Getting sites up quickly for EPN and Amazon
December 3, 2009
In order to crank up the earnings for your affiliate sites, you have to be able to put sites up quickly and get them automated. The best automation tool around is auction2post. This tool allows you to choose by keyword, category, amount of bids, seller id, and everything else that is available via the eBay API. The good thing is, all of the hard work is done. You don’t need to have any technical skills to use this tool. Simply follow along with the instructions and you will be up and running in no time.
You also have to be able to put your WordPress affiliate sites together quickly. I have created a checklist that assists me with everything. From applying the askimet id to enabling auction2post automation. Everything to get me up and running is listed in a text file that I use. Why did I do this? Because it simplifies the process. I don’t have to think about what I’m doing to get the new site up and live. I can typically have the site up and running within an hour with all the plugins I want installed and activated.
I highly recommend that you do this too. The first couple of epn affiliate blogs you put out should be the rough drafts of your final copies. You’ll remember by time you get to the third one that you forgot a step. Refine your list until you have everything to a gold image. That gold image should include everything so you don’t have to go back and maintain the site once it’s live.
Stop reading and get started. The money is there, it’s up to you to make it.

Hey man! I thought I would follow along with you since you have been following my site.
I do something similiar but it never made it into type. It is all in my head. I really need to get it into a checklist too.
It takes me a little under an hour also. I wish I could get it down to like 15 minutes. I played around with setting up a template site and tried to backup the database. Then I thought maybe i could load up a new site and restore the backup. It never really panned out for me. Instead I do a fresh install each time and manually activate the theme and plugins.
I take it this is what you are doing also?
I had my own sites outside of WordPress that I could get up in 15 minutes but they just didn’t get the Google SEO love that WordPress gets.
If you have any more ideas on how to speed up the process let me hear them.
Keep up the good posts man and good luck with the 1k goal!
Yes, I also setup everything new. I’m about to try and preload everything into a zip file format and then run a shell script to do everything.
I’ll keep you posted on if this works or not. I’m sure I’ll still have to activate everything but I won’t have to upload/download each of the plugins/themes every time.
Thanks for reading. It’s great to collaborate with you and learn from each other.
Yeah keep me posted. Anything that speeds up the process I am all about!
I agree about collaborating. Sometimes it is nice to talk to someone that understands what I am talking about!
If I even mention any of this to my wife she is guaranteed to be asleep in 5 minutes. It is so bad that she asks me to talk about it when she is having a hard time falling asleep! LOL Well thats not too far from the truth…
