Welcome to The Affiliate Manager Weekly Strategist from Affiliate Classroom.

Each week, we discuss an affiliate management strategy and ask you for your input.

This week, our VP of Marketing and 10 year affiliate marketing veteran, Rachel Honoway talks about the importance of networking with other affiliate managers.

GROWING YOUR PEER NETWORK
– Rachel Honoway
***********************

Since launching AC Certified in late November, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with several professionals who are new to the industry.

It’s always fun to hear comments like, “last week I had never heard of affiliate marketing, and now it’s all I can think about!”

I usually finish off my conversations with them by welcoming them to our industry and inviting them to contact me anytime.

I think that the welcoming, open nature of this industry is one of the things that makes it so attractive and so successful.

That being said, it seems that as our industry grows, newer entrants are less and less connected to veterans and to one another.

Maybe they are worried about “bugging” us. Maybe they don’t know that we actually like to share our thoughts and offer help when we can.

Regardless of the reason, the effects of not being well-networked in this close knit group could lead the growing number of new entrants to fail unnecessarily simply because they didn’t take advantage of the extremely generous veteran members of this industry.

Helping them become connected can help veterans ensure that the industry continues moving forward and that the best practices and values that we’ve established are adopted by the future influential industry players.
