reps saying..."How do I get you to send more traffic?"

I call that panhandling not being helpful.

Oh wow! Thanks Fitz - such kind words - it's always a pleasure to work with you!

And now I get the pleasure of working WITH Selena at MetArt :)

Selena is absolutely amazing, don't know what we would do without her! She is unbelievably bright, witty, hard-working and driven. She goes above and beyond the highest expectations to ensure our affiliates are getting everything needed - including education & resources - to be as productive and profitable as possible. She is truly an asset and I'm so glad to see her recognized - she deserves it!

Yes Biggy - forgot about him, I was amazed at how much time he had for everyone. Always replied whether it was melissa or FYC related.

AJ former head AM at Loadedcash. Best AM I've ever worked with. Miss him there dearly.

I honestly feel so happy when I am able to help people and even more satisfied when the things work out for them. Affiliate managers like Wizzo,Oren,Nadya, Crakmedia team are a great example of dedicated work :)

Same here. Fellow webmasters in the early day's were a gold mine. Andy like you mentioned, Greenie, Tommy, Bill(PMB), Anthony, Nickatilynx, Voltar, Shooter, Wolfshade. To drop a few names :)

If we've switched to fellow webmasters I'll be here all day making a list :)
