If you have been thinking about running an affiliate programme for your business but want to run the whole thing in house, there are a few software tools that allow you to do it.

One of major tools we are now installing and running for clients is iDevAffiliate. This tool is slightly different others in that it is web based BUT you can install it on your own server and control absolutely everything internally.

It is quick and easy to install.

It also have major options when choosing payment models, it includes :

• Percentage Pay Per Sale
• Flat Rate Pay Per sale
• Pay Per Click
• Pay Per Lead

So it really does give you a huge amount of flexibility. So you can website owners the ability to earn income by promoting your products and even services.

The other the major benefit for us, is that one installation can manage multiple sites, so if a client has two or three main product sites, one installation of this affiliate software can run and manage the whole thing.

You do this using the “Campaigns” tools section.

It also comes with a huge array of report tools and services. It can fully manage all the marketing creative and affiliate sign ups automatically. One client we have running this tool, is also using this tool to manage their own PPC Links and media buying. So in one place they can see and compare all of their marketing activity.

The other beauty is from your accounting point of view, you can set this up to pay out via PayPal, so at the push of a button each month, your affiliates will get paid. This makes your programme fully scalable. Imagine having to write out 2,000 cheques a month.

I can’t recommend this product highly enough, If you are considering running your own affiliate programme or even put your current referral business on a more controlled and measurable footing then iDevAffiliate is the tool for you.
