In just under 4 minutes, this podcast is all about the different affiliate systems available, from third party to inhouse solutions. Software and solutions mentioned:
Hosted Affiliate Systems
Clickbank – only does digital goods
Shareasale – will do both digital and physical goods and works slightly differently – it's a pre-paid system
Digital River – popular with software products
MyAffiliateProgram
Affiliate Scripts
Groundbreak Affiliate System
iDevAffiliate – I've used this and it's quite good for one off purchases. If you're handing subscription or recurring commissions, I suggest you do not use it even though it's capable of it – but I found the recurring commissions confusing.
Third Party Affiliate Systems
PayDotCom – I use this too. Point and click easy
1ShoppingCart – The best, can be quite a learning curve
ThirdSphere – Get it all in one
