How to make an AFFILIATE PRICE COMPARISON website with WordPress, Content Egg and RE:HUB. Tutorial! #Best Education Page #Online Earning

How to make an AFFILIATE PRICE COMPARISON website with WordPress, Content Egg and RE:HUB. Tutorial!


 In this video, I'm gonna show you how you can create
your very own affiliate marketing price comparison site.
The site we're gonna be building looks like this.
As you can see, it looks really professional.
I built it all around trainers
or sneakers as you say in America,
but you can build it around whichever products you like.
The great thing about the theme
and the plugin that we're gonna be using
with WordPress today is that it's very easy
to add your affiliate links.
So, when a visitor comes to your site
and they compare prices on a product,
when they click on the Buy Now button
and go through to the retailer to make their purchase,
you'll earn a commission.
Don't worry if you've never built a website before,
I'm gonna take you through it step by step.
You're gonna be able to look over my shoulder.
I'm gonna hold your hand,
walk you through everything that you need to do
from setting up your hosting and installing WordPress
through to signing up with merchants
and getting your affiliate links.
So, you can do it, I'm sure you can,
I'm gonna help you, let's go.
(gentle melody)
Hello, it's Alex here from WP Eagle.
Thanks for watching and I hope you're all well.
So, for those of you that are regulars on my channel,
you'll know that I've been talking about
this video for quite some time.
I finally got it finished and got it uploaded.
I hope you enjoy it.
For those of you that are new to the channel,
hello, it's good to see you.
If you're not already subscribed, click the button below,
then you'll know when I upload new videos
which tends to be once a week.
So, I'm gonna hold your hand today
and take you through creating this website.
It is quite a long video,
so you're gonna need a bit of time.
I've put all the chapters and timings
in the description below,
so if you need to kind of jump forward
or jump backwards to certain parts in the tutorial,
you'll find them all in the description.
Now, before we get started,
I just wanna take you through a few of the costs involved.
Now, I've tried to keep these costs to a minimum,
but you are gonna have to invest a little bit of money
as all good projects kinda need it.
They always need a little investment
and let me just take you through
what those costs are right now.
The first thing you're gonna need is your website hosting
which is basically how you put your website online.
Hire a little bit of a server
and you can put your website there
and they'll keep it online for you.
I've got a great deal on hosting today
and I've been able to get you a great price.
The hosting I've gone with is with HostGator
who I use a lot for all of my websites
and on annual package with them,
so that's a full 12 months of web hosting,
the cost is gonna be just $65.
If you can't afford that,
then there are some monthly options as well,
but I would always recommend that you go for an annual one
because it's better value
and a website can take a little bit of time
just to get set up and get working.
The next thing you need is the premium theme.
Basically, we instal that into WordPress,
it gives us the look and feel of the site
and gives us all the kind of price comparison features
that we need.
The cost for the theme is just $59.
By the way, I've got them written down here,
that's why I'm looking down.
So, yeah, just $59
and you get the access to the premium theme,
you get access to support from the developers,
and you get free updates,
and then the final thing we're going to need is our plug-in
and the plug-in allows us to quickly import our of products
and sets up for our affiliate links
and updates the price for us as well automatically
and the cost for this great plugin is just $48.
So, I put all the prices up there for you,
the total comes to, off top of my head $172
which might sound a lot,
but it really is a small investment
for a site of this quality and with this functionality,
so hopefully you've got a little bit of money
to invest today and you can get this project started.
So, in this video,
we're going to just be setting up the website
and also setting up Google Analytics,
so that we can track our traffic.
Going forward, I will be uploading videos
on how to get some more traffic
and how to do SEO and social media
and all that kind of stuff.
So, I said be sure to make sure that you subscribed,
so you don't miss out on those videos.
I have got some videos that I've done in the past
around those subjects as well,
so if you can't wait, you'll find videos on traffic and SEO
and making money and all that kind of stuff on the channel,
so be sure to check them out.
Now, I am here for you, so if you get stuck at any point
or you have a question or something like that,
then do leave it in the comments below
and I'll do my best to reply to you and help you out,
but I think that's everything covered.
I think you know everything you need to know
in terms of what you need to get started,
so let's jump on the computer
and let's get this website set up.
So, the first thing we need to do is set up our web hosting.
Web hosting is basically where your website
lives on the Internet,
so it's very important,
you can't have a website without hosting.
The hosting company
that I'm recommending today is HostGator.
I recommend them for a number of reasons.
The first is that they are very reasonably priced,
some of the cheapest hosting available online,
but just because they're cheap doesn't mean
that they deliver any poor service.
In fact, the service you get from them is very good.
I run a number of my affiliate marketing sites on HostGator
and I've never had a problem.
Other reasons why I like HostGator
is because they offer some really good support.
