Affiliate Managers at CPA Networks
When you join a CPA network, you will be assigned an affiliate manager, who is sometimes referred to as an account manager. Affiliate managers represent a group of affiliates and they are your point of contact if you have any questions about the network or CPA offers at the network. Your affiliate manager is a great resource because they know all the details about the CPA offers on their network and they know which offers are converting well and which ones aren’t. They have access to a wide range of information and data from all the affiliate’s campaigns, and therefore it’s very important to get to know your affiliate manager and begin a good relationship with them right from day one.
What we normally suggest is to give your affiliate manager a call, text, or instant message as soon as you get accepted to the CPA network. Let them know you just joined their network and wanted to reach out to say hello and introduce yourself. This will get your relationship off to a good start.
I would also suggest communicating with them on a weekly basis to keep communication open and to keep your name in their memory. Remember, your affiliate manager can help you tremendously and if you have a good relationship they may divulge some pretty powerful information or let you promote ‘private’ CPA offers, which aren’t available to the general public. If they become comfortable with you, they can also be more lenient on the rules of the CPA offers.
Your affiliate manager is your ally and a phenomenal resource. Now, let’s move on to the actual application process so you can start applying to networks and getting access to CPA offers!
