ABSTRACT

WordPress offers some brilliant themes with ecommerce functionality built in using the platform WooCommerce. WooCommerce actually powers 28% of the world's online stores. According to a report produced by Deloitte for News Media Association, the UK's trade body for publishers, the vast majority of news media organisations' revenue continues to come from print readership, with only 12% coming from digital. The most interesting thing about the venture is the link with Blendle. Blendle has been called the Spotify of journalism — created by Alexander Klopping, it is an online newsstand which allows people to browse through lots of journalism and just pay for the stories they like. Reader can sell subscriptions in terms of a set number of days, months or years, and have subscriptions continue forever. A good start is looking at homeworkinguk.com/affiliate-programs/for companies which offer affiliate programmes that reader can join.
