Don’t rely solely on tools

I have been into affiliate marketing for the past 7 months and currently working on multiple websites.

My quick win is to consider keyword research as the most basic part. Google considers relevancy as the most important factor. When you are starting a new website, instead of focusing on high-volume keywords write articles for the keywords with low volume. I do consider zero volume keywords as well. Do Tik Tok and Instagrams shoutouts at the start instead of getting links.

What I usually consider while choosing a keyword is as following

– Volume
– All in title
– Domain Age
– Backlinks
– No of small website ranking
– No of all in title small websites ranking in top 10
– No of potential keywords ranking for that long-tail keywords

If the allintitle for any keywords is below 100 and it is somehow fulfilling most of my criteria then I would recommend moving ahead with that keywords. This helps to get out of the sandbox very quickly. I usually prefer to write pillar category articles before writing long-tail keyword articles. Pillar articles will surely have a high volume and there is a very limited chance of ranking on it but if we publish it at the start and structure our complete content according to that. It will help to create a topical relevancy map in the best possible way.

Play with the keywords and do check them manually instead of just depending on the tools. Sometimes a keyword with zero volume gives good traffic.

Don’t just go after products that have an affiliate program, go after products that don’t have an affiliate program – especially the ones with high search volume. These normally have very little competition and are easy to rank.

You then write a review and recommend an alternative product as either the better product or the cheaper alternative that HAS an affiliate program. This also works great if you can promote the alternative product with a coupon code to sweeten the deal.

I found recommending an alternative product that is either better or just as good and cheaper convert extremely well.

Never rubbish a company or product the ideal way is to find alternative products that ARE actually better or cheaper.

I’ve personally made well over 100k following this method and still do to this day.

Here are some tatics i have been following for my affiliate sites.

#1. Always cover a micro niche first to build a strong topical relevancy.

#2. Do proper interlinking, reverse silo is best for micro niches as iam getting results.

#3. UX/UI should be neat, over desiging will not only slow down your pages but also will consume your time. It should ne minimalist with some top picks and comaprison tables.

#4. Please select a good hosting, WPX is best for those who can afford otherwise there are various options for beginners like site ground, hostinger. Blue host etc.

#5. Now your content is somehow covered your next step is to fix technical issue. Like speed optimizarion, indexing etc. You can use ahref audit tool for that. Gt matrix, page insight etc.

#6. After 2 months build its social presence by creating social profiles, also make some citation to build trust.

#7. Once you got a small amount of traffic start email outreach (guest post). Make sure to analyze the blog first with the ahref before getting a link. I got a spammy link from a blog that ranks on some crapply codes like (00pp3330034) be aware of that.

#8. Dont go for niche edits first try to get guestposts, i had really nad experience with niche edits. Currently i have made a ratio of guest post and niche edits 9:1.

Have a plan in place and figure out what you can and can’t achieve. It’s very easy to get excited by the idea of affiliate marketing and the potential in it. Especially when you hear people saying you can earn thousands per month, its true, you can but it doesn’t come as easy as it sounds.

Be prepared to work hard, to test everything you do, document it, track what is working and what isn’t.

If you are going to invest in an aged domain, check it out, see what is around, what was on the domain before.

Check out your competition and make a content plan.

Matt Diggity has hundreds of sources of information on methods him and his team have tested.

Dont get overwhelmed or swept away by hundreds of different tutors, stick with a handful to take nuggets from then apply it to your business. again, test everything.

My most important piece of advice would be to be patient, this does not happen instantly, as much as you see I went from $1 to 1 million in 3 months, don’t be fooled or disheartened if that doesn’t happen to you.

Keep going, make your own story and enjoy what you do. It will be hard but it will pay off eventually.

No good success story you hear was easy the whole way through. Go through your journey, ride the ups and down and make something successful of yourself.

Use a misspelled domain to gain on others behalf. (backlinks) Example that skyrocketed this year: https://inkedin.com/

Do One-off brand partnerships with a brand’s product that you promote on one of your articles.

This applies to Amazon Associates products/brands but it could be done on other affiliate programs as well as long as they have the option to give provide a separate affiliate id tag.

You promote their product throughout your site (where relevant) with a unique affiliate tag from Amazon Associates.
End of each month you generate a report for the affiliate tag.
You can negotiate with the brand an additional (let’s say) 20% commissions for any sales generated for their product.
The additional commissions are paid out via Paypal.

You still send people to Amazon thus obtaining the high conversion rate benefits, but also receive a high payout if the product sells. That’s the catch – make sure to pick up a high converting product that will sell. In the end, you receive a 23% commission for selling their product (3% from Amazon, and 20% from them).

It’s a win-win because they get to secure top positions within your content, and they get a boost in the Amazon algorithm for their product.

In short:

1.Analyze your Amazon Associate orders for your site
2.Pick the high-value products that you are selling a significant amount of
3.Find the brand’s email or contact form
4.Reach out with an offer to explain the pros of this arrangement. Make sure to say that they only pay if sales are generated; this is not fixed monthly advertising.
5.Enjoy a higher payout!

I typed product + review and affiliate website + review then look at those independent revie sites eg sitejabber.com or trustpilot.com . Then i use VPN to create multiple email accounts and post reviews on such sites over a period of time and from time to time. I also use different facebook profiles and join same related groups so that each of these accounts post favourable comments promoting the affiliate websites or products from time to time.
I also use Keyword Everywhere , MOZ plugin to rank blogs, fanpages and Youtube videos ( which are easier to rank since they have high Domain Authority). I use google properties eg Google Site . Google Sheet, Google Slide, Google Event, facebook,tumblr, to create silos to rank blogs. youtube videos, fanpages.
I have done this for a competitive but small niche 3 years ago and have been making money since then

Aggregating content is an easy way to create new (meta) content. Doing it in an authentic and honest way creates trust. Sharing it with communities and refining it based on their feedback creates lasting value and advocates.

A practical example might be wanting to create content about stocks. Subreddits like /r/WallStreetBets have become massive – analyzing and publishing data about it attracts attention. You could use pushshift.io to freely scrape content. You could run it through various analysis tools like Google’s Cloud Natural Language API, specifically the Analyzing Entity Sentiment endpoint and find out what companies/stocks people are saying favorable things about. Wrap it up nicely into a website to automatically update. Generate daily/weekly/monthly pages/infographics. Create profile pages for every company with prices, trends, etc. Throw in affiliate links for brokerages and other products people would use to trade these assets.

Voila. An automated content site generating updated, fresh content ready to promote and it’s something people naturally want to link to and check again. You can setup affiliate deals on the products or for things in the ecosystem that you provide data about. For a developer, this could be built in a couple days, for a non developer, probably a week or two outsourcing it somewhere like Upwork to build a working prototype.

As a affiliate marketer / content marketer, I have seen alot of new people getting into this business focusing on the wrong stuff that will not make them money and is a huge waste of time. Biggest tip : If you are not a website designer and selling your services of your website do not spend more than 2 hours designing your website put a wordpress theme and start making content. 2nd tip: Stop worrying about stupid seo tools/wordpress plugins and other saas products that do not help you make money. I have seen alot of people collecting Life time deals SaaS products instead of using them. If they took all the time and money they spend on the SaaS products they would already have a website with 100 posts that would have bring in traffic. 3rd Tip: Back links are important but not as important of having more posts to bring in more traffic most back linking strategies are just spam links anyway waiting to get penalized by google, instead of paying people for backlinks that are worthless, create more post and reach out to people yourself who have authority in that space with the amount of post you have they would see you are serious in this niche and may give you a chance to interview them or network with them.

I know that this might be a bit left of field, but I think one of the biggest keys to becoming a decent affiliate marketer is learning to develop resilience and persistence.

This can be a tough gig. The deeper you dive into it and the longer you stay in it, you realise it becomes less of a game of ‘who’s the best’ and more of a ‘who’s left’.

If you aren’t scheduling time away from the computer to work on yourself as diligently as you might schedule your content, you’ll hit a wall at some point that will leave you burnt out, frustrated and likely ready to pack it all in and walk away.

This isn’t to say you just need to meditate all day and everything will work itself out – you need to put the work in, but you definitely need to prioritise your mental and physical health to make sure there is someone left to actually do the work.

If you can get this balance right and find the sweet spot, then you’re well on the way to the elusive lifestyle that most people grinding a 9-5 can only dream of.

Tap into everyone’s lazy side.

