Hah! Mr Web literally just posted a really detailed how to for building a car dealer marketplace in WordPress. I just talking about this yesterday in my recently posted video on how to sell expensive things using Siren.
Great minds!
Most of my web development work is done through WordPress. I’ve built hundreds of little WordPress plugins, and dozens of scratch-made sites. At this point, I’ve modified nearly every corner of WordPress at some point since I started using it in 2009.
I sat in with Matt Medeiros’ WP Minute+ Podcast, where we talked about Siren, and how you can use it to create an affiliate program for more-complex, and expensive service-based companies.

For those (like me) who have been grumbling that Studio isn’t available for Windows…

One of the most exciting things about Siren’s multi-program approach is that you can create a program that focuses on generating leads, and then another program that focuses on converting those leads. This splits the responsibility, and makes it possible to run an affiliate program for higher-dollar sales items that, prior to this, were difficult to do well with a single affiliate program.

Something I frequently need in Siren is a flowchart to help explain how different affiliate programs work, so I’m putting together a flowchart block. Making good use of the LeaderLine library and core’s group block, as well as an existing card block I already had laying around. Really loving how much less code I’m writing to do simple stuff like flex layouts with full site editing.

I’m still getting used to using a full site theme for WordPress. But WOW today was a win. I’m working on setting up the documentation portal for Siren Affiliates, and literally just created a custom post type, and that was the extend of the code. I’m able to build all of the template layouts for the post type in the FSE context.
This is REALLY cool!

I’m working on the launch documentation for Siren. I’m pretty comfortable with video, so I decided a great place to start is by building a getting started course using Lifter LMS. I think that’ll translate into text fairly fast.

I didn’t come up with Siren overnight. It represents years of experience, both as a developer and a user of Affiliate programs.
