00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:04,970
Setting up an affiliate program can be
one of the best things you can do if you
1
00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:06,620
are starting your online business.
2
00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:08,100
Now, this is something that probably
3
00:00:08,109 --> 00:00:11,640
won't come right at the beginning, but it
definitely could if you planned it the
4
00:00:11,650 --> 00:00:14,720
right way.
Affiliate programs are so important in
5
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:20,340
this industry as you can use and leverage
somebody else's traffic to bring in
6
00:00:20,350 --> 00:00:21,850
customers for yourself.
7
00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:23,770
And this is something that lots of people
8
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:26,350
do in the industry and it works so well.
9
00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:28,930
Now I have another video that I did on
10
00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:30,310
affiliate programs where.
11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,570
Talk a little bit more about the how the,
12
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:37,450
why the win, win, all of those types of
details and you can check that video
13
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,330
here. But this one I'm going to walk you
14
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:42,250
through setting up your affiliate
program.
15
00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:47,230
Now there's a lot of different options
for affiliate program plugins for
16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,210
websites, but there's really one in the
industry that is very common and that is
17
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:55,300
affiliate WP.
And so that's the one I'm going to be
18
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:58,300
showing you how to walk through and set
up today.
19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,150
So we're going to jump right in enjoy if
you are new here, welcome to the channel.
20
00:01:03,190 --> 00:01:06,170
I am Nathan and I run WP school.
21
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:07,840
And if you guys have any video ideas for
22
00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:10,400
my, throw them in the comments and I'll
do my best to get to them.
23
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:11,610
All right, let's go.
24
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:14,480
All right, so First off, let's look at
25
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:15,830
the affiliate WP website.
26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,940
There's a reason why this is kind of the
27
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:22,560
industry standard as far as affiliate
programs.
28
00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:25,860
It's because they are really
full-featured and they have about
29
00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:27,600
everything that you could possibly need.
30
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:30,440
There are so many features I'm not even
31
00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:31,210
going to mention.
32
00:01:31,220 --> 00:01:31,900
All of them.
33
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:36,750
We could probably do a whole video on
just the features included with affiliate
34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,140
WP. I'm not only do they have tons of
35
00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:43,680
features, but they integrate with lots of
very important things that you're going
36
00:01:43,690 --> 00:01:46,710
to need, different forms, different
payment options, different membership
37
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:49,040
plugins. So anyway, they're just very
38
00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:50,360
full-featured and very helpful.
39
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:52,820
Now pricing or not going to talk too much
40
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:58,940
about the pricing, pricing changes, it
just depends on the time, but there are a
41
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:00,930
couple of different options here now.
42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,750
You can do a custom plan.
43
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,410
If you need something really custom, you
can do lots of different things, personal
44
00:02:07,420 --> 00:02:08,860
plus professional now.
45
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:11,060
All of these things are all of these
46
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:12,280
prices are per year.
47
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:13,660
Now what I would recommend is that you
48
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:17,150
get one of the higher plans so that you
can get some of the addons.
49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,200
These addons are really important to
making our affiliate program run
50
00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:23,300
correctly. There are a lot of affiliate plugins,
51
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:26,820
some of them might even be free and even
with this one you can get a cheaper
52
00:02:26,830 --> 00:02:30,160
option. But the problem is without all of these
53
00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:34,100
add-ons it just does not work and does
not function as you would want it to.
54
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:38,970
So what I would recommend is going with
the highest option here, the professional
55
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:41,780
plan. And I only say that because affiliate
56
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,910
programs have the potential to make you a
lot of money.
57
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,410
Now, 300$ a year is a lot of money.
58
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:49,020
But just think, if you could get one or
59
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:52,810
two or three really good affiliates
making you a few sales a year, you can
60
00:02:52,820 --> 00:02:57,130
easily recoup the money that you've put
into your affiliate program anyway.
61
00:02:57,140 --> 00:03:02,030
So buying the professional plan, we'll
get you all of the add-ons, all of their
62
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,530
free add-ons.
That'll get you updates, and you can put
63
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:05,780
it on up to 10 sites.
64
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:07,750
So it's just a really good investment for
65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,820
your business, all right, once you have
purchased.
66
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:16,180
You've downloaded the plugin and then you
upload it back to your site.
67
00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:17,820
Now it's time to configure everything.
68
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:19,820
So I'm going to walk you through and just
69
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:23,840
kind of show you everything that you need
to look at when you are just getting
70
00:03:23,850 --> 00:03:26,390
started so you can become familiar with
the plugin.