I have a DIY and craft blog. People visit with the best of intentions of wanting to be creative and with lots of Do-It-Yourself energy (that’s what they have searched for to have found me). I show them exactly how to do/create the project themselves. I get them all riled up about how cute and pretty and good it looks and would look in their own homes.
And then they see all those steps…
And I say. Well if you don’t want to DIY this project, then ‘here’ you can find similar items all ready-made.
And that’s when they go off and buy whatever it is I have made them crave to have, but they are too lazy to make themselves.

Hi Sir. I hope you are Alright i am your Regular Follower from last 5 years . I have seen almost all your posts and videos.

Pay attention to new brands in your niche that are running Facebook ads. Then check those ads’ comments, likes, and engagement. If you like what you see, and they are truly a new brand in your niche, write a review of the brand and cover all the vs articles on their competitors. Chances are you’ll be the first one on them, and, if the company is running Facebook ads, the next place people are going is google to search if the brand / product is any good. That’s where you come in! I hope this helps someone out there because it’s helped me make a lot of money and continues to do so.

The backend.

Most People focus on making the sale directly on their affiliate site. But when the sale is made you lose that customer forever.

Find a way to collect the e-mail before you send them to the affiliate offer. Now you can market to the forever and cash in again and again.

Get started with email marketing as soon as possible. Use a simple email opt in pop up on your affiliate sites with a free ebook that your users would be interested in. You can then create an email flow that sends them around 10 emails over the next 60 days. This flow can promote affiliate offers but also send traffic to new posts or your most valuable articles. Having an email list will protect you against algorithm updates, improve your monetization, but also help to improve the overall valuation of your website if you are looking to sell it.

Best advice: “ Turn your competitors into partners. ”

Create Linkable Assets from Day One with High Topical Relevancy (Links + Content)

Focus on the right kind of links for the right kind of content. Content and links should go together and this should be your strategy from day 1. Never make the mistake of starting link building very late. The moment you have published your #1 post, you should start building links.

Add to your most important (pillar) pages a video (through YT plugin), a structured data and a table of contents. Your pages will boost automatically !

Do the work to become an expert in the area you want to market. Do the research and write an article every day for at least a year.

My best advice for an affiliate site is to stop concentrating solely on getting clicks through to your money pages and to start making the most out of your top of the funnel visitors.

Free niche-specific calculators or tools are a great way to help visitors make an informed decision before they make a purchase through one of your affiliate links. Plus, the search volume for these calculators is often extremely high and the competition is surprisingly low since the search intent is more informational than transactional.

For example, in the heating industry a ‘BTU calculator’ tells you how many radiators your room needs to heat it efficiently. This is based on several factors such as the size of your room, the number of windows, the insulation type etc…

Once your visitors have calculated the exact number of radiators required you can then recommend your ‘best’ articles right underneath the calculator based on their results.

Just like this:

“Based on your room specifications, you will require 2 horizontal radiators – check out our recommended horizontal radiators HERE”

Visitors seamlessley progress through from your TOFU pages to your BOFU pages without hesitation.

Take this a step further by monetizing your calculator pages with ads to really make the most of this TOFU traffic.

If you’re just starting an affiliate website with a fresh domain, you’ve got to earn the trust of Google and readers. This means that any content you publish early on will likely not even rank for a long time. You need to build up your website’s authority and the best way to do that is through digital PR. Come up with an interesting set of questions to ask your target audience, and then run an original survey using Google surveys,. It only costs several hundred. Display the results in a cool infographic on your site, and then reach out to journalists in your niche to let them know about your findings. Journalists are always hungry for topics to cover — they can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with! Many will end up writing an article covering your results and also usually provide you with some nice follow backlinks. This helps build your DR very quickly. You can also create an “as seen on” banner on your site showing the different places you’ve been mentioned on, which adds another layer of credibility.

Switch from Amazon Affiliates to programs that pay decent commission and actually care about affiliates.

My best advice for affiliate marketing is to reverse engineer successful websites.

Doing so will uncover dozens of opportunities you’ve likely never considered.

There are two different objectives in reverse engineering websites depending on your current stage in affiliate marketing. The first objective relates to finding a profitable niche. The second relates to conquering your niche.

To uncover extremely profitable (high RPM) niches:

1. Visit website broker sites like EmpireFlippers, Motion Invest, and Flippa.
2. Since Motion Invest and Flippa share earnings, traffic, and the URL (in most cases), you can calculate the RPM of any site listed. RPM can be found by dividing the monthly earnings by monthly traffic, and then multiplying that figure by 1000. For reference, $80 is a fairly typical RPM. If you find sites with an RPM in the $1,000+ range, those are highly profitable niches as each visit equals $1.
EmpireFlippers does not share the URL, but they do share earnings and traffic. Oftentimes you won’t be able to find high RPM sites on Flippa and Motion Invest, but you will on EmpireFlippers. In fact, there was a listing on EmpireFlippers I found for a portfolio of sites with an RPM of $6,000. When you find a listing like that, you have to turn on your internet sleuthing skills to figure out the exact niche. I was able to do so after about an hour of digging. The process will look different for every listing. You have to be 1) very creative; and 2) know what tools to use. The creativity part cannot be taught. EmpireFlippers gave a general description of the niche, which I was familiar enough with to know what kind of keywords to use to begin my search. Once I found a suspect, I confirmed the traffic estimates with an SEO tool and it was similar enough to the estimated traffic EmpireFlippers gave. I then found all the things the site was promoting on various affiliate networks and checked the EPC. The EPC was high enough to support the $6,000 RPM. To further confirm, I plugged the site into host.io to check age and whether there were other sites associated with it. Luckily, there were several other sites hosted on the same IP in the same niche. Altogether, the estimated traffic for all the sites was consistent with the numbers on EmpireFlippers, given that SEO tools overestimate by a healthy percentage.
3. Another, perhaps more simple method is to find high EPC products/services on affiliate networks. However, there are some independent companies that have extremely high EPCs that are not listed on any networks. For those, use your creativity. The best place to start is by thinking about things only businesses or high-net worth individuals would spend money on.

To conquer your niche:

1. Find all your competitors. If you’re in a super broad niche, find the ones that rank for your keywords.
2. Plug them into several SEO tools to find their top pages and keywords. Note those keywords down!
3. Go to their sitemaps (just type /sitemap.xml after the domain) to find all the pages/posts on the site. This will give you an idea of how thoroughly they cover a topic. If it’s extremely thorough, this might indicate that in order to outrank them you will need to also be extremely thorough. If there is little related content on the site, that will indicate that the topic can easily be conquered if you give it more focus than your competitors.
4. Find their relevant backlinks and see if you can figure out how they got them. For example, in some cases, they may have links from industry associations that charge to link placements.
4. After going through these steps for all of your competitors, you will have a very solid idea of what it takes to rank in your niche. Now, you just have to do what your competitors are doing, but better. That means:
– Creating more engaging, thorough, concise, data-driven content;
– Targeting all the main and ancillary keywords in your niche (based on keyword research and the pages/posts on your competitors’ sites;
– Following all the SEO best practices (proper on-page, off-page, and technical SEO, speed, good UX, etc.).
If you do all that, you will discover dozens of opportunities and will almost definitely conquer your niche.

As Our five judge preaches “do all the things” this mainly pertains to the growing visibility of the website or offer pages.

My unique spin to this tried and tested tactic is “do all the things” with a wider lense. Do your SEO, run some paid ads, display ads of your own and Facebook ads with some Pinno ads thrown in for good measure. The sky is the limit.

The more things you have in motion the momentum builds, by adding one extra channel to your marketing you increase the commission opportunity.

Test the waters. Often the things people don’t normally do is because it’s either too hard or no ones flogging it as a course because it’s worth doing. Doing TikTok’s for your new review video might sound crazy but it pays off to test it out.

Doing all the things as a marketer helps you increase your total audience potential, increase your earnings potential and levels you and your team up with every new channel you add to your arsenal.

Do all the things.

I would go for content pruning. Since we’re talking about quick wins I’d narrow it down to the top 3 pieces of content, check for cannibalization issues, possible long tail KW’s that could fit in there, check internal linking to that pages and use Surfer SEO for content improvements. Last step is to get some links from authority builders and watch the traffic go up!

Your product is trust. Stay knowledgeable and understand your clients needs. There are no shortcuts.

When promoting a product. Make sure that you have experience with the product. This way you can tailor the product to make it relatable based on your experience. Find ways that you can add value to your potential prospect.
For example: your potential prospect starts using WPX. You can provide a video with a step by step guide on how they can build their website in WordPress.

The only way to be successful with affiliate marketing is to provide TRUE VALUE to your audience/visitors/followers.

