Affiliate Marketing with a WIX Website [Step-by-Step]
Hi everyone. My name is Greg, and today, I'm going to
be walking you through, how to make an affiliate
marketing website with Wix. Typically, I would recommend
WordPress for affiliate marketing, and that's because the SEO or
Search Engine Optimization allows you to rank on Google easier. However, this has changed. Wix is now getting really good
at Search Engine Optimization, so, you can start ranking on the first
page of Google with a Wix website.
This changes a lot. In this tutorial,
I'm going to walk you through every single step on screen recording,
so, you can follow along, and by the end of the tutorial, you'll have your own
affiliate marketing website. Now, the beauty of Wix is, you can actually get started
completely for free, and then, once you decide you want
to go forward with the website, you can either keep it free,
or you can upgrade to a premium plan.
I'll walk you through all of this, but by the end of it, you'll be able to connect
your own domain name, and you have a full
affiliate marketing website. So, without further ado,
let's get right in the computer. Alright. So, now, that
we're in the computer, the very first thing we
need to do is go to Wix.com, or if you want to support me, and if this video turns
out to really help you, you can use my Wix referral code.
It cost you nothing extra, but it help support me, and it allows
me to make more tutorials like this. So, if you want to use
that referral code, it's just www.bit.ly/newWIXwebsite, and the Wix is capital. Now, if you use this link, it'll be the same
as going to Wix.com, except Wix will give me
credit down the road.
Now I don't get paid
to make these videos. So, this referral link is what
supports future tutorials. So, if you want to use that,
thank you in advance, and I'm just going to go through
as if we were to use this. So, once we either come to Wix,
or we use this link here. We can either just hit
'start now,' or get started. Either of them just brings
us to the next step. So, we'll hit one of these,
and it'll just ask you to login. So, if you are brand new to Wix,
all you have to do is hit 'sign up,' and it's super easy. You basically just put in an
email and create a password. If you already have a Wix account,
all we have to do is hit login, and it'll bring us
to our Wix dashboard. If you are brand new to Wix,
you'll be prompted with no sites here, and it'll be a big button that says,
create your first site.
So, that's what we're going to hit. If you already have a Wix account, we're just going to
come to the top right and do create a new site. And now, from here, it's going to ask,
what kind of template we want to use. So, we're going to go straight forward
blog which is in the top right corner, and then, it'll ask us if
we want to use the Wix ADI which is artificial intelligence, or if we want to choose
a template over here. Now, I highly recommend that we
choose a template over here, because that allows
us to customize it. Now, if we go with the Wix ADI,
we answer a few questions, and then, it puts together a
site how it thinks would be best. Now, the issue with that is if you
want to start taking things away or changing it, it can turn out to be
more difficult than if you were to just
start with a template.
So, just hit
'choose template' over here. Now, you can choose
from these templates, and this is what's great
about Wix is that you can actually
choose these templates and easily customize
them with drag-and-drop. you don't need any real tech
or computer experience here. With WordPress, it's typically
a little bit more difficult, and there is a bit
of a learning curve, because you have to learn how to
customize and build that site. With Wix, it is so
easy to make a site. Now, you can come in here, and you can pick what kind of blog
template you want to go off of, and my recommendation is to hover
over them and make sure they say free, and not something like
this that says ecommerce. The e-commerce is going to
have an online store on it, so, you will have to
pay for that monthly.
What I recommend is
using a free template, and this Is actually my
favorite one over here, especially for affiliate
marketing sites and I'll explain why as
we start to build it. So, I would recommend
the traveler blog, but you can scroll through here, and you can choose which
one you want to use. Now, you have two options when
you're hovering over here. you can either edit or view. So, if we were to view them, it gives you a preview of
what it would look like.
So, if we were to view
this one right over here, it'll show you what this
site will look like, and remember, you can
customize all of this, and that's what we're going to do. So, this is the base template
that we're going to build off of, and again, if you want to choose
a different template feel free, but this is the one
that I highly recommend, and this is the one I'm
gonna use for this video. So, if you decide that
you're viewing a template, and you don't want to use that one,
you can just X out of that tab, and it brings you right back
to exactly where we were.
So, if we are viewing
it and we decide that this is the one that
we want to go with, all we have to do is hit 'edit
this site' right in the top corner, and that's what we're going to do, and this only takes a
second here to load, but it's just putting
this template together and throwing us into the editor, so, we can start to customize it. And remember, this is all
completely free to do. So, you don't have to
pay for any of this. So, this is our template right here, and now, we can get
started customizing it. So, moving right along, now, we're
going to start customizing the site and building it out to the template
we need for affiliate marketing. Now, what's great about this is
once we've made this base template, we can actually duplicate it. So, for future affiliate
marketing sites down the road, it's as easy as one button to
duplicate it, change the topic, and change the articles. So, before we do that, we're going to create the affiliate
marketing base template here. So, I'm just going to go
through this, step-by-step, and you can follow along with me.
So, the very first thing we're gonna
do is click right to the social bar, and we're gonna hit the
backspace or delete. We don't need social here. It's not going to be relevant for
our affiliate marketing site. So, we'll delete that right
off of there, easy as that. Now, the next thing we're gonna do is
click on this horizontal menu up top. We'll click it once, and then,
we'll go to layout right here. This little button down here
is how are the tabs aligned.
We'll put them in the center,
and then, we'll X out of that, and we'll drag this until it's
snapped into the center of the site. Now, you'll notice that if the line
doesn't go all the way to the top, it's not in a full center of the site. It's aligned to a different element. So, make sure that pink line goes all
the way to the top, just like that, all the way, almost up to help. And it will make sure
that it's snapped in the center of the
other way as well. And now, we have a
centered menu on our site. So, the next thing we're gonna
do is come right up to the home and hit the down arrow. Now, we have all of our
pages on the site, but we really don't need all of these. So, I'm going to hit
and manage pages, and then, the about page,
we're going to hit the three lines, and we're actually going
to delete this page, and I'll explain why in a minute here.
And then, videos,
we're going to delete as well. And then, just confirm that, and now, we're back to our home, and
we have three pages of blog articles. This is exactly what we want, and our blog page, which is going to be the source
of all these articles is hidden. So, we can leave this
exactly how it is. So, we just have home,
travel, eat, and relax. Now, we're going to
double click on travel, and we're going to change that name
to reviews, and then, we can hit done.
Now, eat, we're gonna
double click there, and we'll change
that to 'top lists,' done, and then, relax,
we're gonna double click, and we'll change that to education. I'm going to explain why
I'm doing all these, but first, we have to create
the template for this, just so our site is ready
to be built out properly. So, this is all done. We've named all of our pages,
and we've aligned our menu. So, we can just hit X right here. Now, at this point, we're actually going to be
left on the education page. since we were working on that last, this is where it's
going to drop us into. As you can see,
we're on the education page, no longer the homepage. Now, this used to be
called the relax page. So, we're just going to
double click the header and change that to education, and then, click off of that,
will change the page again.
We'll go to the top lists. We'll do the same here.
