Your step to the Top of Internet Marketing

If you have been on the web for a while; you’ve probably signed up for a couple of affiliate programs to make an additional income from your site. Now it is a different story: It is your turn, you have a good, in demand product and you need to get your own Affiliates System up and running:

• You can go the Script way

Upload an Affiliates Script to your web hosting account, install it, configure it, administer it 24/7 and keep it in good shape (You know; PHP conflicts, Tech Support headache…), OR

• Install a simple WordPress Affiliates Plugin and be done with it

Turn Key solution;  No script, no messy code and you can administer it from your WordPress dashboard!

 Your choice should be obvious!

If you do a research on “Affiliates Plugins” you will end up with plugins that are geared for WordPress bloggers who wants to be affiliates for some product or another,  and hardly any for Affiliates Management. I found a lone Affiliates Management Plugin:
