1:17 | thank you page now something that’s very

1:19 | important to know is that if you have

1:25 | basically withdrawn but don’t worry

1:27 | later on this video I’ll show you

1:51 | it’ll show your total commissions and

1:53 | it’s going to have your summary for the

1:54 | month over here up here we have your

1:56 | promotions so things like the Amazon

1:58 | Bounty program you have your different

1:59 | tools different reports like the

2:04 | section as well I’m going to take you

2:05 | guys to one link which is really

2:07 | important this is basically going to

2:08 | allow you to start monetizing your

2:10 | International traffic so what we will do

2:11 | is Click get started here and we’re

2:13 | going to add different countries so

2:15 | let’s say we want to also sell in Canada

2:17 | and France we’ll click next accept the

2:19 | terms and then click submit then we’ll

2:21 | come here to onelink redirection

2:23 | preferences click update and for each

2:25 | country I recommend setting it to close

2:27 | match make sure that’s saved and you

2:28 | should be good so now if go to

2:30 | amazon.com at the top of the browser

2:32 | you’ll see this tool called s strip this

2:34 | is really cool and basically what we can

2:36 | do is select any type of product so

2:38 | let’s say we want this one if you come

2:40 | up here and click on text it’s going to

2:42 | generate your affiliate link for you so

2:44 | I recommend using the short link because

2:46 | the full link is extremely long so just

2:49 | go with the short link copy and paste

2:51 | this and that is basically the link that

2:52 | you’re going to share with your friends

2:54 | so now is probably one of the most

2:55 | important sections of the video I’ll

2:56 | show you how to create your affiliate

2:58 | marketing website this is extremely

3:00 | important to have because this is where

3:01 | you will be sharing your links to the

3:03 | public and later on the video I’ll also

3:07 | create and how to actually attct people

3:09 | to come to your website so if you go to

3:14 | you to this exact landing page I’ll be

3:16 | showing you guys how to set up your

3:19 | and the great thing is that hostinger

3:20 | has an amazing Amazon Associates tool

3:23 | basically allowing you to connect your

3:25 | Amazon account with your websites and

3:27 | presenting your links in a very

3:28 | effective way so if you want to take

3:29 | affiliate marketing seriously I highly

3:31 | recommend building a website with

3:54 | lot of cool AI features but really you

3:57 | can’t go wrong with either of these so

3:58 | we’ll click choose plan you’ll select

4:00 | your duration here so I recommend doing

4:02 | at least 12 24 or 48 months the longer

4:05 | duration you get the cheaper it is and

4:07 | the longer you lock in that low rate for

4:09 | just for this video I’ll show you guys

4:20 | going to save us some money and then

4:21 | you’ll enter in your credit card

4:22 | information here and click submit secure

4:24 | payment so once you’ve done that we’ll

4:26 | click set up in your hosting or

4:27 | dashboard we’ll click I’ll create a

4:29 | website click next and for affiliate

4:30 | marketing I recommend going with

4:31 | WordPress because you need WordPress to

4:33 | use the Amazon Associates tool so we’ll

4:35 | click on this click next we’ll set up a

4:37 | password now this is important we’ll

4:39 | select affiliate marketing site click

4:41 | next it’s going to show you an affiliate

4:42 | marketing template for this video I’ll

4:44 | just go with the default one but you can

4:46 | absolutely browse more templates if you

4:47 | want click next I recommend just using

4:49 | the recommended affiliate marketing

4:51 | plugins we’ll go ahead and click next to

4:53 | save some time I recommend using their

4:54 | AI tool cool so let’s do something about

4:56 | yorkis we’ll click next now we’ll select

4:58 | our domain name let’s go with Yorkies

5:00 | best.com click next make sure this

5:02 | information looks okay and we’ll click

5:03 | finish registration we’ll select our

5:05 | target audience click next and now it’s

5:07 | going to install WordPress so I’m not

5:08 | going to show you exactly how to build a

5:10 | website in this video I have many other

5:12 | videos on my channel going through

5:14 | WordPress but I’m going to take you

5:15 | through the essential tools and the AI

5:17 | writer to show you how you can generate

5:18 | amazing content quickly now that that’s

5:20 | set up we’ll click admin panel and this

5:22 | is basically where we are going to build

5:24 | our affiliate marketing site so the

5:25 | first thing you want to do is connect

5:27 | your Amazon Associates account and we’ll

5:29 | click on this click on this button right

5:31 | here so you can either log into your

5:33 | Amazon associate dashboard here or just

5:35 | enter in your API information and you’ll

