Default Do Any Outsourced Affiliate Managers work on Straight Commission?

I have Affiliatewiz installed on my web site and plan to run a preliminary affiliate program myself. However, I would love to outsource this whole project to an affiliate manager. I interviewed a few people who were referred an industry leaders but the problem I had is that they just wanted to tap in to the existing affiliates at something like shareasale.com When I checked out shareasale and most of the other places that have a lot of affiliates, I don't see anything ( or very little) of anything to do with real estate investing. Neither the affiliate manager nor the affiliate had a "ready to go" source for potential buyers for my product.

Shouldn't my objective be to hook up with affiliates who already have a large list of people interested in real estate investing as opposed to affiliates who market linens and things?

In real estate, as you know, you pay a commission to the person who brings you a buyer. No commission is paid until the job is done. The listing agent is responsible for doing a lot of marketing to attract attention to the property. I

It seems the job of an affiliate manager is similar - yet some of them expect to be paid $1000 a month PLUS a commission.

Not much of an incentive to get results when you're getting $1000 a month no matter what. I don't care for that plan.

Are there affiliate managers who are paid strictly on RESULTS?

Thanks for the advice.
