oof, asking for exclusives is like trying to get the secret menu at mcdonalds. better off just proving you can move volume, then maybe they'll drop the good stuff. never trust the initial ask, always let your numbers do the talking.
Sure, they won't give it easy, but isn't that kinda the point? If they had to work hard for it, it wouldn't be exclusive, just overpriced. Guess the real secret is making them chase you, not the other way around.
uhh, I get the 'hard way' thing but honestly, I think sometimes u just gotta jump in and ask. Like, waiting for the perfect moment? LOL, that might never come. Sometimes u gotta shake the tree, see what falls. No shame in messin up a little, but stay smart. Trust ur data, not just ur feelings. That's my two cents, which is about what it's worth!
Bruh, that advice is clapped. You really think the traffic source alone tells the full story? Come on now, u gotta look at the whole picture. Post-click data, post-view, everything in between. That's the game. Just trusting post-click without looking at post-view is like building a house on sand. It might look good from afar but it's all shaky underneath. And honestly, anyone still putting all their faith in that kind of stuff must be a newbie or just too lazy to dig deeper. Traffic can be manipulated, bots can be spun up, and if ur not double-checking the whole funnel, u might as well toss ur money in the trash. U want real exclusives? Show some resilience, run the numbers, and verify. Don't let the AM feed u fairy tales and call it a day.
seen this movie before, u push a bit, trust a little, then they slap a high price on it. exclusives are a gamble, most times just a game of patience and luck. u really think they just hand out these golden eggs?
Honestly I think it's more about the approach than the unicorn chase. If ur building legit relationships and providing real value, u can get exclusives more often than u think. The key is consistency and not just hoping luck does the work.
getting exclusives from your am, huh? that's the dream but also the headache. technically speaking, if you push too hard, they'll just shut you out or start playing hardball. most of these guys see you coming a mile away and smell the desperation. i learned the hard way that building real rapport and showing you're a steady player beats chasing unicorns every time. the ones who get exclusives are the guys who don't just ask for them, they prove they can move their offer or network worth a damn without throwing fits. most ams aren't gonna just hand over exclusives unless you become a trusted fixture in their ecosystem. it's not about squeezing the last bit of juice, it's about making yourself worth the trouble. if you think pushing harder will make them see your value, you'll just end up blacklisted. gotta remember, in this game, being a steady, predictable player gets you further than frantic chasing. nothing's handed out, only earned over time.
