Surviving the holiday chaos (affiliate manager edition)
|
Hey Reader, It's December. Which means half your affiliates are promoting everything under the sun like it's the last Black Friday ever... And the other half have completely disappeared. (Are they okay? Did they quit? Are they just binge-watching Hallmark movies?) Meanwhile, you're over here juggling 47 promos, answering panicked Slack messages at 11pm, and discovering that Steve's affiliate link has been broken for THREE DAYS and nobody told you. Steve?!?! C’mon, man. Welcome to the holiday season as an affiliate manager. Look, I get it. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, a lot of companies do 50%+ of their annual sales. That's MASSIVE opportunity. It's also massive chaos. You're dealing with: - Affiliates who "forgot" to mention they're going on vacation during your biggest promo - Creative assets that need to be ready "yesterday" - The affiliate who emails you at 2am asking if they can "still get in on this?" - About 57 to-do's you forgot to write down because your brain gave up three weeks ago I've been there. Heck, I AM there. Right now. As I write this. And that's exactly why I recorded this episode. Because this season doesn't have to destroy you. In fact, if you can stay strategic while everyone else is losing their minds, this could be your best quarter of the year. In this episode, I'm sharing 16 practical things you can do RIGHT NOW to not just survive December, but actually thrive during the madness. This is the survival guide I wish I had during my first holiday season managing affiliate programs. Listen now and save your sanity! Best regards, Matt P.S. If you're reading this at 11pm while answering "just one more" affiliate question... this episode is especially for you. Pour yourself something strong (coffee, wine, whatever gets you through) and listen tomorrow morning. You've got this. CLICK HERE for the survival guide! |
