How To Install And Setup Ali Plugin For AliExpress.com (Updated For 2017)

By Ryan Gray on October 22, 2016 21

This is the second part to my series on How To Make Money With Ali Express.

In part one we covered:

  • Step 1: Niche Selection
  • Step 2: Domain & Cloud Hosting Setup (Click Here To Setup)
  • Step 3: Install & Configure WordPress
  • Step 4: Get Required Software (Click Here For Discount Link)
  • Step 5: Build Your AliExpress Affiliate Website

This second part is going to begin at Step 5 where I show how to install the required software, Aliplugin, and help you begin building your website.

You will need an active AliExpress Affiliate Account. You can apply for one at this link. The approval process can take up to 7 – 10 business days, so it’s important to get on this sooner than later.

How To Install AliPlugin:

How To Build Your AliExpress Affiliate Website

  • Step 1: Install Ali Plugin
  • Step 2: Select Your Theme
  • Step 3: Connect AliExpress Api
  • Step 4: Search & Import Products
  • Step 5: Create Site Menus
  • Step 6: Customize Site

As displayed in the video, it’s pretty easy to get your website all setup and configured without any coding knowledge!  The more familiar you get with the WordPress admin interface, the easier the entire process will be.

Once your website is built, you’ll want to start posting about it on social media so you can begin generating traffic.  You should also research and do some simple SEO and other organic promotion techniques!

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

    I think being an aliexpress affiliate seems cool, but I don’t know anybody other than myself that has made a purchase from them or alibaba.

    Anybody know of a good case study for aliexpress affiliates?

      Thanks for your comment Troy!

      AliExpress is really popular internationally, but is growing in the US:

      https://www.similarweb.com/website/aliexpress.com#overview

      What a lot of affiliates are doing is setting up their own shops, promoting them via Facebook, and then drop shipping using AliExpress (so people don’t know the product is coming from there).

      I kinda look at it like “the new” Amazon, but there are definitely some affiliates out there doing solid numbers.

      Hey David,

      Thanks for your comment! The plugin basically acts as an affiliate bridge. When someone clicks to order on your site they’ll be directed over to AliExpress.com where they handle all the payment information as well as shipping.

      They’ll pay you a percentage of the sale as an affiliate commission! All you have to do is send the targeted traffic!
