AMs know what works, but they can't build a site because of the conflict of interest. You may luck out and he'll say "Yes! I've always wanted to build a site for our coasters, I have a great idea... it's yours!"

Conversely, and this happened to me, they may say We're gonna be deleting the coasters from our site, as there's no markup in them, so try something else. Or... stall a few months. We don't like our current manufacturer and we'll be swapping all the coasters out soon as we find a replacement.
Excellent points all Billy. I especially like this last part because you NEVER KNOW unless you ask.

They could even say perfect timing we just found a great new manufacturer and we're expanding that category. None of our other affiliates are promoting it so you should be able to do well.
