Wordpres sites are customized through plugins. If you have a worpress site, make sure to use these plugins.

Jetpack, a plugin from the developer of WordPress, is another important plugin that you should be using on your wordpress blog. Jetpack is a multipurpose plugin, you can track your traffic among many things. Jetpack also allows you to use WordAds, the monetization program for WordPress websites.

Your wordpress site also needs a security plugin. One security plugin that I find very useful is called Wordfence Security. Wordfence is an Anti-virus, Firewall and Malware combined in one. This plugin allows you to track your traffic and keep track of unauthorized activities on your site.

You also need to use Google Analytics plugin on my wordpress site. There are a lot of plugins that show Googole Analytics data on your website dashboards, but I recommend Exact Metrics. The plugin shows the traffic stat on my website. I can see my website traffic without leaving my website. For in-depth analysis, I might visit Google Analytics, but brief stat on traffic I do not have to leave my website. I see my traffic stats every time visit my website dashboard.

If you are planning to sell digital products on your website, you will have to use a plugin that allows you to sell digital products. My personal favorite is “easy digital download”. This is a free plugin that will convert your simple wordpress website into an online store for a digital product. You can also use woocommerce for your digital product. Selling digital products require you to upload a lot of digital files, which means you need a lot of resources on your servers. A simple shared hosting may not be enough. Your website also needs a lot of visitors before you can sell.

If you are really interested in dropshipping, but do not want to invest money in creating a drpshipping store, you can create a dropshipping store for free on wordpress. Once you have domain and hosting, install wordpress, add woocommerce plugin, search for free drpshipping plugin, and also install the plugin. The plugin will allow you to import products from dropship stores like Aliexpress with a few clicks. You can not only import the title and image but also a description and even the reviews. The free plugins have limitations on how many products you can import and how many products you can sell.