Double click it. Top lists, Click off, and again, we're
going to do this reviews. Double click. Reviews Okay, we're off to a great start now. So, we're going to come
back to the home page, and from here, we're
just going to hit save, just to keep our progress. So, in the top right over here,
we can hit save once. And it's going to ask what we want
to name the site as of right now.
So, what I'm gonna call
is affiliate marketing, and then, we can just
hit save and continue. Now, no one's going to see this,
because at the end of this, we're actually going to connect
it to our custom domain. So, this is just for
us to keep track of. So, we'll hit save and continue, and then, we can watch until
we get a checkmark up top, and that means that our site is saved. And then, it comes up with a pop
up saying that your site was saved. So, all I'm gonna do is hit
'do not show this again,' and hit 'done' right here. Because when we save it in the future, it'll give us a check
mark right in a corner, so, we don't need the pop-up to tell us a second time that
it's saved successfully. So, it's really good practice
to get me habit of saving whenever you do some big changes. Now, autosave is turned on, so, it should save every
couple of minutes, but sometimes,
you'll lose internet connection, or your computer will crash, and if
you've been doing a lot of changes and not saving, none
of that will be saved and you have to do it over again.
So, just get in the habit of saving
it as often as you can remember. All right. So, moving right
down the home page, we're gonna leave this as is for now, and then, we're going to
change these three buttons. So, remember, they used to be
called travel, eat, and relax. well, now, they're called
reviews, top lists, and education. So, I'm just going to
click on the button once, and then, do change text, and this
one's going to be called reviews, and you can double check,
because it says it links to reviews. So, just make sure that these
two say the same thing. Ok, we can close out of that.
We'll click this one, change text, and we'll
change this to top lists. X, and then, the same down here. Education. And then, we can X out of that.
Now, when people click on these, it'll actually bring
them to those pages. Alright, scrolling right down here, we're just gonna click
on the strip right here, and we're actually
going to delete this. We don't need this. So, I'm just gonna hit backspace. So, just click on the background once.
It'll highlight the strip, and you can hit backspace or
delete, and it'll get rid of it.
Now, what I'm going to do to make
up for this space right here is, I'm actually gonna hit the 'zoom out,' and then, it allows us
to drag this up here, and then, just drag this all
the way up as high as it goes, and it should max out about there, because it's hitting the bottom
of this element, so, that's perfect.
We can just X back out here,
and it'll bring us back to our site. So, now, we're going to scroll
all the way to the bottom here, and it'll scroll past some of the
blog posts that we're going to make. And now, we have this
footer here to customize. So, this is actually
an Instagram feed, and again, we don't have that.
So, I'm just going to click on this, so, it selects. Make Sure that it's selecting
only the Instagram feed, and hit backspace or delete. And then, I'm gonna do
the same with this, because we don't need this. We're not connecting
Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest. So, I'm going to delete that as well, and then, this is the 'about section.' So, remember, we deleted the
whole page that was about me. It's because we don't
need all of that. It's going to be on the
footer of all of our pages.
It gives credibility.
People can relate, and it allows a little bit
more trust on the site. So, the first thing we're gonna do is actually click on
this text right here, and do 'edit text' and
just click off of it. Select this 'read more,'
and just delete that, because that 'read more' was linking
to the full 'about me' page that we don't have anymore. So, for now, that's good.
We can X back out of here and just click on this background,
and actually select all of this. So, just click over here, and drag,
and cover everything that's down here.
Once we've done that,
we can scroll up a little bit, and we want to drag all of
these elements up to the top, and make sure that they're
snapped in the center, and somewhere around here will work. If you're too far up,
it's going to kind of cut it off. So, make sure you're not too far up.
Just about right here is
where I would put that, and then, we'll just let go. And if you remember before,
we don't have any social. So, we can backspace
or delete that as well, and then, we can leave that as is. So, now, we scroll to the bottom. Click down here,
and it'll give us this stretch. So, now, we can make
this footer smaller. So, I'm just gonna stretch
it all the way to here, and then, I'm gonna select
this element and hold shift, and select this arrow
back up to the top.
Select both of those, and then, just hit the
up key a couple of times, just to bring that, so, it's not
completely at the bottom of the page So, now, if we hit preview, you can see our footer
looks nice and clean. This will be at the
bottom of every page. So, no matter where we are,
people will be able to see this, be able to relate, and what I love is, they can actually join a mailing list. So, right here,
they can input their email. Wix keeps track of that. So, now, you can start emailing
these people as they opt-in. You don't have to add anything extra. It's already put on this
template completely for free. So, we'll come back to editor, and we really don't need
this quick button here. It's live chat with a
couple other options. So, I'm just gonna click on
that once and hit delete, and we'll get rid of that, because
we don't need to mess with that.
We don't need live chat or
anything on our affiliate site. So, that's good to go. we're gonna hit 'save' just
to keep track of our progress, and we'll get that checkmark saying,
everything was saved. Alright. So, our base
template is built. It's ready to go now. We don't know what niche we're
going to be using this for. So, we don't know what we're
going to be putting in for the 'about us' section and what we're going to be
tailoring the site towards. But this is the base template
that we're going to use for all of our affiliate marketing
sites going forward. So, remember, I said you
could duplicate this easily. Well, this is the time to do it. So, we'll just come right up to site,
and then, we'll hit 'duplicate site,' and it'll create a second
one back in our dashboard. So, whenever we log back into our Wix, and we're ready to build another
affiliate marketing site, we can just make a
duplicate of this template.
So, I'm going to call this,
affiliate marketing template, and then, whenever we come in,
and we make a new one, we'll just duplicate this site
and start building off of there. Super easy, and that's a
big perk of using Wix. So, we'll just hit 'duplicate,' and then, when we go to 'my sites,'
or whenever you login to Wix, you'll have this template right here, and all you'll have to
do is duplicate site, and then, start building
off of that new one. This will be the template
that you don't change, but you just duplicate off of, and then, you can create all of your
future sites off of this template. So, with that being said,
I'm just going to X back out of here and come back to our editor here. So, the template's
ready to be customized. Now, it's time to find out
what niche we want to go into. To really be successful
in affiliate marketing, you need a combination of
three important things. The first one is a good website. We just built that,
and we have the template.
So, we can duplicate it and
have good sites going forward. The second is a good niche. It would be nice to be
able to just make a site about whatever we want,
ranked on Google, get traffic, and be successful,
but it really doesn't work like that. You have to go in and
look at the niches, see which ones are saturated, and see
what kind of keywords we can use. and where there's room to rank on
search engines, get organic traffic, and actually have this
affiliate marketing work. And then, the third thing is
good content on your site. so we're going to move
into that in a bit, but right now, let's
tackle the niche part. So, in order to find a good niche, what I like to do is go to a
website called kwfinder.com, and I bookmark this,
because I use it quite often. So, you can do the same,
but it's just kwfinder.com.
It's completely free to use. I think they give you two to
five free searches per day, but then, if they cut you off, all you have to do is
create a free account, and you can use any
email address for this, and then, it gives you another
two to five searches for the day. It's important to know that each search yields 15 to 30 different
results completely for free, so, you shouldn't have to pay
for a premium membership here. Now, what's important to know is, small niches do a lot
better than general topics. So, instead of typing
in something like yoga which is very general,
you could type in yoga mats, and then, this will tell us everything
we need to know about that industry, that niche, and if we can rank in it. Now, for another example,
instead of typing in shoes, you would type in basketball shoes,
or baseball shoes, soccer shoes, even rock climbing shoes. See how specific you
can get with this. So, we're gonna type in
rock climbing shoes here, and then, we'll leave
'anywhere' set how that is, and we're gonna change
this to whatever language we are going to be
making our posts in.
