Affiliate Shop Site or Affiliate Blog site?? Which is Best? #Best Education Page #Online Earning

in this video I'm gonna be answering a

question that I've been getting quite a

bit recently and that question is what

sort of affiliate sites should I set up

should I set up a shop side or should I

set up a blog site which one's best

which ones easiest all that kind of

thing so this video is home picking on

to that question let's go

[Music]

he'll always hallux here from WP eagle I

hope you're all well thanks for watching

if you're new here why not subscribe you

can do so by clicking on the button

below make sure you click the bell to be

notified when I upload new videos which

tends to be every single week so a

couple of weeks back I put up a full

length tutorial on how to create an

Amazon affiliate website did you see it

I'll put a card up now you want to go

check that out and in that video I

create an affiliate site and it's a blog

style site it's just focused on content

it doesn't have a shop or any of that

kind of stuff going on it's just a

simple clean clear blog now it's all my

previous full length tutorials I showed

you how to create an e-commerce style

affiliate site using wasone and

WooCommerce these kind of sites allow

you to import products from Amazon using

the API they go straight into

WooCommerce and then visitors they can

add those products to a cart and then

when they check out they get redirected

to Amazon and all of those products are

automatically added to their Amazon cart

now I've had a number of people getting

touch me who have seen both of those

videos the 2018 one and the 2019 one and

they're little bit confused because now

they want to know what type of site is

best

obviously the shop site looks really

cool because you can have all these

products and it's got the cart whereas

the blog site is a bit more simplistic

and a bit cleaner so basically they're

just asking me which one's best so let's

go through a few of the pros and cons of

the different sites let's start by

talking about the e-commerce shop style

sites the ones that run whose own and

WooCommerce the advantages of having a

site like this is it's very easy to

create lots of pages of content on your

website by using the Amazon API you can

pull products down from Amazon you can

spin them using the Woo's own content

spinner so that the descriptions and

that kind of stuff is all unique and

yeah it does it pretty quickly and you

can cue up a whole load of products in

one go before you know it you've got you

know 300 pages have content on your site

now these pages they rank particularly

well on Google

very rarely page one but they do bring

you into traffic and I've got a site

boot boutique which I set up quite some

time ago not done any work on it I've

just

add a load of products and they're

synchronized everyday using the API and

the Wu's own plugin and the slight light

generates me and I 50 $60 a month as I

say without doing any work I'm not

updated it for absolutely ages just sits

there it gets traffic it generates sales

so if you're feeling particularly lazy

and you don't want to create loads of

good blog content then it might be an

option for you because I say it's really

easy to create loads of pages another

good thing about having a site like this

is they don't immediately look like an

affiliate marketing site which can turn

people off if they get to a slightly

looks a bit affiliate II a bit Sperry

people don't tend to hang around whereas

these sites they look like a proper shop

and it's actually only when you really

get to check it out that you realize

that it's an Amazon a finished height

and that you're being redirected off to

Amazon by that point of course the

visitor has been cooking with a 90 day

cookie which is actually another good

advantage of using an API you can extend

the length of the Amazon cookie however

the problem with these sites is and

we've talked about some of the

disadvantages right now is that in 2019

it's a lot harder to get on these sites

up and running and working well and

there's a few reasons for this first is

going back to Google as I say Google

they're not ranking these sites as well

as they used to so if you're not in the

right niche you could struggle to get

traffic with them purely because Google

sees them as a little bit spammy which

you know when you think about it they

kind of are because you are just taking

Amazon stuff and read publishing it so

yeah if you're not in a good niche when

I say good niche I mean a niche which

doesn't have much competition you could

struggle to get traffic the next problem

with sites like these in 2019 and this

is actually probably the biggest problem

is that amazon have changed the terms

and conditions around getting access to

their product api back in 2017 2018 it

was really easy you just register Amazon

would give you your keys and you put

them into wasone off you go but now they

won't give you access to the open right

unless you've generated free qualifying

sales and it's become a bit of a chicken

and egg situation where you can't

generate sales because you can't

actually API to set up Luzerne and do

all that kind of stuff but then you

can't get access the API because you've

not generated any sales so you

that's a big problem really because it

means you're gonna have to start

creating some more traditional content

some articles that kind of thing to

generate your sales and then request the

API and then even then once you've got

the API you have to maintain a good

level of sales via the API in order to

keep hold of it so this really is a big

problem and it has become a big headache

for a number of my viewers because

they've been in touch with me and

they've told me about it and yeah it's

just a real headache to get those API

keys and if you have got an API key then

you can't use wasone and you can't set

up a site like this anyway third problem

with having an e-commerce site like this

is that sometimes Amazon will just

randomly shut down your Amazon associate

account they'll send some generic email

outlets used to hang yeah sorry you no

longer an Amazon associate and the

reason is we don't like your site and

they pretty won't give you any more

reason than that they might say

something about hard-coded prices or or

some other rubbish but generally I get

the feeling that they're not too keen on

these type of sites because you know

let's be honest they don't and a great

deal of value not like a blog site

that's full of product reviews or how-to

guides or tutorials and they don't do

that so if you are lucky enough to get