71
00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:30,640
First off, you're going to see it in your
sidebar here under affiliates, and I'm
72
00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:33,530
just going to click on it so we can see
the menu here.
73
00:03:33,850 --> 00:03:38,360
So here's the menu, the affiliate WP
menu, starting with the overview.
74
00:03:38,370 --> 00:03:41,370
This is just like your dashboard page
showing you.
75
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:45,900
How much you've paid, how much you've
earned paid earnings today.
76
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:49,650
You can look at your most valuable
Affiliates, recent referrals, recent
77
00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:52,590
referral visits.
You just have a very easy, quick look at
78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,900
everything that's going on going down
affiliates.
79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,590
Now this is where you're actually going
to see the people who are affiliates to
80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,560
your program.
And so when you add someone to your
81
00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:05,540
affiliate program, this is where you'll
do it alright so I'm going to add myself
82
00:04:05,550 --> 00:04:06,890
as an affiliate here.
83
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:08,540
You can see user login name.
84
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:11,960
So you're going to need each user to
create a login onto your site.
85
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:15,620
If they don't have a login to your site,
they're not going to be able to be an
86
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:17,760
affiliate. So they'll create a login to your site,
87
00:04:17,769 --> 00:04:21,670
and generally speaking, you'll have your
affiliates fill out a form, which we'll
88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,960
talk about a little bit later.
89
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:24,800
Affiliate WP integrates with forms, so
90
00:04:24,810 --> 00:04:28,790
you can create a form asking certain
questions, getting certain details, and
91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,950
then they'll fill out the form, create
the profile on your website.
92
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,680
So I'm just going to do mine.
93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,460
I'm going to do Nathan, and it's going to
94
00:04:35,470 --> 00:04:37,880
search for my user account.
95
00:04:37,890 --> 00:04:38,840
There it is.
96
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:43,670
Now I can set my affiliate status so I
can set it as active, inactive, or
97
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,750
pending. So when you have someone fill out the
98
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,900
form, what you can do is have it so when
they submit the form to you, they'll show
99
00:04:50,910 --> 00:04:54,860
up here, but they'll show up as pending,
and then you will review the form and
100
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:59,170
then you will decide whether to allow
them to be an affiliate or not.
101
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,860
I wouldn't recommend letting everybody be
an affiliate.
102
00:05:02,030 --> 00:05:06,000
Some people do not have your best
intention in mind and they'll do it in a
103
00:05:06,010 --> 00:05:06,830
very spammy way.
104
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,330
So you kind of want to vet each of your
105
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:11,670
Affiliates for myself, of course I'll set
it as active.
106
00:05:11,910 --> 00:05:14,560
Now you can set the referral rate type
now.
107
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:15,790
This is really nice.
108
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:18,840
You can set a site wide default, so you
109
00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:22,980
can set.
I want to pay everybody this amount and
110
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:24,490
just have it site wide.
111
00:05:24,610 --> 00:05:25,900
This is good.
112
00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:29,230
It's OK in the beginning if you don't
want to spend a lot of time customizing
113
00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:32,420
everything, but you can also do it.
114
00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:35,660
On a per person basis, so I can set it as
115
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:41,130
a percentage and then set what percentage
I'd like 20 % or I can do a flat rate and
116
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:45,980
what I and then if I choose flat rate, it
will allow me to choose if I do a flat
117
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:48,070
rate Commission per product per order.
118
00:05:48,530 --> 00:05:49,980
So there's just a couple of different
119
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:53,650
options here.
Personally, I use a percentage.
120
00:05:53,660 --> 00:05:54,370
I think it's nice.
121
00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:56,070
Say, OK, you've made a sale on this
122
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,020
hundred dollar product.
123
00:05:57,030 --> 00:05:58,490
You get 20 % 20 bucks.
124
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,260
Easy, easy to figure out, not difficult
at all.
125
00:06:01,390 --> 00:06:04,290
And then there are payment email, again
this is something, another question
126
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:05,600
you'll put on their form.
127
00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:07,190
You can just say what is your payment
128
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680
email and then that will be here.
129
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:11,470
You can add affiliate notes, which is
130
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,530
nice. And if you have an affiliate that's been
131
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:16,370
a little bit naughty, then you can write
notes about them here.
132
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:19,720
Or if you have someone that's performing
really well, you can just note down some
133
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:22,860
things here.
