Low end starting salary should be no lower than $35k to $40k a year imho with some nice incentives. Being a start up program you will need to find someone that is willing to grow with the company. You can always increase pay but, it is hard to go backwards.

Personally, id pay them the lowest they were willing to accept

If they are willing to put in and more importantly, do the work for $500, pay em $500.

On the subject of KB, even though he appears to be good at what he does, i dont think we would ever hire him to work with us i guess we like to hire people who have a 'history' with companies that last longer than 3-6 months at a time [shrug].

I think you should do a comish as well as a base pay. Some people that have done some good stuff for me in the past I have a feeling are getting a comission, and, they got more traffic.

the average is around $45-60K + 10-12%

some are doing closer to $70K but less % and others are in the $40K range but bigger %

it depends on their duties and if they have any staff they are overseeing...there is also a difference between an affiliate manager and a sales rep, though sometimes they tend to meld into each other a little...

there are also other factors like travel perks, show appearances, etc.

Which one handles fraud control? Rep or manager?
I think Nick is looking for someone to oversee an entire program. Not a board whore or.... send me 50 joins and Ill give you a blow job.

With the dawn of tools like Nats.... that cute tits and ass better be able to crunch numbers as tight as that dildo she rams.

manager
a manager should also know how to run things technical and sales oriented or at least know how to get shit done that needs to be done...

If Nick could get 50 joins a day by hiring someone to give out blowjobs, he'd have an army of hookers on the payroll

I think the job description is also important. In some places with an existing and large affiliate list (yes, I know, you said new program, but I digress), the Affiliate Manager is just that, chief babysitter, in charge of the other affiliate representatives and also in charge of in house education, articles, and forums.

However the Marketing Director would be a different person, in charge of campaigns, promo materials, getting whale accounts. On a brand new program (see, my tangent has come full circle), the two positions could (now maybe they should or maybe they shouldn't) be easily filled by a single person. But if that is done, the plan should be that it be brief (one person) because of (hopefully) quick program growth.

We've got Gabe amd me doing affiliate service, Cory's PR and marketing, and then we have another full time person with a part time (may be full time now though) person doing nothing but fraud. And we also have a product manager who keeps up with all requests for graphics, technical requests, problems, etc.

Finding one person do to everything, unless it's a small operation, would be brutal for everyone involved. IMO.

So...you really need to decide exactly what you're looking to hire and go from there. This is a small enough market where it will dictate what you pay someone. Offer a job at the low end of $XX salary/Commission/whatever and go from there.

I agree and frankly ya know I don't think I'll need one.

If you can get 100 good affiliates (pros ,not dickheads)

Lets say they only average 2 a day.

So you are getting 200 joins a day.

add in the 40 joins a day that won't be tracked , factor in some upsells.....run it easily managable by one hard working dude and maybe 2 partners.

Once established open anhother one...then an other one... lol


ya know...honestly ..affiliate programs...well fair enough..


I am concentrating on garnering traffic rather than buying traffic.

My processing may dump one day.VISA might have a shit fit. All 3rd party processors outlawed by VISA...whatever...

but someone , somewhere will always be willing to pay for traffic.

you get what you pay for ....

with all Kaisers issues, he knew his shit back then and probably made you enough to justify $12k ... $12k a month isn't much compared to how much you were making back then.

what you need is a quick learner with web experience, who you can instruct in the initial weeks to do what you tell them ... you don't need a marketing person as you have yourself, you need a slightly higher end customer support person who understands the basics of how traffic works.

I'm kinda of with the thought you need to spell out duties a little more to qualify salary range

Also other variables such as who has a following and can bring whales or is a whale themselves
