3. WP Coupons and Deals

Coupon code and deal posts convert like crazy if you can rank them. But you need to make sure that users click on your affiliate link before using the coupon code.

I used to use a plugin called DRP Coupon. But the plugin got deleted from WordPress repository.

Later, we decided to create our own coupon plugin and launched ‘WP Coupons and Deals’ plugin. It allows users to add both coupon and deal to WordPress posts/pages. The best thing about the plugin is it’s very easy to use and it’s free.

Here are some examples of coupons/deals built with the plugin.

You can add coupons or deals anywhere by using shortcodes. The plugin comes with “Click to Copy” functionality which will protect your every sale.

6. Thrive Clever Widget

Relevant Ads convert better than General Ads.

That’s why you always see relevant ads on Google, Facebook or other sites. It is called “Exact Targeting”. The idea is to provide the right message to the right audience.

You can do the same on your blog. Showing web hosting affiliate banner ad on hosting related posts make more sense than showing it on SEO related posts.

Thrive Clever Widgets is the WordPress plugin that allows you to show relevant and targetted affiliate banners on sidebar/footer. For example; I am showing SEMrush affiliate banner on this post because I wrote about SEMrush there.

You can set exactly where you want to show the banner based on Categories, Individual Post and Page, Selected Posts and Pages, Page Templates, Post Types and Archive Pages. You can display the banner wherever you want to show. This plugin will undoubtedly increase your affiliate sales.

7. Q2W3 Fixed Widget

No matter how relevant affiliate banners you add on the sidebar, it’s useless unless people notice it.

Sidebar often gets unnoticed. People come to our blog to read posts, not to see sidebar Ads. They open the post, scroll and read the content. By the time, they are at the bottom of the posts, sidebar widgets are out of their screen. It shows white-space on the sidebar.

Your sidebar remains unnoticed. And you don’t get any benefits from the sidebar.

But you can fix it by making sidebar widgets sticky that floats next to the content as the user scrolls down. See how it works.

Q2W3 Fixed Widget is the WordPress plugin that allows you to make sidebar widget sticky. You can stick multiple widgets at a time. But I prefer making one widget sticky to keep it less annoying.

This plugin will help you to get your affiliate banners noticed. And it works great with Thrive Clever Widgets.

8. Thrive Leads

The Money is in the list.

It is so true when it comes to affiliate marketing. You have to build an email list to get long-term success in affiliate marketing.

Building an email list is not easy. But the right tools can make it easier. I am using GetResponse and Thrive Leads to build my email list.

If you haven’t started building your email list yet, I suggest you get started with GetResponse. It’s the best email marketing tool for bloggers.

If you have already started building your email list, that’s great. To build your mailing list faster, I’d recommend Thrive Leads. It has everything to build your mailing list faster than ever before.

Adding a poll to your blog post is a great way to engage with your readers.

The surprising thing is, it can also help you to increase your affiliate sales. Let’s see how I do it.

Whenever I write a list post of products/services, I add a poll on the post. It allows users to vote on their favorite product/service, and it helps others to choose the best one.
