The first thing that you need to do if you are working to create an affiliate marketing site with WordPress is to find a clean and simple theme. It can be hard to stick with the basics when there are so many cool themes out there filled with all the bells and whistles, but unfortunately, for a sales site - lots of gadgets do not equal lots of sales.

You don't make money from things being cool. Your goal is to find a simple theme that doesn't have a lot of distractions built into it. The focus of your entire site should be the product that you are selling. The site should not provide distractions.

WordPress has even devised a theme specific to this purpose. It is aptly named the Affiliate Theme. This is simple to construct and operate, which makes it perfect if you aren't the most experienced in web design or computer applications. But it works. So even if you could build something much more complex on your own, this is worth using because it works.

The Affiliate theme is incredible because it includes six layouts that you can interchange and work with. Test drive one of them to get a feel for how it works. You want to select the layout and theme that yields the biggest payout for your product. After all, as an affiliate marketer that's really what it's all about.

A popular affiliate marketing theme is called the Flexibility Theme. It has been shown to be quite efficacious. As advertised in its title, the Flexibility Theme can be customized, allowing you to change every aspect within the blog's layout, giving you lots of space to include product ads at the very top of each page.

The Affiliate and the Flexibility themes are two of the better WordPress themes available for you to use in your affiliate marketing endeavors. You may want to poke around some other people's sites to see some themes in action. Above all, create synergy between your theme and your product. Otherwise, your entire site will seem disconnected. These tips should help you to get a solid start on your next WordPress project.
