Building Relationship With Your Affiliate Manager.

You never know how beneficial it can be to build a good relationship with your affiliate manager till you actually do it.

I used to be one of those “talk to me only when needed” type of guys that would contact their affiliate manager for requests only.

The two networks I push the most traffic through I generally get emails or phone calls at least a couple times a week. Building the relationship with my affiliate managers has allowed me to get more information and help with offers above and beyond the call of duty. (Good game by the way – gotta have some fun on a Saturday!)

Just to give you guys examples.

I was running this offer which converted OK but not great. I was making a profit and I had not really optimized it yet. My affiliate manager calls me and say hey man, been looking over your stuff and I realized that we have a new offer that converts a bit better. So without really having to do much (except change a link), I got an instant increase in profits. Sweeeet.

That being said, building a relationship with your manager is a great tool to maximize your profits. It’s sorta like having your own employee working full time to find you the best offers!

There is some importance to who you have as an affiliate manager. Some of them just plain suck. Thankfully EVERY network I have ever asked has allowed me to change if requested. (I’ve got changed in 3 networks before)

Here is my list of affiliate managers… Use them wisely
AzoogleAds – Ryan Sessler. This AM is very dedicated and more importantly is very persistent. He’s grown to be one of the best affiliate managers I’ve had yet.
HydraMedia – Ellie J. – Ellie emails me every day with top performing offers and little fun facts. She has always been super quick to email me even if it’s just to say, “Sure! I’ll get back to you ASAP.” To me just knowing she got the email and is working on my request is amazing and puts me at ease.
CX Digital – Fraser MacLachlan - This guy is a bit of a rock star in the affiliate managers world. Let’s just say he’s an affiliate manager to some of the top performers and there is a reason. He’s aggressive and uses everything he can to help you out. Even before I was signed up to CX Digital (formerly incentaclick), he talked to me about some stuff. Impressive.

The other networks I am still working on building a relationship with.
