Website Building Software – The best website building software right now, hands down, is self-hosted WordPress. Email Marketing Software – There are some standard programs, as well as newer options that look great. File Sharing & Storage – Even though you may use Amazon S3 for product delivery, Dropbox or GoogleDrive will work great as well to deliver information to others on a smaller scale and to keep track of your work. Paying People – Right now PayPal.com is the standard. PayPal lets you set up “mass pay” so that you can pay more than one affiliate at a time by uploading a spreadsheet. Software like Manage Engine’s Service Desk Plus is one such option. Finding tools that will help you run your affiliate program will give you more time to create products that your affiliates can promote. Much of the work that you put in up front will pay off later when your affiliate program essentially runs itself and you’re raking in the money. Make your affiliate program the best it can be. Offer great commissions, excellent marketing resources, and deliver an amazing product and you will become successful.
A variety of tools and software can be used to recruit affiliates. Consider all the things you need to do – keep track of people, your products, affiliates’ commissions, and payouts. They also need easy access to your marketing materials. Try these tools and you’ll do great.
