    Affiliate (affiliate) marketing - one of the easiest and most scalable way to make money online. Instead of spending their time and money to create a commercial product or service, you simply promote these goods and services, receiving a commission whenever someone orders them online for your reference.

    Many online retailers offer affiliate programs (Amazon Associates - one of the largest and most well-known). You can also sign up for affiliate programs such as Commission Junction, ShareASale and the ClickBank, each of which offers a huge variety of physical and digital goods and services from hundreds of different companies. In the Russian segment of a good affiliate program is a program of the Ozone.

    Register as a partner in these programs is very fast and simple. You just need to create a new web site (or use an existing website), to register the affiliate programs of your choice, and then spread the special offer links, automatically receiving a commission after every order.

    A great way to make money, is not it? Thousands of people make their living by affiliate marketing, some of whom receive tens of thousands of dollars per month.

    To start, you need a web site only. In theory, the difference between the sites no - free blog will bring you the same fee as a stand-alone website with custom design. However, if you are serious about earning money on affiliate programs, then the online diary WordPress - is the ideal, and for many the only option.

    Why WordPress is an excellent choice to partner sites?

    Full ownership
    Post in the field of affiliate marketing, using a free blogging platform like an attractive prospect. After all, you do not invest any hosting, domain or in the purchase, so you can maximize your profits, right?

    Of course, no one bothers you run an affiliate website on a free blogging platform, but I strongly urge you to do so for several important reasons.

    Firstly, when you create your site on a free hosting, you are just a tenant, not the owner. This means that you have no real control over your site (and your income). In other words, today, this site exists, and tomorrow it could be stolen. Recently, Blogger earned unflattering reputation for being the service spontaneously, without warning, shuts blogs; mainly hunted it on the partner sites.

    Secondly, some of the free blogging platforms such as WordPress.com, does not recommend the use of affiliate links on their sites. Do not waste your time. First you set up your affiliate site and then will have to remove it because it violates the terms of use publishing platform.

    Some hosting will be given a warning first, and then you will have a chance to make a backup of your site, but most likely they simply remove the site without giving you time to move your content to another location, or require you to pay for site restoration.

    Some free sites for blogs tracking affiliate links and replace them with their own links. It is important to remember that most of the "free" services on the Internet have their own ulterior motives. Perhaps they are making money from something else - in this case, from your own site.

    Because of all these problems, many companies that offer affiliate schemes, cannot accept you as a partner, if you are using a free blog. They will not risk it.

    While free sites may look attractive at first, they are almost always a false economy. Hosting today offered at competitive prices, so there is absolutely no justification for the use of free sites, especially if you want to earn from them.

    SEO
    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - an important aspect for partner sites. If no one will visit your site, then you do not earn money, so to maximize traffic - it is a key task. Ideally, you should make sure that anyone who is looking for a product or service provided on your site, your site will notice - it has to occupy the first position.

    WordPress system perfectly optimized by default, but there are a number of plugins that can make your site friendly to search engines - for example, plug-ins All in One SEO Pack or Yoast's WordPress SEO. Beginners can install these plug-ins with the default settings; advanced users can fine-tune plug-ins to fit your needs.

    Some people also notice that the websites on WordPress, may have enjoyed great approval from Google, rather than static sites and sites on other blogging platforms. Given that the jury is the same, but different types of sites are in vogue and come out as soon as updates are available algorithms, it is clear that Google gives preference to the platform on which there are large, reputable sites.

    Since WordPress enjoys the highest popularity, is the leading platform for creating blogs, it makes sense to go after the crowd and get all the benefits in terms of SEO.

    WordPress Themes optimized for partners
    One of the most beneficial aspects of using WordPress as a content management system is a wide range of themes available to personalize your site. Instead of hiring a developer to create a custom design, you can easily create a website that will look beautiful and unique by choosing a free or premium themes by editing its fonts, colors and images.

    When it comes to affiliate sites, the design is particularly important. By optimizing the design of your site a higher the CTR, you can maximize your profits. Design aspects that may affect the index of clicks CTR - link color, position and size of the advertising banner.

    You can always experiment with these design aspects, to understand exactly what the ideal option for CTR. is it is important to take into account the fact that today there are topics that are specifically designed for partner sites. They have been tested and shown to be effective in terms of committing visitor's clicks.

    Some threads are ground specifically for a certain affiliate programs, as, for example, WP Affiliate Store theme, designed for use with Amazon. These topics are additional tools in the console, which simplify search for products, the creation of thumbnails, the output prices as well as adding affiliate links to WordPress. With such topics, you can speed up your workflow and create websites faster.

    If you need a WordPress theme, having the form of a partnership web store, then in that case you can use Affiliate Theme or Affiliate Board.

    Affiliate plugins in WordPress
    As is the case with optimized themes for WordPress, there are many plug-ins that allow partners to expedite the process of adding products, masking links, etc. Here are some best plugins:

    Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer - changes the references to local visitors for Amazon (.com, .co.uk, .de, etc.) and insert your affiliate ID for each country.
    Amazon Auto Links - automatically generates links for new products with Amazon (taking into account your affiliate ID).
    CB Press - quickly and easily import the products from the ClickBank Marketplace.
    ThirstyAffiliates - masks and manage all your affiliate links in WordPress console.
    Skimlinks - automatically converts references to items in the affiliate links.

    WordPress is suitable not only to specialists in affiliate marketing
    If you are thinking about affiliate marketing before, you will likely come across programs to create affiliate sites that claim to be able to beat WordPress and other platforms in terms of CTR, and SEO. Such decisions may look tempting, but it is best to avoid them.

    Of course, WordPress is used on many websites, not only in the partnership. That's fine, because it means that you do not need to keep one hundred percent affiliate site, which often causes the sanctions of search engines.

    In 2008, the program Build a Niche Store (BANS) is often used to create the partner sites that allow links to affix to eBay products. As a result of search results pages were partner sites that use the same template - this has led to the fact that Google has declared war on them. Since they all use the same code, they were very easy to find and remove from the index.

    If you use this software, it is likely that you will encounter the same outcome. If you do not mind getting a quick profit, then in that case you can use these tools at your own risk, but if you need a flexible business model, in which case it is not necessary to go through such shaky.

    Conclusion
    If you thought ever over using a free blogging platform or builder to create a partner site, then I hope this article has made you rethink their orientation. WordPress - perfect platform for the many partners who want to earn money on advertising products.

    First thing: You have started, so you are on the right way. Most of the people remain stuck here, trying to make everything perfect before FINALLY jumping in (which never happens).

    So, congrats on this.

    Second, you are not wasting time if you are doing this:
    1. Creating search engine optimized articles for your keywords and ranking 4-5 keywords one at a time.
    2. Building links by guest posting.
    3. Participating on forums such as this one.
    4. If you have a budget, going for FB ads or google adwords (that depends on your product).
    5. Connecting with the right people of your niche. Maybe, allocating 45 minutes everyday for building online relationships only (inside your niche).

    Hope that helps.
    Thanks

    You can start your blog if you have good knowledge about your chosen niche! For the beginning, focus on to write some contents related to your niche and get social shares! Set your website's on-page SEO and start to building the backlinks slowly that are relevant to your niche based sites.

    Use social signals and guest posts to build the organic traffic to your website. If you have built your website with the good amount of organic traffic then it would be helpful for your affiliate products in future. So, focus on driving the organic traffic from the beginning of your website!
