If you have just started with affiliate marketing or if you have



been working with affiliate programs for a while, you probably

know that things can add up and can get really expensive.

Therefore I have thought about some free quality resources that

will help you in your journey to success, resources that I like

to use.

Lets take a look at them:

1. FTP Tools.

----------------

Those tools will help you make quick and easy changes to your site:

RightFTp: http://www.right-soft.com/downloads

And my favorite, FileZilla: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net

I specially like this last one, its very easy to use and it

looks very professional.

2. Keyword Research Tool.

---------------------------------

This step is vital when youre trying to measure the interest of a certain niche.

Below you can find a tool that you can download at no cost:

Another tool is the one you can find at:

http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools

(Under keyword suggestion)

I like it because it gives you keyword suggestions from both

Wordtracker and Overture.

3. Generate Your Own Signatures.

-------------------------------------------

4. Web HTML Editor.

-------------------------

Well, below you can find some quality resources:

And the one I like the most is: Nvu, just go to:

5. Web Statistics.

----------------------

To know where your visitors are coming from and how many people are visiting your site each day, I recommend:

Statcounter: http://www.statcounter.com and

Sitemeter: http://www.sitemeter.com

Between Statcounter and Sitemeter I like Sitemeter the most, but of course you have to try them and make your best decision, anyway, they are both free, so actually you have nothing to lose.

6. Need to Download Zip Files?

Always useful...

Endless possibilities:

8. Audio Tools.

With this tool you can record and edit audio files:

Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net

9. Spyware tools.

----------------------

Remember always to protect your computer these days, check out the following options:

10. Dont know how to set up your web site?

----------------------------------------------------------

I recommend you to start by taking a look at some of the free tutorials I show you below:

A good tutorial can always be useful.

You really learn a lot from them, I did.

design tutorials:

As I said earlier, if you are just starting out or have been

working for a while with affiliate programs, you can really save

some money using the free resources outlined.

When you have earned some money, you can reinvest and start using some of the paying options out there.

But, there is no problem in using those quality resources, for

example I am still using the free FTP tool "FileZilla" as I find

it very easy to use.

I know how it feels if you are working on a shoestring

budget...., and even if that is not your case I am sure you are

going to enjoy this resources.

Remember, as they say: "The best things in life are free"...