5:37 | click connect Amazon account now one

5:39 | thing I do need to say is that to get

5:40 | your API you must have completed three

5:43 | qualifying sales in 180 days have an

5:45 | approved associate account and comply

5:47 | with the operating agreement so these

5:49 | are super easy this one’s going to take

5:51 | a little bit longer so if you cannot get

5:53 | your API right now that’s totally okay

5:55 | you guys can do this step later but

5:57 | we’ll click connect Amazon account here

5:58 | to use hosting to to actually write

6:00 | content let me show you how to use the

6:01 | AI content creator so what we’ll first

6:03 | do is Select our content type we’re

6:05 | going to select our tone of voice so you

6:07 | can actually select multiple if you want

6:09 | and then we’ll select our content length

6:11 | so let’s go with something like medium

6:13 | let’s do five things to buy your Yorkie

6:16 | before traveling you have the option to

6:18 | enter any Focus keywords you want to use

6:21 | I’ll just let the AI pick those for me

6:22 | and we’ll click create content so there

6:24 | you go it’s generated our keywords for

6:25 | us it’s created a meta description it’s

6:28 | created an AI generated image as well

6:30 | and it’s written our whole article for

6:32 | us so of course with affiliate marketing

6:34 | the content is King and so what I

6:35 | recommend doing is go through this add

6:37 | your own spin to it don’t just copy this

6:40 | article exactly but as you can see this

6:42 | has already saved us probably hours of

6:45 | our time and you can click edit as a

6:46 | draft to do your own touch-ups but for

6:48 | now I’ll just click publish and now that

6:50 | means that this blog article has been

6:52 | posted to our website right now this is

6:54 | what our site looks like with minimal

6:56 | editing and as you can see that article

6:57 | we just created has popped up right here

6:59 | WordPress is extremely powerful you can

7:01 | absolutely customize your website

7:03 | however you want but that’s just one way

7:04 | that hostinger makes it way easier for

7:07 | you to generate content and build a

7:08 | professional looking website so once

7:10 | you’re able to connect your Amazon

7:11 | account by meeting the requirements

7:13 | you’ll be able to do this next section

7:15 | that I will briefly cover but if not

7:16 | just bookmark this video and come back

7:18 | to it later so once you’ve connected

7:19 | your account you’ll see this API status

7:22 | as connected it’s going to show you your

7:23 | partner ID right here and if you want to

7:25 | learn more about the plugin you can

7:26 | actually click on this to learn first

7:28 | I’m going to show you guys how to to

7:29 | create a table collection so we’ll click

7:31 | on this right here and we’re going to

7:32 | click add new table from here we’re

7:34 | going to name it so let’s put something

7:36 | like Yorkie accessories click continue

7:39 | we’re going to add the different

7:40 | products to be compared so you can

7:42 | either enter the Amazon standard

7:44 | identification number that’s going to be

7:45 | entered through here or you can actually

7:47 | search for the product directly on

7:49 | Amazon so if you click on that one let’s

7:51 | look up yor accessory and let’s say we

7:54 | want to do this one and let’s do this

7:57 | one and let’s do this one so we’ll click

7:59 | confirm selection it’s going to

8:01 | automatically find those identification

8:03 | numbers here we can add a highlight if

8:05 | we want so we can choose a color I’m

8:07 | just going to leave that as is we can

8:08 | also enter a text label too okay maybe

8:11 | I’ll add a highlight just to show you

8:12 | guys what that looks like so let’s do

8:14 | something like this we’ll click continue

8:16 | here we’ll add in the product data so

8:17 | these are all standard and I think it

8:19 | looks okay so we’ll click save changes

8:21 | so now we’ll have the short code for

8:22 | this table if we come to our posts so

8:24 | let’s go to the blog let’s click on edit

8:27 | right here so now we’re in the block

8:28 | editor and what we’re going to do is

8:30 | let’s say we want to come here and we

8:31 | want to add in this Amazon category

8:34 | right we’ll click on this add block

8:35 | button click on link Amazon product and

8:37 | there are three options we have we have

8:39 | the single product card there’s the

8:40 | multiple product list and there is the

8:42 | comparison table so let me show you guys

8:44 | what a single product card looks like

8:45 | first so we’ll click select it’s going

8:47 | to ask us if we want to type in the

8:49 | Amazon standard identification number

8:51 | it’s the product ID or we can actually

8:52 | search for the product on Amazon so I’m

8:54 | just going to do that right here by

8:56 | clicking on this let’s type in York

