We operate an ecommerce web site that is modestly successfull [[login to view URL]][1]. We have limited technical knowledge and little time to devote to online promotions. An affiliate program has been launched through [[login to view URL]][2]. This program needs to be professionally managed. Affiliate management services are available from a variety of companies recommended by ShareAsale. All are _very_ expensive. We need someone familiar with affilliate programs and online marketing generally, to help us design, implement and manage our programs. The services could be one-time or long term based on a monthy service fee or percentage of sales. (Monthly costs of $100 to $200. or 1% to 3% of sales.) The specific services required are those described by other affilliate managment companies. For details see: <[login to view URL]> (scroll down to **Professional Out-Sourced Program Management) ** We are looking for experience and credentials. Excellent communication skills in English is essential. Programming and database skills (for upgrading the web site) would be beneficial but not necessary. The ideal candidate would eventually be able to take responsibility for all aspects of online marketing, promotion and web development. We are not looking for a technician. This is fundamentally a sales job. The role will be marketing and promotion. The job requires someone with business savvy and a professional marketing focus - not just technical knowledge. If you are experienced and enthusiastic please reply. If you know someone who is 'perfect' for the job - tell them. ## Deliverables Launching and running a successful affiliate program is a time consuming experience with a sharp learning curve and a lot of unwanted aggravation, using up time that is better spent on the core day to day issues of running a retail business.
