A good platform should make it easy to recruit new affiliates, facilitate their onboarding, and allow the person managing the network to communicate easily with the affiliate network.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-affiliate-network\"><\/span><span id=\"2-affiliate-network\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>#2 Affiliate network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is key for affiliate marketing software: thousands of contacts are at your fingertips. Even though in affiliate marketing, 95% of the business comes from 5% of the affiliates, the size of your directory can have a real impact on referrals and word of mouth around your business.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blocTips primary-light\">\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-lightbulb-o\"><\/i><span class=\"title is-5\">Pro tip<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By making prospecting easier for you, the software saves you time and promotes awareness of your business, even if this does not immediately affect your income.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-community-facilitation\"><\/span><span id=\"3-community-facilitation\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>#3 Community facilitation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have fewer than 25 affiliates, the partner management features are an unnecessary expense. A well-configured spreadsheet will give you the same information at no cost. But in B2B, it can be very effective once you have a lot of affiliates. The monthly reporting functions allow you to track the status of your affiliates, and motivate underperforming ones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blocTips primary-light\">\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-lightbulb-o\"><\/i><span class=\"title is-5\">Pro tip<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Software that offers this feature is often more expensive.

Think about what you want to track, how you\u2019re going to track it, and how important it is to your affiliates\u2019 earnings. The more affiliates are able to see which techniques are most effective at each stage of the customer journey, the more they will want to continue promoting your product.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-diversity-of-tracking-options\"><\/span><span id=\"5-diversity-of-tracking-options\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>#5 Diversity of tracking options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The gold standard is link-tracking \u2013 each affiliate has a custom link and conversions from that link are tracked. However, this poses a lot of problems in terms of attribution and tracking conversions. Another option is landing page tracking \u2013 each affiliate has a personalised page and conversions from that page are counted \u2013 or the use of discount coupons.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blocTips primary-light\">\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-lightbulb-o\"><\/i><span class=\"title is-5\">Pro tip<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to research the options to ensure that the platform you choose will be suitable for the developments in your programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-price-and-its-evolution\"><\/span><span id=\"6-price-and-its-evolution\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>#6 Price and its evolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Platforms generally charge by volume of clicks generated, or by volume of commissions paid. Others also charge according to the volume of affiliates, the number of programs or campaigns, etc. Depending on the model, the product(s) you are selling, and your ambitions, this can be very dimensional for the price.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-payment-and-billing-management\"><\/span><span id=\"7-payment-and-billing-management\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>#7 Payment and billing management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This can be one of the most complicated aspects of affiliate marketing.