8:58 | accessory let’s choose to something like

9:00 | this and that is what it’s going to look

9:01 | like so you can see there’s a picture

9:03 | there is the title there is the

9:05 | description and there is this buy on

9:07 | Amazon button this is automatically

9:09 | going to connect to your Amazon

9:10 | Associates account so if someone clicks

9:12 | on this button you will get that

9:13 | commission let me show you guys what the

9:14 | other blocks look like so let’s click

9:16 | that click on link Amazon products again

9:18 | let’s click on the multiple product list

9:20 | click select we can actually

9:21 | automatically generate this list based

9:23 | on best sellers or we can actually

9:24 | search manually for the products on

9:26 | Amazon so let’s say we want to just do

9:28 | this just to show you guys let’s do

9:29 | yorky accessory we’ll choose a layout so

9:32 | there’s a list with description

9:33 | simplified list and horizontal cards

9:35 | let’s do the simplified list for now

9:36 | click add best sellers and now you can

9:38 | see this is going to be that multiple

9:39 | table that we just created looks really

9:40 | good shows bestseller number one number

9:42 | two number three the title the price and

9:44 | yes this automatically updates it shows

9:46 | Prime shipping for the ones that have

9:48 | Prim shipping available as well as the

9:50 | buy on Amazon buttons and then let’s see

9:51 | this last one comparison table we’ll go

9:53 | to that Yorkie accessories table

9:55 | configuration that we made earlier click

9:57 | continue and this is what it looks like

9:59 | so you can see the highlight color that

10:01 | I selected pink color this is what it

10:03 | looks like so you can either choose to

10:05 | have different colors for all three

10:07 | columns or you can just choose to have

10:08 | them all be white yeah this is a very

10:10 | great way to show comparison between

10:12 | multiple products for your audience this

10:14 | is how you actually get real conversions

10:16 | for your website because yes we can go

10:18 | in and make a link for example this into

10:21 | a link put the Amazon Associates link

10:23 | here and when they click on that they

10:25 | will see that product or whatever but

10:27 | this is a much much better browsing and

10:29 | buying experience for your audience just

10:31 | these tables alone and this presentation

10:33 | creates a ton of value so that’s why

10:35 | it’s so important for you guys to get

10:36 | those first three sales connect to your

10:38 | Amazon account and then for your

10:39 | articles actually utilize this

10:42 | functionality all the prices sync again

10:44 | like I said earlier so basically you

10:45 | don’t need to keep changing the prices

10:47 | and yeah in my opinion this is a

10:49 | non-negotiable that’s why I love

10:50 | hostinger so much because this is

10:52 | literally built in for free with their

10:54 | WordPress hosting so now if we look at a

10:56 | preview of this post this is what it

10:58 | looks like if we click on this it’s

11:00 | going to bring us directly to that

11:02 | Amazon listing and your audience will be

11:03 | able to buy and you get that commission

11:05 | so now let’s go over some of the best

11:06 | practices that you must utilize when

11:09 | doing affiliate marketing correctly the

11:10 | biggest thing is that it’s all about

11:12 | value the reason why people are going to

11:14 | use your links is because you are giving

11:16 | them some type of value and in exchange

11:18 | they are using your links and you are

11:19 | making a commission if you do not

11:21 | provide value then there is no way that

11:23 | people are going to use your links and

11:24 | it’s also going to mean that your

11:26 | content is not going to get in front of

11:27 | more people cuz I’ve been the content

11:29 | game for a long time and trust me the

11:31 | only way to do well is to create good

11:34 | content it’s not just about the quantity

11:36 | of eyeballs that see your content rather

11:38 | it’s the quality and what I mean by that

11:40 | is you want the right eyeballs to see

11:42 | your content for example for our York’s

11:44 | best site we don’t want people that

11:46 | don’t have a Yorkie to come to our

11:48 | website because they’re not going to

11:49 | find any value in the Articles and

11:51 | they’re of course not going to use our

11:53 | links what we need to do is get people

11:55 | that actually have yorkis that are

11:56 | willing to purchase things for their dog

11:58 | to come to to our website those are the

12:00 | right viewers in terms of how you get

12:02 | eyeballs on your content there are so

12:04 | many different channels so we covered

12:06 | the website this is a crucial part of

12:08 | affiliate marketing but there are also

12:10 | other channels as well for example

