I have heard a lot about C2M in my time as a marketer. Good stuff obviously. Yet there's one thing I don't get - C2M makes a point of saying that they don't run anything as affiliates internally. While that makes sense in removing the potential conflict of interest between them and their actual affiliates, doesn't it also stunt their ability to help when it comes to giving promotion advice?

I've worked with EWA for a long time and as we all know Eagle and crew are still working as affiliates themselves. But in this case I'd happily endorse that because they constantly give out fantastic advice on new traffic sources, offer promotion tips and so on. Before I joined EWA I worked with lots of bullshit networks - you know the corporate kind that hire female AMs just for the heck of it, and once you start talking them you'll realize they have no fucking clue about anything other than pulling network EPCs off their Excel sheets.

So, based on this, I don't get the big draw about C2M. I realize Ruck was a bigtime affiliate once, and I'm sure he has lots of experience to share, but with a market changing so quickly, what gives? If they don't promote themselves, what elevates them beyond other networks whose level of support consists of telling you about the latest "hot offers"?

What makes C2M so good?
 


Ok. There are hundreds of other large networks out there in the same position, why do you feel the need to single out C2M? I love having an affiliate manager that stays out of my way until I have something useful to communicate with them. I'm sure they are just as much in the loop and hopefully putting that extra time into locking down other things like fraud. I'd much rather have my affiliate network tracking down new offers than finding ways to make money affiliate marketing - That's my job.

If you're really that stressed out: get all your information about new offers, promotion tips from EWA and implement it on similiar offers with C2M.
 
Like crisis said it shouldn't be your networks job to tell you what to promote, and how to promote it. You should be the one actively searching, and finding this info and C2M will be there when you want to get a special offer or need knowledge on a certain offer.

And like Riley said - just because they don't run campaigns on their own network doesn't mean they don't run any campaigns period.
 
EWA and C2M are both good... why worry as long as you're making revenue? There is really no comparison or good/worse between either of them.

This is not allowed afaik. What happens in EWA stays in EWA...
 
Both C2M and EWA are good. Just because you aren't running offers doesn't mean you don't know how to or what is converting.
 
why would anyone want to run with a network that prides itself on being run by affiliates - essentially other competitors who may or may not copy your stuff and share it with other affiliates. The less the am's know the better - they just need to know certain things and let the affiliates do their thing. Who wants to have another acai, biz-op, flog, FTC cluster fuck again?
 
While the thread was started about C2M, a good point comes out of it. A network can't please all affiliates all the time.

Some affiliates:
- want their network to run their own internal stuff so they can provide insights
- don't want their network to compete for fear of having their IP stolen
- want to be contacted regularly by their network
- never want to be contacted by their network
- want their network to act professionally
- want their network to be pimps
- want their network to help out with their business
- want their network to keep their noses of their business

Makes it tough, but certainly makes it interesting. :)

This thread is fucking retarded, I think Ruck and his Crew seem like approchable,helpful guys. I've never really done business with them.
But I will probably in the future because of their general attitude

This stuff about people running offers is fucking gay, there is 100k affiliates out there. Who cares if they're in the back office of a network.
I don't care who is running campaigns where, as long as I get paid on time.
