The programs I have listed here are basically things I use, have used or I am familiar with and comfortable enough with, to recommend them.

These programs are either Free, Paid or Free with a Paid Option.
Some of these are hard to put into any one category since they offer different things.

Instead of listing the same things repeatedly in different categories, I am going to list them onetime.

Promoting your Website, Business or Product

Sage Runner
This is my Website and is similar to Googles Adsense/Adwords Programs, without the high cost and competition.


Business World List
This is one of those Safe lists where you can send your promotions through their mailing system. I would recommend you use an email dedicated just for this program.

Myself and some of my other Affiliates have made some ebook sales to people on this list, so this might be worth a try for you.

Marketplaces, Selling and Promoting Products

Paydotcom
I joined these guys back when they first started and like all new programs, it took me a while to warm up to them. I started as free member and eventually upgraded.

Now, I have about 700 people signed up to sell my products and between them and the Marketplace, my products generate sales every month.

Free members can sell one product, upgrade and it doesn't matter how many you list. This is also a great place to find products to sell.

Click2sell
This site is fairly new and similar to Paydotcom, but with a much lower cost.
You can also promote several products without having to upgrade.

Shareasale
This is one of the largest Affiliate network systems on the internet, something like #4.

This is a great place to find Affiliate Products to sell. The Merchants provide more Marketing Tools, Resources and help, then any other program I have seen.

Currently, I am promoting over 100 merchants primarily on the Adsense sites, some on Sage Runner and I have a few Websites dedicated to others

I am also generating sales.

ClickBank
I saved this one for last. I read things all thing where people recommend you find products to sell, if you want to get started with Affiliate Marketing.

Really, I don't recommend this as a place to start. The fees can be higher and they have some requirements that have to be met before paying commissions to you.

If you are just starting out and have a tough time making sales, then you may have a tough time meeting the requirements resulting in a loss of your commissions.

If you are looking for products to sell, I recommend you look here last.

Autoresponders, email and Lists

iContact
The is the system I use for adding subscribers and sending out all my emails.

You will see all kinds of autoresponders being promoting and they all claim to be the best. They all basically do the same thing, it's the differences that set them apart.

The one huge benefit of iContact is that you have the option of listing and archiving your messages in their Community listings, which does get picked up by Google and feedreaders

There are many other benefits to using them and since I am seriously in love with this system, I can't really recommend anything else.

Triple Your List
There are a lot of list building Websites around, but this is a little different.
All you have to do is sign up and they will send you about 3 double optin leads a week.

The leads may not be the greatest in the World and you'll end up loosing most through attrition or bounces, but there will be some live ones in the bunch.

This is a good place to start building a list and practicing your email promotions.
Use a separate email when signing up.

Affiliate/Membership Software

JAM
I've bought and used several different software programs, making all kinds of claims. Usually what I find is they are clumsy to use and don't perform like they should.

The people who make this software, do this for a living. They aren't some Marketer who decided to create something to sell to people to use.

This is the same software that my Affiliate Program and Membership Site and it does oh so many things.
Absolutely, hands down, the best you can get.

The software is free to use, up to the first 50 users you sign up, after that it's $250.
If you sign up to download the software, they give an OTO offer to buy at a greatly reduced price. Half off, I think?

There is also a payment plan option.
