5 Free WordPress Plugins For Affiliate Marketers

Sign up for content marketing news and tips delivered every Tuesday. WordPress is a very simple-to-use solution for creating powerful affiliate websites. The best part about WordPress is all the plugins that are available. It seems there is at least one plugin for just about anything you can imagine!
I’ve put together a list of 5 free affiliate marketing plugins for WordPress that I really like to use. This is probably my favorite WordPress plugin for my affiliate sites. In a nutshell, this plugin allows you to take long and nasty-looking affiliate links and easily turn them into “pretty links” that look like they are links within your site. So, instead of using that funky-looking Clickbank link, you could make that affiliate link look like YourSite.com/cool-product (for example).
This is a very useful plugin that I love. Oh, it also tracks clicks on each link you create! If you create a lot of WordPress affiliate sites, you probably find you spend a lot of time tweaking your theme and settings with each initial set up.
What if you could get your basic WordPress set up done and then make a copy of it each time you wanted to create a new affiliate site? This is really easy to do with the free Duplicator plug-in. This handy plugin also allows you to easily move sites from one host to another and back up your sites (which is so important to do).
This plugin is pretty nifty. All you do is install and activate the plug inside your wp-admin dashboard, and then add your Amazon affiliate ID in the settings area. Once this is set up, any time you add a link to an Amazon product in your posts, the plugin automatically makes it your affiliate link and it directs the user to the proper Amazon site according to their location. Pinterst is amazing for traffic, and it’s a site you really should consider adding to your traffic-getting toolbox. I have had sites blow up with traffic all because one visitor “pinned” an image from my site.
