I can’t get enough of how GOOD this green looks on this dark blue.
Seriously, I just bought swag with hoodies in black with the Siren logo and now I’m wondering if I should have went with navy blue.
Siren is the only WordPress plugin that lets you design and run custom revenue‑sharing programs with no coding.
Siren gives you the tools to create and manage partnership programs exactly the way you want them to work.
On the podcast today we have Alex Standiford. Alex has established himself as a familiar face in the WordPress ecosystem. With a background that includes time at GoDaddy and Sandhills Development, a stint in freelancing, and now as the creator behind Siren Affiliates, an affiliate solution for WordPress, he brings both technical depth and many other qualities (as you’ll hear!). Over the years, Alex has become a passionate contributor to the WordPress community. This episode sets its sights on a topic that’s everywhere right now… AI. I know, sight, right!?! But before you reach for the skip button, the conversation…
According to Alex Standiford from Siren Affiliate, affiliate programs should be much more than just discount systems or referral links in the modern era. According to him, companies particularly those that provide courses and software should consider themselves to be media and education enterprises that require ongoing content, collaborations, and audience trust in order to expand. Alex advises locating niche specialists, bloggers, podcasters, influencers, and producers who already cater to your desired audience and offering them incentives to produce worthwhile material about your product or sector rather than attempting to produce all of the content yourself. He refers to these…
Product discovery is moving into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. For a founder, an MCP server isn’t an integration anymore. It’s the first touchpoint.
You don’t need a massive affiliate network to start seeing results. Just one great partner who truly moves the needle. This post walks you through exactly how to identify, pitch, and secure your first high-value affiliate partner.
You’re signing up affiliates, but sales aren’t growing. More affiliates should mean more revenue… yet all you’re getting are low-effort promoters who barely move the needle. This post dives into why that happens, and how to find affiliates who actually drive sales.
I’ve spent way too much time trying to build separate sales pipelines when the answer was right in front of me—Siren. Instead of growing Siren in spite of my business, I’m building my business around Siren. Every product, every service—Siren is the core. 🚀

I’ve been methodically chipping away at building the rest of Siren’s rebranded site. Added first drafts of a few key pages today. Really excited to see it all finally coming together!

I love building sites that are dark mode first. Siren’s new site is looking so…so good.
Can’t wait to share!

I never get tired of seeing these as they come in!
“I am thrilled to be a new Siren customer. Today, I created the first Affiliate Program for my LifterLMS site. This is an excellent solution for compensating content creators, and I can think of a couple of other use cases that I can’t wait to try out! I highly recommend this product.”

So PHPNomad can run as an MVC framework now. That’s neat. I needed a way to make Siren run outside of WordPress. After careful consideration, I decided the best route to take was to set up the last couple of packages needed to just make PHPNomad capable of running as its own MVC framework. I spent a weekend creating the strategies that WordPress handles for Siren using various Symfony packages and other dependencies. After that, I structured it so that the app runs PHPNomad, registers the routes embedded in the application properly, and allows you to create views specific to…

I decided to keep it simple this year with Siren’s Black Friday sale. You get a 60% discount, and I’m also offering a Lifetime deal! The lifetime deal will not be available after Monday, so if you’ve been on the fence now is a good time to pick it up.
