In this video, we'll explore effective collaboration strategies with affiliates and partners. We'll touch on common mistakes and offer guidance for those new to affiliate event management. While not an in-depth exploration for affiliate program experts, we aim to provide a solid foundation for improving your affiliate management approach. We'll define affiliates, highlighting their role in sharing events with their audiences via various channels, and discuss the commission structure within Hey Summit.