12:12 | YouTube Instagram Tik Tok Pinterest the

12:14 | list goes on the main gist though is

12:16 | that we want to get people to our

12:17 | content no matter if they’re reading or

12:19 | watching or whatever it is who fall into

12:21 | our Target Niche that is why it’s so

12:23 | important to pick a pretty specific

12:26 | Niche for your affiliate marketing

12:27 | business you guys probably have seen a

12:29 | lot of YouTubers they will have

12:30 | affiliate links in their descriptions

12:32 | this is one of the ways that YouTubers

12:34 | can monetize their video content there

12:36 | are tons and tons of blogs out there

12:37 | making seven eight even nine figures

12:40 | with affiliate marketing for example

12:41 | nerd wallet is a huge one they do a ton

12:44 | of Financial reviews and of course there

12:45 | are tons of websites that promote Amazon

12:47 | links as well in my years of doing

12:49 | affiliate marketing I found that there

12:50 | are two really great ways to get

12:52 | eyeballs the first is by doing

12:54 | searchable content so content that

12:56 | people are actively searching for for

12:58 | example if someone searches up top five

13:00 | things to buy from aori before flying

13:02 | and your video or your article pops up

13:05 | then those people are literally on the

13:07 | brink of trying to buy something and

13:08 | your conversion rates are going to be

13:10 | infinitely higher than some random

13:12 | person that stumbles upon your content

13:14 | right these people have intention they

13:15 | find your content with that intention

13:18 | and that in my opinion is the best key

13:19 | to making money with affiliate marketing

13:21 | the other way to get eyeballs is by

13:23 | doing General content that can sort of

13:25 | go viral this is not my preferred method

13:27 | of doing it because it’s very hard to go

13:29 | viral it’s really up to the algorithm

13:31 | and the quality of people that are

13:32 | watching your content or seeing your

13:34 | article are not as high they have way

13:36 | less intent for purchasing while

13:38 | watching your content so for example in

13:40 | this case if you have 10 people that see

13:42 | your article on top travel accessories

13:44 | for your yorie and these are people that

13:46 | actually search that term on Google and

13:47 | found your article that’s going to

13:49 | generate more sales than likely a

13:51 | thousand people watching a random video

13:53 | about dogs some other types of content

13:55 | that do well are social media content

13:57 | short form videos these are going to be

13:58 | short exciting reviews for a particular

14:01 | product and you’ll likely have a link in

14:02 | your bio or profile or doing things like

14:04 | I discovered blank and then showing that

14:06 | product you’ll definitely want to repost

14:08 | your short form content on all these

14:10 | short form platforms because that’s

14:11 | going to give you the highest number of

14:13 | eyeballs with the same content made oh

14:15 | and in your content you definitely want

14:16 | to put your personal touch because what

14:18 | I found is that a personal touch makes

14:20 | it a lot more relatable it makes people

14:23 | actually enjoy your content and get more

14:24 | value from it and of course it makes it

14:26 | more likely for them to use your link

14:28 | and actually buy the Product Trust is a

14:30 | big thing here and having more

14:31 | personable content definitely builds

14:33 | trust so basically just to recap you

14:35 | need to create a lot of content in this

14:37 | section I’m going to talk about some

14:38 | other really useful tools that you can

14:40 | use to both help you with strategy as

14:42 | well as output of content if you’re

14:44 | really going to get into affiliate

14:45 | marketing having a very dedicated SEO

14:47 | tool is extremely important some Rush is

14:49 | one of my favorites I use it a lot for

14:50 | keyword research but they also have a

14:52 | ton of other tools like local SEO which

14:54 | helps to optimize your site for local

14:56 | searches as well as other social media

14:58 | tools Google Trends is a free tool that

15:00 | everyone should know basically what you

15:01 | can do is come here search a keyword so

15:03 | let’s do something like dog accessories

15:06 | click explore we can set some different

15:08 | parameters here so let’s say in the US

15:10 | in the last 12 months it’s going to be

15:12 | for web search you can see it’s pretty

15:13 | steady with an uptick in the holiday

15:15 | months you can see what states have the

15:16 | most interest related topics and related

15:19 | queries you can also go to trending now

15:20 | and see what these search Trends are

15:22 | like these don’t always relate to

15:23 | affiliate marketing or Amazon Associates

15:26 | this is definitely a free tool that

