You have an AdWords account, but have little to no clue how to manage it effectively. You know you can use this channel to advertize on pay-per-click basis, but you're in no way a professional... There are paid search agencies that can work with you managing your PPC account/budget (within the goals and limits that you set) on an hourly basis... There is another option however: finding a paid search expert who would agree to do the same, but on performance basis. Say, your default affiliate commission level is 40%. Offer them 20% + a PPC budget to work with. I've seen such arrangements work extremely well between paid search experts and merchants... Hope this clarifies things.

I am getting ready to actually do point: "(a) a marketing expert (paid search marketer, SEO specialist, video or mobile marketer, etc) who would be willing to work with you on commission basis." Can you elaborate more please. If I find someone to do SEO, marketing expert, etc. How does the commission work? Would they be paid as they sold each product, like a normal Affiliate or if they help me with SEO, etc. How would I keep up to pay them? Just a little confused. Sorry. Geno,

It is already a task just to attract Affiliates that can perform well(active lists, ppc,etc.) but Super Affiliates are just about impossible to reach as you stated. Thank you for the great idea Geno.

Something very important is to make sure that they know where to find you ( the affiliate manager ) whenever they are in need of anything whatsoever. If any of my affiliates need something, they know they can call me directly and send and email to my personal address and most likely get a response within the day. I also think it's important to familiarize yourself with what your affiliates are doing and how they are promoting your service. This was you can offer informed suggestions and really understand what they are talking about.