They've got 24/7/365 support
and you can get in touch with them via live chat,
so you don't have to pick up the phone and ring anyone,
you can just log in, start chatting online,
and they're generally really quick
in terms of sorting out your problem.
Another reason why I like them
is they've got lots of built-in features,
so you can instal WordPress for example
which is what we're going to be doing
after we've set up our hosting,
and they got some other features as well
which are quite nice.
Other thing is they guarantee
is that you can have your money back after 45 days
or up to 45 days I should say
if you're not completely happy with your hosting,
just get in touch and they'll give you your money back.
Cancel the hosting and then you can move on,
try something else.
So, yeah, it's really kind of a no-risk set up here.
Another thing they promise is a 99.9% uptime
which is pretty standard actually across most hosting,
so basically means that your website's going to be online
for the majority of the time which is good
'cause obviously a website that's down
can't make you any money and can't serve any pages
and all that kind of stuff,
so it's good that they offer a 99.9% uptime
In fact, they're award-winning which is good.
So, yeah, that's HostGator.
I've got a discount voucher
which I'm going to share with you
as we go through the checkout and order our hosting today
which will give you a nice discount off your plan,
so yeah I'll be sharing that with you in a few moments.
Just before we go any further,
I will put a link up to HostGator in a card on this video,
you may have already seen it.
I'll put a link in the description, too.
If you use any of my links or my discount codes,
they are affiliate, so yeah thank you very much.
If you do use them it means that I'll get a small commission
and yeah, all I can say is thank you.
Also, if you don't want to use them,
then that's entirely up to you,
but yeah it's a nice way of just kind of
showing your appreciation to me
for making these videos if you want to
and of course, with the code you get a nice discount,
so why wouldn't you?
Anyway, let's get started.
What we're gonna do is go for web hosting.
You'll see that there is WordPress hosting,
but we don't actually need that, web hosting is just fine
and we can instal WordPress onto a standard web hosting.
Now, you're gonna want to choose
probably between the hatchling plan or the baby plan,
depending on how many domains you're thinking of setting up.
So, how many web sites you're gonna have going forward
that you're gonna want to instal.
So, if this is your first one
and you think you're just going to do one for now,
then go for the hatchling plan.
If you've got bigger ambitions
and you think you're gonna be
quickly banging out more websites,
then maybe the baby plan is for you.
You can obviously upgrade between plans
at any time should you need to,
so don't worry too much about choosing the right one now
because you can change going forward,
so let's go for the hatchling plan, click Sign Up Now,
and the first box that we've got is around our domain.
So, the domain name is dot come or dot co dot UK, dot net,
you know what domain name is, it's whatever dot whatever.
So, in here you can enter a domain name
if you want to register a new one.
So, basically just start typing in here
and whatever you're gonna go for
and what will happen is once you select
the end that you want.
HostGator will go off and let you know
if it's available or not.
If it's not available,
then you'll have to try something else
or choose a different extension a bit after the dot,
so you know .club, .club, .club, that kind of thing.
If you've already got any domain name,
so say you registered a domain name over at GoDaddy
or NameCheap or NameStore, someone like that,
you would then click on this tab
and just type in your domain name.
So, I've already got a domain name,
it's registered over at GoDaddy
and it's called trainersaver.co.uk.
And that's all added, it's fine,
and it's then offering me some other domain names
which I'm not gonna take today.
So, now we get to choose our package type.
In fact, we've already chosen it,
we chose the package on the first page and it's hatchling.
If we need to change it, we can do now.
We then get to choose our billing cycle.
Now, let me emphasise that the longer you go for,
the better price you're gonna get.
In fact, if you have 12 months,
it's half the price over six months, three months, one month
and also keep in mind that a website
takes a little while for it to kind of get some momentum
and get some traffic and start earning you some money,
you know realistically six months probably,
so I think make a commitment today,
go for at least a 12 month plan.
I said I've got a discount code
which you're gonna get some more money off this anyway
and then you'll get an incredible saving.
If you really can't commit and money is really tight,
then you could go for just a one month
and then it just be a rolling kind of deal
and yeah, it goes from there,
you can cancel whenever you like.
If you do choose the one month plan,
my discount code today will give you
that first month for just a penny,
so you know really good price,
then going forward you pay the the regular 10.95,
but today I'm gonna go for the 12 months
because I say I think that's the best value
and you know show some commitment
and I mean you'll keep working on your website
and make sure that it does succeed.
If you go for one month,
then you might not renew and just give up.
So, if you possibly can afford it today,
go for the 12 months or even longer.
I mean, if you can go for 36 months,
then you get a fantastic saving, 43%.
The next box is your username,
so this what you're gonna be logging in with.
I'm not gonna fill in this form right now,
I'll do it in a second when I'm not recording
'cause it's a bit boring watching me type
and fill in all these fields.
Next box is your security pin,
so, you're gonna need that
if you want to get in touch with Hostgator.
If you've got a problem,
they may ask you for that security pin.
The next is the standard kind of billing info,
your email and your name and address
and all that information.
Over here is your payment information,
so you can pay by credit card or PayPal.
Section four is all around additional services,
we don't need any of these additional services,
so you can untick them.
We can do backups
and protect ourselves from hackers using plugins
and I've got videos actually on those things on my channel,
so you don't need to pay for those particular services,
you can do them yourself for free.
The next is the coupon code.
Now, it may have already populated one in this box for you
like this one FREEUPGRADE3.
My code should give you a better discount
and the code that I've got is Eagle30.
So, if we put that in, we can see at the moment
my discount is 36.
Now, let's see what happens if I use my code,
it's gone up to 42
and yeah, everything else is still as it should be,
so yeah if you use my code, you will get a bigger discount
and as I said if you go for the one month,
let me just show you the one month, then we scroll down,
you'll see that you get the first month for just a penny
and then going forward, it will be the standard 10.95,
but I'm gonna switch back to the 12 months
and there we go, we've got a discount.
Yeah and thank you so much if you use my code.
As I said, it is an affiliate code,
I will earn a small commission if you use it,
but hey you get a good discount, so why not?
Once you finished, click the I have read
and agree to the terms usual stuff
and then you can click Checkout Now.
One thing just to check before you go,
it hasn't done it to me today,
but sometimes these kind of will tick themselves again,
maybe when you put the code in or get down here,
so just double check that you've got no extras on here,
it's a little bit sneaky,
but it looks like maybe they don't do that anymore
because it hasn't done it for me, so you should be okay.
Anyway, let's click Checkout Now, but obviously I can't
'cause I need to fill in the form,
so I will fill in the form now, I'll get my hosting set up
and yeah, then we'll carry on setting up our website.
So, my order has completed, it didn't take very long,
I filled in that form,
I went for a 12 month plan on the basic hatchling,
filled in all my payment information
and all that kind of stuff
and yeah, the order's gone through.
I've got this screen here,
hopefully you've got something similar, too.
I've also just received an email.
Now, this email is very important,
contains all the information I need
to access my new hosting service.
Hopefully, you should have received an emai
with all your details to keep it safe,
you are gonna need the information within this email
in order to get set up, get your website up and running,
so keep it safe, but the first thing I'm gonna do
is I'm going to repoint my domain name.
Now, this bit only applies to people
that had previously registered a domain name.
So, when you were filling in the order form
there on HostGator,
you selected I already own a domain name
and typed in your domain name,
this section is for you guys
because we're going to update our name servers,
so that they're pointing at HostGator.
If you just registered a domain name with HostGator,
you can skip this bit
and what I'll do is I'll put a little time on the screen now
and if you skip forward the video to that time,
you'll be ready to carry on.
So, this section as I say it's just people
that had a previously registered domain,
maybe you've got a domain name over at GoDaddy
or NameStore or Namecheap, something like that,
and I'm just going to show you
how to update the name servers, so let's do that right now.
My domain is over at GoDaddy
and the two pieces of information we need
for our domain registrar is these two name servers,
so I'll just keep this here in this tab.
We're going to open a new tab, head over to GoDaddy.
Now, if you're with someone else who's not GoDaddy,
don't worry the principle is pretty much the same,
you're gonna want to log into your main control panel
and you're gonna want to look for your name server settings
or domain name service settings or DNS settings,
then within there, you should be able
to update your name servers.
So, we have GoDaddy.
I'm just gonna go into my domains, I'm already logged in.
It's gonna ask me for a password again, that's fine.
So, here's my domains, I've got quite a few actually,
so let me just do a search for trainer.
I got trainersaver.co.uk and trainersaver.com,
the site is gonna be a UK-focused site,
so I'm gonna set trainersaver.co.uk as my main domain name,
so that's the one I'm gonna update the name servers on.
Any other domain names, I'm gonna redirect them.
For instance, trainersaver.com is gonna be redirected
to trainersaver.co.uk
and again, you do those redirects
on your domain control panel,
so within GoDaddy or whoever you're registered with.
I've already got it all set up.
You basically pick the primary domain name
that you're gonna be using
and if you only got one, it'll be that one.
So, I'm gonna click on these three little dots
and I'm gonna go to manage DNS.
And the scroll down
and we got this name server section here.
I'm gonna click Change, I'm gonna select Custom,
and then I can enter my name servers
which were in that email that I got from HostGator.
So, the first one is this one.
Copy and paste.
Make sure there's no spaces or anything like that,
there isn't
and then the second one is this one.