15:27 | everyone should know about in addition

15:28 | to hostinger AI writer there are a ton

15:31 | of other great writing tools out there

15:32 | that I recommend you to use for example

15:34 | chat GPT perplexity Hemingway or

15:36 | grammarly to help with your writing

15:38 | style copy Ai and yeah there’s so many

15:40 | more tools so that’s all going to help

15:41 | you with your ideas strategy and actual

15:44 | writing once you move past that and

15:45 | you’re ready to make content some great

15:47 | tools to use are going to be submic Opus

15:50 | frame clickup and slack these are all

15:52 | tools that I use heavily within my own

15:54 | content business basically tools are one

15:56 | of the best things you can invest in for

15:57 | your business because when use right

15:59 | there is a huge positive Roi for every

16:02 | single tool yeah really I want you guys

16:03 | to start slow I know we covered a lot of

16:06 | things I know it might seem like oh I

16:07 | need to create so much content I need to

16:09 | write blogs I need to make long form

16:12 | videos I need to make short form videos

16:13 | all that stuff and yes it can be

16:15 | overwhelming but I want you to start

16:17 | slow all you need to do now is just

16:19 | create your website or blog write and

16:21 | post at least 20 different articles

16:23 | really Master the skill of SEO and

16:25 | written content creation and once you’re

16:27 | get that that’s when you can move move

16:29 | on into the content game and before we

16:31 | move on to the next section I just want

16:32 | to break this whole thing down and it’s

16:34 | sort of more formulaic approach so

16:36 | essentially what you’re doing is you’re

16:37 | creating a lot of specific and/or

16:40 | popular content that’s going to help you

16:42 | get the right eyeballs which we talked

16:44 | about that’s going to allow you to give

16:46 | value to them and then in return that’s

16:48 | when you can finally get the rewards of

16:50 | affiliate commissions it’s a lot of

16:52 | giving before receiving but that is the

16:54 | same with most businesses out there the

16:56 | reason why I love affiliate marketing is

16:57 | because it is so scalable you’re using

16:59 | the internet which is on 24/7 with

17:02 | access to everyone in the world so

17:04 | that’s really why people have been able

17:05 | to make so much money with affiliate

17:08 | marketing so now let’s go over some of

17:09 | the rules that I want to tell you

17:11 | because these are extremely important

17:12 | you don’t want to break them first is

17:13 | you don’t want to cloak your links

17:15 | unless you specifically say that you’re

17:17 | sending them to Amazon by cloaking I

17:19 | mean using something like pre- links or

17:21 | bit.ly to hide that you’re sending the

17:22 | viewer or clicker to Amazon Amazon does

17:25 | not allow this so what I just recommend

17:27 | doing is just use the short link as is

17:29 | this is the short link that you find

17:31 | with the site stripe tool and just post

17:33 | that link everyone is accustomed to

17:34 | seeing that link and yeah that’s what

17:36 | you should use another very important

17:37 | thing is that you cannot display your

17:39 | affiliate links offline by offline I

17:41 | mean like private Pages where Amazon

17:43 | cannot Trace back the location this

17:46 | includes emails PDFs as well as ebooks

17:48 | so if you cannot access that link online

17:51 | do not put it there also do not

17:53 | recommend listing the price because if

17:55 | it does change then it’s actually

17:57 | against their policies Amazon does not

17:58 | want outdated pricing information since

18:00 | the prices can you know fluctuate quite

18:02 | a bit but I will say that the only way

18:04 | you guys can do this is if you update it

18:06 | every 24 hours with a timestamp of the

18:09 | most recent update of course you’re

18:11 | probably not going to do this manually

18:12 | but there are tools for this for example

18:14 | the hosting your Amazon tool does this

18:16 | for you an affiliate disclosure is also

18:19 | extremely important to have so this is

18:20 | going to be something like I am an

18:22 | Amazon associate and I earn from

18:24 | qualifying purchases that you make you

18:26 | definitely want your viewer to know that

18:28 | you are making money from commissions if

18:30 | they do use your links because that is

18:32 | part of the terms and service okay so

18:34 | let’s talk about some of my other

18:35 | biggest tips and tricks when it comes to

18:37 | affiliate marketing the first 180 days

18:40 | of your affiliate marketing business are

18:42 | very important as you guys saw it’s very

18:44 | important to get those first three

18:45 | qualifying sales in those 180 days that

18:48 | way you have access to the API which

18:49 | allows you to access and use the hosting

