Man there have been some really cool plugins coming out lately that are just making our jobs so much easier!! Whether you’re a blogger or affiliate marketer some of these plugins provide the extra functionality you need to turbo charge your site!
So whats one of the most important things you can add to your site to help you create a recurring income stream? Thats’ right, an email subscription form! The sad thing is a lot of Affiliate Marketers don’t have an email form on their site. But with MaxBlogPress and their new plugin for WordPress called the Optin Form Adder this is easily fixed.. This cool new plugin allows you to create an email optin subscription form to your site or blog. It’s really great for folks who are a little shaky on adding html to their site. This plugin creates all the code needed for your email form and inserts right into your site page or post. If you use Awebber or are considering it, it works like a charm. Check out MaxBlogPress Optin Form Adder, it rocks and and best of all its free!
Next up on our list of cool new plugins is phpBay-Search2Post. This plugin does require phpBaby to be installed however it’s amazing for an ebay affiliate. phpBay-Search2Post replaces the built-in search function of WordPress. Anytime someone searches for a keyword phrase, phpBay-Search2Post will create a new post or page based on that key phrase and populate the page with a list of ebay products for the phrase. Now you can have content generated dynamically on the fly for every search. Thats right, phpBay-Search2Post is auto content generator creating pages based on exactly what your visitors are searching for! Now that rocks! This one cost a little bit of money but it’s not too bad, only $15 bucks. If you use phpBay this is a very handy addition
Finally one last amazing plugin I saw the other day was Caffeinated Content. This little plugin can totally populate your blog with content, comments, images, everything! It will even back date posts to whatever date you choose. It pulls relavent content from Yahoo answers, YouTube, and article directoies. In a matter of minutes your empty blog can look like its been around for years. Now of course all of this content will be duplicate content and be very careful of plagerism. But you can rewrite each post before it gets posted to your blog. If you don’t rewrite the articles, you need to make sure every article keeps the original authors links or you will be violating copyright. I personnally havent purchased Caffeinated Content yet. But I saw it and thought it was pretty amazing. The cost on this is $46 (with coupon code IDEAL40OFF) so I’m not sure I ready just yet to break out my wallet… but I sure am tempted. The only thing I would recommend this for is to possibly seed your blog with some syndicated content or place holder content and later add in your own unique content. Or if you are testing a new layout this maybe very helpful.
As alot of you know I don’t promote anything that I’m not using. From time to time I don’t promote things here that I do make a commision off of (afterall I am in affiliate marketing). But I don’t promote it if I havent purchased it myself and highly recommend it. None of the above links are affiliate links and I’m not being compensated for this post in anyway. I just thought these plugins looked cool and wanted to tell you about them.
If you use any of these plugins or check them out, let me know. Leave a comment and tell us all what you thought! thanks!

Hi Joseph
Many thanks for the mention of my Search2Post plugin in your post. Much appreciated, and glad you are finding it useful.
Just wanted to mention that I am busy with a major upgrade to it, that I am planning to release by Monday.
I have now removed the dependence on phpBay. It still works perfectly with phpBay, its just now not a requirement that you have it.
I have made a massive change in the control that a user has on the output generated by the plugin, with the introduction of external templates (that can also have their own CSS style sheet).
This new version will be even more fun
Kind regards
Alan
Hi Joe,
If your readers are interested in Caffeinated Content, they might also be interested in the scheduler I’ve released to take Caffeinated Content to the next level. It makes the upload of content scheduled, across any number of domains, running hands-free every day, as opposed to the stand-alone plugin which requires you to log in to EACH blog you have and run the content upload manually.
And I have an affiliate program if you are interested!
Regards,
Andy
