Signing up to be a VC affiliate should always be a win-win situation. But how do you ensure that you retain the same passion you have as a first-time affiliate? Even more importantly, how do you translate that passion into increased affiliate revenue?

Partnering with VC can be compared to starting your own business. It requires many of the same behaviours involved in setting up a free-standing business such as setting yourself goals and finding new ways to measure your achievements.

A large part of being successful in any endeavour is based on individual motivation. What motivates you personally is usually different from what motivates someone else but most in the affiliate business share a common goal, which is of course making money.

Once you have identified what motivates you, you can formulate a business plan or goal that supports your vision for success. Your goals should be as realistic as possible. If you’re a first-time affiliate, try not to set yourself goals that you have little chance of reasonably achieving in short periods of time.  You should be honest with yourself about your capabilities and the other factors that play a part in how quickly you can grow your affiliate business, such as time constraints and other responsibilities and commitments.

The purpose of setting an achievable goal for yourself is to create a way of measuring your success as a VC affiliate. Try to teach yourself positive habits such as keeping regular track of the number of players you refer. This will increase your motivation because you have a clear goal. You can also seek advice from VC’s professional affiliate managers at any stage in your affiliate career.
