Starting a SAAS for people with niche affiliate sites. Need help with more features.

Hey guys,

So i've been wanting to get into SAAS for a very long time. My day job is running a web design/dev/marketing company and have been doing so for roughly 10 years.

Needless to say, I'm getting a little burnt out on client work.

So, I decided to start really thinking about a service that I could offer to solve a problem.

As the owner of many different affiliate sites (amazon, adsense, etc.) and having to login/logout of different websites to add articles, check rankings, check traffic, check revenue, etc., I have the idea of managing all my affiliate sites in one place, from one backend.

While i'll be solving a problem for me at the same time, I also (obviously) want to sell it as a service. So this question is for affiliate website owners....

What do you care about?

Here's what I have come up with so far. I'm would like to use this as a brainstorming session with fellow affiliate website owners.

  • Track Revenue from Amazon and Adsense per site
  • Add blog posts directly to any affiliate site from one place
  • Track number of posts, amount of content, and targeted keyword per post
  • Traffic statistics per website
  • Outbound clicks per article
  • Revenue Generated per article

Right now, my focus is stats related. There has to be more to it that I can do.

So help me out affiliate website owners...what would you want to manage/track in one place for your affiliate websites?

I have about 10k to invest, and most of the work I can do myself, so I'm very serious about this project.

Thanks for the help in advance guys.
