Use the Affiliate Manager

Most affiliate programs are managed by an affiliate manager. The job of the affiliate manager is two fold

To help you make money.
To drive profitable sales for the merchant.

The affiliate manager is a gold mine of information. Make sure you tap into that gold mine to get as much info as you need. Good questions to ask the affiliate manager are:

What are your best sellers
Are your sales seasonal and if so what sells best when
Do you have content and images I can use for my site
What special promotions do you have
What target can I reach to get a commission boost

Get to know your affiliate manager, meet up with him/her, chat on the phone, on Net messangers, forums and so forth every chance you get and learn everything you can from them.
