When it is wrong to remove affiliates?
- Their website does not get enough traffic.
- They did not meet a quota even though they were trying.
- They are new and have questions.
Do not
get me wrong, most affiliate programs are still doing it right they are treating their affiliates properly. However, I am alarmed with a growing trend of being far too selective. This trend is blocking out the new affiliates and is not fair to the industry.
If you are a new affiliate, contact the affiliate program first and make sure that you will receive the kind of support you need.
If you are an experienced affiliate, understand that the larger the industry gets, the better it is for you. Super affiliates will get paid more as the industry becomes more recognized.
If you are an affiliate manager, my question to you is why does it bother you? It hardly costs .company anything to have an affiliate in their system. So what if the affiliate referred $300 in sales rather than your minimum $500? By relying so heavily on super affiliates you are placing too many eggs in one basket.
Why not work with the beginners, train and help them gain their loyalty and you will truly build a great sales force (a lesson we can learn from network marketing or MLM).
In the end it is the decision of the affiliate manager and th.company. However, The Affiliate Classroom is standing firm on our opinion that new affiliates should be giving a fair chance and never discriminated against.
