What's up, guys? My name is George and this is SaaS Master.
Today, we're going to talk about an affiliate system for WordPress
that you're probably going to be thinking, why would I need this?
Let's just say this straight out.
Amazon and eBay use an affiliate system.
I'm even using it with them because I bring sales to them.
So what this is going to do is bring more sales to your site.
I mean, you can have a fantastic website.
You can have a fantastic product, but you can't sell a whole bunch of it.
Why?
Because you need people to actually promote it for you.
This is the cheapest way that you can sell more without having to well put cash out.
Like, for example, you can do some ads, but you would have to cash out right.
With the affiliate system you wont.
People will do this for you.
So this is the easiest way to sell more.
Now, what system?
I'm talking about this affiliateWP, this is a Wordpress system.
It's a plugin that you install it and you
have a whole system in your WordPress to start off and use an affiliate system.
Now, before we get started,
I want to show you the results I'm having with this particular plugin right here.
I already have it installed.
It's pretty easy and straightforward.
All you have to do is to head over to
to plug-ins on your wordpress side and you install it and add the settings.
Now, I'm going to show you really quick
what the settings are because it's it's pretty straightforward.
But this is the results I'm having right now.
You can see the paid earnings,
one thousand seven hundred eighty six dollars.
Those are the paid earnings.
That's not how much I've made.
This is just what I've paid out to these
guys who've helped me out promote the deals that I have.
You got paid earnings.
You got Paid earnings with this month unpaid referrals.
Thirty four unpaid referrals this month, 20 unpaid referrals.
One, these are the earnings that are paid right now.
So this is something that I have to know when I check out my bank.
You know, I need to have this money because this isn't mine.
It was thanks to these affiliate people
who made the promotion and these are the earnings of valuable affiliates.
So these are their earnings by affiliate
persons who have been doing it, referrals, visits, the recent referral visits,
recent referrals, latest affiliate registrations.
You can see right here I have pending an active this is something that it gives
me the capability of doing because I can either have them, like,
automatically be accepted or I can accept them individually.
So I if I don't find someone that is like,
good enough, I can say, no, you can't be an affiliate.
So it gives me the option highest converting URLs.
So as you can see, this is actually working.
Imagine all this work, doing it myself, doing all these cells.
It's not possible.
So I'd rather give a bit of my earnings to actually sell more.
So at the end of the day, I'm making more money.
So that's that's the whole reason of using an affiliate system.
And like I told you before, even Amazon,
who is like the king of the Internet sales, is using an affiliate system.
I'm even a part of it.
I mean, I'm using it and I'm making money from them.
So they benefit from me.
So I'm actually doing the same for my site.
Now, what are the things that we have available on?
We call it an affiliate WP is right here.
So, for example, we have let's go through these menus really quick.
Let's head over to affiliate.
Now, by the way, there's sometimes there's some deals going on in the AffiliateWP so if you guys
want to grab it, the link will be in the description.
The link is an affiliate link.
Obviously, it won't.
It will give you a small commission and it won't cost you one cent more.
So help me out, make these videos.
So this is one of the taps that we have right here.
So it's the affiliates.
We have an overview of every single affiliate that we have registered.
We got their name the affiliate I.D., the user name, their paid earnings, unpaid earnings rates.
So, for example, I want to show you what the paid earnings I've done.
So these are the earnings that you can see right here.
This is what I have paid off to these affiliates.
There you go, and let's head on over to another tap.
These are referrals.
I just want to show you a quick overview, what you can expect from affiliate WP,
you can see right here we got the referrals for I.D. account,
affiliate referents, description type, date actions and status.
So in this case, what I can do remember, these are the referrals.
These are what they have made.
Doesn't mean they've paid already.
These are the ones they've made recently.
And I can mark them as paid.
I can reject it or I can edit or delete.
So I have all these options.
So if you're going to pay them manually, then you check out.
All right, let's go to their affiliate
names to see what their PayPal or their bank account is.
I transfer and then I it get paid when it's done.
Now they're going to see this when it's paid.
So on their dashboard, they would say it's paid already or I can reject it.
There could be some reasons that you would do this.
I've done this one of the reasons I've
done it, for example, I've had affiliates sign up.
They've had only one visit and they made
a referral and they haven't made any other single visits.
So that means the probabilities of them being the cheater are really big.
They probably open the account just to buy for themselves.
So it's just rejected. That's one of the reasons.
All right. Hand it over to payout's.
All right.
And in the payout's, you can see right here what's been paid out here.
Here's the amounts.
These are the ones already marked as status as paid.
You can see this right here in generated, obviously, by the admin.
So these are already paid off.
See all these amounts right here?
All that's been paid off.
