I’m Travis Jacobson, and I build affiliate and partnership programs that actually move the revenue needle for B2B SaaS, eCommerce, and home services brands.
For the past 17+ years, I’ve managed programs for category‑leading brands in SaaS, eCommerce, home improvement, and BBQ. Recruiting high‑quality partners, optimizing performance, and turning affiliates into a predictable growth channel instead of a side project.


Today, I run ManagingAffiliates.com, where I help teams design, launch, and scale affiliate programs through hands‑on management, not templates and wishful thinking. If you’re looking to launch a new affiliate program or want more out of the one you already have, I’d love to hop on a call and talk through where affiliate fits into your overall growth strategy.

Outside of work, I’m a husband, dad, coach, and BBQ‑obsessed sports fan living in Utah.


Most evenings you’ll find me at a ball field, behind a smoker, or planning the next family trip. That same mindset of showing up, doing right by people, and building things that last is exactly how I manage affiliate programs.

Family Man

My biggest “why” is my wife and kids. Work is about building something that supports the people I care about most.

Coach

I love being on the field with my kids and teams. It keeps me focused on fundamentals and long‑term development.

Affiliate Expert

17+ years building and scaling programs for brands like WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Semrush, Liquid Web, Vivint, Bluehost, ThermoWorks, and more.

Loves the Outdoors

Utah is home, and time in the mountains is where I reset and come back with better ideas for solving tough growth problems.

Wannabe Pitmaster

I’ve managed affiliate programs in the BBQ space and loved getting to know pitmasters who treat craft and community the same way I treat partnerships.

Skier

Skiing is my happy place! Being up on the mountain with my family is where I relax and reset.