Whatever language your site is in,
that's what you want to put in here, because it doesn't make sense if
someone can't speak the language, or understand your site at all. It won't be ranking for them. So, once we put in the
first niche to test, and we have our language set,
we'll hit 'find keywords.' And then, once this loads, you'll see that you have
quite a bit to work with before it starts to blur
it out for a paid plan. So, you should be able to use
a free plan with no problem. So, what we're going to look for
here is not all of this information, but a couple of things in particular. So, the very first thing we're
looking for is to make sure that the keywords that we're going to
try to rank for are in the results, and we're not reading
things that aren't relevant So, rock climbing shoes is
exactly what we typed in.
That should be your first result. That one's going to be relevant.
Climbing shoes is relevant. Bouldering shoes is a
different keyword. Bouldering versus climbing. So, that's going to be different,
so, we'll disregard that. Rock shoes, probably a
little bit too far. So, just make sure you're getting
as close to the three keywords or all the keywords you typed in, and you're only looking at
the metrics for those ones and not ones that don't relate. So, that's the first
thing we're looking for. The second thing is how many
searches it gets per month. So, this column gives us the
search volume on a monthly basis and it's actually an average
of the last 12 months, broken down on a monthly basis, so, it gives you a good idea. We want to make sure that it has at
least over 500 searches per month, ideally, over a thousand. That'll give you
enough organic traffic to actually bring it to your site, and make money, knowing that not everyone
who comes to your site is going to use the affiliate
link and buy something. So, rock climbing shoes has
14,000 searches per month.
That's a really good number. When we come down, climbing shoes, 26,000, and then,
rock climbing shoes sale, 589. We could still work with that. Cheap climbing shoes, 818. So, we can see that just
kind of generally overall, the search volume for the keywords that are relevant are
well over a thousand. So, we're going to be set on traffic. So, the next thing we need to look at, which is the most important is if
we're going to be able to rank there. So, that's actually
this column right here, and what I love about Kwfinder
is it gives you a color too, So, you don't even really
have to look at the numbers. You can just look at the colors. Ideally, you want to be 39 or below. That means that you'll likely be able
to rank on the first page of Google. Now, you can see that
this one is a 42.
So, it's still possible,
but it's not exactly easy. When you start going over
the ones that are green, those ones are easy to rank for. So, you should be able to rank
on the first page, no problem. So, generally, what I
look for is 39 or below. So, when you look at your keywords,
find the ones that are relevant. Make sure that they have enough
search volume every month, and that they are 39 or below.
If it's something that's in
the red or in a dark orange, you probably don't
want to go with that. You want to keep searching over here until you find a niche that is
generally green or below 39. Now, that's how we're going
to be finding our niche. There's really not that much to this. It's just important not
to skip this first step. A lot of people just go into
any niche that they want to without checking to make sure
that people are searching for it, and you can actually rank in.
It's not too competitive. So, once you come on here,
just test a few niches. Make sure enough people are
searching for it every month, and that's below a 39 generally.
It's not crucial, and just know that you can make
multiple affiliate marketing sites. So, if you find one in a
week or a month from now, you don't have to
delete this whole site. You can keep it and
create a second one and start ranking in
that niche as well.
So, just make sure that
you're checking this before you jump into a niche. But that's all we're gonna do here. For this example, we'll go with
rock climbing shoes for the niche. So, now, that we figured that out, we'll come back to our
template on the Wix editor, and we'll start to customize
it for this niche. Alright. So, now, it's time to
customize this site for rock climbing. So, the first thing we're going to do
is change this background image. So, just click on the
background strip. Make sure you're not
clicking an element here just in the background strip, and then, change
background strip Image. And then, what I love about Wix is, you can actually use free
stock photos from Wix.
So, it's super easy
to customize sites. All you do is hit 'free from Wix,'
and type in what you're looking for. So, we'll type in 'rock climbing,' and as you can see, we have
quite a few results right here. So, super easy to do this,
and we can really pick any of these. I'm gonna pick this one,
because it's someone rock climbing, and they have shoes on. So, that's kind of a perfect fit, and then, we just hit
'change background.' I'll give that a second to load, and just like that,
we have our background. Sometimes, you run into
the common problem of, you have white text and
a white background, or something that's lighter, so, it's harder to read this. So, in order to fix that, all
you have to do is hit 'settings,' and then, we can actually
choose the background color to be something that's dark.
I'll go with this black over here, and then, you just bring the
opacity down to something like 60. And now, you can see that you can
read that white text very easily, and you still have
that background image. So, leave that how that is, and I'm just going to change
this to rock climbing. Now, you can set this header
text to whatever you want. So, if you have a name that
you want for your site, like if it's rock climbing shoes
now or rock climbing now, whatever it is,
you can set that here, but honestly, you just want
to make this header text, something that's relevant
to the keyword or the niche. So, when someone comes
to it from google, they see that they've
landed on something that is exactly what they were
looking for, which is rock climbing.
I might even add shoes here.
So, rock climbing shoes, and then, everything
you need in one place. Now, just something simple like that,
just so when someone lands here, they know that it is congruent
with what they were searching for. So, that's all we're gonna do here. I know that sounds very simple,
but that's really all you Have to do.
You don't have to over complicate it. You just want to make sure that when someone comes from Google
searching for rock climbing shoes, and they land on your website, it's congruent with what
they were searching for. And then we'll scroll down here, and
we'll edit this paragraph right here. So, these are the 3 different types of
posts we're going to have on the site. So, in this paragraph, we're going
to explain what these three are. So, I'm gonna put in 'choose a category
and learn everything you need to know about
rock climbing shoes.' And now, when people read
this really quickly, they know that these are 3
categories they can click right into. If they end up scrolling past it, they'll just bring them
to all of our blog posts. So, it's still a win-win.
So, now, we need to adjust
these 3 buttons here. So, I'm going to click on
the image, change image, and I'm going to go ahead and
type in 'rock climbing' again. And This one is reviews, so,
I'm just going to pick this one here, which has another shoe in it,
and we'll hit 'choose image', and now, we have a background
image of something that's related to rock climbing
with the reviews on it, and we'll do the same thing over
here for top lists and education, image, change image, free from Wix,
rock climbing, and I'll pick another one that has
someone climbing in it with shoes on.
That's perfect, and then, education. So, we'll change image here.
Same process. And as you notice,
when you start doing this, you'll get pretty quick at this. So, when you come out with a new
affiliate marketing site in the future for a different niche, you'll be able to go off this
base template we created and make the whole site
within 10-15 minutes. So, we're just gonna scroll down
and see if I can find one more that has to go with kind
of an education theme. Maybe, I'll go with
this one right here, and we'll choose image,
and just like that, now, all the images
relate to rock climbing. So, I really don't like this blue.
