You have provided some excellent tips for everyone. So have you set up your own affiliate programs already? It's nice that you can do this so easily on WP and WooCommerce. What about security though?
Well what i think security is a big concern for everyone and it's everywhere even offline. Nothing is 100% secure, so the work here comes to security experts by keeping an eye on your website by installing firewalls to block website exploits, sql injection and DDos attacks. Thanks for Thanking.
Security even offline? Wow! It's only a matter of time before they start checking your pockets at airlines.
