I would have to say designing sites and then creating content. I have a serious problem though. I have gobs and gobs of articles written on paper but I really really hate to type. It's not laziness, I am just really bad at typing so it takes me forever to put my articles in marketable form.

Bummer

Default Helping my clients make $$!

I work within the interactive marketing realm; so my favorite part of affiliate networking is on the opposite side of the spectrum-helping my clients make money!

I've got to also add that I really do love the SEO game. I used to be absolutely clueless and believe that the only people who can get ranked were people who have had their sites up for ages and who have paid to have their sites optimed or whatever.

I have since realized that it can happen for anyone if you just commit yourself to having great content and getting your stuff out there. The whole Web 2.0 thing has been great for "the little guys" who don't want to spend tons of money to get ranked.

Very interesting point. Once I got into affiliate marketing I discovered how much I enjoy helping people through my content, etc. and it is a very rewarding process, especially when you receive emails from people thanking you. Sometimes it's the little things. Being helpful is always fun.

Default SEO Rules!!!

It is a great feeling to build a website, do some seo and a few weeks later find it ranks for your keywords

Better still when you look at your site's statistics and it ranks well for other keywords you were not targeting. Great stuff

Default favorite things

I love those answers above!

My favorite part of affiliate marketing is working with affiliates and seeing them grow overtime. There are several affiliates that I have worked with since 2000 and in that time they went from starting a website to working a full time job and their part time affiliate business. Then they went from there to working more at home and trying to balance both jobs and finally to taking that huge step and working on their affiliate business full time.

Watching so much hard work bear fruit is awesome. Seeing them be able to support their families on work that they can now do from home is so fullfilling and I like to think, in some instances, I helped them along the way. I know they have helped me.

It's great to be a part, even a small small part, in the success of others and seeing how that changes lives.

What I love about Affiliate Marketing from a Mgr's perspective is that is never gets old. This industry is constantly evolving there is always something new going on. Whether it is offers, or pubs, or advertisers, there is always something fresh everyday. It is anything but boring.

There aren't many sales occupations out there where you can be elated one minute and totally fustrated the next, and constantly busy..

Default The best part for me is the marketing...

Aside from cashing the checks...

The best part for me is not having to spend all the time creating the product. I can just focus my efforts on the marketing which is a whole lot more exciting.

Best wishes,

Michael

Default I picked other

At this point I am not sure what I like the best, so I picked other.

I probably would have picked cashing checks, except I haven't gotten one yet

I'll tell you this I am write in the middle of first time marketing and traffic generating and SEO and I am NOT LOVIN THAT!! Ask me again after I figure out what I'm doing!
