Everything I use to run this site and my affiliate business. I only list tools I've personally used — nothing here is recommended purely for commission. Affiliate links are marked.
If you found the site through an older promo or download link, these are the updated replacements I recommend starting with now.
The AI model I use most for drafting affiliate content. Better long-form prose quality than GPT-4o in my testing. $20/month. See Claude vs ChatGPT comparison ?
For current product pricing (web browsing), code generation, and image generation via DALL—E 3. $20/month. Pairs with Claude in my workflow.
The SEO tool I use most. Keyword Explorer, Content Gap, Rank Tracker. Starter plan at $29/month. See full SEO tools breakdown ?
Content Editor scores every article against top-ranking competition before I publish. I don't publish without running Surfer on it. $89/month.
The most important SEO tool on this list and it's completely free. Tracks every keyword you rank for, click-through rates, and crawl issues. Set this up before anything else.
Free tier for personal projects. Instant deployments from GitHub. The best hosting option for Next.js-based affiliate sites. See Vercel vs Netlify ?
This site runs on GitHub Pages. Completely free for public repositories. If you're running a static HTML site without a framework, it's hard to beat free + reliable.
Free DNS management, DDoS protection, and a surprisingly useful analytics tool that doesn't require cookie consent banners. I put every domain on Cloudflare.
My first stop when looking for affiliate programs in the SaaS / B2B software space. Hosts hundreds of programs in one place. Free to join as a partner.
Impact hosts affiliate programs for larger consumer and SaaS brands. Strong dashboard, reliable tracking, good program variety.
I use Make.com to automate content brief generation, distribution workflows, and revenue aggregation across affiliate networks. Free tier is generous. See my automation workflow ?
I use Wise to receive affiliate commissions from US networks via ACH (gives you a real US routing number and account number). Holds balances in 50+ currencies. Converts at the real mid-market rate with a small transparent fee — not the 3—5% spread banks hide in the exchange rate. Free to open. See the full payment setup guide ?
