Real time affiliate sale notifications and stats

Hi guys

I'm brand new here, just starting my affiliate marketing adventure.

In Commission Junction / Conversant, it doesn't look like you get real time alerts / notifications of your affiliate sales. And I can't find any tools out there that do this. Do you know of any 3rd party tools that offer this? ie, real time notifications of affiliate sales for CJ?

I'm a web developer and this is something that I could potentially build as a service. So my question is: would you guys be interested in this service? Maybe a user could select some or all of these:
  • send a text message in real time
  • send an email in real time
  • popup a browser notification in real time

If you are interested, would you pay for this tool? How much? $5/month? $10/month? $20/month? Please take the poll and let me know!

Any features you can think of that you would love to see in a tool like this? Simplified stats that are easier to view than the CJ Reports? Anything else?

It's just an idea at this point. But maybe if you all are interested, I'd build it.

Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!!

    I don't currentlyuse either of those networks but I used to use CJ quite a lot a few years back.

    My view is that real time notification of sales is not particularly important.

    Sure newbies like to know when the've sold something. Hey in my early days I've sat thererefreshing my screen hoping for sale....

    But you quickly get to know that that is pointless.

    More important is the traffic/conversions data that make those sales.

    I would imagine that only those making significant sales would be prepared to pay a monthly fee for such a service but I suspect they are already using TP tools to track the conversions in some way.

    That said if the programming is fairly easy and not too time consuming create something and test the market. You can always improve to V2 if it's selling.

    thanks for your opinion, Tony.

    sorry for the newbie question: what are "TP tools" you refer to? Thanks.
