Affiliate Marketing

Below you’ll find the posts at Sugarrae from the affiliate marketing category. I highly recommend you read each of them if you’re serious about making an income as an affiliate marketer.

If you’re brand new to the affiliate game, I’d recommend reading the beginner basics of affiliate marketing we wrote for the 5 Star Affiliate Programs Blog and then get to work on your first site. You can find a variety of affiliate programs at the following bigger affiliate networks:

If you’re a more seasoned affiliate, your first stop should be our affiliate evolution post followed by watching the video interview I did about affiliate marketing in today’s world at PubCon 2008:

Sugarrae runs on the Thesis WordPress Theme

Thesis WordPress theme

If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.

For those "in between", like myself, I’ve created "dummy" guides for Thesis hooks that allow us to make more professional customizations than we ever deemed possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it has allowed me to have sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than it ever has been able to achieve before. You can find out more about Thesis below:
