    Affiliate marketing by integrating WordPress stores into my blogs using affiliate datafeeds. Then adding valuable blog posts to send traffic to my store pages.

    Unfortunately it's a paid plugin. With the plugin alone you can't do much. In fact it's part of a membership site - datafeedr.com - that recently (some months ago) launched.

    I've tried several WP store solutions but this one blows every service away in terms of store creation process and customization options.

    You can build unlimited Wordpress stores. What I especially like is that you can combine products from merchants from different networks (CJ, Linkshare, Shareasale, Netshops) into one store. The only limitation is 10,000 products per store. Then upload your store feed to your WP blog together with the plugin and your store is ready to go. I'm also using the drip feature a lot.

    A lot of customization options too. Just watch the videos at their salespage to get the idea. The service may seem pricey but worth the money (at least for me :)) if you're in different niches and wants to build several affiliate stores.

    Cheers for sharing, guys!

    So, more people saying paid post and ad selling - I guess those two are the most used method of monetisation :)

    @ Contrarian - Is kontera better than adsense?

    Not at all adsense is much much better than Kontera.

    Right now I am using adsense and Kontera only. But I also need your advice. I am from India.

    Paid to post is earning me much more than Adsense.

    Sadly I am seriously thinking about whether to drop PayPerPost from my main blog because they keep throwing a tantrum about me using other avenues of advertising on it.

    I use Adsense, Kontera, Adbrite & Linkworth and appaently they are not allowed on the pages as the reviews. :(

    $97.00 a month, you've got to be a good affiliate marketer to reason paying that every month.

    Sure it's designed in such a way that it's very simple for non-programmers to put together your store (point and clicking system). Just watch the intro video to see what I mean. The store installation process and customization options are explained in step per step videos in the members area. And the owners are very responsive in the support forum should you have any problems or questions.

    It's always nice if you can cover the cost with the commissions earned. But I'm also paying for the time I otherwise had to spend in doing all this manually. I would probably spend more than a day in setting up only 1 store by hand while with this system I can do one store in less than 30 min. The time I save I can spend on marketing.

    I saw a thread this week in BTS section where Eric, owner of Datafeedr, is running a special offer right now ($77 instead of $97). It's here

    forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=894805

    It seems they are also working on some lower subscription options for those people who want to start small or just are interested for building 1 or two stores.
