I normally do not share my money making techniques, as it will be saturated next day. Beside the WordPress Vault, I have been running a successful affiliate marketing campaign which is very effective. It will be a nifty way to earn some extra $$ along these shitty days. By revealing this affiliate marketing spoon-feed method, I am aware it can be saturated as well. Be creative with this method, as you can use it along with other online products/services as well.
To many of them, affiliate marketing is a common way of earning. This will not be a very detailed guide, but enough to get started with not too much investment.
How does this work?

How does this work?
- A churn & burn website & domain. I got a shitty website about WordPress themes and plugins, with auto generated content, scraped from the ThemeForest comments & reviews page on their item. A sample will be this theme: https://themeforest.net/item/mercury-gambling-news-casino-magazine-wordpress-theme/20951954 - it has loads of positive reviews and I have them scraped into my churn and burn website. I don't care about the duplicate content, as long as it looks valid to Envato. Domain / hosting options: choose whatever you want regarding this. It's important to have a fast loading website, as it will redirect your affiliate orders, to the original item's page of ThemeForest.
- Sign up as an affiliate on Envato. Make sure to make the churn & burn website like a valid review website. They have a strict affiliate policy, so make sure they will not recognise any suspicious activity. I have a domain name like 'best-wp-themes.com' as it will be indexed eventually in Google as well. Once signed up as an affiliate, you're ready to go.
- Redirect all traffic you're getting to this website to the item's page of a WordPress theme. I will talk about getting traffic in step 4. Redirecting can be done using a few different techniques. The most common one is using WooCommerce with their affiliate option. I am using ShopKeeper or another ecommerce theme. You will add the themeforest.net/item-link?ref-id along the 'live preview' link on your website.
- THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE: getting traffic to your website is our biggest deal. The way I am SPAM posting this method is using the GSA Contact Form Submitter. I am in no way affiliated with this product, but this is magic. You're able to send unlimited contact forms along the internet, based on keywords. I am using online keyword tools to import these keywords and the program will search for websites which has a contact form. You will have to target on 'web development' or 'WordPress themes' as keywords. I am using the tool to harvest around 15-20k contact forms, which will be used in the next step.
- In this step, make sure to have the program installed on a VPS. Use a VPN connection with 15 minutes switch of IP. Run the VPS 24 hours, get some nice contact forms and spam the URL of your website on these contact forms. I am using this with a twist: I have many variables to make the email content looks unique and checks the spam traps. In some cases, I use a secondary domain, something like 'envato-themes.com' and redirect the traffic along the ref-id to ThemeForest. I am using a no-refer script to hide the ref domain name. In other cases, I am using my churn & burn website to redirect the visitors. USE PROXIES!
- But how does this make me money? Well, if you target on WordPress teams, development teams, Facebook growing services, web design companies, and so on... they might click your link and redirect them to ThemeForest with your ref-id. This is working pretty well, as these guys often buy themes. The more your list of contact forms is targeted to your niche, the better you'll convert. The cookie is being saved for 30 days. Whenever the visitor makes a purchase within this date, you'll get your commission.
- Make sure to make multiple websites, and create different affiliate account. I got caught in the past with an account with $2.300 in affiliate commission in it. Withdraw with every $50-$100 you get asap.
- DON'T link your original IP with your Envato Account and your affiliate account. If you made any purchases on the main account, you'll be risking a ban too.
- Have some patience. It's important to tweak this method to your own needs. It took me a while to create converting texts, setup a nice website, duplicate it 10 times, clone your VPS, setup proxies, and so on.
- Let's tweak this: I also used this program with different affilate programs, I have been working in the music industry before and spammed a SoundCloud bot in the past. It converted pretty good, as these people were searching for an increase of their social signals around their music. Just a though to tweak it
