As an affiliate what tools do YOU want?
 

Now that I am running my affiliate program myself, I would be very interested to know as an affiliate what tools do you generally want in order to promote a program?

After a little while off due to personal reasons, I am now back and looking at creating many more affiliate tools that people can use to promote my site(s) - new ones coming soon! Currently I have the following:

Free Hosted Galleries
Free Hosted Movie Galleries
Banners
Downloadable Content Zips

So tell me what other promo tools would you want to promote my site, or any site in general :)

RSS Feeds would great also:)

That's something i'm quite happy to add in :) Have been thinking about it, along with POTD and maybe Movieclip OTD... any others? :)

they want everything and in return send you a join a month. :winkwink:

FLVs is a big one these days.

and of course embeds

This is what I look for as an affiliate:

• Free Hosted Galleries
• FHG w/ descriptions and thumbnails
• RSS feeds that easy to change into what I need
• Standard size banners (120x600 come on people)
• Sometimes I like multiple tours (more niched)
• Easy contact for support.. don't hide

If you are looking for some great premade tools for your affiliate program, hit me up on icq: 33375924 or woj [at] wojfunt dot com

that's better than nothing ;)

Maybe some hosted freesites for link list owners , Hosted tubesites for tube site owners and hosted TGP for the TGP owners.

I want to see a tour that converts, and quality site content that retains well.

Hosted galleries are nice, but content zips that are updated regularly or member access works too. That's all I require, I can do the rest myself. Anything on top of that is a bonus.

Providing and maintaining all of the "desired" promo tools can be very time consuming, so you have to still maintain the site itself and figure out how much is left to build and maintain promo tools.

Bingo :2 cents:

Hosted flv's with an XML feed. Check out CCBTools since you're using CCBill. Makes it easy for Tube Ace users to import your new promotional videos.

Link Codes, Functioning stats, and content for download (WMVs, images etc.) on a regular basis.

Very interesting thanks guys :) I am in the process of sorting out multiple tours in different niches, which will be really really cool, just shooting a bunch of new content for them :)

1 sale per affiliate per period at 100 affiliates is 100 sales per period.

If you ever have over 20 sites... a list of what sites come with what passes would be awesome. Why sponsors don't do this when they have 100+ sites is mind boggling to me. It takes me hours to go through a single large sponsor and sort out their mess...

RSS feeds(for blogs), flv import tool(in csv format)

Signed Up!
 

Just wanted to let you know that I just signed up for your program. I am starting to do some niche blogs so I figured I would start with you as my first blog. I will let you know when and where you can find it. :thumbsup

What would be awesome is me signing up and you submitting your FHGs to all the best TGPs with my affiliate code....kthxbye..

Be friendly to bloggers and provide embeds.

Also, collages are quite popular for blogs; may want to slap a few of them together. Perhaps an affiliate will want to be lazy and will publish your college rather than making one themselves with shots from another sponsor.

What are the standard banner sizes now and are animated banners needed?

I want my Tool in a tight pussy, all i need.

and doesn't even cover the cost of lunch. :thumbsup

Just wanted to say thanks :) :)

I am happy having affiliates making 1 sale per period etc, I don't judge we all have to start somewhere right :)

Thank you :thumbsup

Hosted FLV with an auto update feed :thumbsup

You have to recur. :) Seriously tho you have to have decent referrers to track incoming traffic. Nats for example.

It is amazing how many progs still have less than optimum referrers.

I've noticed that most winning progs now days have good solid referrers. I like to see Nats. If i'm going too buy traffic and send it, (as I do, all forms) I like to see a sponsor have Nats.

ahaha.. nice one :1orglaugh

So a flash rss feed?

good post, bump
