Hello it's Alex here from WP Eagle.
Hope you're all well, thanks for watching.
So yeah in this video we're gonna be exploring
the different types of affiliate marketing website
that you can create and are out there on the internet
to give you some inspiration and some ideas.
So that you can go out and create your very own site.
Now, I've got a number of tutorials on my channel
which show exactly how to create
an affiliate marketing website.
And I will be adding links to them
as we go through video
in the relevant spots.
So be sure to check them out.
And if you miss the cards you can always find them
in the description below.
By the way I've also got a number of other videos
in the pipeline which I'm hoping to upload
over the next few weeks.
All about, again, creating your own affiliate marketing
website, so be sure to subscribe
by clicking on the button below
and click the little bell icon, so that you don't miss out
when I do upload those.
But anyway let's get started and let me tell you about
a few of the different affiliate marketing websites
that are out there.
Great the first one I want to mention is a blog site.
So this is your kind of basic
vanilla sort of affiliate marketing website.
When I say basic that doesn't mean you can't
earn big money off them, you certainly can.
A blog is basically just a collection of content.
A good example of this is an affiliate site
called BabyGearLab.com.
On here you'll find loads of articles and how-tos
and reviews, just basically loads of content all around.
Baby Gear, so it really helps people that are looking
to make a purchase in the baby niche.
They've got articles for example on how
to choose a stroller, the best nappies.
All sorts of things, everything a parent
needs to know really when their gonna have a baby,
or they've already got a baby.
The great thing about this site is that
they actually purchase all the products
that they're gonna be talking about.
Now that sounds quite excessive I know
and obviously not every affiliate needs to do that.
You can created your content
without buying all the products.
But this really gives them an extra bit of credibility
and it allows them to churn out lots and lots of really
high quality content.
The second sort of affiliate marketing website
is an ecommerce site.
Now I do have a number of tutorials
on how to create one of these on the channel,
so be sure to check out the card and the links below.
But the benefit of having an ecommerce site
is that you have a blog, just like the first sort of site.
But then you also have a selection of products
on your site as well and it kind of looks
like a traditional ecommerce site.
This allows people to kind of browse around
and add products to their cart.
And then when they check out they then
get redirected off to the merchant,
for example Amazon.
And when they make their purchase you get the commission.
You do still need blog content in order for these to work.
But the benefit of having lots of products on your site
means that you often get found for long tail searches.
So when people are searching for
things that are very particular
and they're typing in long product names and codes
and that sort of thing,
there's a good chance that your product pages
will come up for those searches
and you'll get traffic that way.
You will need a plug in or some other sort of software
to help you manage this and kind of pull products in
via an API.
But yeah they're a good site to have and as I say
they allow you to pick up a lot of long tail searches
as well as getting traffic to your main content
like you would with a blog site.
Third sort of site I want to talk about is a
review focused site, so it's very similar to a blog site,
but it's geared towards just offering reviews.
So an example of this would be a website
that I may awhile back which was all around
WordPress themes,
where I add a load of content and added loads of reviews.
And it had kind of star ratings, that kind of thing.
I've put a link up to the video tutorial
on how you can make a site just like that.
But yeah, it's a site that very focused on reviews,
that's the kind of main content
that you're gonna be offering.
And you're helping people buy by reviewing products.
And then obviously liking off with your affiliate links,
so that people can make the purchase.
The fourth sort of site that I want to talk about
is a voucher code site.
Now I'm sure you're familiar with these.
A big one is vouchercodes.co.uk in the UK.
There's a tonne of sites out there to offer voucher codes.
And it is a very competitive niche,
especially the more general sites.
A way that you could possibly enter this market
would be to have a niche voucher code site.
So maybe you just, you know voucher codes
for health products or baby products,
or some very specific niche.
But basically this way this works is you create a site
and you offer a lot of sort of voucher discount codes.
And in order for someone to access those codes
they have to click a button or something like that then,
sends them off to the merchant site
via your affiliate links in the gate cookied.
Or indeed you'd create some voucher codes
via your affiliate campaigns that you have
with these merchants.
And then when someone uses that code
they're then able to track that sale back to you
and you get your commission.
So again, fourth type of site is a voucher code site.
Number five is a comparison site.
Now I'm currently in the process of actually making
my own comparison site.
But as the name suggest a comparison site is just
a place where people can go
when they're looking for a certain type of product.
And it allows them to compare prices
and stock available to you, that kind of thing, very easily.
Now I'm creating one all around trainers,
or sneakers as you say in the States.
And it's gonna be you know, very specific
in a very specific niche and it allows people
to find the cheapest price of trainer.
The way you do this is use a plug in,
for example Content Egg, or something similar like that,
Where you can pull in lots of prices via an API.
I'm using Affiliate Window,
Commission Junction and Amazon.
And you're pulling all the data from all those guys
then laying it out really nicely,
so people can clearly see
where they can get the product for the cheapest price.
If you're thinking of doing a comparison site,
again similar to the voucher codes,
I'd make sure that you go into a specific niche.
That way you've got a good chance of getting ranked.
And again kind of all these sites
they are gonna need content.
So you are gonna need a blog somewhere within there
where you can serve up some good content
and help people make a purchase.
That brings us to the end of this video,
I hope you've found it useful.
I hope it's inspired you
and kind of given you some clarity in terms of the
sort of site that you want to create.
As I said I've got tutorials on a number
of these different types of sites.
So I've got tutorials on how to create
an ecommerce type site, how to do the review site.
And as I say in the pipeline I've got
a video coming through on how to create the blog site
and the comparison site.
