What's A Good Affiliate Scheme For My WordPress Site

i think it would be to offer hosting to them. Because they will need that to build sites. For example hostgator. Or you could tell them which one you use and they will be more inclined too check it out.

Studiopress or good theme affiliate programs would work, but you need to spend more focus on building your email list and promoting these themes and any other affiliate offers through email.

I notice that you have a sign up form on your blog but it's near the bottom of the page. I would move this to the top ASAP.

Another good affiliate program you could target is the Problogger products.

These are obviously aimed at bloggers and there is some good stuff they offer.

Hosting and autoresponder software could also work.

Any blog related affiliate programs would probably be good. People who build WordPress sites also love WordPress plugins. If the program did not convert after a fair amount of traffic sent, then I would try another program. Don't waste away your traffic on affiliate programs that aren't converting.

Also, you have to consider banner blindness. People are getting used to avoiding banners, so you might try referring your visitors to specific themes or Wordpress products within your content. If the merchant allows you to do so, you could create your own affiliate banners that might catch their attention and convert better.

Get a free clickbank account and search for wordpress, there are several wordpress products available that you could check out.

Have affiliate banners at the sidebar from websites like themeforest. That would make you some affiliate income.

Hi

Just a comment about the site.

You aren't really pre-selling themes and sending warm traffic. It looks like you are just relying on banners to send general traffic.

On top of that, you undermine your monetization by having an article recommending 15 "amazing FREE responsive themes".

How many readers are going to try your recommended free themes before they click on your banner and then browse through a whole forest to find a theme they like.

One thing about people who buy WP themes is they buy exactly what they see in a demo.

You have someone publish an Amazon niche site guide WSO and recommend a few themes and all people ask is but WHAT theme? What theme do you use? What theme should I use? They don't even want to decide between 3-4 recommendations. They just want to be told.

So to drive directed traffic to a theme store to sell themes as an affiliate, feature a theme in your training.

For example, a lesson "How to add a whatever" start by introducing the theme and how to use it.

"Today I am going to show you how to ... in WP. I'm working with Premium Theme from Themeforest. I like this theme because it is easy to blah blah". Show a couple features of the theme say "I put a link at the bottom of the article if you want to use this theme" then do the lesson.

At the end of an article put an affiliate link to the exact theme you used in the demo. Not just the ThemeForest storefront.

Pick 2-3 themes for various purposes and use those ones repeatedly in different lessons so visitors can see how the themes work.

Also "Build a complete site" posts and videos are good and viewers who like the lesson and want to build "the exact site" will look for the "exact" theme.

This also allows you to promote individual themes (like Thesis or WSO themes) and other products like plugins and WP services.

Right now you are using banners and treating traffic no differently than you would an AdSense site.

Edit: I did see the specific theme site building videos but I didn't see clear affiliate links. Just general banners.

Sometimes selling something needs a bit of help. Its not like they are getting a discount or anything from buying from your link. ( In some cases you can write a very professional sounding request for a discount code and they may give you one. )

Have you considered buying a premium plugin with an unlimited license and with proof of purchase, sending the plugin to the buyer for free? It probably wouldn't take long to recoupe your cost, and you are providing a product that can not be found anywhere else!
