But for the most part, our own experience has been that "<i>trust and commitment of a relationship-driven approach [does] reduce attrition</i>." This is why at Share Results, we take this approach ourselves. Many of the affiliates that started out with us have remained very loyal. Even if they begin promoting in other niches, they continue to promote programs with us, as well. So the relationship approach does tend to be an all around win. @Jeff, perhaps I should’ve been more clear that this is a rare risk — i.e. there’s the odd affiliate that you might train from scratch and then move on to other niches.

In the "Relationship Focus" philosophy, you mention as a con that some affiliates may leave just as they become effective. Why do you think this is the case? I would expect that the trust and commitment of a relationship-driven approach would actually reduce attrition. Interesting post.

I absolutely fall under #2 (relationship focus). In the long run, I believe that you continue to get better results with less work, as you continue to train affiliates under you. This is also a great way to build residual income after you are done promoting a product but some affiliates under you continue to do so...
