I know an easy way to make more money from a campaign is to ask your AM for a payout bump.
What volume would you say would be enough to ask for a pay bump?

Say I'm doing 100 zip submits a day @ $1.20 each for a network. Is this enough to ask for an increase to $1.25 or $1.30?

Yeah, never hurts to ask, Also you should build a relationship with your affiliate manager.
 
you could always ask your am to run a report on the quality of traffic your sending to advertisers. this could go well and get you a pay bump, or your quality could be crap and get a pay decrease...gotta be careful, but it never hurts to ask.
 
def ask from the beginning. Its not like they are going to say "because you asked us for an increase we are decreasing your payout"
 
The first day I try an offer, after I get between 10-20 leads, I'll ask for a pay increase. I just say I think I can do well with the offer and ask what they can do for me. The good thing about asking for an increase the first day you promote it is that the increase will affect the leads you already got (from what I've seen). So if you had 100 leads already and were making $1.25 then you got increased to $1.35, your $125 commission for the offer that day should update to $135.

And just remember, it never hurts to ask. :)
 
In fairness to the networks, I never expect a bump until I've at least proven myself on the particular offer. Prove that you can drive 100+ leads x 7 days...and they will usually bump with no questions asked. During the 7 days you're also proving your traffic quality to the advertiser which, at the end of the day, is more important than the network. No complaints from the advertiser and everyone is happy.
 
i ALWAYS ask before i promote an offer. if ur AM is good and u have a relationship with him/ her, it should get done. Then after u start driving some traffic, ask for another bump and sayit will help you up your bids a little and increase vollume..

But keep in mind the margins on submits are pretty low, so don't expect bumps more than 15-20 cents total, and thats on the high side...

QFT x 100

At this point my AM just GIVES me the payout increase before I even run it. If you drive good quality traffic and have a relationship it's a no-brainer.
 
before you start ask your AM for the most they can give you, if you receive a good amount of volume (I'd say 250+ leads) in the first week to two weeks ask again. the key here is to let your AM know you have the ability to drive more traffic if you get a pay increase. diorex had a great post about this, unfortunetly the blog is down. search for it on wf though, someone posted archives.
 
I ask before running it.. Then ask again after a week or 2 of running it.. & atleast once a month from there.

I've had payouts double over the span of a few months from keeping a constant eye on the back end values.. Always keep a close relationship with your AM so you can do this
 
I ask for a raise before running. Get decent volume going & switch to another affiliate network. Ask my AM if they can beat their EPC and play them against each other. Also, You should also ask after you hit certain big numbers. 100/1000 leads you get the point.
 
how can one network beat anothers EPC? Wouldnt that be based on the affiliates themselves???

Only a moron compares offers by payout. They should be compared by running 2 offers and finding out the EPC. once you find that out you figure out what kinda pay increase you need in order to match the epc. This is how it happens in the real world. Not in ebooks.

Your response to what i wrote doesn't even make sense.

You wrote "Ask my AM if they can beat their EPC"

Shouldnt you be asking yourself which network can beat anothers EPC after you try the offer on different networks yourself?
