Affiliate Marketing Tools and Resources

It's easy for any new affiliate to be overwhelmed by the number of tools and resources out there to help you succeed.

I frequently get asked what affiliate marketing tools I personally use, so here's a list of what I use daily to be successful with affiliate marketing.

I'll update this page frequently, so be sure to bookmark it for reference when you're looking for a specific tool or resource for your affiliate marketing business.

Tracking

πŸ‘‰Β FunnelFlux Pro - My number #1 tracker that I use. It’s cloud-hosted and has by far the best pricing of anything in the industry. Use my link for 50% off for the first 6 months.

πŸ‘‰ Binom - My favorite self-hosted tracker. Completely oriented toward affiliates, but the downside is you have to host it on your own server.

πŸ‘‰ BeMob - Good tracker to get started. The interface is like Voluum and is also cloud-hosted. They have a completely free plan, which makes it the best option for newbies on a tight budget.

πŸ‘‰ Google Analytics - Essential for tracking user behavior in white-hat pay per call or lead generation campaigns where a click tracker isn't necessary or shouldn't be used.

πŸ‘‰ Google Tag Manager - The best tool for implementing site-wide analytics, scripts, or other tracking into your lead generation website.

Affiliate Networks

πŸ‘‰ ClickDealer - Very reputable affiliate network; one of my favorite networks for direct sweepstakes offers, but they have direct offers in many other verticals as well.

πŸ‘‰ Traffic Company - Awesome network for carrier billing offers. Fast payouts, high-end AMs, and direct-link-friendly offers. They even have their own in-house offers that you won't find on any other networks.

πŸ‘‰ Mobidea - Affiliate network that's focused mostly on carrier billing offers, but they do have some sweepstakes offers as well. This network is great because they give you access to data about each offer so you can easily craft a campaign with the most effective targeting to find a winner.

πŸ‘‰ Golden Goose - Focused on MVAS offers (carrier billing) in the CIS region, but they do have some offers outside that region. Very low minimum payout, pays daily, and has high-quality offers.

πŸ‘‰ Monetizer - My #1 network to send traffic to that doesn't meet my offer requirements.

πŸ‘‰Β Zeydoo - Very good quality offers in many verticals. Very reliable network.

Landing Page Monetization

πŸ‘‰ ProPush - The BEST network to use to collect push subscribers on your landing pages. They are monetized automatically for you and pay significantly more than other options...

Forums

πŸ‘‰ AffLift - Very affordable CPA affiliate forum started by Luke Kling. Very active. Quality content. Recommended for beginners.

πŸ‘‰ STM Forum - Previously known as Stack That Money. Hands down the best affiliate forum you can join. Learn directly from 7-figure super affiliates.

Spy Tools

πŸ‘‰ Anstrex - They have both a native spy tool and a push notification ads spy tool. This is my favorite tool currently for spying on push notification campaigns. Use code 'NickL' to save 20% off any subscription.

πŸ‘‰ AdPlexity - Probably the best spy tool you can have for CPA marketing. They have different versions for Mobile, Desktop, Native, E-commerce, and Carrier offers. Use code 'Nick' for $50 off (lifetime discount) any of their products.

Hosting

πŸ‘‰ Amazon Web Services - Very affordable solution (free for the first year) to host CPA landing pages. Follow this guide to get set up with S3 + Cloudfront for super fast landing pages.

πŸ‘‰ Instapage - Landing page builder and hosting. Great for when you need good-looking landing pages with forms. Good for traffic sources like Google and Facebook (not suitable for PPV traffic).

Landing Page Tools

πŸ‘‰ Jarvis - An amazing copywriting assistant that can help you write copy for literally anything. It can make headlines, descriptions, write full blog posts, emails, and a whole lot more.

πŸ‘‰ PureLander - Landing page builder made specifically for CPA affiliate marketing. Build high-converting landing pages fast. See my review here.

πŸ‘‰ VSCODE - My new favorite code editing tool for HTML/CSS/JS/Python/etc.

πŸ‘‰ DirtyMarkup - Quickly format landing page code so you can read it to make necessary changes (great for ripped landing pages).

πŸ‘‰ HTMLCompressor - Reduce the size of your HTML, CSS, and javascript to make your landing pages load faster.

πŸ‘‰ BrowserStack - Check if your landing pages are loading correctly on all different types of devices.

πŸ‘‰ Kraken - Dramatically improve your landing page's load time by optimizing and compressing images.

πŸ‘‰ GTmetrix - Check how fast your landing pages are loading and identify any major issues.

Email Marketing

πŸ‘‰ ActiveCampaign - My favorite tool for building an email list.

πŸ‘‰Β Aweber - Affiliate friendly ESP. Usable with risky verticals, like online casinos.

Design Tools

πŸ‘‰ Photopea - Almost exactly like Adobe Photoshop, but free and completely web-based (no software to download).

πŸ‘‰ Remove.bg - Free tool to remove the background from an image with people in it. Speeds up the time it takes to make creatives for campaigns.

Other Tools & Resources

πŸ‘‰ PeakConversion - Statistical significance split test calculator.

πŸ‘‰ DynamicYield - Another Bayesian A/B split test calculator with a much nicer UI.
