I have felt as if there is even less time to devote to my Experiment of learning which started only a few weeks ago. There are endless lists of ideas accumulating on envelopes, backs of shopping lists, and Store receipts. I think I have just had an epiphany; I never have a good Idea sitting in front of a Computer (that does follow my character come to think of it.) I think most intensely when I am not obliged to. With all seriousness I have gone and placed banners on this blog and on the family site but am beginning to think that 160 x 600 is a bit overpowering for the current space and I am going to need to downsize it. Especially now that the Misses has decided to place a HUGE banner counting down the Days and hours till the movie "Twilight" comes out. It is her latest obsession, one that has taken up a significant amount of real estate.
I have of late in my efforts made contact with a fellow affiliate manager (he actually took the time to contact me first). I find this a pleasant change from the typically blank acceptance response. I know I joined a few of the huge programs first to be semi silent observer of how they do and understand that managing them is undoubtedly time consuming, but those programs also have very thorough acceptance letters with embedded banner code, Cash activation bonuses, detailed ways to communicate with the affiliate Manager and content that reads like a letter just for you. I guess what surprised me was that through a few emails tossed back and forth I was able to tell that the personal contact though brief was a change from the norm for the manager. What a concept that I am not the only affiliate manager who at times feels alone walking London. In these few emails I made sure to ask a few concentrated questions about the program and what has and hasn’t been tried and got a pretty good grasp of expectations and what it would take to make the top 20%. I am a Firm Believer in the 80 / 20 Principal and that is where I am going to try and land in each of these programs. Well enough yapping, It is time to do my best.