And I think it's nice they tell you here
134
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,590
these notes are only visible to admin, so
you can write whatever you want about the
135
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,720
affiliate without them seeing it.
136
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,270
Another nice thing here is you can send a
137
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:35,620
welcome email after registering them as
an affiliate, which is great.
138
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,030
You will need to set up that email, which
we will go through a little bit later.
139
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,490
All right, Next up is referrals.
140
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:43,130
This is a really cool page because it
141
00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:47,210
shows you all of the Affiliates and all
of the referrals they've made.
142
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:49,870
So it's going to show you the referral ID
of the affiliate.
143
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,100
It's going to show you the amount of the
Commission.
144
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,030
That you're actually paying them.
145
00:06:54,130 --> 00:06:55,500
It's going to give the Affiliates
146
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:58,200
username here.
It'll give you a description and
147
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:00,010
reference for what they sold.
148
00:07:00,210 --> 00:07:01,620
Type will be a sale.
149
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:02,700
It will give you the date.
150
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:04,980
It just gives you every piece of data
151
00:07:04,990 --> 00:07:07,640
here as far as what your Affiliates are
doing.
152
00:07:07,650 --> 00:07:09,630
So you can see updated info here.
153
00:07:09,730 --> 00:07:11,420
You can see everyone that's been paid,
154
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:13,090
unpaid, pending or rejected.
155
00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:14,560
So it's really nice.
156
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:15,660
This one's just great.
157
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:17,100
There's obviously nothing here because I
158
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:18,740
have not made any sales yet.
159
00:07:18,890 --> 00:07:21,880
All right, moving on to payouts, now
160
00:07:21,890 --> 00:07:25,620
this. Is why affiliates have chosen to be a
161
00:07:25,630 --> 00:07:26,560
part of your business.
162
00:07:26,570 --> 00:07:27,580
They want to get paid.
163
00:07:27,590 --> 00:07:31,380
And so this was really important because
you need to make sure you take care of
164
00:07:31,390 --> 00:07:33,880
your Affiliates as much as you expect
from them.
165
00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:34,860
You should also return.
166
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:36,670
So you're going to see your payout ID,
167
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,930
how much you owe them, who the affiliate
is, what they were referred for on the
168
00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:43,580
data referred they were referring on.
169
00:07:43,810 --> 00:07:45,100
All right. So all of that information is
170
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:46,700
here. And then up at the top, you're going to
171
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:50,400
be able to see reports, you can manage
the referrals and you can also pay
172
00:07:50,410 --> 00:07:52,140
affiliate. So if I click pay affiliates.
173
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,970
You can see I can put in the affiliates
name, put in the start date, put in the
174
00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:59,310
end date.
It's going to pull all of that data for
175
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,000
me when I when the affiliate commissions
were actually made.
176
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,970
I can set a minimum amount of money that
needs to be generated or paid out so that
177
00:08:09,980 --> 00:08:12,870
I'm not just paying out 5$ at a time.
178
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,610
Because a lot of places like PayPal or
179
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:18,460
Stripe or whatever, they do take a
percentage of every transaction.
180
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,790
So if you're paying off 5 bucks and they
take 10 % each time, I mean you're losing
181
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,760
money. Every time.
182
00:08:23,770 --> 00:08:26,240
So anyway, that's just something to keep
in mind.
183
00:08:26,250 --> 00:08:27,260
And then payout method.
184
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:29,250
You can do manual or you can do payout
185
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:33,539
services, you can connect PayPal or other
payment options, and then you'll preview
186
00:08:33,549 --> 00:08:35,570
the payout and then you'll pay your
affiliate.
187
00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:36,760
It's really nice.
188
00:08:36,770 --> 00:08:38,700
You can do manual payouts or you can just
189
00:08:38,710 --> 00:08:39,659
do mass payouts.
190
00:08:39,669 --> 00:08:41,580
Everyone should have submitted their
191
00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:45,660
emails or their payment information, and
then you can just send out a mass payment
192
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:49,860
at the beginning of every month or every
two weeks or depending on how often you
193
00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:50,870
want to do payments.
194
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:52,990
All right, we're going to look here.
195
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:59,970
At visits now, this one is probably one
of my favorite pages because I can see
196
00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:06,860
where the users who are being referred,
what page they're landing on, and who the
197
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:08,750
referring URL was.
198
00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:11,560
So I can see all of the information here.
