How do you do it?
Asking for a raise seems simple enough – hell in Vegas it was as easy as 1, 2, 3 … After working out all those better deals I got back home and set out to get pay raises at all the other programs.
One program has stated they are in negotiations with the casinos. Wouldn’t you think the affiliate programs has their own discretion to utilize in such matters? Is this program that says they are working for me actually being greedy in not wanting to increase my percentage?
How exactly does that side of things work? Feeling like a newbie again :rollover:
That works completely differently from program to program. Some have a ton of discretion and others need to ask about every banner practically.
The size of the program is a general indicator, although sometimes some small ones will have freedom of decision.
It all depends on the character of the casino owner – some are control freaks and some are delegators.
Hey, and that – the networking – is the single most valuable thing you take home from conventions.
I also would think that a lot of the affiliate programs have some discretion / leeway as to when, who, and how much they can provide to affiliates. Maybe that isnt the case with this particular program.
And yes I agree – the one on one meetings are / were the best things at the convention, but they can and do take place outside of the actual conference
The key is production. If you are already producing revenues consistently or are a known performer then you will have no problem asking for and receiving an increased percentage of commission.
I do not work for the base percentage at any program, I dont think any of the more established affiliates do. The amount of increase is subject to your bargaining ability and perceived value to the program. 5 % is a given, 10% can be attained fairly easily also. Once you start seeking 15% or more then you really have to have a proven track record with that group and be an agressive bargainer.
Other concessions such as guaranteed monthly placement fees and/or additional CPA bonuses on top of commission are often available once you are a proven performer. These wont be offered generally, so you will have to ask for them. Let the affiliate manager know that this is being provided by other programs and is one of the factors you consider when deciding who gets prime placements and exposure.
Guys bear in mind that these sort of perks and raises are reserved for affiliates who EARN THE PROGRAMS MONEY. If you do not yet produce commissions of $1500 – $2000 per month with a program on a consistent basis its best not to hit them up for a raise.
This is true in other industryies also. You get a higher commission percentage when you’re one of the top revenue producers.

On the other hand if you’re consistently producing results eg you are a proven commodity – Id think it should be relatively easy to get a raise of 5-10% – especially with programs that already have lower starting percentages.
For an affiliate 5-10% can mean a lot …. Say you make the programs clients $50000 in a month at 25% youd stand to make 12,500 in profits, HOWEVER if you were making 35% youd make 17,500 thats 5,000 more and with just a 5% raise youd of made 2500 more.
If you’ve got an affiliate making you 30-50G a month why wouldn’t you share so-to-speak? If you’re an affiliate in that predicament and getting the raise isn’t coming easy – what do you think?
Obviously the programs all have a different levels of needs as the percentages offered are different from one program to the next regardless of the software.
I think that goes without saying for the most part
Yeah you would think so, but I guarantee you people who arent earning a dime will be writing to affiliate managers asking for a bump in commission once they hear OTHER people are getting more then the minimum.
True.
And even if you are tops, some programs DO have to check with the casinos, depending on what you are asking for.
anybody ever had a deal with Microgaming of more than 35%?
When you bring over 1000 new depositors each month to a program you get whatever you want as long as they don’t lose money on your traffic.
