Affiliate Marketing Bottlewasher?
For the record, I have to state that I have never seen Miller wash a bottle. His wife can probably verify that he has at some point. Of course, I am not in Centurion, South Africa all that often so I might have missed it.
What I have seen Miller do is come up with some dynamite “outside the box” strategies for making a program work that I might have thought was a dead end.
I am a big fan of creativity, especially in an industry or vertical marketplace where it may seem that affiliate programs are saturated or played out. In the month and a half that I have been on board, I’ve been impressed with the creativity and wit of the team we’ve put together here. Forge has a fun bunch of folks on board- and most important- everyone that I have met on the operations side are genuinely interested and driven to make programs go.
I think one of the strengths here is that everyone is incentivized and knows how they fit into the master plan. It’s a refreshing thing to see.
Off to find some merchants in need of a boost for their programs.
Happy Monday!

Now Wade - I consider myself more of a metaphorical bottle washer. It’s true that I do outsource most of the actual physical bottle washing to our housekeeper but I’m sure that I have at some point actually washed a bottle. I must have - I have two beautiful daughters and I know that somewhere, somehow, I was tricked into actually washing their bottles
Actually I was going to be smart and find a picture of me washing bottles - but after hours of trawling I admit I could not find one
Lee laughed derisively when I asked her if she had one. She said that the “next time” she saw me washing a bottle she’d be sure to alert the press….. I think she may have been a tad sarcastic.

I would have been impressed if your post simply contained a picture of you washing a bottle.
We’ll have to set her up with an account here so she can break that news when it comes up.