199
00:09:11,570 --> 00:09:15,280
So if there's something that seems a
little bit fishy to me, just the other
200
00:09:15,290 --> 00:09:21,960
week I had an affiliate who made a sale
and the customer contacted me.
201
00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:23,700
The person was referred and said hey.
202
00:09:23,710 --> 00:09:24,880
I clicked on this coupon.
203
00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:27,610
They said there was a coupon, but I think
it was just an affiliate.
204
00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:30,310
They were just trying to earn an
affiliate Commission.
205
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,680
So we were able to hunt them down because
I could go in here and see what the URL
206
00:09:34,690 --> 00:09:40,510
was, and I could see, oh, they put that
URL behind a fake coupon button and then
207
00:09:40,650 --> 00:09:42,740
of course they would be kicked out of the
program.
208
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:44,020
So this one's really nice.
209
00:09:44,030 --> 00:09:46,180
It tells you if the person converted or
210
00:09:46,190 --> 00:09:48,980
not, and then it gives their referral ID
and then the affiliate name.
211
00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:52,540
So that's a really nice one here to kind
of keep track of affiliates and maybe if
212
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:53,880
there's any funny business.
213
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:54,780
Going on.
214
00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:57,810
All right, next, here we have creatives.
215
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,730
This is a place where you can create
216
00:10:01,510 --> 00:10:05,510
different images or sort of ad type
things.
217
00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:09,610
If you want your, for example, your
Affiliates to put something in their
218
00:10:09,620 --> 00:10:14,340
sidebar, you could build out a little
sidebar image that says, here's my
219
00:10:14,350 --> 00:10:15,790
product, it's on sale, whatever.
220
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,200
You can do different promotions and you
221
00:10:17,210 --> 00:10:20,860
can create those creatives here and add
them.
222
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:22,350
So if I just hit add new.
223
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,670
It's just going to give me the option
224
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:29,470
here to put a name in a description, a
URL, text, image, whatever it is.
225
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,380
And then those creatives can be used in
banners, it can be used in sidebars,
226
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,970
footers, whatever it is.
227
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:36,990
I mean just you can make nice graphics
228
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,050
for your affiliates and this is going to
help them promote your product.
229
00:10:40,060 --> 00:10:42,460
So it is well worth your time to do this.
230
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:44,880
Next we have reports.
231
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:46,310
Reports are awesome.
232
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:49,480
Affiliate WP probably has some of the
233
00:10:49,490 --> 00:10:51,430
best reports that I've seen.
234
00:10:51,570 --> 00:10:53,200
I've worked on a few other affiliate
235
00:10:53,210 --> 00:10:57,170
program platforms and it just wasn't as
helpful.
236
00:10:58,030 --> 00:11:03,580
So here I can see my paid earnings all
time this month, unpaid earnings this
237
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:05,980
month, paid or unpaid referrals.
238
00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:08,260
I can see my average referral amount.
239
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:10,400
So if I have multiple products I can see
Kawata.
240
00:11:10,410 --> 00:11:13,240
My averaging paying I can see.
241
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:15,190
Trends throughout the year anyway.
242
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,670
There's a lot of really great things.
243
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:20,010
I can see different stats for my
244
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:23,030
affiliates. I can see total affiliates, new
245
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,670
affiliates, top earning affiliates,
highest converting affiliates.
246
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,210
And the beauty of this here is that you
can identify who is making you the most
247
00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:35,440
money and you can give them incentives to
push them out even harder.
248
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:38,700
And if you see someone who's struggling
or they're just not really doing them out
249
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:42,930
that much for your program, then you can
just kick them out, get rid of them
250
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:45,480
because. Really this is about you moving your
251
00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:48,300
business forward.
So if they're not participating really,
252
00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:51,040
then what's the point of them being there
anyway?
253
00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:53,700
There's a lot of great stats here.
254
00:11:53,710 --> 00:11:55,460
You can look at payouts, you can look at
255
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:57,360
visits, you can look at different
campaigns.
256
00:11:57,370 --> 00:12:03,330
So if you created, let's say you created
one of those creatives and you said, OK,
257
00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:04,590
everyone put this in your sidebar.
258
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,280
We're doing a sale this month.
259
00:12:06,290 --> 00:12:10,320
You can actually go and do a campaign and
say, hey, this month we did this much
260
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:13,030
money. We did this, my top referrer was this,
261
00:12:13,130 --> 00:12:15,140
you can do a lot of really cool.
