Aliexpress will pay you commissions for any sale you generate for them. The commission rate varies depending on the product, it ranges from 8% to 20%.

Promoting a single product affiliate link to your friends and family won’t make you much money passively. I know that will be ridiculous, so I am introducing Aliplugin, the wordpress plugin I used for creating all my aliexpress affiliate stores. This plugin is the secret to earning passive income with aliexpress.
Here are samples of Aliplugin stores
How to create an Aliexpress Affiliate Store
Aliplugin is a wordpress plugin that automatically creates aliexpress store and import multiple products from aliexpress into your store within few minutes. With Aliplugin you can create a brand new aliexpress affiliate store within an hour. To get started, you will need to do niche research. Niche is like a market where you want your store products to focus on. From experience these niches do well
- Women dress and accessories
- Hunting/fishing gear
- Electronics
- Apparel (clothes, shoes, watches)
- Health and Beauty.
Don’t limit yourself, trying other niches won’t harm rather you might discover a goldmine. The earning potential of aliplugin is endless as long as Aliexpress is in business. When you done deciding the niche you want to build your store, the next is to buy a domain.
How to find domains for your store
Always choose a domain related to your niche. For example, if you choose to sell Men Watches, find a domain like BestMenWatches.com. Best place to find your niche related domain is LeanDomainSearch, you can visit this site, and when you enter some keyword like ‘Watches’, site algorithm will recommend you best available domains based on the keyword. I also use name checker to check if the domain is available across social media websites.

Click on the get started button, then enter the domain name you want to create the store on. If you already have a domain from another registrar you can also use it by checking the radio button “I plan to use a domain I already own”
The next page will come up with some form which is required for creating a new [eafl id=”693″ name=”ipage” text=”ipage”] hosting account. Select the 12 months, 2 or 3 years hosting plan and disable all the add-ons that are checked.

When you are done with payment log into your ipage account and install wordpress on to your domain (the domain you want to use for aliexpress affiliate store). Installing wordpress is very easy just click on the wordpress icon as seen in the screenshot below and follow the step by step direction. If you need help you can always send me a message on the facebook page.
When done with wordpress installation next is to buy the [eafl id=”695″ name=”Aliplugin” text=”aliplugin”], you can watch it’s 2 minute video below
Click here to buy [eafl id=”695″ name=”Aliplugin” text=”aliplugin”] with which you can create unlimited number of stores and make recurring passive income. Aliplugin will easily enable you search AliExpress for products, add AliExpress products directly, auto update any product information and also schedule products import.
After purchasing the plugin and installing it, you will have to do some few configurations like, setting the theme of your choice and then importing related products. The products importing can be done manually or through aliexpress API.
To import products through aliexpress API log into your aliexpress affiliate account, click on the Ad center tab and apply for the API key. It will take 7 workings days for approval, when approved you will be able to see your API key with which you can use to import and schedule products automatically.
How to promote your store:
Aliplugin stores are search engine optimized which means even without promoting it you will be getting organic traffic. All you need to do is to build more stores and earn more passive income. Nevertheless the best place to promote your store is on social media websites like facebook, Instagram and twitter. You can also use facebook ads, target countries like Spain, Brazil, Russia, and countries of Eastern Europe with female audience mostly.
How to withdraw your earnings:
Aliexpress will pay you through paypal or ACH bank transfer in USD, if you are not in USA you can withdraw your earnings using payoneer. If you don’t have payoneer click here to sign up for one.
Summary:
Get a domain name and hosting, setup wordPress, install AliPlugin, select a theme and upload products. I would say it takes about an hour. You can make $100 daily with 40 stores on autopilot each one making at least $3 daily, start gradually and expand with time. Just schedule 20-30 product imports every day, and that’s it. Also note that some stores will perform better in earnings and some might not. This can be due to the niche factor or maybe marketing.

Hi Victor. Im using Aliexpress Portal but im not in USA and i have Payoneer account. There’s no Swift code in Payoneer. Payoneer support told me to enter the routing number instead of the swift code but when I enter the routing number it gives the wrong swift code. I think you know about Payoneer. How do I solve this problem?
