so I been running some offers, reached out to a few AMs, and honestly, most of them just vanish after a couple of messages. Like, you get the info, maybe a promo, then nada. I get it, maybe they busy or whatever, but lowkey it feels like they ghost on purpose. Do you guys think this is normal? Or am I just bad at pitching or being patient? I mean, I hear some people say AMs are key, but if they just ghost, how do you even build a legit relationship? Feels like most of the time they only respond when they want something. Just wondering if I'm missing some secret or if this is how it's just gonna be. Do you guys have any tips on dealing with this ghosting crap?

Ghosted by affiliate managers, am I doing it wrong?

I get it, maybe they busy or whatever, but lowkey it feels like they ghost on purpose. honestly, I've had better luck with tools like Slack or even using a CRM like HubSpot to track outreach so I don't get ghosted. sometimes it's not personal, just flood of messages and they forget. ymmv but a good CRM can help you stay on top of follow-ups and
Honestly, I'd say focus on building rapport outside of just pitching offers. Like, comment on their content, engage genuinely, maybe find common ground before asking for favors. If they ghost after that, it's probably just how they operate, not necessarily you doing it wrong. Don't stress too much on the pitch, work on the relationship first
Trust me, u're not doing it wrong, ur just hitting the usual wall. Affiliate managers are busy and sometimes just ghost, it's not always about ur effort. U gotta read between the lines - sometimes they just don't wanna get involved or are swamped. Keep pushing, build ur own assets, and don't rely too much on them. It's a game of resilience.

yeah, happens all the time, some managers just ghost no matter what. just gotta keep hitting them up, maybe they'll bite eventually. if not, move on and find someone who actually responds.

Yeah, I get it. The truth is a lot of these managers are just buried and not worth chasing if they ghost repeatedly. But the real middle ground is learning when to move on fast and not waste your time chasing shadows. Sometimes it's better to focus on offers or networks with better communication, especially if you're trying to build long-term. It's all about reading the signals and not falling into the trap of thinking you did something wrong. The grind is finding the ones who actually respond and are worth your effort, not just burning out chasing ghosts

Honestly, I've been down that road. Affiliate managers are busy people, and some just don't have the time or interest to reply. Ghosting is sadly part of the game, especially when you're not a big fish yet. If they don't bite after a few attempts, best to move on. Wasting time chasing shadows isn't gonna get you far. Focus on other channels or programs where you get a little more respect and responsiveness. It's not always about you, but about their priorities. Keep grinding, but don't forget to guard your own time and energy.
nah, i think the real issue is some of these guys are just wasting their time. most affiliate managers are busy or just not that into you. chasing them down is like chasing shadows. better focus on building your own traffic and not relying on flaky managers. push traffic is 90 percent bots and garbage anyway, so why waste energy chasing dead ends?

Honestly, no one has a secret formula for this. Some managers are just busy or flaky and chasing them is like trying to catch smoke. Just my two cents, but maybe focus more on building your own traffic and less on waiting for the handouts. The ones who respond and actually work with you tend to be worth more in the long run.
Mantle's right, no secret sauce here. If anyone claims they have a guaranteed formula they're full of it. The game is about resilience and adaptability. Some managers are flaky, some just busy, but that's not your fault. The data tells a different story - build your own traffic, keep testing and don't chase ghosts.
Honestly, calling it "doing it wrong" might be giving too much credit to those flaky managers. If they ghost, it's on them not you. Your job is to control what you can - your traffic, your creatives, your timing. Show me the landers, show me the EPC, not the ghosting. If they're not responsive, move on fast.
I get it, managers are busy, but if you're getting ghosted constantly, maybe it's not just about them being overwhelmed. Sometimes it's about your approach or timing. Keep hitting them up? Sure. But if the same pattern repeats, it might be on you to switch tactics or move on faster. No point chasing shadows if they're not interested
