To build monthly income, building an affiliate store in Wordpress blog is like putting money in the bank. Every post is like an investment that will pay you back again, and again, and again…
The next 8 weeks will be the busiest time of the year online. More people will search, shop, and buy than ANY OTHER TIME OF YEAR! What you do for these 2 months will determine how much income YOU WILL EARN during that period. Some bloggers and affiliates spend nearly the entire year getting ready for just these 2 months. I have used just about every affiliate product, service, and plugin out there - and for the next two months, I’m going to post a lot about which ones work (and which ones don’t).
I consider this post to be the first in the “How to Build an Affiliate Store in Wordpress” series, but I kind of consider it a sub-section of both How to Build Income Online, and How to Monetize Your Blog series. There will be soo many posts about setting up an affiliate store, I felt an entire series devoted to it was in order.
