The Affiliate Marketing Podcast
Performance with Purpose: The Next Era of Affiliate Marketing
In this essential episode, we sit down with Florin Simovici, CEO of TrafficManager and author of the industry's most comprehensive guide to building and managing affiliate programs. With 15 years of experience across multiple verticals—from iGaming to e-commerce—Florin shares the hard-won lessons that separate scaling programs from struggling ones.
Florin pulls back the curtain on what actually drives sustainable growth, revealing why most networks fail before they even begin and how the industry's smartest operators are positioning themselves for the seismic shifts ahead.
Whether you're managing your first program or your fiftieth, this episode will challenge your assumptions and equip you with actionable strategies to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
Talking points include:
- Why 80% of your revenue comes from just 20% of your affiliates—and how to structure your team accordingly
- The critical onboarding mistakes that doom new networks from day one
- How AI is fundamentally reshaping affiliate marketing (and why you need to start preparing now)
Listen to find out more about:
- How to identify and protect the core affiliates who drive your network's growth
- The automation tools that free affiliate managers from repetitive tasks so they can focus on relationships
- The emerging "waves" in affiliate marketing—and how to position yourself to ride them rather than get swept away