I don't think it goes with the theme. So, I'm going to hit design,
and I'm going to customize the design, and go to text, and then, I'm going to
change that blue to black.
And I'm gonna make sure that
when you hover over it, it doesn't turn blue anymore. So, I'm gonna make that
just a lighter gray. So, when you hover over,
it goes from black to lighter gray, so, you know that it is a button. So, that's all we have to do there, and what I love about Wix is when
I come to this one and do design, they'll give me that same
option of what I just created. So, I can just select that, X out, and then, I can do it one
more time over here.
And Just like that,
if we were to preview it, you can see when you hover over it. It turns into a lighter gray,
so, you know that that is a button. So, we're moving right along here. So, the whole top of our
site is already done, and now, we just have all of
our blog posts right here, and the photo right here. So, I'm going to jump into the footer, because the blog post is
going to be the last thing that we're going to tackle. So, I'll go back to editor, and I'm going to change
'about me' to 'about us,' and here, you can type in a general
sentence or two at the maximum about what this site does.
So, what the purpose of this site is, and really, any affiliate
marketing niche site is, is to recommend the best
products in a space. So, we are here to find and recommend
the best rock climbing shoes. And I just like to in the
header and the footer, and things on our homepage
to just capitalize whenever you're using your keywords, because that tells Google and
Search Engine Optimization that's a little bit more important
than the rest of the words that are around it.
So, rock climbing shoes. We are here to find, recommend the best rock
climbing shoes on the market, all in one easy-to-use website. So, just like that. It's something simple. It tells people what you do and
what the site is all about, and then, we can just set
this image right here. So, I'm just gonna click
on this, change image, and do the same thing as before,
and free from Wix, rock climbing, and I'm gonna use this one
because it shows that someone's helping someone else out, and that's exactly what
we're trying to do here.
We are trying to recommend the
best one to help someone else out, so, they can make a good decision,
and we'll just hit 'choose image,' and I'm just going to
change the crop on this, just to get this a
little bit more centered. So, I'm just going to click
that little crop button, and then, we can drag it, and we can put that
more in the center and just hit 'apply,' and that
looks a little bit better. Okay. So, just below it is
this little copyright section and probably created by Wix. I don't want the' proudly
created by Wix' on there. So, I'm going to delete that, and then, once you
have your domain name, then, you can fill this out. So, in a bit, we're going
to connect a domain. You can actually pick out what the
name of that domain is going to be. Now, that's going to go in here. So, this is going to end
up being the domain name, and then, just period, that's it. So, you don't have to
actually have an LLC for this.
You don't have to have
a separate entity. you just put in whatever
the website domain is, and then, you put the year
that the website was created. So, 2019. People get confused by this. They think that it has
to be the current year. So, every year, you have to come back and change this to
whatever the year is. You actually do it whenever
the website was made, and then, it's a retroactive. So, it says that, we are
protected by the copyright, all the way back to here, when we made the website, and you don't have to
register a copyright here. Actually, by creating
the original work, you're granted an informal copyright
without having to do anything else, and we're creating the site ourselves.
So, just by going through
here and changing everything, it is our original work. So, just know that, that's how you
can use this copyright down here, and once we have our domain ready, we can come back, and we can put
in the domain name right here. And then, one more thing I want to
do while we're down here is change this color. I don't like that teal there again. So, I'm gonna hit 'settings,' and then, I'm gonna hit
'design' and 'button,' and then, I'm gonna change
that color to a black, and then, the border, I'm just
gonna get rid of the border there. And now, in my opinion,
that looks a little bit better. So, that's that.
We don't have that blue there anymore. And then, I'm gonna change
this button as well. I'm gonna go to design, and I'm gonna change that
color to a black as well, that'll work. And that way,
people can come to the bottom, and instead of having that light
blue that was there before, now, everything's black.
It all looks good and
our footer looks good, and it'll look good on every page. So, when we go to different pages, you can see that the footer
still looks exactly the same. So, as you saw up top here, we still have to change the
color of these buttons. So, I'll go back to editor,
and just remember, save your progress as much
as you can remember to. So I'll hit this menu,
we'll hit 'design.' and then, we can change
the color of the menu. So, I'm just gonna hit
'customize design,' and we'll do text, and I'm gonna leave them on grey
for when they're not selected, and then, when someone hovers over it, I want it to turn black, and then, when it is clicked,
I want it to be black as well.
Just like that. Okay, that should be good. So, if we go back to preview,
now, it's gray. when you hover over it,
it turns black. When you select it,
it turns black as well. That looks pretty good. Alright. So, as you can tell, the site's coming
along pretty quickly. We just have a couple of
more things to do here. So, back to editor.
Let's jump into these other pages, and we'll change the
paragraph that's at the top. So, for reviews, I'm just
gonna double click this and write just one sentence
about what this page is for. So, I'm going to put, 'find the reviews on the most
popular rock climbing shoes to help you make the best decision,' and we'll just put an
exclamation point there. So, just something that's nice and
simple, and tells people what you do. Now, this is a little bit too
big of a gap for me personally. So, I'm going to hit 'zoom out,'
and I'm just going to drag this up. Just so, it's about even.
There's an even space here
with an even space here. likes out of that.
It looks a bit better. Alright. Now, we'll just
come on to the next page and do the same thing. So, top lists. Double click, and we'll
just change this to, why the top lists are important,
and how they're going to help people. So, we've found the best
rock climbing shoes, and put together our top lists to
help you find the best ones for you. Something again.
Just as simple as that, and we're going to zoom out again, and we'll just drag this up.
So, it's about even, and that's good.
Only one more page to go. And now, this is the cool one. So, this is actually education. So, this is a really important
tool for affiliate marketing, to get organic traffic to your site. This is where we're going
to answer common questions that people are asking
about rock climbing shoes. This gets people on to our site, and then, they're likely to click on
top lists or reviews or the homepage, and then, find all of
our affiliate posts and likely hit one of the links there. So, here, we're going to say, 'find the answers to the
most common questions about rock climbing and
rock climbing shoes,' and we'll put an exclamation point
at the end there, and we'll zoom out. And we'll just make
it look pretty again. So, we'll just close
this gap a little bit. And that's good to go. And remember,
save as often as you can, and you'll see that it just
auto saved for me there.
So, that's perfect. But just always double check that
you are saving as you're going. Okay, we're looking really good, but now, an important thing
that we can't skip is, we need to make sure that
everything looks good on mobile. So, we're just going to
come back to our home page and select the mobile right here. What I really like about Wix is, you can customize your site
independently how it looks on desktop, and then, how it looks on mobile,
and that's completely independent.
So, if you change
something on desktop, it will not affect
mobile and vice versa. So, you can make sure that it looks
really good on someone's phone, because so many people are
using phones nowadays. So, I'm just going to click mobile, and if you get a pop up,
you can just skip this. I'm gonna walk you through it here, and now, it comes with
this custom header, but I'm actually going
to delete this header.
So, I'm going to delete this menu. We don't need it, because
we don't have a logo. We don't have anything
we're really using. So, make that as high up as it can go. It won't go away fully. So, then, we're gonna click down, and we're actually gonna drag this
to the top, and just like that, we got rid of the header, and I'm gonna drag this down a bit.
