What is WP Affiliate Suite?

WP Affiliate Suite is a complete A-Z course on affiliate marketing and even shows you how to create affiliate websites using WordPress. But it gets even better! You also get a premium WordPress affiliate marketing theme that’s ready to go for you to upload and use as your very own.

A Look Inside WP Affiliate Suite

Let’s look at what you actually get inside this course.  At first I wasn’t expecting much simply because it only costs $14.95.  Seriously though, I’ve paid upwards of $2,000 for affiliate training that didn’t teach me what WP Affiliate Suite does!

The training sections are broke up so it’s super easy to find exactly what you need to learn even if you want to skip some videos.  Also remember, there are additional upsells that can be purchased to add more content to your membership. I’ll talk more about them a bit later.

WP Affiliate Suite Content:

For the initial $14.95, here’s what you get:

• Affiliate marketing training videos
• WordPress training videos
• Custom WordPress theme (the one I’m using for this site)

This is a no-brainer and the training is VERY WELL done and covers everything you need to know to get started and earning online with affiliate marketing through your very own website.

You’ll find several videos that go into detail with affiliate marketing such as:

• Types of keywords to focus on (amazing video)
• Using affiliate links
• Best types of affiliate networks and programs
• and much more..

The WordPress training covers in detail how to use this theme and edit it to your liking.  You’ll learn how to use get a domain name, hosting, set it all up, import the theme and make any changes to it you want to make it unique.

WP Affiliate Suite Upsells and OTO’s

The course itself is amazing but you will have the option to really expand and take full advantage of building affiliate websites with the upsells.  I ended up getting all of them and don’t regret it at all.. in fact, I am working on my 7th website now

Upsell #1 Advanced SEO Strategies ($37):

This is really good and goes into detail on how to do advanced SEO ranking strategies for your site.  Some of these strategies are free and you can take advantage of right now to get much higher rankings.

But seriously, don’t expect to build a website on weight loss and rank for it.. you have to be realistic.  Some companies pay millions a year to rank for that term.

Not only does Chris teach methods you can implement NOW to help increase your rankings, but he even shows some software tools he uses to rank for some pretty competitive terms.  These tools do cost extra and are optional but can help you rank for much more competitive keywords.

Upsell #2 DFY Niche Sites ($45-$297):

These are AMAZING!  There are over 50 done-for-you WordPress themes in a lot of niches you can get access to for 76% off the price you will pay in the Niche Shop if you skip this upsell.  These themes already have logos, articles, professional stock photos, categories, banners and more.  They are ready for you to upload and start your own site.

They also are a great way to get approved by affiliate networks  

Just install one of these pre-loaded niche themes, add a bit of your own content to go with what’s already there and you’re good to go!

In the niche shop with WP Affiliate Suite, all these DFY themes cost $25.  But if you buy them during the upsell, you can save up to 76% on them.

• 3 DFY themes for $45 (Normally $75)
• 15 DFY themes for $150 (normally $375)
• Or ALL the themes 55+ for $297 (normally $1,250.. 76% discount!)

Upsell #3 DFY Themes Reseller License ($197):

This was an easy one for me.  I bought all the themes and then I bought this reseller license. I can now resell these same themes and earn 100% of the profits. 

This license gives you the right to resell all 55+ DFY WP themes on your website, Fiverr, or any other place you want.  Just note that it does not give you the right to give them away for free, you must sell them for at least $25/each.

Who is WP Affiliate Suite For?

What I love about this course is that it’s made for all levels of affiliate marketers.  If you are completely new to affiliate marketing, you can start from the very beginning.  If you are more experienced, you can skip some videos and start setting up your websites right away!

The DFY themes are a great option as it helps with those who are more restrained on time.  The DFY themes can be uploaded onto your WordPress site in a matter of minutes and ready to go. You will only need to spend a few hours a week adding your own content to the site to grow it.

Conclusion

Here’s my final thoughts.  If you want a REAL affiliate marketing business, you need to learn how to build your own website.  Sure there are plenty of “get rich quick” type apps that will create and manage your sites for you, but you have NO CONTROL over most of them or the content they add.

With WP Affiliate Suite, you get the training you need to not only build your own WP site, but how to grow a long-term and sustainable affiliate marketing business that you can be proud of to call your own.

The DFY themes are a brilliant addition that will help you to get started quickly in creating sites in a variety of niches from health to marriage or even survival and home improvement.  

Honestly, I wish I had found something like this years ago. And don’t be intimidated by the low price of $14.95.  At first I thought it was going to be just “another course”.. but I was wrong.

What would you like to promote? Affiliate marketing is no stranger to the Internet, and certainly no stranger to network marketers and article marketing is still a successful way to promote your online business or blog. Affiliate marketing offers a phenomenal opportunity for people who do not have a lot of start-up capital or a lot of time to put together a giant campaign. Affiliate marketing has some very good advantages which include no product of your own, no inventory, no shipping or overhead and no real sales force. For the merchant it can also be a cheap and effective marketing strategy.

What are Affiliate Programs?

