Do you let your VA access your affiliate account ?
Hi there.
I recently hired 2 filipino VA's who are niche site builders.
So far its working well and they make nice sites for me after i trained them for 2 month.

I have to give them access to all my accounts, like Amazon-affiliates, Cj, EPN, etc...
Also to godaddy.
Other wise they can't work by themself which is why i employ them.

Right now its ok, because i dont make BIG money in these account, so im not worried.

But what about when i start to make 10k a month in the future ? how can i protect my money and still give them access to my account so then my business can grow on autopilot ? any suggestion?

Is there a way i can give them limited access, like the ability to get the links, but not the ability to change name, payment method and other risky stuff.

Thanks!!

    It's all about trust.

    So if you have no trust on your va's you must do your work alone. I think you work together for approximately 2 months? Right? I think that long, they deserve your trust already.

    I often come across trust issues when dealing with freelancers on my affiliate sites. It is only natural to be worried about other people potentially messing with your site income. I'd probably be too paranoid to give full access to my affiliate accounts though. Although there are plenty of scammers out there, they probably usually aren't the ones doing reliable VA work. So it probably isn't much of a risk. Still, I would look into somehow setting up your own interface outside of the affiliate accounts.

      If you want to grow your business you'll have to give people access to your accounts.

      You can do it selectively and temporary though.

      • First thing is to have separate passwords for all accounts.
      • Next only give each person the exact accounts he/she really needs to work with.
      • Once a person leaves, change the passwords for those accounts.
      Some sites and services allow to create individual accounts for your workforce. For example with web hosting you can setup separate FTP logins for every person working for you. If one person leaves, you just disable the specific FTP login, without having to update your complete network.

        I personally do most of the work myself - from setting up the blog to sales funnels, to managing accounts.

        I had to learn the hard way when I started out, but I can usually get stuff working the way I want. If a problem is taking me too long to figure out, then I'll hand it off to one of my guys.

        Be smart about time management as well as who you trust with what accounts. I always recommend learning how to do something yourself at least once, so when I explain what I want done, it's instructed clearly and we don't have to go back and forth 30 times to fix something

    Trust is the best key here. You worked with your two VA's and i think they deserved to gain trust from you. If you don't trust them you better work it for yourself.
