Free Affiliate Management Software? Anybody use any of these, successfully?

Recommended Posts

I'm experimenting with setting up my own affiliate program. Since I'm not sure if it will work for me (my products are just tutorials) I don't want to sink any money into it. I have an idea for how to do this from scratch--free and easy--but I need to be sure it will work, first, and be worth doing. I'd love to hear from any of you who have had experience setting up your own affiliate programs--especially free or cheap--since those are the ones that would be my competition if I can develop my own and make it fly.TIA,Suz

Dude, you don't need any affiliation software - just make your own. It's really easy, and I'll show you how with a little PHP.

1. First, make a file called af.php (short for affiliates).
2. In af.php, type in the HTML code that will include your affiliate's URLs:

af.php:

<a href="http://site1.com"><img src="site1.gif" alt="site1"></a><a href="http://site2.com"><img src="site2.gif" alt="site2"></a>...

Just keep adding to af.php once you get new affiliates.
3. To actually make this show in your pages, include the following code where ever you want your affiliates' buttons/URLs to show:
<?php include(/home/yourcpanelloginname/www/af.php) ?>
Change yourcpanelloginname to your cPanel login name.
4. Finally, upload af.php to the root of your directory - inside public_html and not any folder deeper than that.

That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Good luck!
