I'm an affiliate as well as an affiliate rep. To me - and to a lot of my peers - they go hand in hand. How can an affiliate rep have any idea what affiliates need if they're not one or have never been one themselves?

I also blog for others, do a lot of design work and a bit of programming as well. I love networking in this industry and getting to know new people. Even if no work is had out of it, there is always the benefit of making a new online friend and sometimes even getting a great link trade going. LOL.

Cool thread.