I think that nice landing
page will look good. a big image for
someone to land on, and then, I'm just gonna click this,
and I'm gonna hold shift, and click the one right below it, and now, I can move
these two together. And I just kind of want to
center them up to this image, and then, I might
do one more thing and that's to make
this a little bit wider, just kind of to the edges, and then, I'm actually going
to click on it and hit 'smaller,' and see if I can get
it to fit on one line, and I'm going to keep a little bit,
so, it's not too far to the edges. Something just like that.
That looks good.
And then, I'll drag this one out.
So, it's on one line as well, and center them both up, and make sure they're not
too close and touching, so, it's hard to read. And then, I'm just gonna
click on both again and center this on that image again,
just like that. So, that's what someone's
going to land on. It's a nice clean look on your phone, and then, we can start to customize
what we have down here. So, again, you just
want to go through here, and just kind of stretch these out to make sure that you don't have
like lingering drop down words. You want to make sure that
they look nice and clean. So, just by doing that,
make sure that it's centered, and that's it for the first two here. We'll come down, make sure
everything's looking good. We have our first post here. I think there should be a bigger gap between these 3 categories
and the first post. So, I'm going to click
on this and drag it down. Just a bit here, just so,
you can tell that these are categories,
and then, these are posts.
But as you can see,
the mobile site looks really good, and that's a huge benefit of Wix as they make the mobile
site look just excellent. So, as we keep scrolling down here, we come to the footer. We just make sure
that this looks good, and as you can see,
there's a pretty big gap, because remember, we deleted
quite a bit off of here. So, just scroll all the way
to the bottom and click on it, and you have this
little tab right here, and we'll just click and drag it
until it comes all the way up.
And again, we just want to format
all this to make sure it looks good. So, I'm just going to
drag this down a bit. 'About us' is too far up,
so, that makes sense now. And I'm actually gonna fit this
right over on the right side. So, we can do this, and that
looks much better there. I'm just going to click this,
and then, hold shift and click the other elements,
so, I can move them altogether. and then, drag this up,
just about there. Make sure it's all centered, and the last thing is, we can
put this right underneath and our back to the top button,
we can put here as well.
Now, there aren't specific places
that you have to put all these. You can customize it until
it looks good to you, and that's what we're going to use. And again, remember
just to drag this down. Don't put this all the
way at the bottom, because it'll make it hard to click. So, just drag it down
a little bit more. So, you have enough space for someone
to click that with their thumb. So, that's all we have to do here. This all looks good,
and now, just save it. Remember, save as often as you can,
and we'll go to our other pages and make sure they look good as well.
So, this all looks good. All I'm going to do is, maybe,
bring that up a little bit. That was ten clicks. So, just ten clicks to keep in
mind when we do the other ones, we can bring them up
ten clicks as well, and everything will be even. This won't change, because we
set that on the other page. So, we're already set on the footer. We don't have to mess
with that anymore, and we'll go to top lists. We'll click on this
and go up ten clicks. Easy enough, and then, education, 10 clicks, and that's it for the formatting. Everything looks good, and then, these blog posts will
automatically format and look good as we start to make them. So, let's save that, and the site is technically done now.
All we have to do is start
putting content on here. So, what I want to do is
come back to desktop and go over how we
actually make this content. There is a specific way to do this. So, I want to make sure that we're
walking through this together, and go through it step-by-step, so, you know how to
do this going forward. What I'm gonna do is walk through, making one of these posts
from start to finish, and then, after you
watch this tutorial, you can go back, and you
can start to make more. Ideally, you want to have
30 posts on the site. So, you can split that up into ten
reviews, ten top lists, ten education. You can do twenty education,
and then, five and five. Split this up any way you like,
but once you reach 30 posts on a site, Google sees your site as a full
site and no longer a new site. So, when you start to
release new content, it'll start to be populated into
Google search engine a lot faster, because you are a full site,
no longer a new site.
Now, if you do only make 10
posts on the site, that's fine. And you'll probably
still get traffic to it. But I like to set thirty as that goal, and then, once I reach 30, I consider
that site more of a done site, and then, I move it
to the back burner. If I come up with ideas
for posts in the future, I always come back, and
maybe, add a post here, but once I've reached 30, I no longer touch the site typically. So, set that as your goal. If you don't reach 30,
that's no problem. But just know that that's a
really good number to aim for. So, now, let's get into that
last really important thing. Number three, and that's
great content on your site.
So, this shouldn't take
long from here on out, but the things that I'm going to
cover now are extremely important. We made the site look good.
Everything's ready to go, But creating the content and the affiliate offers
are extremely important. So, anything that I say here,
just take notes. Feel free to pause. Go back or ask me any questions
if you get a little bit confused. So, the first thing we need to
do is go to Amazon Associates. So, I'm going to open a
new tab and go there. You can just type this into Google, and it will bring you
to their site here, and Amazon Associates is the name
of Amazon's affiliate program. A lot of times, you're
going to hear people say, to use Clickbank and promote
those affiliate offers, because they pay commissions
as like 100, 200, 300 dollars, but trust me when I say,
start with Amazon Associates.
Even if you are getting fifty
thousand people to your site, using Amazon Associates
can be a lot better than using something like Clickbank. Now, not to get too
much into detail here, but my reasoning is, on Clickbank, a lot of the times,
they have high commissions, but the product is not that good. So, once someone comes to your
site and they use your link, and they purchase it,
you get $100, it feels awesome, but when the product is not good,
which is most of the time, one of two things is going to happen, either they're going to get a refund, and then, you lose that hundred
dollars in affiliate commission, or they're never gonna
come to your site again, and you ruin your reputation
with that website visitor.
Now, if you use Amazon's
associate program, when someone uses your
link, they go to Amazon. Amazon has a reputation to uphold, and they're known for
having good products. So, with that being said, using Amazon for the affiliate
program is an excellent decision over using something like Clickbank, where the product might
not be that good. Now, another added bonus is, if someone clicks your Amazon
affiliate link and goes to Amazon, they don't purchase the shoes,
they X out of it, they go out to dinner, then, they come back on,
anytime within 24 hours, and they purchase anything on Amazon, you get an affiliate
commission on that. Although, when you create
the link on Amazon and put it in these blog articles,
that link is good forever. But when someone clicks on it,
it sets a cookie on the computer, so, anything they purchase
in the next 24 hours after clicking that link on Amazon,
you will get a commission on. So, if they click your link,
and they don't buy anything, and then, they come
back the next day, and they purchase a
vacuum cleaner for $300, you're going to get commission
on that $300 vacuum cleaner.
So, a lot of people using the
Amazon Associates program have what I like to
call accidental success, where people click their links,
they don't purchase the product, but they purchase something else, and as the affiliate marketer, you're going to get
paid on that anyways. So, that's why I really recommend
using Amazon Associates program as opposed to Clickbank. So, all we have to do here is login
if you already have an account, which would be awesome.
If not, you can just hit
'join now' for free, and then, it'll ask you to
log into your Amazon account. If you don't have an Amazon account, you can create one.