There's even more so, like I said,
it's been really successful for me using affiliate system.
I've probably sold more through affiliates than directly through my site.
So this is really important for me.
This case might be different for other
people, but just want to let you guys know that filesystem has been working for me.
Then we have the tab where it says visits.
Let's check on visits so the visits right here are the sites that they've been
visiting from the affiliates, you can see the IP's or referring URL or referral
I.D., who is the affiliate who referred to this link and the date?
Creative's, I haven't added creative's,
but what you do here, you had to create it, for example,
if you had a banner or an image or whatever this appears on their affiliate
dashboard, these are like things that they could use.
So you give it to them so they can actually use it if they want.
So it's ready made then.
We have reports.
So as you can see right here, really, the AffiliateWP, you have everything in one single
plug in, so here to referred paid earnings, this is what I've paid all time,
one thousand seven hundred eighty six dollars unpaid earnings.
So these are the ones to come.
So once they reach because I have a refund period.
So this has to wait till they paid off, then paid unpaid referrals.
0 of 20 this month, average referral amounts.
It's about 36 dollars that they make right here.
That's number two tools.
On tools we got the export and import,
so export affiliates, export affiliates are switching sides or
grabbing affiliates from another place, you can do this also export referrals,
export payout's, export visits, export settings, import settings.
So you have all this information that you
can use you API keys, recount stats, migration assist and system info
going down. We have the settings now.
This is one of the most important parts.
When you're starting to set up, this might take you half an hour,
one hour to set up and once i
t set up, you're done.
I mean, you don't have to do anything else.
So just first off, start off and set this up so you have the affiliate area.
This is a page that's going to be used, terms of use, terms of use label
so all of this will appear over there, the referral variable.
So you can see there's an example right here.
This is the site.
And as you see, ref, so I can change this to something else,
like an old referral can be the whole word.
It could be something shorter,
like just A or S or one or whatever you want to add is just be this right here.
But this is meant for people to know
that's used for referral default referral format.
You can see this right here.
It's going to user ID, pretty affiliate URL if you want to switch
it to something more nice instead of using, for example,
this one right here, what's like the question mark Ref equals
and then the ID, it could be something nicer.
It could be SaaS dot com, slash ref slash admin and in the side.
So it makes it more nice.
And here are all the integrations that I have.
These integrations that you see up here
are add ons let me show you where those are right now.
So for example, we got the integration, innovation's opt in form emails, maske,
payout's services, lifetime permissions, PayPal Payouts
this is a really awesome plug in that once
you use it, you don't want to go back what it does.
You said PayPal to to pay them off
at a certain time and it doesn't automatically.
Pushovers recurring referrals,
affiliate landing pages, custom affiliate Slug's click on this one really quick.
I'm going to talk about most of them right now.
So let's send it over to the add ons.
Once you do the settings, you head on over to add ons,
and this is going to depend on the account that you have on the AffiliateWP,
that you have access to the pro add ons and these are the official free ones.
So on the add ons, you have like the rest
API extends, so it gives you more ability to use the API Zapier for affiliates.
So it connects affiliateWP to over 700 what services out there.
So basically what Zapier you could do
anything with the information that you grab affiliate landing pages.
So create a dedicated landing page is if
this is something that you want, you can do it.
Direct link tracking.
Allow for this to link directly to your site.
Custom affiliate Slug's so instead
of using the one by default, like number 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, you can give them the option to add their own custom.
So that means, hey, I want to do something fancy in this case.
For example, use SaaS master as my affiliates slug
sign up referrals.
You can do this award award commission
when referred users sign up for a WordPress user account.
So if you want to do this, you can do that.
Also fill out forms from gravity forms for ninja forms.
So if you're using one of those two,
you can use those forms with this, add on push notification,
send a push notification on new referrals to your affiliates.
This is, I think, really important to me as an affiliate user for other sites.
I hate when I make an affiliate cell and I'm not notified.
Why?
Because I want to know if someone if something sells.
I want to know if I'm getting
the commission because I know that what I'm doing is right.
Or as an affiliate, I get more incentive.
I get more hyped when I feel that when I
see the email that I sold and I made a referral.
So I'm like, yeah, so I'm going to promote more.
So I think this is really important for anyone.
Lifetime commissions
allow you for this to receive a commission on all future purchases by the customer.
Recurring referrals track ongoing
referrals for subscription payments and membership, plug ins,
tiered affiliate rates.
So if you want to do it by tier, you can use this.
Also affiliate dashboard sharing your list to easily share generated
referral URLs and the PayPal payouts instantly pay
affiliates once click payment through PayPal.
So this is makes this makes really didn't make everything more easier.
So these are the pro ones.
So if you have the pro account
and a feeling that you can use these, these are the free ones.
