The best AI productivity tools of 2024 are revolutionizing the way we work. Discover which AI tools are leading the way and how they can significantly enhance your productivity and effectiveness in affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing has come a long way in the last few years, but the biggest change in the industry is happening right now. Of course, we all know about it, it's artificial intelligence!
This new technology has enabled many people to join the industry and become proficient, learn more, and adapt quicker to changes in the industry. To be frank, AI has revolutionized a lot of sectors in the industry.
All of this development left us with a plethora of free and paid tools that utilize some sort of machine learning and algorithms to help affiliates in one way or another, and today, we will try and gather some of the best ones you should be using in 2024!
What is AI and How Did it Change Affiliate Marketing?
First, let's start with the basics, what even is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to an improved way of programming software where it learns from examples and uses what it learns to improve its code and adapt to new challenges. Programmers usually call this machine learning, but most of us call it AI as it sounds more interesting.
This technology encompasses various capabilities such as ML, natural language processing, and computer vision. AI systems can analyze large datasets, identify patterns, make decisions, and even predict future trends with a level of precision and speed that is often far higher than regular human ones.
The only problem with it is that it's still just a program and most of the things that AI does are detectable as AI, as it's not yet good enough to be a proper replacement for humans in any field, though this is coming closer and closer!
AI's Transformation of Affiliate Marketing
In recent years, AI has significantly impacted affiliate marketing, introducing new tools and methods that have revolutionized how affiliate marketers approach their strategies.
1. Enhanced Personalization
AI tools have enabled new levels of personalization in marketing. By analyzing customer data, AI can predict individual preferences and behaviors, allowing affiliate marketers to personalize their content and offers more effectively to their audience. This leads to higher engagement, click-through rates, and conversions.
2. Predictive Analytics
AI-driven predictive analytics tools can predict trends and consumer behaviors by examining past and current data. Affiliate marketers can use these insights to anticipate trends, adjust their strategies, and stay ahead of the competition.
3. Improved SEO and Content Creation
AI tools like ChatGPT have revolutionized content creation, making producing high-quality, SEO-optimized content easier. These tools can generate articles, blog posts, and even social media content, saving time while improving the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
4. Efficient Campaign Management
AI has automated many aspects of campaign management, from tracking and reporting to optimization. These tools can analyze campaign performance in real time, suggesting adjustments to maximize ROI. The automation allows affiliate marketers to manage multiple campaigns efficiently and scale their efforts more effectively.
5. Chatbots for Enhanced Customer Interaction
AI chatbots like GPT, Bard, Llama, or Grok have become an essential tool in affiliate marketing. They provide instant customer support, answer queries, and even assist in the shopping process. By providing a great customer experience, chatbots help in building trust and loyalty, which are crucial for successful affiliate campaigns.
What Are The AI Tools You Should Be Using?
We talked about what these tools are, but what are the best tools that every affiliate should use? Well, before starting it's important to note that AI works best with content and management of content. So most of the best AI tools are content-related and the list reflects that, but some do offer other things. But let's get to the tools first!
Lumen5
This is a platform that helps create videos and variations of videos on a big scale. This app started as a regular online editor, but recently they introduced neutral language processing and machine learning features that allow the tool to create and analyze text, and turn it into voiceovers, video scenes, and visual content.
With this tool, you can double or triple your creative output, while keeping the quality at a good level. It's a huge timesaver, especially if you don't have a team of editors that can push out the content you need.
The pricing on Lumen5 is good as well. You can start for free with some basic templates and capabilities, but if you want to experience everything the app offers, you will have to spend upwards of $29/mo! Even if you spend a lot more, it's still going to be cheaper, faster, and better than the cheapest video editor!
ChatGPT
Everyone already knows about ChatGPT. It's the first AI assistant to make a huge impact in the industry. What most people miss about it is that it offers so much more features than just writing text. One of the best features of GPT is locked behind the $20/mo paywall, and that's the capability to access the web and code in any language.
With these two upgrades, you can tell it to create custom tools that you can host on your server, and that can help you increase your productivity and output tenfold. Some of our friends in the business reported that ChatGPT managed to build incredible web apps that find and manage keywords, create links, modify tracking parameters, and analyze data that is being sent through tracking tools.
With all of these features, you can see why this AI can be so much more than a simple text generator! But, while we are mentioning text generation, it's still the best tool for creating custom content. Funny enough, we think that the GPT 3.5 model works better than the 4.0 one, but that is up to change based on updates that OpenAI makes to its tool!
Tapfiliate
If content is not an issue you are facing, but you would like to upgrade your tracking, Tapfiliate is the tool for you. This tool utilizes ML models to help businesses and affiliates create, track, and optimize their affiliate programs and campaigns.
It is more geared toward business owners who are setting up their affiliate programs. The tool helps combine affiliate, influencer, and referral programs, it helps track everything, and optimize where possible. With it, you can find and onboard affiliates, track their results, and manage payments and percentages in real time!
Pricing starts at $59/mo, but there are other models available on their website that might fit you better!
GetResponse
If email marketing tools are something you need, you can't go wrong with GetResponse! They are a leading email marketing platform that is focused on serving businesses, affiliates, regular users, and much more!
The team behind this tool has been innovating for years to stay ahead of the curb, but with the rise of AI, they have done something new. They utilized machine learning algorithms to simplify campaigns immensely. Now you can create entire push notifications, emails, landing pages, and websites, from scratch, by just answering a couple of questions.
The AI does everything else, leaving you with a finished product at the end of the day. If AI is not your thing, then they can still offer to help you with landers, SMS marketing, eCommerce integration, templates, analytics, and more.
The pricing varies immensely depending on how long you want to sign up for and how big your list size is. The smallest tier starts at $11/mo, but it can go up to $999 if you need an enterprise solution.
ElevenLabs and PlayHT
If you create content in various languages, then you know how hard finding the right voice actors and narrators for your videos can be. Luckily, the AI revolution has brought a fix to this entirely!
These two apps work the same way (the only difference is language availability, voices, and price). They use Machine learning to train voice models to speak in various languages and accents convincingly.
Both of them offer a selection of available languages (PlayHT has a bigger selection, though ElevenLabs has more natural voices) that you can just write your text in, and the AI will generate a voice file with it being narrated in the language of your choice.
ElevenLabs even offers a dubbing option, in which you can upload any video in a few languages, then EL analyzes it, translates the text, and narrates in the same voice and same timings, so you get a near-perfect dub!
Both of them are free to use in the beginning, so try them out! You won't regret it for sure!
Conclusion
AI tools are something that every affiliate should get used to. They can be a huge help in streamlining things and saving you time, money, and energy so you can focus on doing the things that matter.
If you decide that you don't want to use any AI in your campaigns, that's fine, just make a note that you could be doing twice or more the output you do right now with a little help. That means you can test more things out and find bigger and better niches to run!
All of these tools are just scratching the surface of the iceberg, and we are sure that AI will replace a huge part of running and optimizing campaigns in the future! So stay informed and use the newest and best tools as soon as they are available to stay ahead in the game!
