Moving from consulting to a steady job is a big change. In this recent episode of Affiliate Nerd Out #RealTalkFriday, Christen Evans (she/her) and I talked about the realities of that transition—from the relief of a stable paycheck to the risks of poor tracking and why some businesses should wait before launching an affiliate program.

Topics we covered:

1. Consulting vs. in-house stability
2. Tracking mistakes that waste budget
3. Attribution gaps and reporting issues
4. Why some brands should wait to launch

Consulting can feel like constant pressure to generate revenue from the next client. A structured organization can offer stability many independent professionals miss.

One big takeaway: integrity means helping brands avoid bad investments, even when it means turning down business.
