Money Marketing Software: Tools for Affiliate Marketers

Affiliate marketing is something many people do every day. With everything that needs to be done in the course of a full time affiliate marketer's day, it can be quite overwhelming. Aside from outsourcing work to other individuals online, there are many different software options available to help.

Programs to Help with Web Design

While a professional web designer is not in everyone's budget, having a good web design is important. If people do not find your website aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, they will not be back. Repeat business may not be all that important to you, but it should be. Not only do you want repeat business, but you also want referrals. People aren't going to refer others to a website they can't stand. Use these programs to design a professional website of your own:

• WordPress: It's free. The themes you can use to build your site are free. The plugins you use to customize your site are free. There are premium themes and plugins available, but it's enough to get you started and is very user friendly.
• Artisteer: This one's not free, but it will help you build templates for: HTML/CSS based sites, WordPress, Blogger, Joomla, and several other platforms for websites.

Programs to Help with Article and Content Writing

Not all content providers are created equally, and while you can write your own content, sometimes it's better to use others to help. While we recommend using quality content from a quality provider, we understand it's not always in the budget, so here are some programs to help you:

• The Best Free Article Spinner: This is an online article spinner for free.
• JetSpinner: This is another free online article spinner.

Programs to Help with Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is key to building any website for marketing any product, because traffic converts to sales! SEO is a complex beast, that even some of the best pros will never understand completely. Outsourcing to an SEO company could hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, so here are some programs to help you:

• LinkAssistant: This is a program that helps you find potential websites to backlink to, and how you can track your backlinking efforts.

Programs to Help with Web Site Analytics and Campaign Tracking

A key part of understanding what works for you and what is not working for you is taking a look at the analytics of your website and tracking how well your advertising campaigns are doing. There are many programs you can use to do this, and many of your affiliate programs will have their own tracking abilities installed in their system to help you, but for your website itself, take a look at these programs to help you:

• Google Analytics: A free service, this is easy to integrate into WordPress or any website. If you use AdWords to advertise your site, you can track how well your campaigns are doing from within the dashboard.

Re: Affiliate Marketing - Open for Discussion - Carol, Mary and David - thanks for your great input and insight on Affiliate Marketing! This is the kind of discussion I was hoping for in this thread. There are pros and cons to Affiliate Marketing, just as there are to any business. As has been suggested, he best policy is to proceed with caution and do some research before jumping in. As Carol has recommended, this topic thread in the EvanCarmichael.com forum is the ideal place to ask questions and seek further input on available Affiliate Marketing programs. If a person is serious about building an online business and is interested in Affiliate Marketing plans, they should approach the process as they would any other form of business. Research, ask questions, compare opportunities, participate in forums on online business and Affiliate Marketing. GT :-]
Re: Affiliate Marketing - Open for Discussion - Hi GT Affiliate Marketing is one of the easier ways to get started making money online, but it does take quite a bit of work before you see any great results as you have to keep promoting constantly. It does teach you one hell of a lot about all aspects of Internet Marketing though as you will need to learn how to write and submit articles, create and maintain a blog, social networking is a great help to affiliates too..the list goes on and on. In fact from what you learn from Affiliate Marketing you can apply to any niche and be sure to succeed, take care, Carol
Re: Affiliate Marketing - Open for Discussion - You made some very good points here Jeff and I agree with you, Affiliate Marketing should not be something that you concentrate all your efforts into. As i said earlier I have learned a lot with Affiliate Marketing and continue to do so, and it has helped me tremendously to understand what I am going to have to do in my chosen niche(s). I am also being coached by the same group of mentors as GT and we are all moving forward daily to achieve our ultimate goals. Take care, Carol

Well, I have learned from realhomebasedsuccess dot com that there are home based business opportunities and ideas that could be our option such as: -Selling Goods or Providing Services Online -Making Money through Direct Marketing -Becoming an Affiliate Marketer -Getting Paid on a Click Thru but I was thinking which is the best one and most effective in terms of generating consistent Ongoing Profits. What do you think? do you have any insights?
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Hi, Online Marketing would be a great title, and having sub categories would make it even better, there would plenty of categories to choose from, Social Media, SEO, Article Marketing and yes even Affiliate Marketing to name just a few, great looking site btw Jeff, take care, Carol