This is kind of a secret move to rank – but super easy and you hit the top spot super quick with a YouTube virtual silo that starts with a blog entry. You find a good keyword with 500+ traffic (difficulty doesn’t matter, but the lower, the quicker result) – research on Google and on Youtube (or a tool for your word) – then write a blog article, transcribe to video. (use same meta and title on blog and Youtube) – link from your blog to the video and vice versa using the word and Boom! (had this work in less than 8 hours) – Give it a shot! Love ya! >>> at the bottom of YouTube and the CTA of the blog is where you put your Call to Action. Profits will roll and you don’t even need bonuses!

This one’s for Amazon affiliates. Check your past monthly reports and identify which items you’re driving sales for most.

Reach out to these companies or competitors with this data on hand. Ask them for a private commission deal on top of Amazon’s for continued and further promotion on your site. This is a great way to make more money with the same amount of traffic.

Look into the profit margins for that type of product and don’t be afraid to ask for a lot!

Create “Best Of” series of articles or “Buying Guides” on your blog, for example: Best Minimalist Wallets for Men. And include an “Explain Your Process” box at the start of the guide. This will list out in detail the specific process used in the creation of the post. Steps taken to be fair, what wallets were included and why. It helps to actually have hands-on experience with each item included in the round-up.

For affiliate marketing campaigns we should focus on the bottom stages of the sales funnel – “problem aware” and “solution aware”, since they are the only steps where people actually start buying and we start earning commissions.

Look into “how to do ***” searches to determine what people want to do, and think which product might do this job for them.

Then market this product to them as a solution to their job to be done.

Non-English markets > English Markets

While most of the affiliates focus on the US many are making a killing in other Geos like the larger Europeans countries. That’s also the core of my business.

Often, it’s enough to build up a site to DR 35 or so and just publish content which nails search-intent – without any additional promotion.

Just get the basics right (On-Page, Hosting / Tech, KWR) and execute on content. It’s as simple as that.

Obviously, the market size is a downside. Eventually, you’ll need to go international or just pick a broader niche to start with.

To be a successful Affiliate Marketer, you have to be active on social media, have followers that can buy the products you are selling. Be ready to engage with people and answer questions, and also know the product you are marketing. Don’t just post a link and wait for luck to be on your side and hope for people to buy through your link. You have to be committed and work hard. Do some videos about the products and convince your followers why they need to buy what you are promoting. Assure them you are legit as there are a lot of scams and some people don’t trust online buying. Your profile should not be new as it poses as a scam. And also, buy first at that website, so you can know how it works. Don’t just post links you never tried or you are not sure of, for the sake of making money.

1. Embrace a niche you know you will never lose interest in.
2. Always create content from the place of being your own audience.
3. Protect your credibility.
4. Realize that money is only an outcome of your genuine intent to add value to your audience/visitors. Nothing more.
5. Promote physical/digital products that you have used/would buy and use yourself.
6. Advertise consistently.
7. Keep looking for new opportunities.
8. Interpret data with a creative mind.
9. Have an ongoing agenda to keep planning, testing and improving.
10. Understand what gave you the results you desired. And investigate why and how you got those you didn’t.
11. Do scale. But not like a whale.
12. Always remember that: “Rome was not built in a day.”

When building an affiliate website the hardest part is to accumulate cash quickly to accelerate content and backlinks to build a long-term sustainable business. Waiting for months can be quite painful so there is a way to generate affiliate money to support your upcoming affiliate business.

How to get some quick affiliate money quick upfront.

1. Look for a high ticket affiliate program that is optimally related to your niche (or in the make money online niche) that pays multiple hundred dollars commission per sale.
2. Build a social media profile on your preferred portal (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram etc.)
3. Build trust and authority by providing helpful answers to all kinds of niche-related queries, post helpful expertise in related groups.
4. People will reach out to you when you’re active, you can also do some outreach yourself to build connections quicker, start conversations with your new friends.
5. Offer free consulting, within your social media profile and your conversations.
6. Find pain points in the consulting and frame your high ticket affiliate program as the solution. Give your personal support as a bonus when people buy your high ticket program and sell it.
7. Invest the profit into your affiliate niche site to build traffic and solidity your cash flow. 2-4 sales should make enough to cover the cost for one month of content.
8. (optional) Build a group that equals an email list on social media for your high ticket offer and personal support.
9. Use testimonials of your free consulting sessions as social proof to increase your sales.
10. Repeat

1. Build Landing Page
2. Relate Keywords
3. Buy Traffics

100% patience patience patience….

Do not try to run before you can walk-

A mistake many beginner affiliate marketers make including myself. Everyone who gets into affiliate marketing instantly wants to target the big money.
They will write articles that target high ticket and high competition products in the form of “10 best” articles. This technique will get you killed in the SERP on a new website/blog.
Instead, the way to get started is to start with low competition, informational posts with natural affiliate links where appropriate. This may not lead to lots of affiliate sales early on but what it does achieve is a flow of traffic and helps you to build an authority in the niche.
Once you have this you will find that you can start to target the higher ticket items and go heavier onto affiliate marketing.

Keeping up with a site consistently is the best way to succeed at affiliate marketing. Provide value to the reader with original content. Do not use any AI writing tools for writing purposes. Make your readers aware that you do profit when they buy from your link. In addition to Amazon, make use of other affiliate platforms. Amazon is not the only affiliate platform you can use.

Hi WPX Fam + Matt!

My #1 quick-win/tip is really focused on the brand builders and how I go about kickstarting any of my new brands with a social exposure strategy.

This isn’t your traditional setup Hootsuite and invite your friends and family bullshit. This is about looking through your niche for MULTIPLE Facebook pages + Pinterest pages to acquire before you’ve even begun writing your first piece of content.

For example, I recently started a new brand in the Food/Recipes space and am extremely excited about the traction we are seeing from this strategy. We bought the old brand and domain name and started immediately looking for fan pages that could be a great fit.

We shortlisted a handful of FB pages by looking for:

1. Engagement – Total % of fans engaged in comparison to total likes on x-number of posts
2. Volume of posting
3. Type of content we would share (videos? Memes? Guides? Links to Web Content?)
4. % of total followers from Tier 1-2 Countries (mainly English speaking and Europe).

We shortlisted a handful of Pinterest pages by looking for:
1. Total growth of the account
2. Relevancy of posts/board families
3. Follower count and engagement

From there, we would reach out to the admins of the pages and ask about a possible partnership in the future, and set the first meeting. Typically, each of the page owners has a “price” for posting and shares… Walk them down this path and then just ask what would you want for this page or brand? You’d be surprised how much a 100k+ fan page on FB costs when you’re talking to somebody who isn’t monetizing their content or pages.

For this brand, I had the pleasure of buying a 150k follower FB page with a 16-20% organic engagement metric before we hit publish on our first piece of content. The price was $2,500 and GUESS WHAT? I can post affiliate links in our viral memes, recipes, etc.

You can buy them significantly cheaper when they are smaller also 😉

Almost every FB brand has a Pinterest account that has been slowly building. Most of the owners will throw those in as well at no additional cost or something small.

I prefer to keep the fan pages brands “separate”, but in the family. So, I will rebrand something like (Fan Page Name – a (insert new website brand partner). Something along those lines to show the relationship, but focus on not distracting the existing fan base.

The benefits are enormous, you’re now done with fake social signals and have a blueprint to what type of content/images ALREADY resonate with your audience. You have now added an ASSET to your website that will only help increase the total acquisition price. Hone in and scale those efforts over and over again… And when you REALLY want something to go viral you now have an exposure engine built and ready for you to fly! Imagine what you could do if you had 5-10 of these social engines ready to share your content with hundreds of thousands of combined followers?

Here is just some love from September screenshotted below for just ONE of my FB pages we bought this summer for our new food/recipes brand.

As a beginner with minimal resources, start with a micro niche and write content to build topical authority on that niche.

Stay focus and consistent!

I want to win the contest because I want to learn affiliate marketing with matt diggity course affiliate lab he is the God of seo and this is my dream to learn seo with matt but i have no money to buy the course but I have chance to win contest and learn from matt course I don’t want to win 5000 usd I want to win affiliate lab that’s it thanks

I use some affiliate sites which target international traffic to also rank in local areas. Don’t sleep on this!

Most local service companies aren’t creating this type of content as they think everyone lives on social media so competition is minimal. Not only do you increase ad-revenue with additional content but it opens the gates for local lead generation.