And then save.
So, that's all done.
That could take a few moments.
Could just be a couple of minutes,
could be a few hours, could even be a whole day.
Generally, it doesn't take that long
and you'll know that you're up and running
and that it's all working fine
when you head over to your domain name,
so if I open another tab, I just go to trainersaver.co.uk.
Okay, it says this website is temporarily unavailable,
so that's not working just yet,
so it's gonna take a few moments.
What I'm looking for is the HostGator page to come up,
then I know that it's working and the DNS is updated,
so I'm just gonna give it a few moments.
I'll do an edit now in the video
and as soon as the domain has repointed itself,
we'll carry on and we'll instal WordPress.
Okay, that's look a few moments,
but I've just refreshed again
and now I'm seeing this HostGator page,
so that means that the DNS
and all that stuff is working correctly
and the domain is pointing at my new HostGator hosting.
If you've just registered a new domain name with HostGator
when you set up your hosting,
then you might need to wait a few hours
for the registration, everything to go through
before you see this page.
So, if you're not seeing it, don't panic,
just give it a bit more time
and it will appear soon.
Once you do see it, then you are ready to get started
as I am now.
So, now we're ready to move on to the next step
which is to instal WordPress.
So, to do that I'm going to go back to my email
that I got from HostGator
and I'm gonna go to the control panel,
so that's this link here, give that a click,
now it's going to ask me for a username and password
and get that from the email.
So, the username is as you'll notice
actually the one I set up
obviously when I created the account
and then hit the password,
copy that and then paste.
So, that's just logging in now.
The browsers asking me if I want to save the password,
can do that.
I don't want constant contact,
so I'm gonna close that banner
and here we are, this is our HostGator control panel.
Now, don't worry, it does look a little bit complicated,
maybe a little bit overwhelming, but it's fine.
We're just gonna be setting up WordPress in here.
If in the future you want to set up an email address,
that kind of thing, you'll find that all in here, too.
It's pretty straightforward
and just look around, look for the right button
and you should be fine.
Of course, if you get stuck,
then HostGator are available to help you out.
Okay, so let's instal WordPress
and we're gonna click on this W over here,
Build a New WordPress Site,
let's give that a click.
Okay, and then we're ready to instal WordPress.
So, it's asking us to select a domain for installation.
I only got the one, trainersaver.
Leave the directory blank and then click next.
Now, it's time to give the website a name.
Don't worry, we can change all this stuff later.
I'm gonna call it TrainerSaver.
Here, we're gonna set up an admin username,
so this is the username
that you're gonna log into WordPress with,
don't confuse it with any of your HostGator passwords
and that kind of stuff,
this is just to log into WordPress.
So, let's go for wpeagle.
First name WP, last name Eagle.
And then let's enter an email address.
It needs to be a valid address
because the site will email you stuff to this address.
You wanna make sure
automatically create a new database is ticked,
then you need to click the Terms of Service Agreement
and then click Instal.
It's gonna take a few moments.
Okay, that's complete.
So, here are our WordPress details.
You're gonna need to remember this username and password.
Make note of it, whatever.
I'm just gonna copy the password to my clipboard
and then I'm gonna click Login.
And here we go.
So, this is where we log into WordPress.
Generally, it's your domain name, dot com, whatever,
slash wp hyphen admin.
It looks a bit like this, let me show you.
So, wp hyphen admin.
Let's see we've got trainersaver.co.uk/wp-admin,
so anytime you need to access your WordPress backend,
that's where you go.
Just like that.
Let's put in the username
which is the one I just created
and then the password which is already in my clipboard.
I'm gonna tick Remember Me,
so I don't have to log in all the time.
And then click Log in.
We can save the password if we need to,
that's into my browser.
So, here we are, we're logged into WordPress.
The first thing it's gonna ask
is what kind of site are we setting up,
just click I don't need help
'cause we know what we're doing,
we're gonna do it all ourselves.
Okay, so here we are, we're in WordPress.
We can go and take a look at the front of the website.
When you go to visit your site,
you might need to do a refresh.
And here it is, just a standard WordPress instal
and we're gonna hopefully change all this
to turn it into an affiliate marketing
price comparison site.
Now, the first thing you might wanna do
is change that password to something that you can remember.
So, to do that, I'm gonna up to top here.
So, when you're logged into WordPress,
you get this bar across the top.
So, even when you're looking at the front of the website,
you can still do stuff.
Logged out users won't see this,
but as we're logged in, we do.
And if we go to the top, I can go to Edit My Profile
and it's in here that I can set a new password.
So, I'm just gonna scroll down, go to New Password.
You can generate another complicated one
or you can type in one that you might remember.
Like that.
It thinks that's weak, but fair enough.
I'm gonna click confirm use of weak password.
