Excellent article! Even though I’m still pretty new to affiliate marketing, I can already relate to this.

When can we expect a part 2?

Bryn,
Man, I think you’ve nailed it on the head. I just recently got into CPA, and I have had 2 managers at Clickbooth. The first one was awesome. He gave me tips and tricks and told me what converted well and why.

My new manager is a total weasel. “acia, colon, and biz opps are doing the big volume right now.” Blah. I’d like to promote something I actually believe in thank you very much!

I’m looking forward to reading part 2

When I first started as an AM there were far too many affiliates that were quick to write off a newbie AM. Although I didn’t have previous experience I was willing to ask our veteran AM’s the right questions. Even though it’s unfortunate to be handed off to a new, unexperienced AM don’t be too quick to assume they won’t be beneficial to you. The most important thing to look for in an account manager is their ability to find answers quickly. Since starting a year ago I’ve since had affiliates admit they were wrong to ignore me at first. There is a difference between a Bimbo and a newbie AM willing to learn.

Great now I feel like crap but that just validates my feeling about how hard it is to trust anyone in this business. If you don’t mind could you email me who it was so I know I’m not working with them?

Exactly. Try a certain company out of las vegas, who hides the office location by putting a fake addy on all business materials, that way when they have someone try to go after them it will take a lawyer 2 times the effort (and 2 times your money spent) to find them.

Its funny when you try to find a office location and the addy is not even real and you are looking at a grocery store.
