Do you want to create an affiliate program?

Here are the tools I recommend to get started:

Tools for Running Your Affiliate Program:

Clickbank – Clickbank’s Publisher Program. (This is the easiest option.)

Note: Easy Click Mate – If you use clickbank, this is a really great tool to create an affiliate center.

http://www.wahmcart.com/special – An affordable shopping cart for digital (downloadable products) if you’d prefer to have something more flexible than clickbank (or have more control).

http://www.shopkitplus.com/Info – A great shopping cart if you offer physical products (like candles or makeup). (Note: I haven’t had the opportunity to use this program, but I know the owner and she is very dedicated to customer support.)

Tools for Keeping in Touch with Affiliates:

Aweber.com - An online autoresponder to communicate with your affiliates (customers, leads, etc.).

Send Out Cards - An “offline autoresponder” that allows you to send real greeting cards in the mail to your affiliates (even with gift cards if you’d like). This is great for contests, rewards, or just a “we appreciate you” email to your top affiliates. (Note: TRY IT FREE — I’ll pay for your first two cards - just look at the banner on the site.)

Resources:

www.SalesArmySecrets.com – A brand new and incredibly thorough course I’m putting together with Jimmy D. Brown.

Free ecourse “How to Get More Affiliates”:

I also put together a free ecourse about how to get more affiliates, entitled “5 Surefire Strategies that You Can Use to Find Affiliates that are Hungry to Promote YOUR Product or Service”. I’ll be adding additional tips and advice as I go along.

I’m wiped out after the Hot Summer Seminar Series call tonight. It went a full hour and 45 minutes and they picked my brain dry. I had a great time with my friend, Kelly McCausey, as always.

Have a wonderful day!