262
00:12:15,150 --> 00:12:18,250
Things and as long as you have your all
263
00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:21,600
of your affiliates set up correctly, it
just pulls all that data for you.
264
00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:23,720
All right, Next up, we have tools.
265
00:12:24,330 --> 00:12:25,780
Now this is where we're talking a little
266
00:12:25,790 --> 00:12:28,150
bit more setup sort of things.
267
00:12:28,530 --> 00:12:30,440
So if you have a previous affiliate
268
00:12:30,450 --> 00:12:34,790
program and you want to import all of
your old Affiliates, then you can import
269
00:12:34,950 --> 00:12:38,480
or you can export a CSV with all of those
things in there.
270
00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:43,360
So if you're moving from an affiliate
program that you want to switch off of,
271
00:12:43,370 --> 00:12:45,430
then you can move all of your Affiliates.
272
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:47,680
You can also export affiliates.
273
00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:52,260
You can export payouts, payout visit,
different visits, settings, all of those
274
00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:54,280
different things.
Anything that, any data that you want to
275
00:12:54,290 --> 00:12:56,330
import or export, you can do that.
276
00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:58,190
If you want to work with your payout data
277
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,980
and say OK, over this last year I've paid
out this much, we've made this much, how
278
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:04,760
was that different from last year?
You know, you can work with a lot of
279
00:13:04,770 --> 00:13:05,820
different numbers that way.
280
00:13:05,830 --> 00:13:08,240
So there's a lot of options here for the
281
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:10,610
import and import and export options.
282
00:13:11,370 --> 00:13:15,900
Also as far as the API keys, you are
283
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:16,870
depending on what.
284
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,860
Means you're working with.
285
00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:21,630
Depending on what connections you're
making with other platforms or services,
286
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,420
you may need to have API keys or generate
API keys, so I've not done that.
287
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:30,290
That's probably something in the
beginning you won't have to worry about.
288
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:33,400
Let's see recount affiliate stats.
289
00:13:33,410 --> 00:13:35,400
This tool to use this tool to recount
290
00:13:35,410 --> 00:13:39,230
affiliate statistics.
Again, just a nice thing that they have
291
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,800
there for you.
292
00:13:39,810 --> 00:13:42,280
They have a migration assistant again if
293
00:13:42,290 --> 00:13:45,890
you're going to be migrating different
things, different accounts or different
294
00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:48,160
files or anything like that.
295
00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:49,530
And then system info.
296
00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:53,620
I'm going to show you this here now on
the screen but also blur it out because
297
00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:58,770
it shows my system info and this is all
just good information for you to have and
298
00:13:58,780 --> 00:13:59,630
then settings.
299
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,090
All those settings that we just looked at
300
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:05,620
more than likely are not going to have to
worry about them in the beginning.
301
00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:09,060
Those are probably more on the complex
side, but they're good to know that
302
00:14:09,070 --> 00:14:11,240
they're there.
All right, so our settings here, well,
303
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:12,980
let's just walk through all these
settings.
304
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:20,250
So in order to make an active account for
your affiliate WP, you're going to log
305
00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:24,150
into affiliate WWP, pay, download, upload
the plugin, and then you're going to go
306
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,000
back to your Philly WWP account and
you're going to have to enter a license
307
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,250
key. This is just how they keep track of how
308
00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:34,850
many people have it on their right or if
I have, if I paid to have it on three
309
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:37,030
sites and I try and put it on four, they
won't allow it.
310
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,870
So anyway I need to put in a license key
and then I need to create certain pages
311
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,290
from my affiliate so they can log in.
312
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:46,390
So here there will be an affiliate area
313
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,870
where it will show them their link, it
will show them their stats, it'll show
314
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,870
them their payouts, it's going to show
them all of those things.
315
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,360
So my affiliate area here I can choose
what page I would like that on.
316
00:14:57,370 --> 00:15:00,630
They have it already set and they've pre
created pages.
317
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,740
So when you download.
318
00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:02,610
Or upload the plugin.
319
00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:08,780
I mean it will have pages on there kind
of pre made for you so but that is there
320
00:15:08,950 --> 00:15:12,440
and then as soon as you publish this page
you'll have your affiliate area.
321
00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:17,390
This will also help you find out and
create the login and logout space.
322
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,750
So for logged out users your affiliate
area should show as a login or a sign up
323
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,800
page and then once they've logged in it
will show the affiliate area.
324
00:15:25,810 --> 00:15:29,090
That is something that kind of confused
me for a while that I had to work through
325
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:29,990
a little bit.