It's super simple, and then, you'll go through
kind of a short application for Amazon Associates. Now, Something that's
very important is, it's going to ask for your website. So, if you already have a personal
website with a following, whether that's on YouTube,
wherever that is, you can use that website. However, what I recommend
doing is using that website that we're building right now,
because it looks good, and Amazon is going to know this
is going to be for affiliate links.
That's perfect for Amazon. They're going to get traffic
straight to their Amazon site for these kinds of products. So, right now, we really don't have
a link that we can put in here. So, now, what we need to
do is purchase the domain. And again, all of this
is extremely important. So, make sure you stay with me here. So, purchasing the domain
is the website name. That's what you see up top. Now, if you go to your Wix
website that we're creating, Right now, it's on a free website. So, they don't give us a domain
that we would want to use. When you publish this,
and I'm just going to do this.
You can do this any time.
It doesn't really matter. It's not consequential. This is the site name. So, it's this long username
followed by affiliate marketing. That's not what Amazon wants to see. That doesn't look very good. So, what we need to do is
actually purchase a domain. You can hit 'upgrade
now' on your Wix site, and it'll bring you to
the different plans. Every single paid plan allows
you to connect a domain, and it even gives you the
first year for free. So, any of these that you choose is going to allow you to have
that custom website name. Now, briefly, to go over this. It doesn't matter which
one you go with. You're not going to need a
business or e-commerce plan. So, any of the website
ones is going to be fine. The combo and the unlimited are the
two that I would recommend for you, especially if you're
just getting started.
99% of my sites are on the unlimited, and then, some of them are on the
business or e-commerce plan, but I never go with the combo,
and that's for one reason. It only gives you two
gigabytes of bandwidth. Bandwidth is how many people
can be on your site at once and how fast that's
going to load for them. You only get two gigabytes
of it on the combo plan.
For an extra couple
of dollars per month, you get unlimited bandwidth. It's going to load very quickly for
however many people are on the site. That's a huge upgrade.
The storage doesn't really matter. We're not putting a ton
of photos on the site. So, we don't have to worry about that. Comes down to the bandwidth. The faster your site loads, the higher up search engines
are going to rank you, and we want to be on the first page. So, I recommend the unlimited plan. The price varies, depending on what
kind of deal they have going on, but $17 is a great price.
Anything under $20 is a great
price for the unlimited, and it gives you the first year of
your domain completely for free. After that, it's about 15
bucks for the domain name. So, I know a lot of people
will get to this point and be like, oh! Well,
I have to pay monthly. I'm not gonna do it well. That's the reason that the
people who do it succeed, because people get this far, and they realize there's
actually an expense, and they won't go through with it. So, all I have to say is, if you're
actually competing in this space, you're going to do well.
So, I encourage you to go with a plan. You can start with a
combo if you want, or you can go with the unlimited, but I highly recommend you to do it, and then, it'll give
you the free domain, and remember, you always have
a 14-day money back guarantee. They'll give you all your money back,
no questions asked. But once you select one of these,
you'll be able to pick your domain, and then, once you have
that domain from Wix, then, you can put it in the
application on Amazon, whether you've put content
on this site or not.
So, even if you don't have any
post ready on this site, that shows Amazon that you're serious. It shows them that you're
not just messing around, and you want to make an account
and not really do anything with it. It shows them that you're serious.
You've purchased the domain. You have the real website. It's customized. It looks good. Whether you have content
on it yet or not, they're going to assume that you're
going to be filling out that content if you've already put in
the money to make the site, and you're applying
for Amazon Associates. So, that's what I would
recommend you do, and that will increase your chances of
being accepted by Amazon Associates. So, that's the first step, is you have
to get accepted to Amazon Associates. Now, it should take a couple of
days until they get back to you and say that you're accepted,
but once you're accepted, this is where everything
becomes amazing. So, now, when you go
back on to Amazon, you will have this little banner at
the top that's called a site strike.
So, no matter what product you're on, all you have to do is
hit 'get a text' link, and it'll give you an affiliate
link to that product. So, now, you can easily
create Amazon affiliate links to send someone to Amazon. And remember, when they click on that,
even if they don't buy the product and they buy something else,
you will get paid a commission. Now, it's time to find
some products in our niche. So, we're gonna type
in 'rock climbing shoes,' and to see what we have available. So, my biggest piece
of advice here is, you do not have to buy these. Actually, get them in
your hand and wear them, and use them to review them. What I like to do is go off
of other people's reviews. You don't want to judge it on what the
company is saying about the products, because they're going
to say it's amazing, it does all this, it does all that.
You want to know in the
reviews on Amazon, what people are saying once they've
received it, and they've tried it, and hundreds of reviews,
and then, you get a general consensus. When was the last time
that a hundred people who reviewed a product were wrong. It doesn't typically happen. So, that's the beauty of this,
is you can go through here, you can find different
products and read the reviews. So, just basing on this, there's only
four reviews, four reviews, none, and these are all sponsored anyways. So, when we come down here, we can start to see the real
products that we might be promoting. So, 249 reviews, and it looks
like it's a 4.5 out of 5. That's going to be an excellent
product to put on our site somewhere. And then, when you keep
scrolling through, you can find other ones. 26, 161, these are all
going to be good products. So, we'll come back to our site here. We need to look at what kind of
categories of products we have. So, we have reviews,
we have top lists, and then, education, which isn't really going to
have affiliate links in it.
It's gonna have more of just
getting people to our site. So, reviews and top lists. So, first and foremost,
we'll make review posts. So, we'll come over here, and
we'll go through the products. I like to go with the ones that have
the most reviews and the best reviews, and then, we'll click on those, and first things first is,
we're going to get a text link and get a short link. The short links and full links
full links are just way longer. So, we're going to go with short
links for everything here, and then, we'll just make sure
that we can copy all of that, and now, we have that saved. So, we're going to use this link in
the post that we're about to create, and when someone clicks on that,
it'll bring them right here, on our affiliate link. So, now that we've got that copied, we're going to come back
to our Wix website editor. So, if you come up to home and we go
to blog, which is the hidden page, but what's going to be the
source of all of our articles spread out through
reviews and top lists? And we click in here,
and we do 'manage posts.' This is where we're gonna
start creating our posts.
So, the first thing we're gonna
do is change the author name. So, you want this, ideally, to be
the domain name of your website. So, if that's, for example,
rock climbing shoes. Now, if that was the
domain that we bought, then that's what we'll
put as the author, but for this, I'm just gonna
put rock climbing shoe expert, because I haven't bought
a domain in this example. So, that's good. So, when it starts to show up as
the author of who wrote the post, it's going to show up as that, but ideally, you want it to
show up as your website domain. And now, we have the articles that already come pre-made
as examples for this site. So, what we're going to
do is just delete these, because we really don't need these. So, just go through here
and just delete all these. Okay. once these are all deleted, we have a clean slate
to work off of here.
So, now, we're going to
come down to categories, and we're going to edit these. So, remember, we had
eat, travel, and relax. We want to edit these and
change them to reviews, and category title is reviews, and then, we'll save that, and then,
we'll change this one to top lists, and I'm just gonna copy that,
paste it down here. We'll save that and the
last one is education. So, now, when we create posts, we can
set the category of what that post is, and then, it'll go into that page. So, when someone clicks on the review
page, it'll show all the review posts, and when someone clicks
on the education page, it'll show all the education
posts answering questions, the same with top lists. So, the categories are how we decide
where that post is going to show up.