Check this out.
So you got to start an affiliate I.D., so remember, it's by number if you're not
going to use a custom slug affiliate area tabs, manage the affiliate area tabs.
So what this does in the affiliate area that we're going to log in in a bit,
it's going to you can remove or keep the affiliate tags.
Remember one of the ones we saw right here, for example, creative's,
if we're not going to create creative's, then we should actually remove it.
And I think I have to do that.
So if it's showing this and on that, I don't have anything there.
So just remove it if you're not going to use it.
Affiliate Info show information based
on the affiliate referrals URLs External Referral Link.
So it allows affiliates to promote external WordPress based pages.
So if you're going to do this off a WordPress site, you can do this.
Also allow own referrals,
so allows the affiliate to earn commissions on their own referrals that if
you they want to by themselves, they make a commission off it.
I don't think that's right.
But if you want to use it, that's available.
Show affiliate coupons, allowed products.
So this means not all products will give a commission.
In this case, you said which products will
give a commission affiliate area shortcuts.
You can do this right here.
You have the affiliate product rates
set product referral rates on per-affiliate level. Leaderboard
so if you want to do like a competition of who's selling more and you want to have
a little more for them, you can do that there.
Sign up bonus bonus for sign ups, store credit.
So instead of paying them money,
they have a store credit that you can use in the store.
This helps out because you don't get through the process of payouts.
They actually have to buy something from you.
So you went a little bit more.
The only thing is that this can be discouraging for some affiliates because
they're saying, you know what, I want cash.
I don't want something from the store.
In other cases, it might work.
For example, Amazon, it's a super huge store.
You can buy almost everything there.
So that works in that case.
In some cases, it might not work.
Order details from affiliates give them that option for spending referrals,
Woocomers, redirect affiliates and check out referrals.
So you have all these options available.
And there's some third party add ons
that you can add when you have them, like there's a buddy press.
If you have buddy press, it's connected.
So you can do that there.
Let's head on over to the site actually
and show you what this actually looks like.
Let's go to this. All right.
So I'm incognito mode.
I have the affiliates link right here.
Obviously, you can have it on top.
You can have it in the bottom.
You can not even have it listed, but use you give them the link.
So this is a registration.
So register as a new affiliate.
You can also set these to a separate page
if you want, and you can customize a bit how it looks.
You see, I set the password username and this is where it's logged in.
I will log in just for this case and purpose.
I am logging in.
I will have no cells, but you will see what the user will see.
So this is where they are created, right?
So the reference we're using numbers.
So it's number one.
You see the referral URL,
the page URL so obviously it's using the main domain as one of them.
But for example, let's just say you found a deal here
that's actually open one, lets close this
it's open one of the deals, lets go to deals.
And this is one of them by this deal.
69 bucks, it's a lifetime deal if you guys want to grab it.
Check it out. So I'm driving this link.
I'm copying the link.
I put in it here,
over here, here.
And I'm going to change the campaign name
to Obion because that's what it's about and I'll generate the URL.
So now we have this URL available that we can use to promote.
So that's what we're using.
And we're going to statistics right here, so you got the statistics right here.
So it's unpaid referrals, paid referrals, visits, conversion rates, unpaid earnings.
So this is an affiliate this is what the user is going to see.
You can see their commission rate
percentage is 25 percent by default.
There's a graph available.
There's no information right now. But they would see this.
You've got all this info right here, the filters, you got referrals.
She would have a list of referrals
that you've made right here, like the one we saw over there on the dashboard.
They would see, but only their own.
There's a payout.
So they would see the information right here.
So wait for it to open.
Sorry about this site is a bit slow, referrals paid out, the information
here, visits, they would see a list of the visits creative's.
Remember I told you where they would see
the banners and all that, that I should remove this because I'm not
using it, but I guess I will start using it.
I will start giving the users the ability to use banners.
It might help them out instead of like
making their own images or taking time to do it, you can give it to them.
There's a settings where you can set where
they want to be paid out in the information and log out, obviously.
Let's close this.
Well, as you can see, that's affiliateWP,
it's a whole system to have your own affiliate system inside of WordPress,
super easy, super fast, super recommended for anyone.
I mean, if you're not using affiliates to sell, you're actually losing money.
It's not about giving like you're giving a percentage off to these people,
but you're actually losing more and not having the system to actually do sales.
Well, guys, that's a feeling.
Like I said, if you guys want to grab this deal, the link will be in the description.
And as obviously with this video, it's an affiliate link.
It will cost you one single cent more.
But will give me a commission to help out
and make these videos, grab deals for you and make more videos.
Well, guys, my name is George.
This is SaaSmaster Master.
And I'll see you guys later.
