Too many affiliate vendor signups.

Hi.

I am having trouble thinking about how to manage all the affiliate vendors I have signed up to.

It would be nice to just sign up to a affiliate network and manage all vendors' commissions from there. But sometimes, the good products or services can't be found in the affiliate network. There are lots of great offers with private affiliate programs.

So, if I sign up with lots of such vendors, how can I keep track of the earnings and performances? Is there a software to help us handle all the accounts from one place?
How do you handle it?

Thanks. Your suggestions are very much appreciated

    What about viglink? in many cases the payout can be higher than if you were to sign up with the affiliate directly.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    When it comes to affiliate marketing it`s better to focus on promoting one product.
    This is just my opinion...

    Start by learning your niche, and find products that can serve the market. If you know your niche exactly you will know which products to promote and from there you can bookmark each affiliate program. Signing up for too many program can lead to many distractions and ultimately getting you no where. You don't necessarily need a bunch of affiliate programs in order to be successful with affiliate marketing just a successful product.

      My suggestion is to just setup your marketing funnel and align those affiliate offers in coordination with one general theme. Then all you will need to do is worry about your marketing funnel. There is really not much to manage on the affiliate side...all you need to do wait for the paychecks to come in.


      Hope that helps...

    I'm not aware of any software that does that. Your best bet may simply be to enter the information manually into a spreadsheet (Excel or equivalent). The upfront work will take some time but once everything is entered, you just have to update.

    I use Scrivener to keep things like that organized.

    Thanks for the suggestions everybody.

    I think I'll just promote one or two affiliate products so that I can manage them easily.
    I get distracted with every new good looking affiliate products though . Guess I'll have to do without getting distracted with too many shiny objects

    Thanks again.
