Start Blogging at Affiliatemanagement.net

3wdl · 16-01-07

After a little rant in my previous post, I hinted to setting up some free blogs on an affiliate URL that I didn’t use. Since then I have discovered Wordpress Mu & installed it on AffiliateManagement.net. There are no ads, it’s completely free & easy to get started. There are a number of installed themes and I’ll be adding a few widgets and plugins to get people started shortly.

Hopefully it will encourage a few more affiliate managers or merchants to start blogging and discover another excellent form of communication and relationship building.

A quick update.

There are now 50 different themes installed along with Widget support. I'll be putting a few plugins in there over the next few days.

Good to see Brian (http://affiliatemanagement.net/scifind/) and Gavin (http://affiliatemanagement.net/gavinio/) sign up so far. I'll aim to get the frontpage a bit more user friendly over the next couple of days.

As a reminder - it's a free blogging service for the affiliate community with no ads whatsoever.

Added Firestats too, a nice stats software for Wordpress.

I think this is a really good idea, nice one - once we have pulled our finger out on a few things happening here, we'll definitely consider involvement, as they say, communication is king!

Alright - mine's there.

I'll make the effort to keep it updated. I promise. Feel free to email me with anything you'd like me to cover. Aside from ABBA.

A little update. I've created a new blog titled "Updates" at: http://affiliatemanagement.net/updates

Here's the overview since I put the site live.

Quote:

First off all a small apology. Anyone that tried to sign up recently would have had problems as I put a CATCHA on the site and didn’t test it – evidently it didn’t work very well & has been remove for the time being.

Since the launch of AffiliateManagement.net there have been a few updates that are of note.

* There are now around 50 Themes installed and available once you have signed up. If there is another wordpress theme you have seen and would like to use please let me know and I will attempt to add this in
* Themes are now customisable. Under the Presentation Tag you will see something called Jason’s Customicer which allows you to edit the colors and images that the theme uses.
* Sidebar Widgets Plugin has been installed
* Firestats plugin has been installed – just activate it via the Plugins section and you will be able to see the stats of your blog

If you require any other features please do let me know.

Hopefully now the sign up form is fixed we'll see a few more people blogging.

Nice one James, think that's a great idea. As you will know from the Private Forum I was toying with the idea of setting one up myself, have sorted a domain and got the software on last week, just need to get an article or 2 on it before I start broadcasting the URL.

If you find it, don’t link to is yet, give me a chance to actually write something LOL

Some of us don't have access to the private forums

Although if your posting there then maybe I should bump that up in the priority list!

this looks like a good idea...

Tell me, will it always be ad free? Be good if it is....

Will probably end up signing up to this, and try to give something back.

Well done.

I certainly have no plans to monetise the site - it's purely a way to get more people in the industry starting up blogs, especially Merchants and Affiliate Managers.

I guess the only way that ads would be put on is if I allowed blog users to put up their own ads and installed a plugin for this - but that will be up to the user and it will be their own revenue that they are generating.
