A merchant relies on his affiliate network to be successful in affiliate marketing, and therefore it is in his best interests to manage the affiliates closely in order to help both the affiliates and the merchant. Many merchants are happy to let any affiliate promote their products and merchandise, whether their websites are compatible or not. If an affiliate promotes a product which is going to be of interest to their website visitors there is a greater chance that the product will achieve high sales figures.

A merchant who is expecting to be successful will communicate with their affiliates the level of commission received, the payment method offered as well as the frequency of payment. These aspects are very important to an affiliate and can make a difference as to which merchant they will work with. A regular monthly payment of all commission payments due is appreciated by affiliates to help them with their business.

Merchants will very often provide promotional offers for the affiliates which will benefit both the affiliate and merchant by attracting extra sales. As well as promotions, an offer of extra coaching or mentoring will help an affiliate to improve their existing skills in the marketing sector and therefore, increase website traffic and exposure to the merchants products and merchandise.
