negotiating a better deal from a sponsor
>Before you start trying to negotiate, be sure you are really doing some good numbers.
That is #1 - show them the money. If you aren't sending super affiliate traffic/conversions, don't ask for super affiliate deals.
Building that relationship can help, and you do get good inside info out of it sometimes. However, I usually don't have time to cultivate this - I have too much other, more pressing stuff to do.
When I feel like I should be making more because of top traffic, top conversions, or I just get that feeling - I fire off an email and ask what can we do to improve the relationship. Try not to come off as, "hey, I need more $$$!" Work it, baby.
Also, when you have another merchant that offers you a better deal, tell the program you use before you leave them - they sometimes come back with a better deal than the new merchant. You can play them against each other just as you can in the bricks world when you get a better job offer.
Super affiliates are hard to come by, the smarter companies will realize they need to do whatever they can to retain them.
>I emailed them saying "hello ... I am here.....can you help me".
Affiliate managers don't usually have a lot to offer a super affiliate. If they knew enough to be able to help us, they probably wouldn't need us. What they often do have to offer, is inside industry info, and a good view of some real world data. They don't always know the value in this, or that it could help you, so you have to ask specific questions.