Click Update Profile.
And there we go, my passwords updated
to something that I can remember.
Now, before you get started,
I think we need to tidy up a little bit
'cause there's all these messages that have kind of appeared
and they're just gonna get in the way.
So, the first one is, well, actually,
the first one is up here which is to do some updates,
so let's do that now, I'm gonna click please update.
And we got some plugins that it wants to update
and we got WordPress, so let's do the plugins first.
I'm going to just tick the box there, click Update Plugins.
That's all done.
As you can see WordPress takes care
of all your updates for you, it's fairly straightforward.
You generally just have to click a button
and it does all the downloading
and installing on your behalf.
Let's return back to the WordPress updates page,
then just click here to update WordPress.
So, we're now ready to go and get the premium theme
which gives us the look and feel of the site
and is designed for price comparison site,
so it does all the work for us,
and we also need to go and get the plugin.
A premium plugin that will allow us
to put in all our affiliate products
from all our different merchants
and all that kind of stuff,
so that's what we're gonna do next.
So, the first thing is to go and get the theme.
Okay, so I'm over at Envato Market
which is where we're gonna be buying our premium theme
and our premium plugin.
The theme you're gonna be using
is this one here, it's called REHub,
and it's designed specifically for affiliates
and for creating things like price comparison sites
which is what we're gonna be doing today,
and you can do some other stuff with it, too.
It's got loads of features.
It comes with loads of demo content
which is what we're gonna be using,
so we can create the site,
so it looks exactly the demos.
I'll just show you what they look like.
Then all we need to do is just change the content
and the colours and add our logo and make it our own,
so that's why I love this theme
and yeah, it's easy to use, full of features,
and just exactly what we need.
It is a premium theme and the cost for the theme is $59.
I'll put a link up on the screen now
and I'll put a link in the description of this video, too.
The link is an affiliate link,
so if you use it, thank you very much.
I will earn a small commission.
I do only recommend products that I use myself,
so yeah, the affiliate commission
is just a nice little bonus.
Now, we're also gonna be buying
the plugin from Envato Market.
We're gonna be buying that from CodeCanyon
which is part of the Envato Market.
So, if you're creating an account today
and you're gonna be depositing some funds,
I recommend that you deposit enough
to cover both the cost of this theme and the plugin, too,
and the total will come to about 107.
Well, in fact, exactly 107,
so make sure you deposit at least $107,
so that you can cover the cost of the plugin as well
which we'll be getting onto in a few moments.
Not only do you get the theme for your money,
you also get future updates.
So, when new versions are released with new features
and that kinda stuff, you get access to them,
and you also get six month support from the theme developer,
so if you get stuck with something and you need some help,
you can just drop them a line and they'll sort you out.
Now, I've already purchased the theme,
so I am able to download it.
So, to do that, I can just click on overview
and then download.
Let's save it somewhere where I can hopefully find it
on my ever so messy computer.
There we go.
And once I've downloaded it, I get a zip file.
It's called themeforest blah blah blah dot zip.
And what you need to do is extract that,
so I can do it just by double clicking on it.
And then within there, you'll find the folder REHubWP-theme
and then within there, there is a zip file
which is what we're gonna be uploading to our website,
so let's do that now.
So, back to the dashboard of the website
and then go to Appearance and Themes.
And then Add New.
And then Upload Theme.
We click Choose File and find the file on our computer.
Oh, it's such a mess.
There we go.
So, rehub.zip which I say is inside the folder
that you extracted.
So, that's just gonna upload, take a few moments.
So, that's installed, we can now click Activate.
And that will turn the theme on.
And there we go.
Okay, so the first thing you're gonna wanna do is register.
Now, I've already registered this.
I did it earlier when I was doing some tests,
for some reason it's remembering it
and I can't make it forget it.
So, what you need to do is enter your Envato username
and the licence key
and you can get the licence key if you go to the page
on themeforest, the REHub page, go to support,
and if you scroll down right down to the bottom,
it's there under purchase codes.
Just copy that string of letters and numbers.
Paste it in here, click Submit,
and then you'll be registered
and you'll be able to do what we're about to do next
which is instal the demo content.
So, let's do that now.
I'm not going to worry about these plugins for now,
it's saying that we need to instal some plugins,
that kind of stuff.
What we we're gonna do is do the demos,
so to do that, let's go to Demo Stacks.
Now, with this theme, the funny thing is with the demo stuff
is it kind of basically wipes everything on your site,
it creates a copy of the demo site,
so that means that we're gonna have to kind of
set up users again and that kind of stuff.
Don't worry, it'll be fine.
You'll also need to make a note of this login information
because as I say you're gonna have to recreate users
and the only way to log into your site is with this login.
So, it's rehubdemo and I'm just gonna make a copy of this
password into my clipboard.