Just this afternoon I had a local rental business owner reach out to me ready to spend on advertising to help him scale up his newly-formed business. I’m holding the bulk of traffic for his #1 keyword and he knows it,

If my monthly lead flow proposal closes, my website valuation goes up $7,000. Plus I’m now not just dependent on display ads and affiliate revenue thereby increasing my exit multiple.

understand what visitors want , and give it to them and they will give you what you want , try to khow they thinking and imagine yourself in their place

This advice doesn’t only apply to affiliate marketing but maybe any kind of business let it be online or offline.

You can either be smart and creative, which is not easy, or you can stop reinventing the wheel and choose an undeserved niche and start working on it.

Stop thinking too much, don’t overdo anything, don’t focus on design and styling, don’t overthink the backlinking process, the most important thing at the beginning is to write a lot of high quality content that people can’t find anywhere else on the web.

So here’s my too advice, whatever you do, keep doing it for a long time, don’t quit too soon, believe me it’ll all pay off eventually, you just need to get started as soon as possible and keep working.

How much time this keyword would take to rank in google? Would you believe I started to earn from the 5th day after posts about this keyword?

When we talk about affiliate marketing we think of making blogs, content, and promoting affiliate products thinking google will find us and rank our website at the top.

If we decided to rank a kw Best Fish oil supplements on websites we need to do a hell of a lot of work.

I am lazy so I prefer youtube videos. Youtube is so much power that you may think for affiliate content.

If you search for the keyword Best Fish oil supplements on youtube there are only 2-3 videos that are fulfilling search intent.

Among 2-3 videos one of them is mine. and that video started to earn from the 5th day of upload.

If I try to rank Best Fish oil supplements in google that will take lots of time but on youtube, there are lots of keywords that are very competitive for ranking in google but easy on youtube.

You just need a good ai sound, product slides, and stunning scripts you can start from tomorrow.

you don’t need to build links, you don’t need to spend on content for a site that has no guarantee of ranking.

Here is my advice for affiliate marketing on youtube:
-when doing youtube you do not need to have topical relevancy.
– No need to invest informational content because others will do it for you.Eg: There are only 2-3 videos for the best Fish oil supplements but there are lots of videos related to Fish oil so if you make a good thumbnail there is a chance of getting a suggested in youtube suggestion of that informational videos where people just know about oil from other videos but if your videos get suggested you will get a buyer intent viewers from other videos.
– Because the future is video content.

This Tip has helped me increase my affiliate earnings by 30% on informational type of articles.

Indeed, unlike commercial articles where I places dozens of affiliate links, I usually place One Afiiliate link in informational articles (Maximum 2 if the article is very long)

The challenge here is to maximize the chances of the the reader to click on the affiliate link.

How I do it?

Within the 3rd or 4th paragraph I mention the Most Helpful and Unique Tip in a sentence or 2 short sentences highlighted in a unique color (mostly in a BlockQuote). Chances are, the reader has seen this uniquely formatted text and has appreciated the shared Tip.

Then, 4 or 5 paragraphs later, I use the same format, where I simply recommend the related product in an affiliated link. The reader is pretty still emotionally conditioned that such a format would bring something valuable for him which ends by him clicking the affiliate link.

This is a little bit of manipulation, but of course, you can use it for Good (by recommending legit helpful products) or for bad (by recommending products to make the most money even with little value for the reader)

Hope that was helpful.

Double Up on both baclincks and content , use topical authority to set entities of a broad topic son you can rank and compete with giants

-Treat like a business not a affiliate website
-Make a brand not a money website that will hit by next update.
-Don’t rely only on google search, Keywords that need 3-4 months to rank in google can earn from first day of upload in youtube because of youtube suggestion feature. Also competition for affiliate kw in youtube is low.
-Find niche that has lots of micro topics and possibility of scale up in future. Like niche Lens where there are microtopics but if you want to scale up there are possibilities like adding niche like binocular, telescope, camera, microscope and more…

We must first do research.Which platform should we choose for our affiliate marketing?Write a good article about what we find after researching.Then you have to do a good Seo of our article.So that our article will be ranked on the first page of Google.

Passion & Patience

—Private sponsorship deals with YouTubers—

Concept: To give your site a spark, outreach to YouTubers and pay them to mention your website in their video (you want to establish private deals, not YT ads).  Many YouTubers are not used to being offered deals and will work with you for cheap.

Results: I’ve seen a 5x higher conversion rate from warm YT referrals versus organic traffic or paid ads.  Also, an incredibly high, 50% response rate from cold email outreach to YouTubers.  As an added bonus, some of those people became my writers, expert sources, and industry friends. 

Approach:  
-Make a shortlist of target channels with enough volume to make it worthwhile. You can start with 5-10 since the response rate is so good. I also like to sponsor a series of videos.
-Get their email addresses from their YT About page, or if needed, go to their website’s contact page
-Send a teaser email with the goal to arrange a call to negotiate details
-Agree on a rate and format of the sponsorship (what key items they should mention in their own words and a link at the top of the description).
-Enjoy cheap, high converting traffic!

Start with a low competition sub niche that can easily be scaled with informational content by building topical authority.

For the first 50 articles, keep a 60 40 ratio. 60% information articles and 40% money intent articles. In a sub niche 50 articles will be more then enough to take you out of googles sand box phase and build topical authority.

This is a short and sweet processs that is working for me.

sponsored content + affiliate marketing + SEO Link Building = Success $$$

1. Sponsored Content

Look for large media sites that get picked up in Google News with high Domain Authority.

Sites like this can charge from a few hundred per post to a few thousand.

Such as Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/topic/sponsored-article

2. Affiliate Marketing

Now write amazing authority topical content and listicles to cross link your sponsored posts to build the sites authority on your topic. Mix up cool stats, skyscraper to powerful listicles that stand out.

Pop in your high paying affiliate links

3. SEO Link Building

Try to ensure the sponsored content post can be cross linked on the site. If not you’ll need to purchase in large batches to cross link.

Then share the content on social media and build the links back to your sponsored content

Now your on your way to payday!

Take suggestions from real users/buyers of your niche. Example: If you are starting a pet website on Horses, ask your friends who have horses. Ask them what products they buy online.
Take those products as seed keywords and start your KW research. Try to find question type KW around those KWs. While searching, you will find some sites that have low DA/DR and still ranking.
Run them through Ahrefs competing domains, you will find more sites of similar type.
Now run them through Ahrefs site explorer and find out the top KWs. Get them in a google sheet. Find out the duplicate KWs and get rid of them.
Go the extra mile and search each of them. Mark the KWs that has the similar SERP result and cluster them. If possible use Keyword Cupid for the clustering.
Now you know which KW to target for each post you will create. You will also know how to interlink them.
Create an outline for each post and start publishing content as much as you can. Make sure your introduction of the post is on point. Keep in mind the buyers’ journey. Example: for review content, DO NOT try to educate them on what the product is or what it is for.
After 2 months see how they are performing from Google Search Console. You will find some new KW you haven’t targeted. Start optimizing your content with the queries that have the highest impressions.
When your posts start showing up on the 1st page of Google, create some backlinks for those pages.
After your posts start showing up in the top 3 positions do some CTR optimisation.
And, That’s All !

As a musician, I became an affiliate marketer by accident.

Back in 2013, I was building a home recording studio. If you know someone who recently built interest in something, you can be quite sure – he will be spending lots of time researching and buying stuff.

I was no different. When I bought studio gear (quite often), I wanted to make sure I made the right purchase. So I would search for reviews, to see the product and confirm my biases – before I made the purchase.

Then the funniest thing happened. With all the gear I had, I started shooting unboxing and review videos for fun. But it wasn’t until a few years later when I started placing affiliate links when I started seeing conversions.

What I’ve learned is that not all product reviews will bring you conversions.

First, find products that people already want. Head to Amazon.com, sort the best-selling products in your niche. Buy or loan these products.

Then shoot a video review. It doesn’t have to be super professional. Most buyers are looking for affirmation for their buying decision. They tend to trust down-to-earth videos more than professional scripted videos. (Eventually, you’ll become an ‘influencer’. People will start asking about the camera you use, software you use, hosting you use, etc. Those are affiliate opportunities.)

Publish the video review on YouTube. For that extra SEO juice, create a blog post and embed the video on the blog post.

Repeat this for 10-20 best-selling products. Enjoy the affiliate sale conversions.

My advice and what has worked for me overtime stems from being as “niche specific” as possible.

When getting started with an affiliate site and one doesn’t have a very large budget to compete with big brands or sites, one way to get around it is by being as “niche specific as possible”.

