6.     Custom Tools

There are all different kinds of custom tools you can create. For example, FusionHQ has an HTML tool that allows you—as a product owner—to create a  big HTML page, or create HTML based promotional tools.

You may consider shooting a video explaining the wonders of your product. Underneath the video you could put some bullets. With software you  could have a ‘Download Now’ button.

Once you’ve set all that up, you can convert all of that HTML code into a single line of JavaScript code.

Then, get your affiliates to copy that single line of JavaScript code and place it on their website. The video, bullets, download buttons (anything you’ve  put on the JavaScript) will show up on their site—all tracked with their affiliate link.

One tool I created and included on my website was a tell-a-friend form that gave a bribe for sending traffic to the affiliate’s page. Good for me and great  for my affiliates.

If you ever wanted to update the page you created, you simply log-in as the product owner, make your changes and update it.

Because your affiliates are using that single line of JavaScript code, it automatically makes those updates in all the other sites where your affiliates have  already used that code.

Other custom tools you can consider doing include text ads, blog posts and reviews—the possibilities are endless. Take note of what other affiliate  programs are doing and try the things you like.
