One of extra benefits of having an affiliate program is that you gain access to all of your affiliates, and are then able to make additional offers to them, either to sell them products directly, or offer new affiliate opportunities as you create them.

Clickbank offers a great system for managing any affiliate program that is based on a digitally delivered product or service (ebooks, auto-responders etc.) For a low fee of $49, they take care of EVERYTHING from credit card processing, to real-time tracking, to affiliate payouts. Clickbank also has a HUGE and active body of affiliates ready to take on your products. The only problem is that you don't have direct access to contact information of these affiliates. However, it is quite possible to get this information from them by simply making your 'join my affiliate program' web page behind an email collection form.

What you do is make potential affiliate request affiliate sign-up page location from an autoresponder. This does two things, it filters out people who simply want a discount off your product, and gives you contact information of serious affiliates.

Another rising star is payloadz. They are based on paypal, which has almost 20,000,000 active users. The great thing about payloadz is that they have entire system secured against link theft, a common problem with paypal links. Unlike many systems that claim to protect your links by encrypting link (e.g. Linkcloaker), payloadz puts all information into a database and creates a completely new link that is 100% secure. I'm not knocking link cloakers, they are very valuable, and can save you thousands in lost commissions - they are simply not 100% foolproof (and most good ones like affiliate link cloaker will admit that).

The entire process of setting up a product for sale with payloadz takes about 3 minutes. Once this is done, you can use link anywhere. They also have a very robust affiliate program manager that lets you build your affiliate selling force quickly and easily. Finally, because they are based on paypal, you benefit from a well known name, and a huge user base.

Regardless of what kind of business you manage on web, you should seriously consider developing viral traffic strategies as part of your overall marketing strategy. Once they are in place, properly developed viral tools will continue to drive free traffic to your site for years. A little investment of your time in beginning will result in great value in long term.
