I have been flying the Thrive Themes flag for over two years now and love their conversion focused plugins. I originally had a membership for all of their products, including Themes and Plugins which was extremely reasonable at $19/month. However, as I prefer using Elegant Themes’ Divi and Extra Themes as the foundation to my websites, I decided to cancel my membership and buy the majority of the Thrive Themes’ Plugins as one off costs as I wanted to reduce ongoing monthly costs to my business.
Below I have selected my favorite 7 Thrive Themes Plugins for not just affiliate marketing but for any online business in general. If you are trying to grow your mailing list, build landing pages quickly, specifically target certain audiences with offers, increase urgency or split test your designs, then Thrive Themes has a solution for you. I own each one of these plugins and give my honest review score of each. Everyone Thrive plugin on this page deserves a score of four out of five or higher – I wouldn’t include them otherwise.
Thrive Themes has a 100% Satisfaction guarantee on all of its products – you can get a full refund within 30 days if you are not happy with any of your purchases.
They work independently so can be used on ANY WordPress Theme (Thrive Optimize is dependent on Thrive Architect though).
Thrive Architect has numerous ​page builder elements, many in common with other page builders like Divi Builder, Elementor Pro and Beaver Builder BUT Thrive Architect also includes Star Ratings, Click to Tweet, Data Tables and Disqus comments embedded anywhere in your content.
Thrive Architect also includes over ​240 landing page templates that you can use for reviews or to promote products.
​Numerous Integrations for multiple email marketing platforms include Active Campaign, ConvertKit, GetResponse, AWeber, I​nfusionSoft, Mailchimp, & Ontraport and many more.
Customize your Responsive design on Mobile, Tablet and Desktop with ease.
​Thrive ​Leads ​is the perfect tool for growing your email list ​whether it is selling other people’s products as an affiliate marketer or ​increasing traffic and making money through ad revenue. Thrive Leads is best suited to affiliate marketers than other similar plugins as it focuses on conversions and not just functionality.
​Designed Lean & Clean to ensure your page loading time is not impacted.
​Thrive ​Clever Widgets is one of my personal favorites. It gives you full control of the content you display in your widget areas (ie Sidebars/Footer etc). As an affiliate marketer it means you can pinpoint your content & banners to specific categories, posts or pages that best meet your audience’s needs.
Easily determine which pages, posts, categories, tags you want to target. Perfect for Affiliate marketers.

​​Thrive Comments was a plugin that did not strike my attention at first. I was using Disqus and was happy doing so until curiousity got the better of me and I bought the plugin. I have since upgraded to a 5 site license as I am that impressed with the functionalities of ​​Thrive Comments.
Badge System: Add badges for commenting achievements to gamify and encourage site interaction.
Enable visitors to up-vote and/or down-vote comments, or disable voting altogether.
Display Featured Comments to feature the best comments at the top.
Post From Social Accounts: Users can instantly comment from their linked social accounts.
Users can share individual comments from your posts on Facebook, Twitter or by URL.
Best of all, choose What Happens After A Comment​ whether it be to display a custom message​, Redirect to a URL​, Ask for a Social Share​, display Similar posts​ or Open a Lightbox.
Thrive Optimise goes hand in hand with Thrive Architect ​and for that very reason, Thrive Themes has bundled the two together as an option. You can still use Thrive Optimize independently if you choose.
​Has an Automatic Winner feature that can be set to automatically determine the best landing page design.
Dynamic Redirect Links: Send a single link that automatically redirects visitors to ​a sales page, a “coming soon” page or a “sorry, expired!” page.
Building Quizzes on a website used to require a degree in computer science – no, not really, but certainly felt like it. Thrive Quiz Builder makes it super easy and we are not talking basic Q& A quizzes but highly intuitive ‘if user answers with this’ then ‘you do that’ type quizzes. For affiliate marketing it is a great way to engage your visitor and not only break down that initial trust wall but also learn early-on how to best target your visitor and meet their specific needs. My rating of four is a bit harsh and based on the fact that I have used it less than the other plugins for affiliate marketing.