326
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:31,620
All right terms of use.
327
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:38,650
You can create a terms of use page and
then link it here referral settings.
328
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:43,660
You can change what the referral link
looks like so you can change it to really
329
00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:44,240
whatever you want.
330
00:15:44,250 --> 00:15:46,370
Right now it's just ref, but if you want
331
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:49,360
the link to look like something else or
to say something else, then you can do
332
00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:52,950
that. You can also show whether you like the
333
00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:57,840
link to have their user ID or their
affiliate ID or their user name.
334
00:15:57,850 --> 00:15:59,950
Again, that's just up to you.
335
00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:02,030
I don't think there's a better or best.
336
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,310
Way, but it's just whatever you think is
best.
337
00:16:04,970 --> 00:16:08,800
All right, this shows here whether you
can use pretty links.
338
00:16:08,810 --> 00:16:13,640
So if I was wanting to make a
recommendation to a certain company and I
339
00:16:13,650 --> 00:16:17,600
just wanted to make a pretty link, this
will decide if they want me to do that or
340
00:16:17,610 --> 00:16:21,870
not. This is a really cool setting here.
341
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,570
Credit the last affiliate who referred
the customer so you can choose who gets
342
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:27,660
the affiliate Commission.
343
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:29,470
So let's say I'm someone who's
344
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,730
interested, interested in a product, and
I go watch 10 YouTube videos of people
345
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:37,700
who are kind of affiliates or referring
or reviewing this product.
346
00:16:37,940 --> 00:16:42,870
If I click on the 1st link, then that
cookie there, that will that link will be
347
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,340
valid for probably 10 to 15 days
depending on what you set it for.
348
00:16:46,350 --> 00:16:49,860
We're going to get to that setting in a
minute, but then if I go watch another
349
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,660
review. And I click on that one, then that
350
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:56,620
invalidates the last link that I clicked.
351
00:16:56,630 --> 00:17:00,340
So by this setting here, you can see that
352
00:17:00,350 --> 00:17:05,480
it will allow you to choose who gets the
affiliate Commission.
353
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:10,930
So you can choose, let's see where did it
go credit the last affiliate who referred
354
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:11,420
the customer.
355
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:14,200
So you can either make it so the first
356
00:17:14,210 --> 00:17:17,079
link they clicked gets the affiliate
Commission or you can make it so that the
357
00:17:17,089 --> 00:17:19,060
last click gets the affiliate Commission.
358
00:17:19,069 --> 00:17:20,660
It's whatever you think is fair.
359
00:17:20,670 --> 00:17:24,829
Personally I think it's more fair that
whoever brought them in to the brand,
360
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,530
whoever introduced them to the brand, it
seems to me like they should get the
361
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:30,870
Commission. But again it's up to you here again you
362
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,530
can change site wide your referral type
percentage or flat rate referral rate.
363
00:17:36,540 --> 00:17:40,820
Here you'll see if the referral excludes
shipping and tax.
364
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,830
Here you can set your cookie expiration,
expiration so you can say alright they
365
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,930
click the link and then what this means
is that they have one day.
366
00:17:48,940 --> 00:17:50,670
So if I set it for one it will be.
367
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,240
One day that they have to buy within for
368
00:17:53,250 --> 00:17:55,050
the affiliate to get the Commission.
369
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:57,260
I think it depends on the product.
370
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:59,520
It depends on how much the product costs.
371
00:17:59,530 --> 00:18:02,980
If it's like a 5$ product, a one or two
372
00:18:02,990 --> 00:18:05,590
day Cookie is probably good.
373
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,670
If it's an expensive product like 500$
374
00:18:08,290 --> 00:18:13,020
then maybe set the cookie length for 15
days or 30 days because someone is less
375
00:18:13,030 --> 00:18:16,300
likely to spend 500$ the first time they
click through the link.
376
00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:19,990
So in order to be fair to the affiliate,
it's good to set different cookie
377
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,070
lengths. Depending on how much the product costs.
378
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:25,770
Alright here you can just look at.
379
00:18:25,850 --> 00:18:27,760
You can choose different currency symbols
380
00:18:27,770 --> 00:18:29,220
depending on where you are.
381
00:18:29,230 --> 00:18:30,840
You can choose where you want the symbol
382
00:18:30,850 --> 00:18:34,820
placed. I don't really care, but sure you can do
383
00:18:34,830 --> 00:18:38,600
thousands separator, decimal separator
and then affiliate form.
