Why should affiliates share their contact info?
By Jamie Birch
Recently I had a discussion with my fellow panelists on our Pubcon panel and this issue was brought up. One thing we all agreed on, and I want to stress here is that our top producing affiliates, overwhelmingly, are those that we have long standing relationships with. Those that we know their phone numbers, their emails, their IM's. This is from a group of individuals that I would say have experience managing over 100 programs (total guess, I know I've managed over 35 myself).
