Annual planning doesn’t have to be boring—trust me! This week on Affiliate Nerd Out, I’m joined by the incredible Will Gaines, an affiliate marketing veteran with over 15 years of experience. From being an analyst to a global director of partnership marketing, Will has done it all and now consults for tech and supplement companies.

We’re sharing tips on mapping out your entire year, the value of reviewing past performance, and why clean data is your best friend. Plus, we talk about thinking outside the box, like creating new holidays to fill sales gaps. If you’re ready to make annual planning productive (and surprisingly fun), this episode is packed with insights and creative strategies to level up your affiliate marketing game.

Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more nerdy tips and tricks. See you in the Nerditorium!
