Affiliate earnings estimate calculators
Written by Brenda Zhang
Highlights:
Every tool page now has a dynamically generated affiliate program earnings calculator! Here's an example. It's super cool because it gives you an estimate of how much you'd earn per month or year based on the tool's actual pricing plans and commission rate.
The calculators being dynamically generated means I can easily have as many calculators on the site as I have programs regardless of the tools' pricing structure and commission structure!
As my next improvement to the calculators, I also want to add commission structure to the calculation. Some programs give recurring while others limit your commission to a certain number of months of a user's lifetime on the tool, so I'd love to factor that in.
As my next next improvement, I want to add a more intense earnings estimate calculator to the Free Tools section of the site that I haven't used yet. As usual, more to come...
More stuff I did:
Added 50 affiliate programs to the affiliate programs collection! There's way more to come (just like with the tools, I have a huge backlog of data to get through).
As I mentioned last time, I added subcategories to all the tools, which show up in the tool pages, but now they are also filtered on when a category is clicked in the tool directory.
Added the same ending footer and CTA as are in the blog posts to the tool pages so more people gib me their emails.
Minor things you wouldn't care much about but I do:
- Tweaked the category list, tweaked some styles (I don't even remember what exactly I did), and added more blog posts from my wonderful writing team!
