Hey everybody, I have a couple of very general questions, I'm going to be looking for experienced affiliate marketers but I'm only looking for 5 for now. How do I know what sort of sales I'm looking for from each affiliate? Is it to much to ask, for each of my 5 affiliate marketers to generate 60 sales per day or 420 sales per week?
 


What is the product and market? 60 sales a day shouldn't be difficult depending on the product and market.
 
LOL @ 420

So you have a product you want AMs to sell or what? Why is 5 the magic number?
 
Like penguinbc said, it depends on what you're selling. Different products work best with different methods of promotion, and different methods of promotion have wildly different patterns of results - e-mailers often see results in bursts, PPC people are usually pretty steady, SEO people can take a while to see any results at all, etc.

The whole 5 affiliates and 60 sales/day thing is really weird, too. When you take on affiliates, they're taking all the risk in promoting your product, so most of them are going to resent it if you "require" them to do 60 sales daily to be "lucky enough" to be in your elite affiliate promotional force.

Maybe you have some really great reason that I can't think of, but I don't know why you'd cap your affiliates or require certain performance levels. Why not just open it up to as many ethical affiliates as you or your team can manage, then let them do what they can - but encourage them to do more by offering increasing incentives with performance?
 
Rule No#1 for N00bs : Do not call out the Super Affiliates of WF. Even if the magical number is 5. If Mods see yaa....they take all 5 spots.
