Affiliate Manager

I'm looking for a good affiliate manager that will bring a big list of affiliates over to me.

This brings up a good question: how does one become an affiliate manager? What type of career background best lends itself to this kind of job? At first I would guess sales, but does being a good sales person automatically make you good at affiliate sales? Or maybe having a marketing background would be better?

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.*
I suggest to you that you should learn all aspects of your business instead of shooting footage and building your site before you want to hire someone. your new. what if that someone you hire quits and your sales drop. it is going to be a huge shock to you. You should be able to run all aspects of your business before that happens. Just my opinion. That's how I was brought in. 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.

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

The problem with hiring 'out of house' is that most affiliate reps or marketing reps simply cant perform and thus they end up changing the company they work for every 3-6 months.

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.