If one chooses a niche and narrows it down, then the next step is to become an authority in that space.

Make your affiliate site not just a landing page for products or sales pages, create lots content around your niche.

Quality and top notch content, enough for Google to recognise that this site has to be an authority in this space and definitely the best option for everything related to this topic.

When publishing content, use the first-movers advantage and put in the effort to publish new stuffs, data based research publications and fresh content, not just rewriting and sharing information that’s already out there over and over again.

Make lots of research, cite your sources and if possible, get a qualified professional to be the face behind your brand.

Your link building efforts should also kick off when you’ve got roughly 5 great pieces of content worth link to.

Soon as the links start coming, make sure you’re properly interlinked so the juice keeps flowing.

It’s gonna take time but it’s worth the wait because when it’s all set and done, you’re sure of getting the right type of audience.

“Targeted Audience” with a very high “Purchasing or conversion intent” and the leads and sales would be on auto-pilot.

And one more thing, go for a neutral domain is preferable than a topic specific domain most times.

The option to diversify as your grow your site would always be available to you and that’s it from me ?

PS: Used these strategies in the CBD niche and became an authority in a country I targeted ?

Create a website or blog so you can have an audience and understand your audience. Have daily offers for the audience. Facebook groups and emails grows your audience. Let your audience know that you’re using affiliate links.

A/B test your affiliate URLs if an offer/campaign is running in multiple networks. It can make all the difference.

Using all social media platforms available, using unique sounds, colours and images. Keep it short and sweet use attractive wording which will remind client long after seeing an advertisement. Use live recordings/examples on all social media accounts have the client attracted to the sounds you used for a reminder looong after ending the video. Be consistent without the client notices you are consistent.

*Brand mentions for links*

Let’s say your affiliate site is about dog houses. You’ve got your affiliate partnerships in place and everything’s fine. But don’t forget about other sellers, manufacturers and businesses in this area. Because they seek exposure too.

Let’s suppose there are three manufacturers that sell hand crafted, beautiful dog houses. You could reach out to them and offer to promote their product in an article on your site. You can use a supporting article on your site that isn’t too important to you. Then you implement a unique image and mention the brand *without a link*. That way people will Google the brand, which is good for them. All you ask for in return is a link from the manufacturers website, blog, etc.

To conclude, you get a link from a highly relevant and probably aged domain for free. Plus your content will be richer give readers a better overview about the market of dog houses.

Some affiliate marketing ideas:

#1 – Content – Create unique content – duh. But do you know what unique content is? It’s an article, yes. It’s also an image (screenshots, images edited with Photoshop, created with Canva, or anything in between), videos (screen recordings, you on screen or not, as long as it’s unique), PDFs (yep, those are also content), music (why not?), video transcripts, podcasts… you name it, everything is content and Google loves content 🙂 The more content you have the more it gets indexed and the more traffic you can get.

#2 – Branding extravaganza – This can also go well under brand management, link building and all sorts of things – Open up social accounts with your website’s brand name on YouTube, Twitter, Medium, Quora, Blogspot, WordPress.com, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest so when I search your name I get the first 10 results on Google containing all web properties owned and managed by – YOU!

#3 – Topic ideas for your (sub)niche – Don’t know what to write about? Go where your customers are – join FB groups, find obscure forums (if they are not public for Google to index even better), read books on the subject, read comments below YT videos, search Quora, and subscribe on a ton of different email lists for that topic and READ every email, go to live events and… – listen, read, watch, scan, sort, copy, paste and write your articles based on all that info – but better, better structured and funnier (who doesn’t like jokes?).

#4 – Money makers – Give them an incentive to buy – example, ”If you buy this lawn mower you’ll get a free pdf/video with 10 unique lawn design ideas that will make all the single moms in your neighborhood come asking to mow their lawns (and connect later with a dating guide via aff link – JK 🙂

Another tip, cover the basics – Again let’s take lawnmowers – which type of mowers exist, which brand, price ranges, how are they powered, how long do they usually last, ease of usage, who are they for (easy to use for both men/women or not? is there a kid’s safe option?), where to get spare parts, how/where to fix them, different purposes of usage.. Things like that – with those things you raise up your credibility and present yourself (your website) as an authority on lawn mowers or middle-aged dads (hint: targeting, buyer personas!) and increase trust among your users.

#5 – Website design – I don’t care what they tell you, sure, ugly websites can convert as well, on mobile phones content is still the king, but the great looking website can boost your sales as well and give your brand a feeling (professional, hobbyist, etc.) something your readers can connect with. Connection = purchases made.

I don’t think there’s “one” best affiliate marketing hack out there, otherwise, we would all be using it. It’s a combination of things, mostly time, effort, and a lot of testing.

Do you want to know how to make money as an affiliate marketer? Get to work and don’t give up until you succeed, that’s how 🙂

Good luck everyone!

Ego baiting is an effective link building tactic that comes in many forms. Try emailing a bunch of sites in your niche, asking them to share their expertise by answering a single question in just a few sentences for a big “Q&A With the Experts” post. Offer reciprocal backlinks and watch the free outsourced content and backlinks roll in.

To win there are only 4 steps:
1. Research & Find easy & rankable keywords
2. Quality Content
3. Product research with variations of those products.
4. Good/Quality backlinks
= Passive income & flip websites through marketplace.

I custom print photos/images/logos to a wide range of products. Mugs, bags, placemats etc. You can see what I mean at http://www.gallantmedia.ca/shop

Instead of coming up with an ‘affiliate’ program (though that’s what it is), what I’ve done is reached out to wedding/lifestyle photographers. The photos they take are perfect for imprinting on many different products, plus they upsell these products to their clients/customers. The photographer increases their bottom line by offering a new revenue stream and I sell my printing/products without having to ‘sell’ them.

Get clients to pay for your backlink acquisition.

I have an agency side to my business, and those clients need backlinks. Therefore I’m on the hook to provide them with quality backlinks every month.

And guess what?! Every time I get a guest post, I’m looking to sneak a link into one of my websites as well.

I got this idea from a few small software and affiliate marketing companies who were acquiring DR 70+ backlinks for free because they were paid to do it by their link acquisition clients. Brilliant!

Don’t buy plug-ins just because an advice page you follow keeps recommending them. They push many things to earn commissions including plugins. They may not even use the plugin they keep recommending on their own site including the examples they keep showing you. Try any plugin to make sure it works on your website and is effective before paying for it. Most aren’t. This will save you hundreds of dollars.

Use copy.ai or Jarvis.ai to make product reviews for Amazon products. Type in the product details and URL if the product on Amazon. Click the button and let ai provide you with lots of product content in seconds. Copy and paste into a blog post, add your call to action (click here for the best price on Amazon) and add your affiliate link.

Use partial or exact match microsite domains to rank for high volume and relevant keywords with a free tool or service then funnel that traffic to affiliate offers.

For example, let’s say you’re promoting an image optimizer. You could create a domain like imageoptimizer.io and put the brand name as Image Optimizer. With a little bit of effort, you should rank near the top or in first place for that brand name.

In the website itself, you let people optimize one or two images a day. When they hit their limit, you refer them to your affiliate partner.

Conversely, you can refer them to your affiliate partner every time they download an optimized image. A simple popup will do the trick.

If only 1% of people decide to bite that’s a steady stream of affiliate revenue with little ongoing effort.

An example that has ranked for an exact match keyword (but they don’t optimize for affiliate revenue) is jpg2pdf.com.
https://www.freeimageconverter.com/
https://powerofattorney.com/
I can do this all day. I recommend digging into your niche and looking fir a high volume, high intent group of keywords and see what you can do.

Here are some tactics I use to drive quick affiliate sales.

#1. Keep an eye out for the latest products launching to the market, especially on product launch platforms such as Appsumo and affiliate marketplaces.
Reach out to the product owner to learn about the product roadmap.
If the actual product and its development plans look promising, buy it, experience it, write a review + tutorials and promote it on all possible channels before anyone else does.
As a result, when someone searches for more information about the products beyond what is provided on the product launch platform, your site will be visible to them. Most likely, you will gain some quick sales this way.

#2. Find popular websites ranking at the top of SERP for affiliate keywords with outdated content.
Create 10x valuable content understanding the search intent behind these keywords.
Even if you cannot beat these sites and rank below them, users will still visit your site to read fresh content, click your CTA, and ultimately you get some sales.