We need to instal the WP Clone plugin to get this working,
so let's do that, let's go to Plugins and Add New.
Do a search, wp clone plugin.
And there it is, click Instal Now.
And then Activate.
Okay, so that's all activated,
so we don't need to go back and get the relevant link.
So, let's go back to Rehub and then Demo Stacks.
Now, remember you are gonna need to remember
these two bits of information,
the login is rehubdemo and the password is RehubPass999777.
So, let's just copy that to my clipboard, so got it to hand.
In case it's gone for whatever reason.
So, yeah, that's in the clipboard ready to go.
If we scroll down,
we've got all the different demo stacks here.
The one I'm gonna go for is the Rehub Main.
If you wanna have a quick look at it,
you can click on the preview,
but it's the demo stack I'm gonna be using.
If you wanna follow along with this video,
then I suggest you use the same stack as well,
but of course, there's no harm in choosing another one.
Maybe going forward if you set up a second or third site,
you might wanna check out a few of these other ones,
but I think just the main one is perfect
for what we wanna do today.
So, let's get the link.
There's the link.
Okay, so I'm gonna copy that to my clipboard.
In terms of the password,
that's not in my clipboard anymore.
So, I'm gonna have to save this somewhere else.
Let's just copy it to a note actually,
that'd be the best thing.
I've got my old TextEdit down here.
And I'm just gonna paste it in there, so I got it to hand.
So, scroll back down, let's get the link,
copy that to clipboard.
Perfect.
And then we'll go to WP Clone.
Restore from URL, paste that in, tick I Agree,
and then we're gonna click Restore from URL.
So, this is just gonna wipe everything
that we've done so far.
It's gonna put WordPress on
and it's gonna set it up, it's okay, it's a demo stack,
and then we're gonna log in with that username and password
and then we're gonna have to recreate our username again,
but it will save us a lot of work in the long run
because it will bring all the pages and everything in,
all the templates,
so all we need to do is tweak a few things.
So, let's get it going.
I'm gonna click Restore from URL and press OK.
It says it might take a few minutes, that's fine.
Okay, it's all done.
It says we can view the site by clicking here, let's click.
Let's see what it's done.
So, that's all working fine.
We're gonna need to log in now
and just re-save our permalinks.
It says here we may need to do that, so let's do that.
So, to log on we need to click here.
Then we need to log in with that demo account.
So, let's do that.
So, it was rehubdemo, oops.
Rebug, rehub.
Like that.
And then we're gonna paste the password in from clipboard
or my TextEdit even, this one, rehubpass999777.
And here we are.
So, we need to re-save these permalinks.
What I'm gonna set it to is using the Custom Structure,
I'm just gonna take out everything that's in that box,
just highlight all, press delete,
and we're gonna go for category
and then we're gonna for post link, just like that.
So, you just click category, then post link.
Then click Save.
Perfect.
The next thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna create
a username that I can remember
rather than using this demo one.
Obviously for security reasons,
obviously we don't wanna be using that
'cause everyone knows what that password is.
I'm gonna click Add New.
Go for wpeagle, put me email in.
I apologise if there's baby noise in the background.
I do my best to keep it as minimum.
I can't always avoid it,
otherwise I'd never be able to record anything.
So, let's enter a password that I can remember.
Confirm use of weak password,
it's not that weak, but you know,
don't wanna send an email.
Click Add New User.
So, there's a few other users on here as we can see.
What I'll do is I'm gonna get rid of those in a second,
but first, I'm gonna logout
and then I'm gonna log in as
the new wpeagle username.
So, wpeagle.
The password I just set up.
I'm gonna tick Remember Me,
so I don't have to log in each time.
I can update the password in my browser.
There we go, we're in.
We're nearly back to where we were,
but hey, we got a nice demo site set up now
that we can start changing.
So, I'm just gonna select all these other guys
'cause I don't know who they are
and it's a little bit of a street risk to leave them on.
Just like that.
Bulk Actions, Delete, and then Apply.
It's gonna ask what should be done with the content,
you wanna attribute it all to yourself.
There you go, me, WP Eagle, confirm.
You don't obviously wanna delete that content
'cause otherwise, it'll be deleted
and you're gonna kind of delete the ability
of installing the demo content.
So, that's good, I think the site should be working now.
Let's go and just have a look.
We should be able to click about, have a look at some stuff.
Here we go.
So, yeah, we got a load of homes that we can now look at.
I am gonna go for this one, the deal search page
which is one of my favourites.
That needs to be white, doesn't it?
But we'll change all that stuff in a second.
I like this, nice.
And then in terms of the post,
I think I'm gonna go for something,
oh, hang on, these aren't gonna work yet
because you haven't installed content egg.
