Raising Up Solid, High Performing Affiliate Managers
Our Affiliate Management Training and Mentoring program, we call My Affiliate Coach, is a 12 week program designed by JEBCommerce to raise up solid, high performing, innovative affiliate managers. It’s actually the same training program we run each of our employees through! Each student is provided with a workbook and access to our online training modules.
Our exclusive training program is delivered one of two ways:
- Live and On-Demand: Jamie Birch delivers each lesson personally online – live. Each week we walk members through a specific lesson, allow ample time for their questions and our answers and assistance to their unique problems and situations. Members benefit from a fully interactive experience due to live access to Jamie and the coaching team 24/7. Not only is it a comprehensive program, but also it’s customizable to your needs each week as you access our years of experience in affiliate marketing to benefit your program and career.
- On-Demand: All 12 recorded modules are available to you online and at you may complete them at your own pace. You will receive all 12 modules up front, with weekly reminders and bonus modules delivered over 12 weeks. This is the ideal option for someone who wants to go through the course of studies at their own pace.
You choose the method of delivery that works best for you.
I do not know where to begin to thank Jamie & My Affiliate Coach Sessions. The generous nature in which Jamie shares his knowledge is priceless. The 12 week sessions are well planned, very detailed & presented in terms that are easy to comprehend and implement. Having completed the course I have a much better understanding of how to grow & maintain our program from both a management and affiliate perspective. Jamie covered all aspects of affiliate program management with his classes, then made himself available for 1on1 sessions that really helped me put the learning into action. The individual attention was a key factor to not only fully learning the ropes but understanding how I could implement my new skills in my current role. In addition, each class session is recorded & available for future review at any time. Being able to refer back to the sessions at later dates really helps enforce learning & retention. Jamie will teach you to understand, create & implement all your goals at network, program & personal levels. I highly recommend Jamie Birch & the My Affiliate Coach sessions to any Affiliate Program Manager.

“I remember, vaguely, my first few years in affiliate management as a series of less than intelligent, or correct, decisions and actions. It truly was a trial by fire and “learn by doing” type of experience for a number of reasons. First of all, it was my first job out of college and well the interview consisted of two whole questions: “Jamie, can you do this job?” and “How far did you say you drove today?” Seriously…no lie!
It was the dot com boom (near the end). They didn’t know what they were doing and didn’t know what they needed. To say that there was no training program from that organization is an understatement. It wasn’t so much their fault, as we were all really trying to figure out what was what back then. Oh to be back in 1998 and 1999…ahhhh.
This industry was also just being formed as well. Leaders in our field such as Shawn Collins and others were helping ‘newbies’ as much as they could. But the industry and field was young, and I think we all got a little charred as we learned what affiliate marketing was and how we were supposed to manage it.
Times have certainly changed; you no longer have to go it alone. The emergence of the blogging community has truly helped other affiliate managers figure things out much quicker than we did back then. The success of Affiliate Summit (congrats Shawn and Missy) has really driven the industry ahead and brought it the forefront of the online marketing community. And back in August 2010, we announced the addition of what was then the My Affiliate Coach training program for affiliate managers. Now we simply refer to it as theAffiliate Manager Training Program. If you’ve been reading our blog since that time, you’ve seen (and hopefully read) a few posts about the program.
Over the past few months, whether it’s been through a phone call or meetings at conferences, we’ve spoken to many affiliate managers. The most common question that comes up from them is, how does our affiliate manager training program help them avoid mistakes?”
The 12 week training program, accompanied with the helpful Action Guide Workbook, walks affiliate managers (and those aspiring to be Affiliate Managers) through every aspect of affiliate management. It identifies the top mistakes made by most managers and provides methods to employ to avoid them, and identify them before they even happen. Through the use of this professional course work, the result will be a well-qualified affiliate manager capable of managing a program successfully. We use this program with our own staff and feel that it’s a proven, solid training platform that will motivate and equip affiliate program managers with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.”
