Am I Wrong Teaching Affiliates to Market?
So how do you run your affiliate campaigns? Do you spend your time teaching, attracting or both? Are either of these activies the wrong way to do things?
I spend much of my time creating content to help the affiliates, such as premade emails, creating a list of keywords (a quite extensive fine tuned list mind you), a newsletter with 13 autoresponder emails and I speak to all my affiliates at least once on a 1 to 1 basis to discuss their marketing methods. Sometimes I even go into helping them build their site traffic in order to eventually sell more of my product.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Are there enough fish in the sea that I should be more focused on getting the pros instead of bringing the amateurs up a notch?
I mean no disrespect to my affiliates, many of them were already super affiliates or have gone from amateurs to rather good ones in a small amount of time, but that's not to say my methods were the best route to success.
What's your experience with gathering affiliates? Is there an 80/20 approach to this? Attracting = 80%, Teaching = 20%? Reverse?
Thanks!
