For home-based workers, working in online marketing can often feeling like working on an deserted island. When you work from your home, there are no monthly birthday party celebrations with your co-workers in the break room, there isn’t a “coffee club” hanging around the coffee machine talking about the latest episode of American Idol, and there are no 15-minute smoke breaks with your buddies to talk about how your team played over the weekend.

Sure, home-based workers have emails and phone calls with peers or business partners to give some human interaction, but many days it is just you and your computer getting through the workday. It is often stated that affiliate marketing, “Is about the relationships”. But, other than those few contact points or attending industry events a few times a year, you don’t have many opportunities to really get to develop a deep working relationship or even a good friendship with someone you work with on a regular basis.

That said, we at MGECOM want to post of series of “Get to Know Us” interviews with our staff. We want to use these interviews as an opportunity to foster a greater relationship between our clients and business partners. We hope that these light and fun interviews will put a face and personality to the person behind the “@mgecom.com” emails and that voice on the other end of that phone. You never know what you may find you have in common with someone!

We will start our “Get to Know Us” series next week with our first interview where we’ll feature Anne Fognano, who recently won two awards from ABestWeb.com, the “2011 New Affiliate Manager of the Year” and the “Affiliate Marketing Legend”.

Enjoy getting to know us!
