Affiliate Software
It's been a while since I posted here. I have been involved with affiliate marketing since January now and in that time I've learned a lot. I've not earned a lot (some $600 from Amazon) but I put this mostly down to niche and product selection.
As a web developer I have found that using Wordpress is great for building affiliate sites, but it's not perfect - it's a blogging platform. Building complete custom platforms, however, is time intensive and not for everybody due to technical knowledge restraints.
In light of this realisation I have decided to write my own affiliate platform. An installable CMS which will allow people to create their own sites relatively quickly, and add products in an online-store fashion. It will also allow users to add articles and link these to products.
Before I build this, I would LOVE to get some ideas of what you want from your affiliate sites. What do you want from Wordpress which Wordpress cannot do? Do you have any ideas which are not often explored? Essentially I want this thread to be a wish list for affiliate marketers - within reason of course!
Thanks very much in advance, I will be giving away free review copies after development.