someone at Amazon who comes to review

your site but it's not to be keen on

these stellar sites they'll just take

away your Amazon Associate account

without good reason and you'll be back

to square one again

now I've noticed this happens a lot more

on these staff sites over blog sites so

there definitely is something going on

Amazon that you know they're just not

keen on these ecommerce types of sites

so in summary an e-commerce site is good

in a way because you can quickly get

pages up and running very easy to add

content they don't look to affiliate II

they look at the e-commerce II and the

professional and all that kind of stuff

but the disadvantages are it's really

hard to get access to the Amazon API

nowadays and Amazon could just come and

shut your associate countdown for no

reason because you happen to be running

an e-commerce style site anyway let's

get on to the blog style sites and let's

have a look if these are any better so a

blog style site is a very content

focused site it's gonna be full of

articles and those articles are there to

help people make a purchase that could

be tutorials product reviews how-to

guides

let's go through some of the advantages

the first one is they're pretty easy to

set up and if you take a look at my

recent video that I mentioned at the

beginning of the video again you'll find

a link in the description and in the

cards you'll see that you get an upper

running really quickly you just need to

install WordPress add a nice basic clean

theme a little bit of tweaking here and

there and then you're ready to start

adding your content another reason why

they're easy to set up is that you don't

need access to that pesky Amazon API you

don't need it you can add all your

affiliate links using the toolbar the

site stripers amazon call it or you just

simply copy and paste your links into

your content and you do the same with

images as well

so it's really easy to add your

affiliate links no API required this

leads on to the next advantage of having

a site like this is that they're pretty

low maintenance with a shop style site

you've gotta make sure that it's

updating itself or every single night

now generally they do because they use

the API and they use what's called a

cron job to run everything one night and

synchronize all the prices and products

and all that kind of thing however if

that stops working then you can get in

trouble with Amazon game for having

out-of-date prices and out-of-date

information with a blog site you don't

need to worry about any of this as long

as you don't include any prices within

your content which you shouldn't do

anyway because that's against Amazon's

Terms of Service then you don't have to

worry about any updates to any of that

kind of thing just get your content up

and it should be pretty much good to go

for quite a while the fourth advantage

of having a site like this is that if

you choose a good niche one that doesn't

have too much competition and by the way

I've done quite a few videos on choosing

a niche and doing keyword research to

get ideas for articles and all that kind

of thing again I'll put some links in

the description area in cards if you do

choose a good niche and if you do create

some good content there is a really good

chance that your site will rank well on

Google without too much link building

and those rankings will last for quite a

while which means a nice stream of

traffic continuously for free from

Google anyway let's talk about a few of

the disadvantages of having a blog style

affiliate site the first one I'm

probably the biggest one is that you do

need to create lots of good quality

content now if you are a natural writer

this might come easy to you

for the rest of us this can be a bit of

a challenge as loads of tutorial videos

out there on how to create content and

how to do some research and how to find

good keywords in fact I've done a few

videos on those very subjects so do

check them out but still you know if

you're not a writer it's not that easy

now of course you can outsource your

article creation which is something that

I do quite a bit

I pay writers to create the content for

me and that doesn't make it a bit easier

but of course in order to do that you

didn't need some money because writers

generally do want to be paid in money so

yeah if you're not a writer and if you

haven't got much money these kind of

sites can be a little bit challenging my

next point kind of follows on from the

first one it's all around content again

and that is if you don't have much money

and you go to say a website like Fiverr

pay someone just a few dollars for some

articles you can end up with a kind of

cheap and nasty site which doesn't

really offer much value the contents not

very good and it can get even worse if

you then try and best friend monetize

the site by adding lots of Adsense and

lots of affiliate links you can end up

with a really spammy horrible looking

site now this of course has a number of

disadvantages the first one being that

Google is not a big fan of horrible

spammy affiliate type sites

second one is that Amazon is not a big

fan of horrible spamming affiliate type

sites and the third one is basically

people coming to your site they're not

gonna like it either so it's kind of a

lose-lose lose so in order for these

sites to work really well you do need to

create some good quality content and as

I said in my first point that can be a

problem that's about it when it comes to

the negatives of having a blog style

site unless you know otherwise do leave

me a comment below if you can think of

some other reasons why having a blog

style affiliate site would be a bad idea

so in conclusion in 2019 if you're

thinking of setting up an affiliate

marketing website or even an Amazon

affiliate marketing website I would go

for a blog style site the main reason

for this is the API thing I just think

it's just too much hard work to try and

get those API keys and trying to keep

Amazon happy and they're always moving

the goal posts and that type of site

you're kind of at their mercy which is

is not a good thing

so yeah go for a book style site and if

you're a good at creating content then

you could have to try and get better or

you're gonna need to find some money so

that you can employ a writer to help you

with that I'd love to hear your thoughts

on this do leave me a comment below I do

read all the comments that I get and I

will try and reply to as many as I

possibly can there's a couple of videos

that have appeared they've been chosen

especially for you I hope you enjoy them