Generally speaking affiliate programs are marketing programs offered by web advertisers or merchants that recruit website owners and bloggers. The merchants provide banner ads, links and buttons for website owners to place on their website to market the merchant’s products. In turn, the website owner or blogger will receive a referral fee or commission when a customer purchases a product that is delivered via an affiliate link. One of the most common types of affiliate links are pay per click (PPC – Pay Per Click) however, increasingly now have been intertwined with email and content marketing.

The Product

When you are looking for an affiliate program there are some things you need to consider before choosing which company you are going to take arms with. The product should be one of quality can also be a service. As long as it’s a product viable service and it offers something of value to the customer.

There are several types of compensation plans built into affiliate marketing programs, and one of them can be a residual program. However, not all affiliate marketing programs have residual programs built into them. If you can find one with residual funds, then that would be the way to go. However, there are some that actually offer a significantly high commission rate that may make up for the loss of the residual income. There are also others that offer a multilevel marketing structure of compensation. Now if you’re familiar with multilevel marketing than that may be an avenue that you would choose to examine.

But before jumping into any multilevel marketing program, you should read up on it and do a thorough analysis. The last thing you want to do is jump into an affiliate program that is going to be a serious waste of time.

Choosing an Affiliate Program

Back in 1994 there weren’t very many affiliate programs to choose from and most of them were revolved around offensive content websites. Today, affiliate programs have a higher standard and it is a new way of doing business. There are many companies that have affiliate marketing programs lime Amazon, web hosting companies, domain name registrars, and electronic websites, Apple iTunes, bit defender, panda security, PC health boost, Commission Junction, eBay Partner Network, Google AdSense, VistaPrint and the list goes on and on.

You can find an affiliate program for almost anything you want to sell. It is a good idea to sell something that is related to your website, providing you have one. Not everybody that signs up for an affiliate program has a website to run it through. There are some that actually write articles and direct the URLs to their affiliate program.

Becoming an Affiliate

If you want to become an affiliate it’s not that hard. You simply go to the website of choice and look for their affiliate link program. Usually what will happen is you will sign up and get a unique affiliate ID along with some banners and links. You then place these on your website so that your potential audience can click on those links which if they purchase, you will receive a commission. Just because you signed up for an affiliate program doesn’t mean that you’re actually going to drive traffic to your website. You still need to do something about driving traffic to your website or affiliate link like write compelling articles and become an expert in your field. These articles can be placed on article databases and are a sure way of driving traffic to your website or affiliate link.

What You Should Look For

When you go shopping for an affiliate program, try to look for high affiliate commissions, long cookies and of course you would want to get a great conversion rate. Two-tier programs which have the same structure as a multilevel marketing organization and can be quite lucrative. Such organizations that earn billions in multilevel marketing and direct sales is companies like Amway which has been in business for 53 years, Nu Skin started in 1984 and Nature’s Sunshine started in 1972 so multilevel marketing has been around for some time. Residual affiliate programs is definitely the way to go. You continue to make money on that visitor month after month. The advantage here is that eventually your sales start accumulating where you’re making more and more money as opposed to the individual sale where you have to continuously make money to stay at the same level.

Where You Can Go

There is services out there that have a database of a lot of companies that are doing affiliate program so you do not have to run around and seek out each individual program themselves. Companies like ClickBank where you sign up and select the affiliate program you wish to support.

Marketing Your Link

Now let’s talk about that affiliate link for a moment. Most affiliate links are extremely long, hideous and some of them have special characters in them like a “?” or “=” sign. These links will not rank on search engines like Google very well and definitely cannot be added to pay per click like Google AdSense. What I would suggest is getting yourself a domain name and rerouting it to your affiliate offer.

Let’s take for an example if I wanted to become an affiliate of a cell phone electronics company and I had a website I can actually write a review on a particular cell phone that I’m trying to market. If it’s more than one, then I could just pick a product or two to write my articles on. Anyway, I would try to register a domain name that may have something in it like cheap cell phones or something along those lines to help the search engines determine what your product might be.

Increase Your Sales

What if you don’t have a website and you wish to increase your sales with affiliate marketing; what would you do? One way to market an affiliate program I briefly touched on is to write quality articles about the product that is being marketed. I truly suggest this strategy to increase traffic and sales. There are several article directories that you can post your articles to, but do not post the same article to multiple sites other than the article directory and your own site if you have one.

Article directories can be a very good source of traffic because of their reputation and the amount of visitors they have each month reading your article. Of course, some of those readers will click on your affiliate link driving traffic to your affiliate program. I like Ezine Articles as an article directory, but there are others like; Goarticles, ehow, Examiner, Technorati, Thefreelibrary and much more, but that’s a good start. Don’t just read one article when doing your research and regurgitate the content from that one article. Try to do some in-depth study to get a complete understanding of what it is you’re writing about. Once you have that understanding, try to simplify your article by using either bullet points or topic list. To get people to click on your link you need to be compelled to do so, but the only way to do that is to write compelling articles.

Making money on the net with affiliate programs can be a rewarding experience if you know where to go the fine the right affiliate program and how to do the research needed. Just locating an affiliate program is not all you need to do, you need to weigh the gravity of that affiliate program. First determine what it is you would like to sell and do your research. Hopefully, you will look for something that accents your website or if you don’t have a website, something that you know a lot about so that you can write your reviews.
