Optional Modules
is designed to be extensible. Already in the pipeline
are the following optional extensions:
- ezAffiliates: Create your own affiliate network and go viral by
turing your satisfied customers into your advertising affiliatees. This
package, built on the pubicly available Affiliates-for-All, integrates
perfectly with to automate affiliate sales tracking and commission
computation and more.
- ezReports: Maximize your sales by analyzing your sales. This
reporting package makes slicing and dicing your sales and affiliate data
a snap, so that you can spot opportunities.
- ezTextLinks: Do you have a high page-rank site? Do you get a lot of
requests for text links? They can be significantly more lucrative (by a
factor of 100, in my case) than contextual ads such as AdSense. The
returns can be even greater if you can deal with your advertisers
directly, rather than via providers like Text Link Ads that take 50% of
your revenue. ezTextLinks will handle payment, activate and expire
links, send reminder emails and handle renewals etc.
- ezSupport: Every complex software project, once deployed, generates
significant support load. Most of the support questions are frivilous,
where the end-user presents silly issues that are easily resolved by a
cursory look at the documentation. How do we ask the end-user to RTFM
without antagonizing them? I found that it could be done by switching to
a paid support model. I started charging 95 cents per support questions,
and my support load went down by two orders o magnitude. This ezSupport
package is built on the excellent osTicket program. It works hand in
hand with and provides you with a configurable support
system.
- PageSales: Another project built on is a
WordPress plugin to sell your blog pages in nicely fromatted
printable PDF files. Page Sales, when priced right, can be a perfect
way for your appreciative readers to send you donations.
Note that these extensions are designed to work with Standalone Pro version. They will be
ported to the Plugin Pro version as well if
possible.
