Affiliate Marketing Themes
Anyone used Affiliate Theme on WordPress?
I’m trying to start into affiliate marketing but wondered if this is the best way for me to go. I am also learning HTML and CSS coding, so I thought whether or not I should creae my own landing websites as this would be alot cheaper for me. Is Affiliate Theme worth going for or should I learn the skills myself? Do the affiliate theme last for a year or what? Cheers.
I got into affiliate marketing in 1997. I never learned to code a site from scratch. I started out using the free FrontPage Express that used to come with Windows. Then I upgraded to the paid version and stuck with it for years. Also bought Expression Web when Microsoft completely rewrote FrontPage from the ground up. I had a lot of money invested into software.
Then I started getting involved with WordPress and when I saw how easy it was to deploy a site and NOT to have to mess around with creating web pages, I shelved all of my old website building software.
However, since I’m not a coder, I was stuck with other peoples’ free WordPress themes and that was frustrating because I didn’t always like the colors and especially didn’t like the header graphics.
Then I found some WordPress theme builder software called Artisteer http://goo.gl/VV02Y and I started building my own WordPress themes and never looked back.
So in answer to your question about learning the skills yourself, don’t do it unless you plan on making a career out of it. Simply because you’ll have no time left to promote your affiliate products. But, therein lies the magic with Affiliate Theme…it’s all about getting those sites up fast without having to code.
Affiliate Theme seems like a pretty powerful theme. I thought it was a little pricey at $147. Artisteer is less than $50 and you can make endless themes for both WordPress and Blogger. (The pro version also makes Joomla, Drupal, DotNetNuke, ASP.net and CodeCharge Studio templates.) That’s more creativity for less money.
Affiliate Theme is heavily geared towards images and a lot of affiliate offers don’t allow you to copy images from their home website, you have to use the banners they provide. I think Affiliate Theme would look a little sparse if the images where missing or if you didn’t have offers to place within all of the cells. Not sure what you do with blank cells as in that 4-column layout.
All in all, I think Affiliate Theme is a great theme, just plan ahead when chosing layouts for the products you’ll be promoting. It’s cool that you can use it on unlimited domains. A lot of paid themes require you to purchase a developer license to be able to do that. One thing that I don’t like is that you don’t get access to the documentation in their resource center unless you buy the theme. I’d like to know what happens if you start off with one layout and then later on want to switch to a different one. Questions like that should be answered upfront. They also say they have a support forum, but it’s a dead link. Same with suggestions for web hosting companies. Another dead link.
