In your opinion, what promo tools are THE most important ones a sponser should have?
 

I am currently re-designing my Affiliate Program (see sig) and wanted to get everyone's opinion on something really important:

What promo tools should I have, do I NEED to have, on the site so that YOU, the beloved affiliate, can make money?

I'm having galleries designed and banners, obviously, but should there be anything else? What would you need to signup, download the tools and get started right away?

This is essential, real-world knowledge I need to get from you all so I appreciate your comments GREATLY. :)

well for me, hosted flv's/xml feeds.

Lately, embedded FLV and RSS

Awesome feedback, thanks! Fellucia Blow has tons of videos and so does Sexxy Brandon so doing FLVs will be a snap. Thanks!

Embedded FLVs and RSS, gotcha. Much appreciated!

Like others have said flash and rss are hot now a days...

If you need some scripts to get that going on your program, hit me up, icq: 33375924 I have those tools all premade ready to be setup on your affiliate program :thumbsup

Much appreciated! Send me a quote via ICQ: #579915163

Thanks! :)

Fellucia is so fucking hot, she's my favorite gal, and I don't think I've ever saw her body.

For me it has always been the same since early on.

I need zip files of pictures and perhaps movie clips. Clips should be large enough that the quality is there but not give away the farm. Watermarks are OK and expected (videos). Lighter watermarks on pictures is OK if they are not to in the way. Clips should be 15-30 seconds each, or give out 5-6 minutes and allow me to cut them up myself.

Of course the pictures should be large, and not flip book style poses. If I can put 15-30 of them into a gif animator and get a movie, then they are useless to me.

After that I will make my own tools - aside from perhaps a RSS feed for webmasters, not surfers.

Agreed - and she shows her body every once in a while. Here's one for you:

Social network account creation apps
Auto posters
Keyword tools
If you're a big enough player, your own assigned outsourced workers

Awesome feedback - what sizes for the images? 800x1200? Say, 600-ish KB?

Keyword tools easy enough to find cheap/free (I would imagine). Social bookmarking is SO alien to me that I have no idea what you're talking about, other than the obvious (that they're apps that help affiliates create accounts). Auto posters would be great. Sadly, as a 'playa', I'm, ahem, well, what's the 'street' for small-ish? LOL Thanks for your feedback!

I can shrink an image, blowing one up sucks.
Unless your super worries about them getting out. Which I just say, control which pictures and how many you do release to people. Put up a couple general zips and then let everyone know custom zips are available with the right stats.

I know I will make my own ads, banners, etc. I do not want what everyone else has so I have pretty much always done it that way unless it was last minute or they lacked material.

Great, thanks! I'll make the pics big. Any affiliate can ask for something custom, within reason and stats-based, but I'll make that more clear on the new design. Thanks!

nice pic ....

Thanks - she converts like crazy!
