5 Must Have WordPress Plugins for Marketers
I’ve been using WordPress for marketing myself, my courses and my businesses for 7+ years. Before that, I would hard code websites which I had done since the 90’s when living in Seattle. WordPress makes it so easy for anyone to run an online business. However, with so many plugins available, it can be hard finding the best plugin for your needs.
I’ve put together this list of 5 WordPress Plugins I use for marketing my various WordPress website.
Optin Monster
Why do you need it?
You need a plugin like Optin Monster to capture lead generation information from the visitor of your website. If you don’t you are missing out on converting those visitors into marketing opportunities. Did you know that 70% of those who visit your website will leave and never come back? Make sure you have a strong lead magnet to offer which makes it easier to get subscribers to opt-in to your list.

ThirstyAffiliates
Why do you need it?
Besides teaching online courses I run 2 websites to promote the courses of other instructors. Both websites Online Course Coupons and Free Course Daily run this plugin. It’s made affiliate marketing easy for me and I’m just running the most basic version. The plugin lets you cloak links which is important as a marketer because of the long links generated by affiliate marketing programs. I want something simple, clean and that looks like a normal URL and that’s what you get with ThirstyAffiliates. There are add-ons available to give this plugin even more functionality.

ConvertKit
Why do you need it?
Email marketing is at the heart of every successful online business.
ConvertKit makes it easy to capture more leads and sell more products by easily
embedding email capture forms anywhere. This plugin makes it a little bit easier for those of us using WordPress
blogs, by automatically appending a lead capture form to any post or page.
If you choose a default form on the settings page, that form will be embedded at the bottom of every post or page
(in single view only) across your site. If you wish to turn off form embedding or select a different form for
an individual post or page, you can do so within the ConvertKit meta box on the editing form.
Finally, you can insert the default form into the middle of post or page content by using the [convertkit] shortcode.