384
00:18:38,610 --> 00:18:41,530
So affiliate registration form and
affiliate login form.
385
00:18:41,950 --> 00:18:45,590
So you can select which forms you would
like to show here.
386
00:18:45,690 --> 00:18:50,260
Now I did mention that you can actually
create your own form and you would do
387
00:18:50,270 --> 00:18:55,930
that here.
Up at the top, so it's affiliate WP
388
00:18:55,940 --> 00:18:57,590
integrates with different form options.
389
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,730
I think one is ninja forms.
390
00:18:59,740 --> 00:19:01,200
It works with ninja forms.
391
00:19:01,210 --> 00:19:02,810
So you could download a free version of
392
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:08,150
Ninja Forms, Create a ninja form and say
all of your affiliate application
393
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,420
questions make a form in Ninja forms.
394
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,190
And then here you can choose that your
395
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,100
affiliate area forms would be.
396
00:19:15,260 --> 00:19:16,990
And then it's going to show that ninja
397
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,380
form here if you link your ninja forms.
398
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:22,080
Do affiliate WP.
399
00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:24,800
So the way that you do that is through
integrations.
400
00:19:25,890 --> 00:19:31,980
And you can see here contact form 7
formidable gravity forms and then ninja
401
00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:33,200
forms. So I use ninja forms.
402
00:19:33,210 --> 00:19:38,220
So if I click that check mark then I can
save the changes and then my ninja form
403
00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:42,110
will show there and then I can use my
ninja form rather than the pre built form
404
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,270
that they gave me.
405
00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:45,400
So these are all the integrations that
406
00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:47,480
affiliate WP has.
407
00:19:47,490 --> 00:19:49,480
There are a lot and there's different
408
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:55,530
form ones, downloads, there's just a lot
here, membership plugins and programs.
409
00:19:55,950 --> 00:20:01,620
Paypal different payment options?
There's different carts available so
410
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:03,230
pretty much everything that you could
need.
411
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,880
There is a tool available that it will
link with.
412
00:20:05,890 --> 00:20:10,960
Alright, so if you have a product and opt
in product then you can set an amount for
413
00:20:10,970 --> 00:20:16,780
your affiliates to receive for each opt
in referral status you can set depending
414
00:20:16,790 --> 00:20:21,260
or unpaid and then a message sent to the
opt in showing opt in success.
415
00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:25,560
So you can customize that message here
that will send to your affiliate every
416
00:20:25,570 --> 00:20:28,010
time someone opt in opt in.
417
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:29,970
I don't use this setting.
418
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:33,700
But if that is something that would work
for you, it's very simple, very easily
419
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:34,690
laid out here.
420
00:20:34,790 --> 00:20:35,160
All right.
421
00:20:35,170 --> 00:20:37,130
Next up we have are the emails.
422
00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:40,640
So you remember earlier that you can have
423
00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:46,460
emails present to your affiliates when
they make sales or when they sign up or
424
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:48,140
when they're accepted to the program.
425
00:20:48,150 --> 00:20:49,860
Here is the place where you're going to
426
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:51,550
configure all of those emails.
427
00:20:51,970 --> 00:20:54,370
So the first one is you can do a logo on
428
00:20:54,380 --> 00:20:56,050
your email whatever email template.
429
00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:58,120
If you wanted to put templates, that's
430
00:20:58,130 --> 00:21:00,390
fine, you can choose who is the email
from.
431
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:02,970
You can choose the name and then the
actual email.
432
00:21:02,980 --> 00:21:09,250
Address you can choose to have email
notifications sent to you when these
433
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:15,070
tasks happen and if you don't want those
then uncheck the boxes and then affiliate
434
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,790
manager email you can have here.
435
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,510
So that will be that people can contact
436
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,170
you. And then here you can see there's this
437
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:27,230
line break here and then this is going to
show you what this email is for all right
438
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,210
next email here new referral email
options for affiliate manager so you see
439
00:21:30,220 --> 00:21:30,710
all of these.
440
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,090
4 affiliate manager, that's you are the
441
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:35,610
affiliate manager.
So all of these emails will be sent to
442
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:38,210
you unless you opt out of them.
443
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:40,090
So again, that's up to you.
444
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,110
And then here, new referral email options
for affiliates.
445
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:45,570
So these are the ones that will be sent
out to other people.
446
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:48,490
You're going to want to configure these
because your Affiliates going to want to
447
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:49,840
know if they've made a sale.
