The Affiliate Guy with Matt McWilliams: Marketing Tips, Affiliate Management, & More

How to Fix the Biggest Problems Holding Back Your Affiliate Program

August 17, 2026·47 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Every affiliate program runs into problems. Some show up before you ever recruit your first affiliate, like choosing the right tracking software, fixing website issues, dialing in conversions, setting commissions, and getting your program policies clear. Others hit once the program is live, like finding the right affiliates, activating them, keeping them engaged, communicating well, and giving them the right promotional materials. In this episode, I'm walking through the common problems every affiliate program faces, including the later-stage issues too: changing technology, fraud, brand reputation, compliance, and the need to keep testing new ideas. You'll learn what usually goes wrong, why it slows down growth, and what to fix first.
