YNOT – Affiliate program Rude Masters has tapped Torn Rose as affiliate manager.“I am very excited to take on this new position,” Rose said. “I have my full attention focused on changing the Rude Masters program for the better and helping Rude affiliates get the tools they want and need to convert traffic.

“I think I bring a unique perspective to Rude, having been a producer, an affiliate and a user,” he added. “I have worked on and off with Rude behind the scenes pretty much since day one, so it’s nice to make it official and earn my Rude title.”

According to owner Brett Lamar, Rose has worked in various capacities inside the adult online community since October 1999.

“We consider Torn part of the family and a jack of all trades,” he said. “He has run a personal site alongside his wife for the past 11 years, has spent time both in front of and behind the camera, has acted as webmaster, photographer and cameraman, a CMS manager, events organizer, customer service representative, a billing expert, and perhaps most importantly, an affiliate. He knows the work it takes to promote sites, convert traffic, submit to TGPs and free sites, and he understands the day-in and day-out of what it takes to run a successful online business.

“He is also a valued, long-term member of our Rude community, having started one of the very first profiles. We are thrilled to have him onboard.”

Rude Masters offers affiliates pay-per-sale, pay-per-sign-up and revshare options. The program houses a variety of sites, including Rude.com, RudeShows.com, PeepHut.com, RudeArchives.com, RudeVirtual and CollectMyClips.com.

Rude Master’s flagship site, Rude.com, is a social networking site offering live and recorded user-created and uploaded video along with personal profile pages. Since its launch almost four years ago, Rude.com has grown to nearly 7.5 million registered members, Lamar said.