18:52 | your Amazon plug-in and so yeah what you

18:54 | want to do is right when you create your

18:55 | account start creating your content

18:57 | start making your website just use S

18:59 | stripe links for now and get those three

19:01 | qualifying sales if you do not hit those

19:03 | sales in the first 180 days yes you can

19:05 | reapply but that does take time so I

19:07 | will say the timing is important you

19:09 | want to sign up and immediately begin

19:11 | promoting your links the next big tip I

19:13 | want to say is that you need to Niche

19:15 | down don’t think about creating a very

19:17 | general website or affiliate marketing

19:19 | business pick a niche that is quite

19:21 | specific to a certain type of person my

19:23 | rule is if it’s under 5% of people then

19:26 | it’s likely a good topic for example the

19:28 | nich that I chose for our demo website

19:30 | was for yorkis not that many people have

19:33 | yorkis but there still is a pretty

19:35 | sizable volume of people that do as you

19:37 | can see from this commission table for

19:39 | the US what Niche you choose also

19:40 | affects what type of commissions you get

19:43 | so yeah certain niches have better

19:45 | percentages but you also need to take

19:46 | into account the average order value of

19:49 | those types of products for example if

19:50 | you look at PCS the current commission

19:52 | rate for that is 2.5% and while that

19:55 | does seem kind of low the average order

19:57 | value for things in that Niche are quite

20:00 | high in the thousands or hundreds of

20:01 | dollars so if you make a $1,000 sale

20:04 | You’re basically making $25 commission

20:06 | rates on things like luxury Beauty are

20:08 | way higher at 10% but the average order

20:11 | value for that is going to be a little

20:12 | bit lower same thing with music and

20:15 | books kitchen Automotive stuff yeah pick

20:17 | your Niche wisely if you can pick

20:18 | something that is quite Niche down quite

20:20 | specific but is something that you’re

20:22 | very interested in I think that is the

20:24 | perfect combination because yes like I

20:26 | said earlier you need to put your

20:27 | personal spin on it and it’s very very

20:28 | hard to put your personal spin on things

20:30 | that you have zero interest in another

20:32 | thing you guys can do is promote the

20:34 | Amazon bounties and other offers don’t

20:36 | limit yourself to just promoting

20:37 | products you can absolutely promote the

20:39 | Amazon Bounty program as well but just

20:41 | make sure that it sort of falls into

20:42 | your Niche another thing I want to say

20:44 | is don’t use your own links to buy

20:46 | things and also try not to have your

20:48 | family and friends do the same Amazon’s

20:50 | very very smart they track your IP

20:52 | address they track all these different

20:53 | things and they will know when you are

20:55 | doing this so if you want to do that to

20:56 | get your first sales I’d say try not to

20:59 | do that because it’s very likely that

21:00 | they will catch on and you don’t want to

21:02 | get your account banned another big tip

21:04 | I have is comparisons do extremely well

21:07 | so instead of just reviewing different

21:08 | products try and do different

21:10 | comparisons so pick the top five

21:12 | products in that sort of category and do

21:14 | versus content do product a versus

21:17 | product B do product a versus product C

21:19 | do product B versus product C and so on

21:22 | you can even compare five different

21:24 | products and do a comparison table you

21:26 | can do the same thing with videos but

21:28 | yeah a lot of people they are searching

21:30 | this versus this and with those more

21:31 | specific types of keywords you can do

21:33 | extremely well essentially what we’re

21:35 | trying to do with affiliate marketing

21:36 | especially with Amazon Associates

21:38 | affiliate marketing is creating really

21:40 | great written and video content that our

21:42 | audience finds value from try and create

21:44 | articles that not that many people are

21:46 | creating and the best way to do this is

21:48 | get really specific right like the

21:50 | article I made for the yorkis website

21:52 | that was for accessories when you go

21:54 | traveling you can get even more specific

21:56 | you can have your geography you can have

21:58 | other types of products really the list

22:00 | is endless in the types of content you

22:02 | can make the more specific you can get

22:04 | with both your niche as well as the

22:06 | titles of your content the better it’s

22:08 | going to perform and again like I said

22:09 | earlier it’s all about value for your

22:11 | audience make sure that they are getting

22:13 | value because that is the key to

22:15 | succeeding with affiliate marketing so

22:17 | anyways that is my complete tutorial on
