Personal Affiliate Programs

If you don't want to rely on other company's hosting or service, then you can always purchaseyour own Affiliate program and use it for your online business. This way you will save a lot of fees as most programs come as a standalone system and need no maintenance.

1. JROX

This is perhaps one of the most remarkable tools that an online marketer can possess. You KNOW you need to recruit affiliates - well this tool will become your best friend by setting up your program and making it work for you !

You can download your own FREE Version today - exactly the same as the Unlimited version, except that you can only take 50 affiliates.

This program runs on your own server/hosting, and has the ability to use multiple payment gateways.

Use JROX to pay commissions in three ways: 1) Pay Per Click, 2) Pay Per Lead, and 3) Pay Per Sale.

JROX can handle membership site payments on your own domain, or on remote domains. It is perhaps the most user friendly and current affiliate management program on the market - but it will take you some time to understand it completely.

The main benefit is that your download pages can be 100% protected using JROX's unique clocking system - so people can't "broadcast and download" your product pages across the internet. And forget about troublesome "serial refunders" - you can set up the system to block anyone that has requested a refund, indefinitely !

This is the system that I thoroughly recommend, as it comes with a 2-tier (or even up to 10 tiers if you wish !) structure to pay your affiliate downlines. And you won't pay any more for product development after you purchase.

2. Affiliate Trail

This is a very professional affiliate system that most of the more "marketable" product owners are using. It's not ususally seen in the hands of "smaller" marketers - only serious marketers.

For this reason the system is seen to be very powerful, and is able to handle both simple and complex situations. A payment choice of either PayPal (boo-hoo!) or International Cheque is available to your affiliates.

3. Fantasos

If you want to take an "engineering approach" to your own affiliate program, then look no further than Fantasos.

Created by legendary internet marketer and software designer John Delavera, who incidentally created a ton more software products here), Fantasos is John's jewel in the crown when it comes to creating and maintaining an affiliate system designed for marketers on the move !

The main method of paying affiliates is through PayPal but you can issue your own International Cheques if you wish. The only negative to this system is that there is a $100/year maintenance fee - used to continue the development of the platform and provide for upgrades and updates. You get 1 whole year of free upgrades when you purchase.

4. Butterfly Marketing Script

This is not an ordinary affiliate program. Actually, it's not just an affiliate program.

It's a complete system that can transform your online business model. I'm an owner of the software myself - and having spent some time inside the Admin section, I've found so many features that it's hard to describe how good it is to use.

With the Butterfly Marketing Script you can set up different levels of affiliate referral commissions (for instance, pay some marketers higher than others) by setting up different access levels.

You can also set up different payment processors, so you're not totally dependant on PayPal (a feature that I love of course ...)

There is also a built in help desk, and the support for this program is nothing short of fantastic. With the support forum and many other people now operating BFM (Butterfly Marketing) sites, you will always have the ability to get help when or if you need it.

The site is built so you can take your customers through a very personal sales experience. The price is not for the faint hearted, however if you're a serious marketer you'll be glad you invested in the system.
