Ask Shawn Collins: Affiliate Manager Tools

by on April 6, 2006

I am a new affiliate manager, and I don’t know where to start. How can I get on the fast track to running my affiliate program?

Recently, I put out a list of the tools and services I use to power my online marketing business. Those were general listings of things that could help any affiliate or affiliate manager.

But there are also a host of resources that are specific to affiliate managers. Below are my tools of the trade (of the top of my head).