#3. Search for popular products in your niche with lots of legitimate complaints or negative reviews, but the company isn’t responding.
Use popular review platforms, forums, or online communities to find such complaints. E.g., Trustpilot, Glassdoor, Yelp, G2, Twitter, Facebook reviews, and GMB listing reviews.
Write comparison posts or “brand/product + alternatives” posts.
Describe the benefits of choosing your recommended products over the problematic product and provide visual proof, such as screenshots or videos illustrating the performance comparison and customer support experience.
Put your content in front of prospective customers, and you’ll see an instant increase in your affiliate sales.

#4. Many people are multi-lingual but prefer to create content exclusively in English.
Instead, they can create content in regional languages, particularly video content, to capture more audience and eventually affiliate sales.
In regions where English isn’t the only language of communication, the tactic is more effective. E.g., India

#5. Browse top Q&A sites, forums, and online communities to find the pain points of your target audience, provide the best solution through your answers, and add the relevant affiliate links.
For the best results, stick only to commercial queries and be consistent. Over time, you will receive more requests for answers, increasing your affiliate sales opportunities.

#6. Position yourself as a niche expert and make sure that you are visible on social media and other online locations.
Now participate in Facebook groups that include your target audience.
Analyze the personal profiles of group members and choose a few who are likely to spend a lot.
Answer their questions or assist them with any issues, if any, to build trust.
Later, redirect them to private communication channels and offer affiliate recommendations when you are asked for.
Such people have great ALTV. The tactic yielded excellent results for me in the digital marketing niche.
Alternatively, start a thread in a social media group asking your audience what problems they face regularly, and then create well-researched affiliate content that addresses those problems.

#7. Offer bonuses to visitors who buy through your affiliate links. But don’t forget to check the affiliate TOS for incentive-based promotions.
If allowed, bundle some freebies, especially video courses, ebooks, or any form of premium content on using the product efficiently.
Besides increasing sales, it will also reduce churn.
In the meantime, you can include them in email marketing or bot marketing funnels.

#8. Find some good products with a multi-tier affiliate program.
Get your link and reach creators who haven’t signed up for the same program to become your sub-affiliate.
Offer them exclusive bonuses to become sub-affiliates.
Else, share clocked links via email or comment forms when you’re doing it on a scale.
Most people treat it as a fantastic earning opportunity from the associated brand and sign up as an affiliate.
When your sub-affiliates drive sales, you make almost 5-20%, isn’t it cool?

Reverse content engineering a YouTube video that has a KGR term for your niche.
And using that information for either an ebook or blog site.

Hello,

Here is my advice: Most of the people think that affiliate marketing is a ‘get quick rich scheme’ but it is not. It is a real business, so if you want to make a living through it then you have to learn right strategies and put some efforts to make money through it.

And to succeed in affiliate business you have to build trust and deliver super valuable content.

Remember one thing: “your network is your networth” so keep networks with like minded people.

Driving traffic is hard, and driving traffic with commercial value is even harder. So my favorite piece of advice is to make better use of the traffic you are getting currently and use it to build other channels.

To really succeed in affiliate marketing you need to have a plan on how to monetize your traffic, beyond just sending your traffic to Amazon. If you’re going to go down this route, you should at least optimize it for success, so this means testing your colors/buttons/messaging on your offers.

Nothing has a better ROI than optimizing what you have already got in terms of traffic.

Run a Facebook group for people in your niche. Once you win trust from the members of your Facebook group and establish yourself as an authority for a certain niche, start recommending products or services from affiliate programs you’re part of. Of course, everything you promote should match your content strategy.

-Don’t give people too many choices
-Give people something to click early
-Make a promise in the title and deliver on it in the content
-Don’t publish 2000 words when 1000 will do the job

Affiliate marketing is not about promoting a product but providing a solution to a need a person has by using a product. If you get this right then nothing can really stop you.

Stop buying courses, then blame the creator, and spread negative reviews if it didn’t work out for you. Take action. Believe. Be grateful.

My number one ‘quick win’ tip has to be to engage with your affiliate program managers. And I don’t just mean to drop them the odd email. Actually pick up the phone and get to know them, or jump on a zoom call with them. This puts you in a great place to talk about product placements on your site and gives you a great opportunity to negotiate higher commissions. Taking a commission rate from 7% to 15% will give you overnight increased earnings and will motivate you to push those products more. It’s a win for you and a win for the company you are promoting. Quite often, this will bring side benefits such as free products for testing, bringing on board other brands that the affiliate manager promotes and them being able to share their product knowledge or tips for improving conversion. So… pick up that phone!

Buttons used for conversion should be detailed, relating closely to the landing page the user will visit. No more “sign up now!” or “join now!”… but rather “click, sign up & get all access for only $9.99” or “buy now for $29.99”. No surprises, no bait and switch, no funny business!…which results in better conversions!

Here is one Affiliate Marketing ‘Quick Win’ trick that has helped me in the past and brought me around $200 in a month on a website with less than 300 page views a month.

There was a new product SaaS product I wanted to buy but no one had actually reviewed it on Google. So what I did is – I bought the product, joined its affiliate program, tested it, and wrote a first-ever review post on it while addressing the search intent with a simple case study and detailed screenshots.

And tada, it was on 1st position the next day, and within 2-days, I recouped my investment. This review is still holding its position and bringing me a steady flow of conversions.

This trick should work well with most of the affiliate programs and products, but you have to take timely action for this quickest win.

And please don’t copy-paste the landing page; it will not work.

I am sharing this because it actually worked for me for a high ticket SAAS product too which made me over $3000 in a month.

So go ahead, give it a shot!

Here’s my quick tip for affiliate marketers who promote software: Are you struggling to discover new software & apps to promote related to your niche?

Check out the “integrations” of the existing software you’re already familiar with. This will give you a good list of quality apps related to your niche that you can explore.

For example, if you are promoting a specific accounting software, their integrations might include invoicing apps, scheduling apps, time tracking apps, quote generation apps, etc. It can provide a wide range of ideas for future products to promote and compare.

BONUS: Check out Zapier and IFTTT to see popular integrations between apps to discover even more.

Be genuine, and recommend products that you use yourself first and foremost. Be the “expert” of what you recommend, and offer potential buyers free consultation on the software or tool, in exchange for them using your affiliate link.

As a service business owner, your clients are usually the best customers for recurring affiliate commissions. For example, all-in-one software offer amazing monthly commissions (40% as an industry standard) and you’ll get that month after month as long as your client’s business still exists.

For example, let’s say you offer email marketing – it would be a perfect scenario to “sell” your clients on using a particular software that you are most comfortable working with (and therefore recommending.) – BAM, 40% lifetime commission for you!

Get a few of these clients, and you have a completely new passive income stream to supplement your non-passive services.

The only ‘hack’ is that you need to know for affiliate marking is that you need to market items that people actually want.

Triggered targeted pop-ups, call to action buttons/links, and floating sidebar on review posts.

I normally do some A/B testing on some of my popular review articles. For instance, I set-up triggered pop-ups that include my affiliate links when the reader scrolls to about 45% of the page. If the reader ignores that first pop-up, a second pop-up with any available coupons/discounts would trigger if the user tries to exit the page.

Every one of my affiliate related articles has call to action links on top, as well as the bottom.

And when I do not use the triggered pop-ups, I use scrolling/floating banner links in the sidebar.

Obviously, SEO is important to get people to your site, but content creation and setup is what converts.

Whenever you see a slow website, check if you can leave a comment and suggest WPX with your link. Best publicly to create more brand awareness, no spamming to keep the reputation high. If done by everyone, WPX will be steadily growing to a major service provider as it becomes a no-brainer for those who demand more.

Believe me, success has nothing to do with design, efficiency, or the amount of high-quality content as much as it has to do with your experience in a very very very specific field and how you publish your information so that it complements each other. You need to publish highly experienced information on very related topics (and this is what you should focus on in the stage of research and exploration of the market, which is to obtain a specific clustered information composition and you will find it even if in a very competitive niche), and you should not deviate from these topics until after you take the confidence of Google ( You’ll know when Google starts ranking you on new keywords to expand in the micro niche) Practically, you can follow the ready-made roadmap through GSC keywords tool. You can never expand in the field by yourself, but you will follow in the footsteps of Google, this is a very important tip for success in any field by excelling in a small room of a large house.

The idea in a nutshell: your success is limited to the strength of the interconnection of the topics you will start with the site with proof of professionalism. And Google itself will guide you the path of expansion topic by topic.

Include your best affiliate products on your resources page or create your own password-protected page where you offer affiliate vouchers, coupons and such to your readers. So you have two wins at once: affiliate income and people signing up for your newsletter to get the password.