Which is the next job funny enough.
Yeah, I'm gonna go for something like this,
it's quite nice, isn't it?
But we'll figure that out in a second.
So, as I said, the next job is to instal Content Egg
which is our plugin that's gonna pull in
all the products from all our different merchants
and all that kind of stuff.
The next step is gonna be downloading that plugin,
installing it, and then hooking it up
to some of those merchants,
and I'm gonna be hooking it up to eBay,
Amazon, and VigLink for now.
But before we do that,
there's one last thing we just need to do
and that is just rename our site.
After installing that demo content,
it's just changed it to the Rehub demo site
which is not what we want our site to be called.
I'm guessing that's not what you want it to be called.
So, let's just quickly change that
by going into the dashboard.
And then we go into
Settings down here and then General.
And we can just enter it at the top here, so TrainerSaver,
also you put in whatever your site is gonna be called.
Tagline, save money on amazing Trainers.
Oh, and we also need to update this email address.
And you can adjust these other settings if you so wish.
I'm fine with them as they are.
So, let's save.
So, that's all saved.
You will get an email come through to your email address
with a link that you need to click,
just to kinda authorise the email change,
that's fairly straightforward, so check your email.
It might take a couple of moments to come through,
but anyway, that's all done,
we're making some good progress.
The next step and I'll just say is to instal Content Egg
which is gonna pull in all our affiliate products,
so we're gonna go and buy Content Egg.
We're gonna download it, we're gonna instal it.
We're gonna configure it,
so that it's connected to a number of different merchants
like Amazon and eBay and things like that.
And then we're gonna start pulling in some products,
customising the site, and making it look all right.
I think we're kinda making some real good progress
and we're nearly there.
As I said, the next thing is to instal
that Content Egg plugin,
so I'm gonna do a quick edit and let's do it.
So, the first thing we need to do
before we instal our Content Egg plugin
is to remove the Content Egg
that's already installed by demo content.
Now, this is the free version plugin
and we're gonna be using the premium version
because it gives you loads more features
and does what we actually want.
So, to remove the one that's installed,
we need to go to Instal Plugins.
And then deactivate Content Egg.
And then delete it.
And there we go, it's gone.
So, now we're ready to go and purchase the premium version
and so to do that, we need to head over to CodeCanyon,
so let's do that.
So, I'm over at CodeCanyon,
you'll find all links in the description
and here is Content Egg, this is a premium plugin,
and it basically allows us to connect to the merchants
that we're signed up with as an affiliate.
So, maybe Amazon, eBay, AliExpress,
VigLink, Impact Radius, Commission Junction.
This plugin sports about 30 different merchants,
so it's probably gonna cover
a few of the ones that you're looking to promote,
some of them obviously are for a lot of different retailers,
they're more of an affiliate network,
so Impact Radius and Commission Junction.
Once you've signed up with those guys,
you have access to lots of different merchants.
This plugin does all of the heavy lifting for us.
It makes it very easy to import products onto the site.
It updates all the prices for us
which is obviously very useful
if you're running a price comparison site
and yeah, it's just really cool.
It's really powerful, it's easy to use,
and it's well supported.
You're gonna need to buy a licence today.
The cost for that is $48 as I mentioned earlier,
so hopefully you've charged up your Envato account
with enough credit to be able to make this purchase.
If not, you're gonna have to add more credit.
I did mention it earlier.
So, once you've purchased the plugin
and you are gonna need this plugin
in order to complete this tutorial,
you can then download it.
So, I'm gonna download onto my computer
if I can just find the right folder.
There we go.
So, save it to my computer.
So, I've saved that to my computer
and if I take a look at the file,
you get a zip file which starts codecanyon,
then some numbers and stuff.
If you open that up, extract it,
you'll find a folder in there called Content Egg,
then within there, you'll find a zip file
and that's the zip file that we're gonna be uploading
to our website.
So, let's do that now.
I'm gonna go back to dashboard.
And I'm gonna go to Plugins and Add New.
I'm gonna go to Upload Plugin.
Choose File.
Find the right folder.
There we go, so I've gone into that Content Egg folder
which was within the zip file
that I just downloaded from CodeCanyon
and within there, there is the Content Egg zip file
which is the one we're gonna be uploading.
So, select that and then click Instal Now.
And there we go, then we click Activate.
Okay, so Content Egg is installed and it's active.
Now, before I go too much further,
there's this little message that we've got
kind of across the top about some grandchild plugin
that needs to be activated, so let's do that,
get that message out of the way
before we go too much further.
So, I just clicked it, then click Activate.
Good, that's done, no more annoying messages.
So, let's get back into Content Egg.
That's done, no more annoying messages.
So, let's go back into Content Egg.
You can find all your Content Egg settings down here
under Content Egg, funny enough.
