Hey everyone,
I am in affiliate marketing and have been very successful with it the last 2 years. Anyway I have been helping a lot of people who have joined programs that I have recommended. I have been doing this with email, phone and messaging services. My issue is that my followers and people I offer support to has exceeded my own physical ability. I am receiving hundreds of emails a day and I cant respond to them fast enough.
So here are my questions.
1. Should I create a marketing training site for my followers?
2. Should I charge a fee, monthly fee or keep it free?
3. What suggestions do you all have?
I have seen a lot of people charge a lot of money for the knowledge and support I provide. I don't mind helping people, in fact I pride myself for doing so but I feel as if I am giving too much away for free and that I am losing money in the process.
I was thinking if I should put together a marketing training site for my team

Hello aldanson,
Why not?
Follow your inspiration!
Maybe you should start out small, with a very reasonable price and upgrade form there?
You can add a forum to your website very easily there days too, as I am sure you know.
I wish you the best!
Victoria

1) Yes it helps most of the time. Cover all the basic questions in a faq style.
2) This will really help you in earning an additional money a month. But keep this very low, below $10 a month. No one will afford to pay more. Or give a life time suggestion service for $19.95 
3) Thats it from you. Kick start the work...
All the best !

Hi Aldanson,
Getting that many emails each day is normal for any biz that has started to take off.
The other thing that happens along with the daily volume of emails is that it brings you to a cross roads. How now shall you manage it all?
You pretty much answered your own question - you need to free yourself from personally answering so many daily emails. Only question is how much to charge or if at all
You could do it free of charge, charge a one time fee, or a monthly fee.
Another option is to hire someone part time to do it for you.
All options have pros and cons.
You'll have to be the one who makes the final decision.
Good luck,
~Newbie Shield~

I think you've got the right idea and should definately expose your skills for benefit.

The Shield makes an important observation and there's much wisdom to be extracted from it.
Fact: The email growth of your affiliate business is forcing you to consider alternative and more efficient ways to continue providing support.
Lesson: From now on your planning must anticipate continued growth and include contingency strategies for what to do when you come to the next junction. The path to success is strewn with crossroads and contingencies. 
In addition to the earlier suggestions in this thread, you could...
- put what you know into a series of ebooks and videos (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and make them available to affiliates.
- conduct teleconfrences or web confrences and address one or several subjects per session.
- charge a nominal fee for each of the above.
You get the final say!
