Run your own affiliate programme using Wordpress10 Jun
If you are thinking about running an affiliate programme and you’re website is a wordpress based on you now have a couple of good value low cost option to bolt on an affiliate plugin to manage all of your affiliate programme.
These plugins allow you to:
- provide access to affiliates for real time tracking of sales or leads;
- allow you to easily manage and approve affiliates from anywhere;
- pay your affiliates via Paypal;
So they are both ideal for running an affiliate programme without the large signup costs to go with a network. That said you still have to do or outsource the affiliate recruitment but at least you can prove it works before taking the plunge on a big scale.
Plugin #1 Affiliate Platform Plugin
This plugin has a great number of features but the main ones that we like is that it can be a two tier programme. The plugin works with lots of other plugins such as shopping carts and membership site plugins. You can also integrate this plugin to run a pay per lead campaign – which is great for finance and insurance sites.
Plugin #2 Magic Affiliate Plugin
This is a newer finding and looks just as good. In fact, it does have the edge if you wanted to start running a multi level affiliate programme as this pays down to 5 levels. It is easy to integrate with other wordpress plugins such as Ecommerce Cart and Membership plugins. it can also integrate with Getresponse and Aweber autoresponders.
Either of these two plugins will work fantastically well if you are running a wordpress site and both offer a good low cost solution to allow most site owners start to look at affiliate marketing more seriously.
