Affiliate Tools

Domain Registrars

Name.com (www.name.com)
Everyone has their own favourite registrar, and for me it’s Name.com. The purchasing process is quick and simple, all domains come with free privacy settings and the price is lower than you’ll find in most other places too.

Content Management Systems

Joomla (www.joomla.org)
Joomla is a powerful open source CMS system employed by a number of gaming affiliates. The software is free to use and has the support of a large community who reguarly develop paid and free plugins for the system.

Wordpress (www.wordpress.org)
Wordpress is probably the most user-friendly CMS out there, which has meant it has enjoyed huge popularity recently. The software is installed quickly and content can be added easily meaning that content can be put on a domain in a matter of minutes

Email Marketing

Aweber (www.aweber.com)
When it comes to building and communicating with mailing lists, then Aweber seems to be the leading choice. A user friendly backend, no limit on the number of mails you can send and an introductory price of just $1 for the first month.

Video Editing Software

Screenflow – If you’re looking for budget video software for the Mac, I can recommend Screenflow. Reasonably priced (with a free download to make sure you’re happy), the software is primarily designed to record activity directly from your laptop, but also includes an editing suite which contains basic tools to help you get your video up on YouTube without a fuss.
