I'd like to know some stories how they started their own Affiliate Network. How did you get the idea... how did you raise the money to start one... etc.
 


Take everyone's advice from the last thread. Obviously 9 months as an Account Executive didn't give you the experience you need to start your own affiliate network.

If you have so much experience with "complex Paid Search / PPC campaigns," put it to work and build some capital while gaining a better understanding for how these relationships actually work.

Started it with guys I worked with online. A lot and I do mean a lot of 100+ hour weeks. Got the idea from being dicked over and figuring if I was already managing advertising and campaigns for corporate companies, why not give it a shot with Affiliate Marketers.

I raised the money by being a publisher. My guys raised their money from being publishers. I keep the cashflow going by acquiring strategic terms that wont allow me to bite off more than I can chew.
 
A lot of networks don't make bank untill the founder's death, usually a suicide.

This brings in HUGE publicity for the network, you may want to consider it.
