One of the biggest issues that Affiliate Managers noted over and over at our 1-day Affiliate Manager Workshop this past February was dealing with “time sucking” affiliates.

What are time sucking affiliates?

You know… the guy that writes you every day to ask you why he hasn’t made any sales yet. Or, the woman that calls and IMs begging you to “just show me how to do it, and I’ll be your best affiliate ever!” Neither of which is producing for you.

From writing nice email responses to placating a long-winded caller to writing help guides and training emails - Affiliate Managers admitted to:

1 - Spending FAR too much time on these non-performing affiliates

2 - Not knowing how to say “no”

Fortunately, there is a place where you can point these time-suckers that will allow you nicely tell them “no, I don’t provide this training - but I know of a great resource that you should try”.

New affiliate training for $1.00

Yep, for just $1.00 your newbie affiliates can get access to Affiliate Classroom’s library of step-by-step training materials. If they want to stick around and continue taking advantage of the continually-updated course, they can for $29.97/month - plus, we’ll give you a kick-back on that. So, not only will you be freeing up your time and creating knowledgeable (and hopefully profitable!) affiliates, but you could be making a few extra dollars on side.
