Affiliate marketing is based on the number of quality referrals your affiliates make. Thus, the success of your affiliate marketing campaign is largely due to the work done by your affiliates. Since the dependency of the success of
your marketing campaign is based on your affiliates work, it is important to maintain or obtain a better working relationship with your affiliates so that they will want to work harder for you.

Affiliate marketing is usually commission based. Which means that only once a sale is made through one of the referrals of an affiliate, will the affiliate get paid. You can offer affiliates to get a certain number of referrals and then increase their commissions.
You can also offer affiliates a commission based on a percentage of the sales, so then the higher the sale the greater their commission. Occasionally you can offer them a discount when buying your products of even getting free samples.
Since most of the time you would be working with your affiliates either via email or telephonically, the relationship built is impersonal. Thus, you can offer interactive workshops to improve their selling skills or even treat them to lunch once in a while to get to know them better. Another way is through regular emailing and updates as to how the marketing is going and maybe even some insight to you as a person.
Finally, you also need to get to know your affiliates on a personal level. So it is recommended to ask for feedback and to be there to support the affiliates should they have any problems.
