Great post!! I run a personal finance blog myself, and I have been looking for ways to monetize it. I think I am gonna try either shareholic or social warfare. Again thanks for sharing this article.

The last time I used WooCommerce, there actually wasn’t the ability to use external links/sell affiliate products (which was a huge shortfall) — I think in recent updates you can now use external URLs which is really nice/keeps pace with other platforms (like Shopify). We don’t often promote actual physical products so using WooCommerce isn’t as functional for us anymore but it could still be useful if you sell physical products yourself and would like to mix in affiliate products, too.

Hi Ben,
Nice post. I use almost all the plugins you have mentioned. I used Woocommerce to create store for Affiliate marketing. Do you have any method or idea to use woocommerce for affiliate marketing? Thank you.

Yikes, that’s definitely not a good look. We don’t use them anymore (mostly because of speed issues more than anything), but if it turns out their non-paying to affiliates we’ll definitely be removing them. Thanks for the heads up Kristina – hope you get your issues resolved. 🙁

I DO NOT recommend Shareaholic for bloggers. They owe me (and at least 2 other bloggers I am aware of) money for ad services- we are going on 7 months now. I have submitted countless support tickets, tweets, emails, etc. and have gotten only 1 response, promising me a payment that did not happen. Bloggers be ware!!! There are better ways to monetize your blog and get paid on a monthly schedule.
