Affiliate Managers

[JoesHO]

what about compensation? how much should a good affiliate manager make ? how about a new one to a new program?

Do they get paid on incentive basis? or salary?

How long should a program owner pay a salary if they do not produce before they are fired?

I'm way out on a limb here as I do not have sufficient information to answer a lot of those questions, but I do have an opinion.

Affiliate managers should be a salaried position, imho. Perhaps with bonuses or raises as incentive for "performance." Now, as far as "produce," I need that defined. (The affiliate manager would also need that clearly defined.) They perform a service for the affiliates, which should increase/maintain revenue. But that, like so many things, takes time. I think the company would have to realize that and allow sufficient time for the affiliate manager to get into a groove with the work.
