If You Aren’t Using These 8 Tools For Affiliate Marketing Now, You’ll Hate Yourself Later!

Affiliate Marketing is used by businesses to generate leads and improve sales.

Although Affiliate Marketing can be profitable, success cannot be achieved overnight. However, many people think that Affiliate Marketing is a way of making easy money, fall prey to ‘tricks’, and fail.

To succeed in Affiliate Marketing, one must spend time researching content, marketing content, and generating traffic, leads, and sales. For beginners, Affiliate Marketing can be a bit overwhelming.

Thankfully, there are tools that you can use to make it profitable and professional! So if you want to build a long-term Affiliate Marketing business, you will need 8 tools that I will cover in this post.

The tools I am about to share are the pillars of my business and my entire business is built on them.

Piece Of Advice

The tools I am going to share are paid and many of them have a free plan. I would request you to explore the free plan first and then pay for the tools, once you feel you are ready to go to the next level.

If you are a beginner, please do not pay for the tools! Use the free versions, or the free trials, explore the tools and pay for them if you feel they can help your business, okay?

And those of you who want to invest can invest! It is up to you! But make sure you know how the tools work before paying, okay? So, let’s dive in!

(1) Webinar Tool

You need a webinar tool to conduct webinars, educate people, engage with them, build a rapport, and make sales, okay?

Due to the pandemic, many businesses moved online to sell their products, and webinars play a key role in converting visitors into customers.

So, the webinar tool that I would recommend you use for your business and the one that I use is WebinarKit.

(2) Website

Your website will help you build authority and it is where people will explore your content. You can create your website on WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace.

My website is built on WordPress and I would recommend you to build your website on the same, okay?

(3) Hosting Platform

To host your website, you will need a hosting platform.

What is hosting? Hosting is storing your files, managing your website, making it secure, and so on.

According to my experience, the following 3 platforms are the best in their space. You can blindly go to their platform and host your website.

My top 3 hosting recommendations are:

1. BlueHost
2. HostGator
3. WPX Hosting

(4) Domain Name

To let visitors visit your website, you will need a domain. The domain name is the address of your website.

For example, my website shubhamjeetkumar.com is my domain. Similarly, you would need your domain name.

The platform that I use to create domain names is Namecheap. It is the best platform for finding domain names, hands-down!

Don’t ask me why, explore yourself and you will find the answer!

Please note that all the systems I am sharing are based on my experience and knowledge. I know there are many alternatives in the market, but I am suggesting the best ones! You can find cheaper tools, but they won’t be as effective and as seamless as the ones I am recommending, okay?

(5) E-mail Marketing Tool

Have you ever observed that when you submit a form on any platform, you immediately receive an e-mail from them? Have you ever wondered how it is done?

Let me answer that question for you. When you submit a form on a website, you enter their email list. Based on your form submission, automation is triggered that sends you e-mails every day.

So before I share the E-mail marketing tools, I will share a bit about how they work.

With the help of an e-mail marketing tool, you can create a form and link it with a list. When people are added to the list, automation is triggered where products, services, and webinars are promoted to the audience, okay?

You can use the e-mail marketing tool to tell people about your content, courses, webinars, services, and so on.

Every experienced Affiliate Marketer understands how crucial an e-mail autoresponder is and they use it to capture leads and then send automated e-mails to their audience.

I hope the functioning of an e-mail marketing tool is clear.

Now, let me share the e-mail marketing tool that I use, okay? I use Moosend to run e-mail marketing campaigns and capture leads, okay?

Moosend offers a free 30-day trial and if you like it, you can purchase it for just $9 per month. Besides, you can use ConvertKit, Aweber, ActiveCampaign, and GetResponse.

(6) Payment Gateway

A payment gateway will help you accept payments from people if you sell your products – courses, coaching, consulting, etc., okay? I use Razorpay and Stripe to accept payments and I recommend you use the same.

(7) Learning Management System

This system is for those who want to set up their online courses. If you want to record and publish courses, you will need a Learning Management System or the LMS.

Through the LMS, you can set up your online school, teach students, and analyze their performance.

Here’s how creating courses will help you with Affiliate Marketing:

1. You should set up courses that walk your students through your affiliate product.
2. Below each course video, you should place your affiliate link.
3. Once your students click the affiliate link and buy, you will earn the commission.
4. You will earn from both, your course sales, and your affiliate commissions.

Isn’t this powerful?

I have been using courses as a way of selling my affiliate products since 2021 and they have helped me scale my Affiliate Marketing business up to 3x.

The LMSs that I recommend are Teachable, Thinkific, and LearnDash.

(8) Tracking Tool

The 8th system that is needed to run your Affiliate Marketing business is the tracking system. After setting up your website, you will see visitors reading your posts, clicking buttons, clicking links, purchasing products, and so on.

Understanding the behaviour of your website’s visitors is vital to running a flourishing business.

With the help of tracking tools like Google Analytics and ClickMagick, you can easily track your website visitors’ behaviour and buying patterns. Through ClickMagick, you can keep track of how many people clicked your links, you will understand their demographics, and so on.

Inside my community, I teach how you can set up each and every system. If you want to jump in, you can click the below button, and join today itself.
