I receive the this question all the time. What are the responsibilities of an Affiliate Manager?
- Recruiting new Affiliates
- Motivation of Affiliates
- Building Affiliate relationships
- Creating Affiliate promotions and incentives
- Supporting Affiliates, whether it be technical support or any other advice that is asked
- Improving the Affiliate program and keeping Affiliates aware of changes
- Keeping an open line of communication with Affiliates.
- Tracking Affiliate sales
- Guarding against fraud
- Updating Data Feeds
- Paying Affiliates
- Affiliate Newsletters
- Creating or identifying Affiliate Tools

This is a great list. It is also an excellent one for beginners so they can have an idea of what to do in terms of marketing.