If it's a review post,
if it's a top list post, but this hidden blog
page that we're on here that no one's going to be able
to see is like the database where all of these blog posts
are going to be pulled from. Okay. So, now, we go, into
actually making the post. So, go to 'manage posts,' and then, we'll go to
'create new post,' and this is where all
the magic happens. So, we're going to be using
this as our post here. So, I'm going to copy this link, come back over here, and I'm
gonna paste it down here, just so we don't lose it.
This is going to be the
Amazon affiliate link that goes to this product, and the first thing I always do
is just paste it in this article, just so, I know that I always have
it as reference if I need it again. So, since this is going to
be the first review post, we need to start collecting some
information about these shoes. So, what I like to do is go
to 250 customer reviews. Now, we're going to find out what
these shoes are really about. So, what we want to do
is scroll through here and spend a good 5-10 minutes, collecting kind of the
general consensus of people, and you'll find that people
are saying the same things about the same feature. So, for this example, it could
be that they grip really well. They're good for
people with wide feet. They're really comfortable.
They don't wear out easily. Things like that, and that's
what we're going to look for, and also look for the
negatives as well. You don't want all of these review
posts to be only good things.
People like to see that there
are negatives to products, but it could be a very
small negative like, I've had these for 3 years,
and they just started to wear out. like that's a good thing,
people will like that, but you putting that honesty in your
review post says a lot about you and builds that trust and credibility
when someone's reading it. So, what I always do
is come through here and start to scroll through and
see what people are saying. So, it's going to
take 5 to 10 minutes, but you're gonna collect information about what people really think about
these shoes after they've gotten them, and they're leaving a review. Something to keep in mind is if the
review seems way too good to be true. It could be a fake review. That is something that
happens on Amazon. So, you can't believe
everything you read, but that's why we spend
5 to 10 minutes here looking at a lot of reviews, so, you don't get a skewed
bias based on fake reviews. So, this is where we're going to
get the content for our post, and another good spot is writing
these questions right here, so, you can see, are these
good for tree climbing? You can just add these kind
of things into your post.
So, I'm going to spend the next five
to ten minutes going through here and collecting good Information
and putting together a post, and then, I'll check back
in with you in a second and show you what I wrote about. All right guys, I'm back. It's been a few minutes now, and I just finished creating the
first review post for that product that we found on Amazon over here. Just taking what people were saying
about it, reading all of that, and I took a screenshot
of the photo here, or you can find a photo somewhere, and I took a screenshot of this
photo here to use in the post, and that's what you see
right up top here, and a couple of important
things to talk about, the first thing is this photo,
before I get too far is, you want to link it to your Amazon
affiliate link to that product and make sure that it
opens in a new tab.
So, if someone just clicks this photo, it'll take them to Amazon,
to the product in a new tab, so, they won't be thrown
off your website. Your website will still
be in another tab, and it'll be on your
Amazon affiliate link. So, you got to click,
you're good to go. So, that's if they just click
the image which is great. So, we want to make
sure we have that set. This one, to add a caption,
that goes away once you publish it. And then, the first thing I always
do is get your pair on Amazon here, and then, put the affiliate link, and make sure that when
you put the link in, you highlight it all, and then, you make sure that
it is, in fact, linked up, and open in a new tab.
So, make sure that, that's set, and then, you basically
just write about the shoe. So, you can screenshot this. You can pause this video, and you
can use this post as a template, but it's just a short post
talking about the main features and things that people
were saying about the shoe. That's about it, and then, at the end,
get your pair on Amazon here again. I put that at the top and the bottom. So, there are two calls to action,
and then, I highlight. I always do this.
I highlight the name of the shoe, and then, I link it to the
Amazon affiliate link, and again, open in a new tab, and then, since this product had
4.5 stars and hundreds of reviews, that was one of the most out
of all the climbing shoes.
I put best climbing shoes, and then, I linked that to the
Amazon affiliate link as well, but this is really all
you have to do here. Don't overthink it. Just write out
what people are saying about it. You are providing value, because
you're going through all the reviews, finding out what people
actually say about it, and putting it into
one easy to read post. This is saving people time. Instead of someone having
to go onto Amazon, look through all the different shoes, and then, read all of the
reviews like you do. You're spending five to ten
minutes on each one of these, and then, putting down, basically,
the summary of what people are saying. That saves people time. That's enough for people to come
on here, stay on your site, read reviews of products,
and then, click on it, and then, it costs
them nothing extra. They go purchase it as
they normally would, and then, you get the commission, or if they buy that
$300 vacuum cleaner, you're gonna get commission as well. But that's it for the post,
and then, I put the title of the shoe.
This is what came
straight from Amazon, and I just put that title right there,
and then, for the image, all you have to do is just click, and then, decide where
you want the image to be. So, I just did this. So, it was above,
it was the first thing, and then, all you have
to do is click an image. You can add it right there.
You're not going to want to
use the 'free from Wix.' You're gonna want to make
sure you do a screenshot, or save that image or something, so, someone knows that it's the
same one as the one over on Amazon. But once this is ready to go, just hit
'post settings' and hit 'categories' and drop that in the reviews category,
and then, make sure you hit 'save,' and then, we'll scroll down
to the bottom and publish it. Now, we have our first post.
It's in the reviews category, and now, if we go to our blog,
and we go to the home page, and we scroll down, we can see
our first post is right there.
This image, I'm probably
going to recrop, so, it's not cutting it off like that.
That's not the best look for it. But then, when we go
to our reviews page, and we click down here on our
custom feed, we go to settings, and we choose our category. We can go from all posts to reviews. There it is right here on our reviews
and make sure everything's saved. When we come over to top lists, all we have to do here is change
this settings, choose category. This one will be the top lists. See, we haven't made a top list one,
so, there's nothing there yet. Come over to education. We'll switch this one
over to education, and that way, whatever category
we're putting that post into, it shows up on that page.
And what I love about this is the
home page is set on all posts. So, it'll just have everything
right on the home page, but then, if people want
something specific, they can click on
the tabs up top. Switch that to education, and they can go to the page to find
out the information that they want. Okay guys. So, that's
how you make the posts. There's really not that much to it. Just make sure that you're
setting the category, and it's going into the right page, and then, something that's really
important is to know the time frame. So, on average,
it takes about 35 weeks for a new post to get
about peak traffic level. So, the full amount of traffic that it's going to be
receiving going forward. And technically, it's about
90 percent of peak traffic. So, within 35 weeks,
you'll be at, basically, the full amount of traffic that
post is going to be getting. So, if you make all 30 of
your posts in the first week, then, 34 Weeks from then, your site
will be at basically full traffic. So, it'll take about 35 weeks for your site to be out,
basically, maximum traffic.
