This certification path builds upon the topics covered in the Affiliate and Partnerships Industry Training for Partners – Associate certification path.

In this six-course path led by respected industry pros, you’ll learn how to work with niche brands and affiliate subnetworks, and what to do when a brand just isn’t right for you. You’ll boost your negotiation prowess with insights on insertion orders and proven techniques for researching competitive rates.

Next, you’ll discover how to deal with expansion once your platform encounters that inevitable burst of growth.

Mobile is huge these days, so you’ll also dive into what you can (and can’t) do with this medium. And because inadvertent fraud can ruin partnerships, you’ll be equipped with the tools and extensions you need to make sure all your traffic is legit.

Finally, you’ll learn how to take your partnerships to the next level with KPIs, metrics, and QBRs to impress your brands and earn more commission.
