Me: I won’t add any more features before Siren’s launch, I swear!
Also Me: This is too useful to not squeeze in real-quick. Besides, I want it for Siren’s affiliate program.
Now I gotta update the docs 😅.
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.

So this is kinda neat. I added a tiny little widget to my WordPress dashboard that allows me to speed up the process of publishing microposts (tweets) on my site.

I got Siren’s deployment process all set up and ready to so, along with licensing and the auto-updates. It’s just a matter of fixing a few tiny bugs I’ve noticed while doing docs, and it’ll be ready for June 4th. Can’t wait!
This post explores how I’m tackling the support system around Siren, and how I think it’s going to stand out as top-tier support.

I need to think a bit about onboarding with Siren. Right now, it kinda just installs the plugin without any context. I don’t want to do a full-blown wizard before launch, but maybe a single “getting started” screen would be useful. Hmm.
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.

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!

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.
