To build an affiliate website using WordPress, you’ll also need quality hosting with fast page load speeds to rank high in the search engines. Below you’ll see my top recommendation for an all-in-one suite, that has a free option as well as a premium package.
The ultimate goal is to grow your site over time and become an authority site in a particular niche that you’re well-versed in. You’ll need a website platform that will be able to perform well as your popularity increases. Consider your affiliate website as a big net that will eventually be pulling in a ton of visitors (traffic from the search engines).
WordPress.org is the number one platform used by affiliate marketers specifically because of how good it’s search engine optimization (SEO) is. It’s from this site you’ll be promoting/recommending relevant services and/or products to generate high commissions, which will eventually become your recurring monthly revenue stream.
Affiliate marketers call this passive income. You’ll set-up your site and create content upfront, then you’ll be able to do less and less work as your traffic increases. I have even stopped working on sites for several months and I still get commissions from the traffic the site generates on a daily basis. This site can then be sold for big bucks down the line. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First we need to tackle…
Build Your Own Affiliate Website
Below I’ll be showing you the easiest to use, yet advanced affiliate website builder in the industry.
In this video, see just how simple it is to create an affiliate site in under a minute with Wealthy Affiliate’s proprietary SiteRubix platform, which is seamlessly integrated with WordPress.org dashboard.”
WordPress goes hand in hand with affiliate marketing and is the most used site builder platform in the industry. Million dollar affiliate marketing businesses are built on WordPress + SiteRubix + SSL.
So, you’re ready to build your own money making site/blog? Awesome! You can create 2 free sites by clicking above.
When you sign-up you for free, here’s what you’ll get:

- 50 affiliate websites total
- If you have your own domain name or plan on purchasing one (you can buy at WA, they are an official domain registrar as well) then you’ll need to purchase the premium package.
My #1 recommended package is their premium option…
1st month $19, then $49 per month after.

Build an Affiliate Website
In fact, you can have a free website of any kind up and running in under a minute! If you don’t believe me keep reading and I will prove it to you before you’re done with this article.
Nowadays there are services and web based platforms that take all of the technical aspects out of the website creation process. Making professional looking websites/blogs are completely “fool proof”. I was there once too and I remember doubting myself, thinking there’s no way I can create a website. Well stop psyching yourself out right now. You’ll see just how simple it is down below.
First: What are the top Website “Must- Haves”?
Your presence online is determined by first having a place to host your ‘web property’ (website or blog). By hosting we mean a company that stores your website files and most likely will also be where you purchase your website name (domain name). However there’s a better way, where you can get free hosting as well as two free websites, you don’t even need to purchase a domain name. Although later you may want to.
Anyway, you want your website to offer the best possible user experience for your viewers when they come to visit your site, so you must consider the following when deciding on a company to go with.
1. The amount of time it takes your site to load
2. It must look pleasing to the eye
3. It should be easy to navigate around
4. And the most important of all, you must add quality content to rank in the search engines
I’m telling you right now, if you can complete these four aspects then you will clearly be on your way to running a successful business, and by business, yes I mean profitable website. However, in order for this to be simple and seamless you need to use the right system from the beginning. I always recommend using WordPress because it is the most robust and stable platform. Not to mention Google loves them because they are very SEO friendly. There are over a thousand free templates to choose from too.
Well it’s time to check them out! As promised, you can create your very own Free WordPress site this instant…just enter a domain name in the box below.
Okay, now let’s get back to the other goodies that I mentioned before…
How Important Is Using WordPress
You may have heard of WordPress or seen the little ‘W’ logo on other websites before. Well, currently it is the most popular website framework in the world and has the most users. By the way, this very website was created on WordPress.
On my ‘About Me‘ page I reminisce of the old days when I took classes at my local junior college for hours upon hours trying to figure out how to html code websites manually. I still cannot believe how easy things have become. Seriously, anyone can create a website now with just a click of a button practically. Thanks to technology and WordPress, the world is a better place and now everyone can share and build and ultimately even create a new revenue stream!
The best things about using WordPress are: Google loves WordPress sites…
– There is all the support and help within the community that one could ever need
– You don’t have to know coding or HTML, or have any prior experience
– Unbelievably easy to set-up (install your site with one button click below)
– More than 1,400 FREE designer website templates to pick out of
– Added website features and functionality with over 10,000 FREE plugins (add-ons)
It is plain to see that everyone who is serious about getting a solid start online uses WordPress exclusively and for the record, I have been using it with all of my websites for the past 5 or so years.

I have done a full review here: WA Review
Hi,
Very informative article post on building a free website, you make it sound extremely easy to build a free website with little or no experience. I have been scammed in the past with similar programs, how can I be sure you are recommending a program which is legitimate? Actually i have a aim to earn handsome income via niche affiliate marketing that’s why i am searching some informative sites only for this purpose just like yours and this one also revglue. Few days before my colleague recommend me this site its a UK base register affiliate site which is providing everything on a single platform and i am also thinking to use it . What you say ? If you have any idea or experience about this site please share with me this will help me a lot thanks. I’m waiting your reply.
Hi Julie, apologies for that late reply. I understand your concern and trust me I was skeptical at first too. Which is why I went on a research expedition, sort of like you are now 🙂 I have not tried revglue, so I’m not free to comment there. But what I will tell you is that Wealthy Affiliate has hundreds of thousands of members from all over the world, most are from the UK. Best of all it’s completely free to try out and you’re able to actually build 2 free WordPress affiliate sites with their SiteRubix platform, with free domain and hosting. Nobody else offers this I will assure you.
So, this way you’ll learn not only affiliate marketing but the WordPress platform along with free keyword research tools, all of which you will need for affiliate marketing regardless if you end up staying with them or not. What I advise when learning affiliate marketing is to have a active, supportive community with experienced members and people willing to coach you free of charge (as I am offering affiliate coaching here).