448
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:50,900
They're going to want to know if they've
449
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:52,320
been accepted to the program.
450
00:21:52,460 --> 00:21:54,640
And so here's where you'll do that.
451
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,450
So here we go.
452
00:21:58,430 --> 00:22:00,670
Right here, new referral email subject
453
00:22:00,730 --> 00:22:02,970
OK, so this is what the email will say
now.
454
00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:06,490
This one 's going to show when they've
got a new referral.
455
00:22:06,570 --> 00:22:09,910
Here's another one that shows that their
applications been accepted.
456
00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:13,800
And then so those are the basic emails
that you're going to need to configure.
457
00:22:14,010 --> 00:22:18,080
They already have some base text here,
but if you want to personalize it at all,
458
00:22:18,090 --> 00:22:19,870
these emails can be personalized.
459
00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:23,160
Next up, we have the Misk section,
460
00:22:23,390 --> 00:22:25,420
everything that doesn't fit anywhere
else.
461
00:22:25,730 --> 00:22:27,950
So allow affiliates to register.
462
00:22:27,970 --> 00:22:28,880
Accounts themselves.
463
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:31,130
I don't want that for my affiliate
program.
464
00:22:31,140 --> 00:22:32,900
If you want that for yours, great.
465
00:22:33,420 --> 00:22:36,100
Require approval. Yes I do want that.
466
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:40,090
Auto register new users, no logout link.
467
00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:45,010
Yes default referral URL so I can choose.
468
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:49,030
Do I want there to be one URL across the
board or do I want to let them have their
469
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,730
own URL?
Again, up to you.
470
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,940
I can enable recaptcha just to prevent
bots and other things like that.
471
00:22:56,910 --> 00:22:57,590
That's up to you.
472
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,800
I don't do that.
473
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,500
I'm reject unpaid referrals on refund.
474
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:03,470
Again, up to you.
475
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,850
There's a lot of really good settings
here.
476
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:08,500
I don't really do any of these.
477
00:23:08,740 --> 00:23:11,210
But again, depending on your concern with
478
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:15,050
security and with all these different
things, not to say I'm not concerned with
479
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,820
security, but I think some of these are
just not necessary generally.
480
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,390
All right, that's all of your missed
here.
481
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,430
And then payout services, this is where
you'll connect your PayPal, your other
482
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,450
sort of things.
483
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:29,240
And then you can connect to affiliate WP
484
00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:34,460
Payout services and then basically once
you're all your payments are connected
485
00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:36,610
here, you're going to be ready to go.
486
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:39,980
There are additional add-ons that you can
487
00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:44,050
put into affiliate WP to make it more
full function.
488
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:49,780
You can do rest API extended either ZAP
here there's more landing page options,
489
00:23:49,790 --> 00:23:54,070
Direct link tracking, custom slugs, ninja
forms.
490
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,950
Here's that ninja form one that I was
talking about.
491
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,850
You're going to want that.
492
00:23:56,860 --> 00:23:57,650
Went on.
493
00:23:57,660 --> 00:23:58,650
There's just so many.
494
00:23:58,660 --> 00:24:01,090
You're gonna want this PayPal payouts
495
00:24:01,410 --> 00:24:04,800
anyway. There are tons of add-ons, so depending
496
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:06,420
on what you need you can add those on.
497
00:24:06,430 --> 00:24:08,570
I do believe there are additional costs
498
00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:11,120
and this one is just the very base
version.
499
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:15,230
I didn't pay for the highest version on
this tutorial, but you can and then
500
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,400
you'll have all of these for free.
501
00:24:16,410 --> 00:24:18,740
So anyway, that's a complete walkthrough
502
00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:20,650
through affiliate WP.
503
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:23,620
Affiliate WP is a great opportunity for
504
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:27,860
you to make more money in your business
and you don't have to worry about the
505
00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:30,260
traffic. All you have to do is make connections
506
00:24:30,270 --> 00:24:33,790
with people and then have them help you
grow your business.
507
00:24:34,150 --> 00:24:35,380
I hope this has been really helpful.
508
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:37,130
If it has, give me a like and subscribe.
509
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:41,250
Give me any comments if I missed, missed
or messed up on anything.
510
00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:44,150
Some of you are very good at keeping me
in line.
511
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,100
I appreciate that.
512
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:46,460
All right, guys, thanks for joining me on
513
00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:48,300
this video and we will see you guys next
time.
