7 Best Affiliate Marketing Tools for 2012

7 Best Affiliate Marketing Tools for 2012
By Adam Shord

Technology is always changing, so an article on the best affiliate marketing tools written in 2007 isn't necessarily going to reflect what's best today. There's also an incredible abundance of affiliate marketing tools available and new ones are coming out every day. To stay current with all the trends I joined a low-cost coaching program that includes the latest and greatest tools, and provides step-by-step instructional videos on how to use them. This really is the way to go. In this business staying on the cutting edge really can mean the difference between success and failure. The top 7 affiliate marketing tools available today are:

1. Website Builders allow you quickly and easily launch high-quality, SEO friendly websites, even if you have no experience at all. Knowledge of HTML and other such coding is no longer necessary.

2. Market Profilers are an amazing new tool designed to speed up and simplify the market selection process. To use this tool, you simply plug in market specific information and the software assigns the market a score based on different indicators. The higher the score, the greater your chance of success within a given niche.

3. Keyword Research Tools simplify a once tedious and time-consuming endeavor. This tool will help you select appropriate keywords for your market, and analyze the level of competition you would face for each given keyword. It will also tell you how many searches are performed for the given keyword, and what the average CPC is for the given keyword, and all at the click of a mouse!

4. Sales Letter Wizards are great for people who don't have a lot of sales experience. They provide a fill-in-the-blank template with proven sales copy that you can customize to meet your needs.

5. Newsletter Creators are similar to the Sales Letter Wizards, only they're designed to simplify the newsletter writing process. Newsletters can be intimidated for those of us who don't have the "gift of gab;" Newsletter Creators make things easier by providing a fill in the blank framework.

6. Auto-Responder Services equal increased sales on autopilot. When someone visits your site, and signs up for your newsletter, auto-responders will make sure they get your newsletter automatically on the days and times you pre-select. Throw in an extra sales letter in between newsletters, and watch your sales increase.

7. Affiliate Marketing Training Sites are not new, but they are better than ever. The good ones stay up to date on all of the newest software and techniques, and they implement them right into their training. Ever since video load times have decreased, the number of video training sites has increased. Watching somebody construct a profitable website start to finish in a video is darn near as good as having them sit next to you and walk you through the process.

Affiliate marketing tools make things easier and speed things up. If you're new, they can even accomplish things that you yourself could not do. They'll analyze markets and keywords; create newsletters and design webpages, and all at the click of a mouse. Training is the most important tool of all. Everything mentioned above can be done without software, but only if you've had the training to do it.
