Celebrity WA Member: Jeannine Crooks: Client Services Manager for Awin U.S.
This is the first in what I hope will become a small series of posts, about members who were already famous before joining WA.
The point of the series is to cast a spotlight on these highly successful members, so a larger percentage of the community will become aware of them.
For each, I'll tell you whether s/he's still active at WA and what his/her field of expertise is.
Meet the first celebrity in the series: Jeannine Crooks. She's the Client Services Manager for Awin (Affiliate Window)'s U.S. office. She's also a high ranking member of WA.
Below is a screenshot of the beginning of a conversation between Jeannine and Kyle, on the day Jeannine joined WA (Nov 14, 2016). (The rest of the conversation was likely carried out privately).
acquisition [business]: something that is bought by a company, such as another company, a building, or a piece of land
Cambridge Dictionary - English Business: definition of acquisition (external link)
In January of this year (2017), Awin acquired ShareASale. That's enormous!
Notice ShareASale's logo now includes "Part of Awin" at the bottom.
If you'd like, you can read the post written by ShareASale Founder, Brian Littleton, about Awin's acquisition of ShareASale.(external link)
What does the acquisition mean for us? Both these ethical, proven, affiliate platforms have become even stronger and more robust. That means, any of us who affiliate with either or both will have even MORE opportunity to make money.
Yes - we LOVE helping people - but money is what makes it possible for us to do that.
After stalking Jeannine all around WA for the last month, I can tell you with certainty where most of her member rank comes from: answering questions and solving problems - especially regarding Awin or ShareASale.
And, to put the icing on the cake, she's said she'll make more posts for us as soon as she gets time. JeannineC is someone every WA member should be following and paying attention to.
Jeannine, if you see this: thank you for joining WA and working so hard to help us all!

- - EDIT Fri, Nov 24, 2017:
Not everyone reads comments.
Knowing that, I edited this post to include a screenshot of a reply I made to a fellow member's comment.
It does a good job of explaining WHY I decided to make this series.
Edited Tue, Nov 28, 2017: added 2nd screenshot of Jeannine's rank, showing her progress over 4.5 days.
(If the "Last Update" date shows anything other than Nov 28, 2017, it's inaccurate).

I am so honored to be the subject of your first article in this series! I am overwhelmed by your kind words about my efforts here too! Kudos on your research – seems like you’ve done a fantastic job finding my modest trail on WA. Thank you!
After spending so many years in affiliate marketing, I’m always glad to share what I know, hoping that will help others succeed in the industry I dearly love. While most of the other members in Wealthy Affiliate are first discovering affiliate marketing, I have enjoyed it for so long that I can’t honestly imagine doing anything else for the rest of my life. I hope I can play a tiny role in igniting that same passion in others.
Thank you again for this lovely, unexpected post. I hope I can live up to all these wonderful things you’ve shared – I promise to do my best!

Hi, Jeannine!
I'm so happy you've found this post AND that you aren't offended by my investigative work.
Don't worry about living up to the praise. You've earned it. Having paid close attention to your WA activities for so long, I know you'll continue to.
It's impossible to overstate your value to WA. In fact, I intentionally understated it, out of concern people might consider me a starry-eyed fan girl and disregard the post if I'd said all I'd wanted to.
Thank you again for joining WA and for all the help you give us!
Sharon
I just bought my annual membership, so I promise to be around for a very long time!
Thanks again!

Hooray!
You're welcome, Jeannine.
Thank you for being so generous in sharing your expertise with us.
Thank you so much for sharing this as it is nice to see highly successful members especially those that were doing well even before joining Wealthy Affiliate. Looking forward to more of these in the future!

You're welcome, Brian.
It IS nice to see them, isn't it? And helpful!
Every time I find a member that fits this bill, I'll add him/her to the series. :)

Hi, Sondra.
You're so welcome. I came across her accidentally, and it made me wonder how many others might be unaware of her.
I'm driven to see EVERY member of WA achieve his or her dreams. For that to happen, every one of us needs to be made aware of, and have access to, ALL of the resources available here.
Jeannine's a powerful resource - one I don't want anyone to miss out on. In the post's screenshot about ShareASale having a new website makeover, is just one of many examples of how she goes out of her way to help affiliates.
Her enthusiasm for providing "nuts and bolts" answers and solutions is what got her into the top 200 highest-ranking WA members and it's what makes her so valuable to us.
It's my hope that she'll eventually become an ambassador. If she does, she'll be easier to find, even for new members.
The more help a new member can get, and the sooner s/he can get it, the more likely s/he is to succeed. That's what I want to see: more success, less quitting because of confusion or frustration.
I noticed you'll be celebrating your 1-year anniversary of WA premium membership WA soon: an early, but hearty, congratulations on that!
Sharon
Thank you! I looked up her profile yesterday. She doens't write many blog posts, so that means that she is spending an incredible amount of time helping people in the community and answering questions. She certainly deserves this special mention.

Hi, Sondra.
Exactly right - nearly all of her ranking comes from answering questions and providing solutions to problems. Amazing, isn't it? :)

This is a great post, Sharon. We're also connected and she had mentioned Awin to me. Excellent!

Hi, Randy.
It's awfully exciting to have Jeannine here, isn't it?
I think you'll find a lot of affiliate opportunities at Awin and/or ShareASale that'll work well for at least one of your sites.
Good luck, my friend, and have fun!
You bet it is. I'll be talking to Jeannine in the future to see if she can give me a little help with some options for my C&FC;. Gotta PM ya' soon with another idea I've been rolling over in the 'ol noggin. Really need your input on this one after thinking about it a bit more!
Thank ya' for a great intro to Jeannine, my friend!!!