And here we go.
And here's all our merchants that we can connect to.
As you can see, there's quite a few different ones,
it's gonna depend on the sort of products
that you're promoting,
that's gonna determine which ones you're gonna go for.
Obviously, you need to go over to the relevant sites
and sign up as an affiliate
in order to get them working.
So, if you wanna be an Amazon affiliate,
you need to go over to Amazon and sign up over there
and that will give you all the information that you need,
but I'll go into that in a bit more detail
as we set these up.
Now, one thing you'll notice
is that a couple of them are green already,
so that's just the demo content,
the demo site switched those on for us.
You're gonna wanna make sure that you turn off
anything that you're not using
and if you are using it,
you're gonna wanna make sure that you go in,
oh, let me just click properly.
You're gonna wanna make sure that you go in
and update the access keys and the secret keys
and all that kind of stuff
because these are the demo keys and demo affiliate IDs
and if you wanna get your commission,
you kinda wanna make sure that you put your details in.
All I'm gonna do just to make it nice and clean
before we start, I'm just gonna get rid of all this stuff
and I'm just gonna turn it off.
I'll turn it back on again in a minute probably,
but just so they're all on the same page,
I'm gonna turn off all of the demo stuff,
so it's nice and fresh.
This other one is Offer, I'm not gonna be using that today,
don't know what it is actually.
Sounds like just an inquiry place
to get a discount voucher or something,
but for now I'm just gonna turn it off.
Yeah, there we go.
We're now ready to start setting up.
I'm gonna set up Amazon, I'm gonna set up eBay,
I'm gonna set up VigLink.
Let's get these set up.
They're all pretty much the same in terms of how they work.
They generally want an API key
which you can get once you've signed up
with the merchant as an affiliate.
So, let's start with Amazon
'cause I'm sure a lot of you are gonna wanna use Amazon.
So, we got a few options here,
so we can enable the module.
We can decide whether it adds these products
automatically at the end of a post
or at the beginning of a post or shortcodes.
I think I'm gonna go for shortcodes only
'cause I want total control over my pages and posts.
We're gonna leave the priority at 10.
Here's the template.
Yeah, there's a number of different templates,
I'll leave it as a product card for now.
You can play around with these,
it depends on the theme and stuff,
but product card should be fine.
I'm gonna use a title of Amazon,
that makes it pretty obvious what it is.
I'm gonna leave Featured Image as Don't set
'cause like I say I wanna really have control
over the posts that I'm gonna be
setting up with the products.
We're gonna leave the Update by keyword as it is
and the Price update, so that's in seconds.
I don't know, how long is that in realtime.
Let me just have a quick look.
86,400 seconds, what's that in hours?
Oh, it's 24 hours.
I never knew that, there's 86,400 seconds in a day,
so basically it's gonna update prices every 24 hours
which is perfect.
So, it's gonna update by page view,
so that means that when someone looks
at a page on your site,
it's gonna run the update.
You can change it to cron which would work fine as well
or by page view and by schedule,
that sounds good, let's go for that.
So, it'll update when someone looks at the page,
it'll also update after 24 hours on a schedule.
So, in these next boxes,
we're gonna be adding our access key,
our secret access key, and our default tracking ID.
If there's anything in these boxes on your site,
maybe the demo content may have added some keys,
just delete those out of there
because you're gonna be wanting to use your own one
and obviously your own tracking ID,
so that you get paid commission.
So, yeah, if there's anything in these boxes,
just remove it,
and then we can go about adding our own stuff.
So, as I mentioned these are the keys that we need
in order to connect to the Amazon API,
download products, update prices automatically,
all that kind of stuff.
In order to get these keys,
you need to be signed up as an Amazon affiliate
or an Amazon associate as they call it.
To do that, head over to the Amazon you wanna promote.
So, if it's amazon.com,
you'd head over to amazon.com.
If it's the UK site, you go to amazon.co.uk
which is what I'm gonna be promoting
because my site is UK-focused.
You can of course sign up for more than one if you like.
That's fine, but I like to focus
just on one country per site, but it's up to you.
Once you get to your Amazon site,
scroll down to the bottom and in the footer,
you'll find a link to the associates programme.
You can then click that big button there
that says Join Now For Free.
Log in with your Amazon account, fill in some forms,
and then you'll be all done.
They don't actually approve you
until you start sending traffic,
but you still get access to the keys and all that stuff
as soon as you've filled in all the relevant forms.
I've already done that.
I'm already signed up as an Amazon associate for the UK,
so I'm gonna click login and then we're gonna log in.
And then once you're logged in, you get your dashboard,
it gives you an idea of your earnings down there
and all that kinda stuff,
but what we want is our API keys
and to find them you go to Tools
and then Product Advertising API.
