What is the easiest way(technological) to sell reports/products online?

I am a very experienced affiliate marketer(10y+ - not in IM niche) and I want to start creating own products. What I have a problem with is to find an easy setup that allows me to(about every single product about this that I checked out had a sales letter instead of actually showing the features, screenshots and a demo of how it works):

- setup as many products as I want to sell from unlimited number of domains
- support both products and recurring memberships
- be self hosted and if not to allow easy exporting of all the data so I don't get stuck in some proprietary system. I don't mind the need for a developer for implementation if I want to move I just want to have the option.
- I would prefer something based on Wordpress
- affiliate program - preferably something like digiresults where I can offer 100% to the affs but also have the option for lifetime commission and to offer commission for all future products
- easy to use already made sales pages, squeezes....
- newsletter, sales funnel...
- support more than paypal so users are not forced to pay that way
- any other stuff you think will be helpful but I ommited

I don't look for an all in one solution and I am happy to use as many separate products as needed. Cost is not an issue either so looking for best and easiest to use.

If your solution will help me I will be happy to use your affiliate links. Feel free to self promote own products and why I should use them in my mix.

    Wealthy Affiliate University has most of what you described above. (I'm a former member.)
    They have a wordpress tool that can create websites in a flash, but they are hosted by them, so I don't know how useful that is to you. They also charge $97 monthly.

    Have you looked at Amember? It is self hosted and does most of what you mentioned in your post.

    If you want a free wordpress plugin, I would recommend s2Member... it will allow you to maintain members at different subscription levels allowing to deliver them different content.

    cheers,
    Simon

    My first thought was the Profits Theme, since it uses WordPress and does a lot of the things you mentioned, however I re-read what you wrote, and I think Rapid Action Profits with some of the Plugins you can buy with it will suit you better. RAP has a build in easy-to-use affiliate system, and I've purchased a plugin to take care of recurrent memberships (although I now use Profits Theme for that part).

    They offer a plugin which makes the whole thing very easy to use on WordPress, and you can also get a "sales window", which shows each of your products with a short blurb, leading to the sales page.

    If this is of any use for you, I have an affiliate link to RAP. Just let me know, and I'll PM you, since - as far as I remember - we are not allowed to write affiliate links here.

    I say e-junkie.com or amember.com. Both will do what you are looking for.

      Darren I actually spent some good time yesterday checking the Profits Theme and was probably going to get it with your bonuses but the Profits Theme thread on WF has become a joke. I did not want to post there but since you replied here I thought I give my 0.02 on the matter. As you despise Kajabi for locking all data on their system(which IMO should keep everyone who cares about their business away from using their system) í have no idea how you find appropriate to give funny answers or endorse product owners who don't want to clarify the "call homes"of their applications when everyone is asking about it. It's been some time now since this has been asked and they don't seem to care about their customer concerns which is another reason to keep customers away.

      It is ok to call home and for them to protect their work but once you verify your domain it should stop there. This has nothing to do with their credibility it's about the fact that a smart marketer doesn't want to put his business into someone else hands when there is no need to.

        So you dont like Profits Theme is that what your saying HAHAHAHA! Hey if that concerns you then you dont use it. Me? As I said in that thread I am not going to sweat that and keep going. Welly about as much cares about your "business" as an alien from the planet (name planet here) .

        Your call highly suspicious one I guess james at OP is also the enemy part of the plan to take over everyones sites.

    You are completely missing the point but hey you got the chance to stick your signature in one more thread. Don't call me suspicious when you are the only one who has an interest in the matter.


    I think you should read my thread again, there is no place where I said I don't like the theme. I don't like the lack of transparency in the matter of call homes and I am not the only one with this concern and this alone is a deal breaker for me and should be for everyone that cares. It is one thing to explain how often, what info is sent and why is done and people to decide if they care or not and there is another matter to completely ignore everyone who asks for this.
