Hiring Affiliate Managers - What's their Role and Percentage Share Of Sales?
Has anyone here hired an affiliate manager before?
As the job title says, its fairly obvious their role is to recruit more affiliates for you.
But is there anything else they do as part of your agreement.
Also, more importantly, what percentage do you give them and how is it calculated?
What I have in my mind is, IF they are the ones getting the affiliates in, via their own special splash page to collect emails from to give the affiliates more content to use, etc, they could be tracked to see which affiliate made a sale of which your affiliate manager recruited from his trackable affiliates sign up page.
What ever percentage is given to the affiliate. What is left over after processing fees from the merchant that handles your sales and affiliate commission processing, 50% of what is left goes to the affiliate manager.
Is that fair? Reasonable?
Some others I have spoken to said they want 50% of everything, regardless if they recruited the sale or not.
Personally I can't see why anyone would want to give up 50% of their business.
Cheers for your feedback.