Remember it’s 20% website build and 80% marketing. If you get this wrong you may have the best website in the world but no visitors! A bit like opening a wonderful and fully stocked shop on the moon!

Number of Articles Posted in start of your site before google crawl it is very very important to speedup the process of ranking :

Websites that starts only with 10-20 posts are not very powerful websites and they sure will suffering from google send box for a long time.

The idea : Before beginning your website and allow Google robot to index it, I recommend you to publish at least +100 ready blog posts before pushing your site live, and that’s a big prove for google that you are an expert on the niche from the first.

All of us, have a site that is a long term play (if you don’t, you should!) so it is important to get relevant links to your site. Here are a few strategies to build organic links to your Money site:

1. Link Roundups

Have you been browsing your social media or generally through the web and have come across sites which bring together a list of links about a specific topic? Well these websites would love to link to your site if relevant. Here is a few ways to search for them on Google in order to outreach:

Here are the search strings to use:
“keyword” + “weekly link roundup”
“keyword” + “friday link roundup”
“keyword” + “link roundup”
broad niche + “link roundup”
broad niche + “blog roundup”
“keyword” + “best articles of the week”

Here are two tips to help you find the best roundups using search strings.
Tip #1: Use broad keywords in these search strings.
Tip #2: Weed out the roundups that seem dead.

2. The Secret to get EDU links

Ever wondered how some people get high value EDU and GOV links to their main site? Wonder no more, here are a few strategies you can use to build high quality links to your Money site:

• Most Educational Websites have pages which provide information about Student Scholarships. Propose a small Scholarship for the University students (bonus tip – this can financial or in kind contributions). If the Educational Institution accepts your proposal, you will have a super high quality backlink for life!

You can Use these to find the scholarship pages on .edu domains:
o site:.edu “scholarships”site:.edu “college scholarships”
o site:.edu “scholarships links”
o site:.edu “scholarship list”
o site:.edu “list of scholarships”
o site:.edu “Outside Agency Scholarships”
o site:.edu “private Scholarships”
o site:.edu “keyword + scholarships”

Offer a significant discount – Most Educational institutions have pages for student discounts. Reach out to the Webmaster and propose an exclusive deal for that Institution. This specially works well for Ecommerce Blogs or Promotional Pages.

Ocourse there is many more little hidden gems but you only one or two to get started. Best way to succeed is to just execute, execute & execute!

My biggest “quick win” was answering a post in a facebook group that asked if anyone was interested in a 3 way link exchange.

I ended up getting links from some of the biggest online magazines in my exact niche. These are DR 75+ links for free with a link from one of my sites.

My original response to the post led to multiple others reaching out to me via PM and through that I have gained many high DR links to my money sites.

That one response that I made in that facebook group has pushed multiple high value keywords to number 1 and 2 in the serps all with no cost, except the work to add links to my other sites.

Definitely a huge and quick win for me!

Be unique, honest, and transparent with your offer. Make sure it provides valid solutions for the client and be there to grow with them in your affiliate marketing.

If the website is already getting some attraction I will install a heatmap and see where users click the most when reading my articles and which part catches their attention then I will add a product suggestion within this section. and will use catchy buttons with different colors.

If the website is still in the ranking process I will define the keywords that are ranking between 5 and 20 positions (focus on transactional keywords) and do mapping with the URLs and then add those keywords to the pages that they rank on, and add internal links with the same anchor text of the keyword from different pages to that page, so that it will get more traffic.

Identify and contact numerous influencers within a given niche and offer them a split for any affiliate links they promote across their platforms – interview optional but not necessary. This isn’t about brand building, but a quick method of leveraging others’ platforms that have been built over the years.

Easy quick win for affiliates – do your own tracking to your links so you aren’t relying on the merchant to keep honest. (tools like bit.ly and linkwizard will do the trick)

The best advice I can offer is to put yourself into the shoes of your customer. What do they think about? Where do they hang out? What do they like? What are their dreams? Interview them. Ask questions in groups.
All of these things will put you in a better state to find out what will make them buy. What triggers their decision to purchase. It is always about what they want. Not what you want.

My Best Affiliate Marketing Quick Win is simple, but powerful.

People want to buy from people they trust. Don’t be nameless or faceless with your niche websites.

Create a good persona, Use https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ to come up with a name that fits your avatars’ or audiences’ age range. Use https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ to create a decent headshot, or buy a good stock image to use. I’m a fan of https://pexels.com and https://pixabay.com .

Write a quick ‘bio’ about your persona them for the Widget Under their picture (that should be featured site-wide), and make sure you add social media links for them (Twitter, FB, Linkedin at the minimum) to their about page, and in the footer of the website.

Again, this is STUPID simple, but an opportunity that many don’t take advantage of, and can easily be taken care of in under 15 minutes, even if you’re not the best writer in the world.

It builds trust with your readers, AND depending on the niche it’s a teensy tiny step towards E.A.T. implementation.

Hope this helps!

Put yourself in the shoes of your readers. People who type ‘Cajun chicken recipe’ into a search engine don’t want to read a 3,000 word essay about your trip to Mexico. Get to the point. If someone searches for ‘Ted Lasso fanfiction’ you should go longer.

My best affiliate marketing hack that has brought me the biggest result is leveraging the informational content-first approach when it comes to writing, ranking, and making money from affiliate content.

So, instead of being product-focused and going the product review route with my content, I start with creating a bunch of content on problems the product in question solves.

I start thinking about who my audience is first, and the type of traffic that’ll be coming to the article before writing my content.

There’s always a misconception that we must always write about the reviews of the affiliate products or services first before making a significant amount of money as an affiliate. No!

From my experience, this approach tends to attract more traffic fast, get more clicks, and earn more affiliate income.

As we all know, the actual organic traffic stems from writing content that answers questions that the searcher is looking for. Product first doesn’t satisfy that enough. Helpful, informational content does.

These are informational contents talking about niche-specific information that I write in response to specific search queries.

This was the same tactic I used to become one of the top affiliates of a popular funnel software called ClickFunnels. Which is a very tough affiliate program to promote.

So, instead of going after the competitive “ClickFunnels review” keyword, what I did was go after niche-specific searches about ClickFunnels and how it can be used in these industries.

For example – keywords like:

“ClickFunnels for Network marketing”, “ClickFunnels for Insurance Agents”,, “ClickFunnels for restaurants”, “ClickFunnels for real estate”, And a bunch more.

These are long-term keywords and pretty easy to rank.

I covered close to 30 of these. And I’ve made $80k+ in commissions from this affiliate program without ranking the review keywords.

Recently, I started employing this same tactic in promoting CRM tools. The same strategy would work for any product, any service in any niche out there.

Instead of going after the review like everyone else is doing – one would gather niche-specific long-tail keywords.

Like “CRM for insurance agents, “CRM for healthcare”, etc.

The whole idea is to write these informational contents and offer links to my affiliate offer organically and naturally as an alternative solution to achieve their goals.

Native advertorials are well known amongst affiliates promoting high-ticket offers using paid traffic from native advertising networks. They offer the creative freedom to use a wide variety of angles to boost conversion rates for hard-to-convert offers. Product reviews are restricted by the need to appear objective, unbiased, and credible. The advertorial format allows for the use of other copywriting formulas including Problem-Agitate-Solve (PAS), Attention-Interest-Desire-Action (AIDA), and Before-After-Bridge.
I. Native Advertorials with Retargeting: There are often paid search targeting restrictions or high competition when bidding for review, product, or brand-specific keywords. Integrating retargeting pixels into your content allows you to advertise to specific segments of visitors. The segments could be specific to the product, category, brand, or stage of customer journey (discovery, interest, intent, or ready for purchase). Using paid retargeting ads with native advertorials, or other landing page types, would be a worthwhile test for difficult offer categories that may require multiple touch points before an eventual conversion (e.g., financial, home services, other lead based services).

The customer journey to conversion varies widely by product or service category. Content marketing relies on embedded calls to action and conspicuous placement of related articles to move readers through the funnel to conversion. These are passive in nature.
I. Embedding Quiz/Survey widgets: The most common surveys or quizzes are calculators for money or time in the form of loan estimators, debt payoff calculators, skin-type product recommendations, or project cost estimators. These could pertain to the nature of the service for lead generation offers, or product-specific information like capability, size, cost for ecommerce. The use case that comes to mind is embedding these into content targeting the information stage of the customer journey.
II. Integrating Automated Webinar funnels: Marketing agencies, consultants, and high-ticket coaches use pre-recorded webinars late in the customer funnel to warm up and educate prospective customers before their imminent sign-up or conversion. This pre-recorded webinar flow can be repurposed for affiliate offers in tough to convert niches such as financial, retirement, and lead-gen for certain service industries. Calls to action within affiliate content to sign-up for an “informational” webinar or including it within email follow-up series could be effective.