If you release a post every week, it's about 35 weeks from after
you publish that new post, until it starts to get
about that peak traffic from Google, Yahoo, Bing, all over. So, just know that it's going
to take about 35 weeks from after you publish the post
until it's getting peak traffic. Now, you can still get traffic and
affiliate sales before that 35 weeks, because people will be You're just gonna be at
about your Peak traffic. The most that you're
going to be getting, going forward at that 35 weeks. Now, a way that you can start
to get traffic to your site before you're on the
first page of Google, and during that 35-week wait time is to be posting these articles
in niche groups on Facebook. So, if you type in 'rock climbing,' and join a bunch of those
rock climbing groups, you can post your
article or your review, or your education ones
are typically the best. You post your education post
just as a link in that group.
Those people will appreciate it.
They might have the same question. They can read your article. You're not trying to
sell them anything, and then, they come to your site.
They find your site. Maybe, they go to the
reviews, top lists, and then, they're
clicking affiliate links. So, you can get your own
traffic in the beginning before you're ranked
at that 35 week-time, when you're going to be
getting the organic traffic without doing anything. Now, once Google sees
you as a full site, you have 30 posts or
more on your site. It's about 20 to 25 weeks from when you make a new post
to when it's at peak traffic. So, the more posts you
put on your site, the lower that time frame
gets from when you post it to when it's getting peak traffic. But remember, you can always post
your articles into Facebook groups and forums, and other
places on the internet to get your own traffic there.
Just make sure you're
not being spammy, and you're just sending it
out there to help people out and not try to get them to
click on your affiliate links. So, that's all we need to do
here for the review style posts. For the top list posts, you, typically, want to do the
top 5 rock climbing shoes, or the top 5 rock
climbing shoes under $50, or the top 5 affordable
rock climbing shoes. You can make multiple posts like that, and you're going to make it the
same way as the review post except it's going to be just a very
short blurb about what the shoe is, and then, a list of 1 through 5. Now, you can get the links
directly from Amazon, and you can even get those top
five from Amazon based on reviews, or you can type into Google,
top 5 rock climbing shoes, and find other people's lists, and then, find those
products on Amazon, and link them that way.
So, that's how you
make the top lists, and feel free to get creative with it. Top 5 is typically a good number. You don't have to do 10,
that's just a long list, but you need top 5 under $50. You can do top 5 cheap.
You can do five best rated, then, find the ones on Amazon
that have the best rating. So, you can sort it by best reviews, and make sure that they don't
only have a couple of reviews, but they have a substantial
amount and the best reviews. You can do top five rock
climbing shoes under $200.
See how you can get
creative with that. You only need about five different
top lists, and then, five reviews, and then, maybe twenty education, or split it up however you want. If you only want to do one top list. So, you need top five
rock climbing shoes, just do one, and then, do the
rest in reviews and education. There are no specific rules
that you have to follow on this, but that's the format
that you will do for this, and then, education, you're not going
to have Amazon affiliate links in. We're not going for the sale here. We're going to get organic
traffic to our site.
Once they're on our site, chances are
they will hit reviews, top lists, home, and it will find posts that
have affiliate links in them. So, what kind of questions do you
answer in the education section? Well, I like to use a website
called, answer the public. So, let's go over there right now, and this is a really cool site. So, you type in what your niche is,
so, it's rock climbing shoes, and they load up all the questions
that people are asking on Google, on the Internet in general
about rock climbing shoes. So, you can find the big ones on here, and then, you can look up
what those answers really are and write a post about it. It's literally that simple, but this is the way to find out
what people are really asking, and then, you want to make the
post that poses the question and gives the answer, and
remember, no affiliate links here.
We're just trying to get
people to our website. So, the ones that have the
darker green have more searches. So, can rock climbing shoes get wet? That's like a perfect question, and all you have to do
is look up the answer, find someone else's article
and paraphrase it. Do not plagiarize, because you can
get into a lot of trouble from that. But find someone else
answering the question. Maybe, find a few different answers and combine it into your summary,
the best answer. That's all we have to do here, and then, we will start
showing up in Google when someone types in 'can
rock climbing shoes get wet?' They land on our page. Chances are they're going
to go to another tab and click an affiliate link to
go buy some rock climbing shoes, or even to look at them, and maybe,
buy that $300 vacuum cleaner. I'm telling you, there's a lot
of commission to be made here, and typically, when
you hover over them, it'll tell you the
search volume on it, but right now, it's not
working for some reason.
All these are just saying zero,
so, disregard it, but if you do come through
here and hover over it, it might be working for you, and you can actually
see the search volume of how many people are
searching that per month. Now, you could always just copy
this and paste it into Kwfinder and find out the stats on it. But just go off of the ones
that are the dark green, and there's a bunch of different
charts you can use here.
So, they all start with
whatever the word is, So, can, with, and then, it gives you the most
searched questions with our keyword. So, this is going to be an
excellent place for you to find education post questions, and then just find the answer,
write a post. It should take you no more than a
half an hour to do any of these posts. Okay, so that's how we make
the content on our site, and there's going to
be one more section is how we get this optimized
for search engines and get it to show up in
Google, Yahoo, and Bing. So, that's coming up next and that
is going to be extremely important. So, make sure you stick
around for this. Okay guys. You made it this far. Now, we need to talk about
Search Engine Optimization, how to show up in search results
to get you the organic traffic, to make this all work. So, you know how to
make the blog post. You have the template.
Everything is ready to go. Now, it's just going to be a matter of
you doing what I'm about to explain, and then, making more blog
posts to fill this site.
That's all it takes So, if you can do that,
you're all set. So, remember, before
I was saying that WordPress was typically recommended
for affiliate marketing, because their SEO is better, and they can get you to
rank better than Wix could. Well, Wix is getting really good
at Search Engine Optimization, and they've actually made it a
little bit easier than WordPress. All we have to do here is,
from anywhere on your site, you just go to settings ,
and then, get found on Google.
Like they're literally
making it too easy for us, and I have multiple sites ranked
on the first page of Google, so, trust me when I say
this really does work. Now, this is the Wix SEO Wiz,
it's what they call it, and it's basically a survey,
and it walks you through step-by-step of how to optimize your site
for Search Engine Optimization. It takes me about 15 minutes
to go through this fully, and then, my site is ready to go so. All you have to do is hit 'start now,' and it allows you to
answer the questions, input all the information
for your niche for what you want to show up for it, and that's rock climbing shoes,
or whatever niche you're in and then, it just walks
you through step by step, fill this in, copy this,
paste it over there, and it just basically builds your
site for you, to be SEO optimized.
And then, the last thing it
does in this survey is Index as you write to Google, and then, Google sends you an email and confirms that they received
your site and they are indexing it, and all as well. It's literally so easy. They didn't used to have
this on Wix, but now, they do, and it really does work. So, if you've stayed
this far in the tutorial, you now have everything you need
to succeed in affiliate marketing. My best advice is to get
started as soon as possible. The sooner you get started, the sooner
that 35 weeks comes into action. So, with that being said, you guys
should have everything you need. Feel free to reference
those previous videos and use anything as a template
that you might need on the site. If you guys have any questions
at all about any of this, feel free to reach out anytime. I'm always checking and
responding to questions. So, I'm here to help you.
Alright guys. So, I
hope you enjoyed this. I hope it's been helpful. If you have any questions,
let me know, and I'll see you all in the next one..
