I really appreciate her lighthearted approach to difficult situations, this makes everything work so much smoother. It also gives those who work with and under her the incentive to go the extra mile to make things work, which is the highest compliment I can give someone!

Michelle brought nothing but enthusiasm, excitement, and unmatchable service to the clients that we managed. She went above and beyond to really get to know each client and service them in the best way possible, understand their unique goals and KPIs, and deliver the best solutions to ramp-up their affiliate programs.

  • Can't say enough about Michelle! She's kind, cares about her clients, organized, and ready to fight for the best overall outcome in any scenario. She thinks strategically but also applies a very human aspect to her work where you feel more like a friend/partner than just a business client. Her knowledge and positive attitude bring such joy and success to the workplace!

  • Michelle was an absolute delight to work with, addressed all our concerns and connected us with the right people to rapidly respond to our queries. I remember her pleasant demeanor and always looked forward to our conversations which took place remotely as we were based on opposite sides of the Pacific. Our initial foray into the affiliate space was made much smoother with her guiding us through the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In general terms – affiliate marketing is a form of advertising in which a publisher (also called an affiliate or partner) earns a commission for converting a sale (transaction) on their site. Online retailers, services and businesses use this form of advertising because they only have to pay the publisher when the sale is made. If there are no sales, then they do not have to pay a commission.
