goodluck dude ;)
Supposedly, CCBill has a list of Sponsor Programss for Affiliates to find Sponsors... not sure if it works both ways,
Thanks for all the laughing at me....I found a company/someone willing to do want I want.
Oh, and in regards to CCBill, they do not offer much help other than setting up an affiliate program
IMHO.....I don't understand why its called an 'affiliate manager'. Why not 'Director of Marketing'. Someone please explain to me exactly what an affiliate manager would do, that I can't do myself. I would much rather hire someone with marketing or research and development experience rather than just a middle man between the affiliates and the webmaster/site manager.
Just my opinion, could be wrong, been wrong before.
when i started with this company, my first job was sitting around the house, cleaning up after the models, cooking them dinner, I hated it. I wanted to do more. I went behind my bosses back one day and started marketing the sites. Sales came in, my boss found out, he gave me a promotion to marketing. I did that. I busted butt. I didn't enjoy it. In the 6 months I've been here I have learned nearly every position on the company aspect. Now I'm a manager. *not an affiliate manager.*Quote:

If everyone quit here in our office today and I stayed, the only way we could make it is if I knew everyones jobs so I could pick up all that slack.
I'm not trying to be rude, trying to give you advise.
It's always good to start the day by reading the comics section.
Great advice!Quote:

Not at all. I thought it was really good advice and true! :DQuote:

I can think of *maybe* 3 affiliate managers that have been with the same company for longer than 5 years and they are VERY good at what they do.

For help, maybe he can PM lisa at badpuppy for some advise. i just thought of that just now. :morning:
The challenge we have legally with the latter is that the affiliates are not affiliates of CCBill, but of our sponsors - so they are not actually our affiliates. Just as if someone uses NATS for their affiliate software, our system is a system.Quote:

Good question I've been asking myself the same thing. I've been doing search marketing for over 10 years and SEO for the last few on my own sites being an affiliate which I think makes for a better Aff manager having been on the other endQuote:

Contact me if you still nid it ! have a lot of expereince
You need someone that is actively seeking affiliates by spending 5 to 6 hours a day contacting potential site owners that can link into your sites.
Google is an affiliate managers best tool in finding new affiliates. Its a full time job hunting and contacting these site owners and talking them into driving their traffic to your product.
Most site owners do not know you exist. I meet affiliates everyday that don't even know there are forums, trade shows, blogs dedicated to adult webmasters. They surely don't know your program is out there. YOU have to find them and once you have them you have to nurture them into great affiliates for your program.
Most programs have 1 in 15 affiliates that send traffic and maybe 1 in 5 of those are sending sales. This is because your affilaite manager is not doing their job effectively or you do not have anyone doing this work. You need to be in contact with these people daily. If your not contacting your affiliates and working directly with them some other program is.
I started as an affiliate and quickly found that I enjoyed helping people.
I was then hired to be the affiliate director of ICS (Now Adult.com) from there I started consulting other companies on how to attract affiliates and was quickly recruited by Lightspeed Media as the VP of Sales and Marketing. We did a lot of great things there in the few years I worked in that company increasing sales many many times over.
Since LightspeedCash I have consulted and done work for many affiliate programs including my own.
Now I own CCBTools a product that allows any size program to provide affilaite tools that are needed in today's market.
I have taught these tactics to many affiliate program owners over the years and they have seen great improvements in their business.
CCBTools Pro Clients get full access to my knowledge and have found it invaluable.
