THE AFFILIATE MARKETING PRIMER

5 - TOP AFFILIATE MARKETING TOOLS:

These affiliate marketing tools are the best I've run across - and I'll tell you briefly why I think so. I've listed the tools that I and others have found most useful for a number of situations related to affiliate marketing.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that you'll want to use them all! Some may be of interest only to a webmarketer, for example; others may be of interest only for a certain period of time - or not at all, depending on your goals and your personal inclinations.

Some of these tools are free (which sometimes means that you'll be subject to advertising in some fashion as your "payment" for them! - though perhaps only in hopes that you'll opt for some for-pay product or service as well... which I point out only so that you'll be sure to take note of how other people are, sometimes very creatively, making use of the lure of "free stuff" :^). Some are promoted via affiliate programs...

I've annotated the listings to show which of these tools offer affiliate programs - in case they prove to be of interest to you for that purpose. I trust that you won't be trying to promote affiliate marketing tools to your own clientele without good cause! But it generally doesn't hurt to use your own link for an affiliate program when you do have a good reason to include a merchant's product/service on your site.

FOR AFFILIATES

Tools useful to affiliate partners in ensuring successful pursuit of commissions...

(And if/when you're ready to sell something yourself, come back to the "For Merchants" list for the other side.)

FOR BOTH

Other tools that both affiliate merchants and their partners might use to excellent advantage...

And in many cases, not just in affiliate marketing! These include some great business (and life) effectiveness tools...

FOR MERCHANTS

Tools useful to merchants in operating an affiliate program...

(But are you a merchant who is an affiliate, too? - then see the "For Affiliates" section for some other tools not in your list.)