Certain merchants and product categories offer low commission rates despite the underlying product offering high margins (cough Amazon Associates). For those with ecommerce experience, there are ways to effectively improve profits per conversion without relying on the merchant.
I. Combining Affiliate Sites with Product Imports*: Embedding remarketing pixels in your affiliate sites with traffic allows you to drive sales for separate private label products that you own with less advertising spend per sale. The act of the affiliate site’s content acquiring organic traffic effectively provides an audience to target directly with the separate private label brand’s products.
If the merchants affiliate commission rate is 10%, and your margin on your private-label product being fulfilled by a 3PL is 30-40%, then you would have a significant uplift in profit per conversion. You also have the benefit of not having to wait to rank the separate website before making sales.
II. Convert Affiliate Site to Ecommerce Store*: Affiliates with domains relevant to a product category (exercisedepot.com, bicepblaster.com) can convert all or part of their site to an ecommerce store for their private label product(s) while retaining high-ranking content that acquires organic traffic. This provides more profits per conversion and alleviates the need to compete for Amazon search rankings. eCommerce brands with rankings may also command higher multiples than affiliate sites when it comes time to sell the site on.
III. Convert Affiliate Site to Ecommerce Store (Part 2) *: The potential to convert from affiliate site to private label ecommerce store could be interpreted as a hidden value metric when reviewing affiliate sites to buy on a marketplace. There are scenarios in which sites receive strong traffic to their content, have poor options to monetize with affiliate or display. This makes for lower acquisition costs.
If the traffic and product category are conducive to private label sales, the buyer of the site could unlock hidden value by converting it to an ecommerce site. The existing traffic from content could be used to drive product sales. Those private label sales using third-party fulfillment would provide more revenue per conversion than another merchant’s affiliate commission rate.
*These suggestions assume low manufacturing cost; small-to-medium size product that does not require regulatory and safety considerations (e.g., certain electronics, medical, chemicals, or consumables etc.); and the use of third-party logistics, whether that’s Amazon FBA or another independent 3PL provider like ShipBob or RedStag.

Reviewing Large Affiliate and eCommerce Sites
I. Screen Large Affiliate Sites For Poor Performers: Mainstream affiliate sites like TheSpruce, WisePick have pages with profitable products to promote that rank poorly for low-to-moderate competition keywords and have low Ahrefs UR. These can be outranked with the right content strategy and targeted SEO effort. Sites of this nature are a great starting point for niche research.
II. Screen Medium-Size eCommerce Sites: Some medium-size ecommerce sites offer reasonable commissions 6-7% on products with high average sales prices. Some of their underlying product pages don’t receive enough SEO attention and languish in the SERPs for rank-able keywords. Performing bulk analysis on sites’ product catalogs can reveal high price products that do not rank well for keywords. These can be sniped for commissions with a review article.
III. Amazon Browse Tree Guide: The beginning stages of research start with niche selection. It’s sometimes cumbersome to dig for seed keywords to begin searching. The Amazon Browse Tree Guide are Excel catalogs available to Amazon Sellers to assist them in correctly classifying their products. It is a vast set of files that cover most underlying sub-categories and niches within each product vertical. While the official documents are gated behind Amazon Seller Central, a simple Google search (Query: Amazon browse tree guide) will show third-party sites that aggregate the direct links to the documents in Amazon S3. This is a great resource to inform one’s niche research, even if it’s for affiliate purposes, and not for private label products.

Selling a product is not a very difficult thing. All you need to do is take care of a few things.

#1. Understand the strength and weaknesses of your product
To sell any product, you have to know everything about that product. You have to figure out where it is better than its competitors and which departments it falls short in. So you can highlight the strong points of those products. It is crucial to present the weak points intelligently so that the negative impact is minimal.

#2. Understand the marketing psychology
For that, you have to first understand the psychology of your customers. You have to know how they will attract you. Some of them want a product with good features, while others are looking for a product that saves them money. So present your product according to them.

#3. Voice tone
This is an important thing in marketing. Your voice tone should be more convincing. When writing an article, imagine you are actually demonstrating your product to a customer.

#4. Try to use emotions in your writing.
People want to feel that they are going to receive great value from your presentation. It is imperative to describe the product in a way that makes people fear missing out on this opportunity.

#5. Create affiliate clusters
To show your authority on the product, write lots of content around that product. Don’t just write everything into one article, instead break it up into keywords. Make a proper silo of that product.

80% of your effort should go into driving traffic/SEO, 20% into everything else.

If you don’t do this you’ll have the most beautiful website but no visitors. Much like opening a beautifully stocked shop on the moon, no one will know about it or visit!

Use https://www.incomebyzipcode.com/richest-zip-codes to find your target demographic. Then Use (EDDM) https://eddm.usps.com/eddm/select-routes.htm to send them direct postcard for a TINY amount using ‘Every Door Direct Mail’. For under a thousand dollars you can send an entire postcode of the richest people in your state a postcard.

Parasite pages can still work wonders. There are always the obvious sites like Medium, Patch, etc. It can help to check the search results within your market to find any that are more related to your niche and currently working well (aka not YET overly abused by SEOs. Sponsored Newspaper posts have become more common as well.

But the biggest aspect of this that I think less people know about, is that some sites will allow an affiliate link. Do some research to check what competitors are doing and check the websites terms to see if it mentions affiliate links or monetization.

Another way to take advantage of this is use a site like Medium as a CMS with a custom domain. You can gain some trust or authority from the main site and get a new site traction much quicker. One great example is BetterMarketing.pub, which is getting over 250K traffic according to SEMRush.

Focus on ‘Brand Conversion’ content for the quickest way to earn ongoing affiliate revenue. This strategy is based on getting traffic from SEO (Google) and conversions from brands that offer high ROI from affiliate marketing. Here are the steps to take:

1. Content strategy – start with an overall website content strategy and identify categories > sub-categories > products and brands to target which fit that strategy.

2. Brands – from the list of potential brands that have affiliate programmes, rank them (spreadsheet with the following fields) based on:

a) overall Google traffic on their brand name
b) Google traffic for high converting terms e.g. ‘[brand name] coupon’, ‘[brand name] deals’ etc. Be consistent with the 1-3 terms you’ll use across all potential brands for this step
c) get the keyword difficulty (KD) for both the a) and b) terms above (use a paid tool, such as Long Tail Pro, Ahrefs, SEM Rush etc.)
d) get the EPC (earnings per click) data per brand – get as much data as you can from Skimlinks (a sub-affiliate network that publishes EPC data) and networks that do, like Awin

From this list, you’ll likely have to pay for c); the others are free. For a) and b) you can use a paid tool or a free tool, like Keyword Surfer’s Chrome extension

3. Choose brands to target based on low-mid (KD), low-mid traffic (mid is best if the KD is low) and high EPC (a high EPC is crucial)

4. Plan topical content silos, e.g. ‘widgets’ where you can integrate useful informational content, lower commercial content (buying guides, best list posts etc.) and high commercial content (brands identified from your list in 2) above that sell ‘widgets’

5. Produce high-quality ‘widget’ topic content—for example, two informational pages, one buying guide, one best of and two brand pages. And link (internal) all the content together in a logical silo

External links – if possible, build some external backlinks to the pages in the silo, which are more likely to attract natural links, e.g. informational pages and lower commercial intent pages. Of course, the more backlinks, the better, but they’re not essential with an established website or even one with a low domain authority (say 15-20%) if the content is top-quality

6. Google will rank the pages in time (a lower time for sites with related content and high domain authority), and as your ‘Brand Conversion’ high commercial intent pages rank, you’ll bring in sales > commissions

Pro tip: For brands with higher traffic, you can build brand traffic silos. For example, produce one page with high commercial intent targeting a term like ‘[brand name] deals’, ‘[brand name] offers’ or ‘[brand name] coupon’. And then produce other pages about that brand, such as ‘[brand name] [product], ‘[brand name] [category]’ (basically, products, services or product families/categories they’re renowned for). Push the internal link equity to the high commercial page, and it will rank

There’s a lot more detail to this ‘Brand Conversion’ process. But these steps will get you on track. You need to hit the right sweet spot between traffic x keyword difficulty x high EPC to get the quickest results in affiliate marketing.
