so if you could share this on Facebook
it'll be super cool say you're on there
live say Doug's answering questions that
sort of thing so thanks Paulina for
hopping on and a meal as well so it
always takes a minute or two to get
rolling it now Paul's on from al
Pakistan nice smile it's a new day is on
as well alright and by the way again
this is just random Q&A if you have like
random questions usually about niche
sites keyword research all that stuff
location independent lifestyle as well
as digital Nomad stuff by the way I'm
gonna have a lot more interviews coming
up lately or soon right
I've been contacting people and I'm
hoping we'll get more location
independent folks just in general so I'm
excited to get rolling on that people
have liked the interviews and I
appreciate all the feedback
on that it's always good to have other
people on as well Lorraine is on what's
up good to have you on as well sweet so
I'm gonna get to the first question here
and if I remember right Ellen sent this
and so here's the question in your
recent interview with Dave Fox we
discuss difficulty integrating one link
for Amazon affiliate traffic from Great
Britain Europe Japan I was wondering if
you had any updates on this or
additional insight how the one link
option is working for other affiliates
are you hearing from others that they
started using one link and lost revenue
from US sales I haven't started to use
it yet okay so quick you know couple
definitions here to make sure people
know what we're talking about so the
Amazon 1 link I guess functionality or
plugin right is a snippet of code that
you can place on the header section of
your site it doesn't matter where you
host it so place it in the header
section of your site and Google will
geo-target for I think USA Canada and
Great Britain I think those are the ones
that they target for and basically it
reroutes them to the relevant you know
geography the relevant associates
program so yeah you do have to have an
associates account over there in the
respective country right so Canada US
Great Britain and the theory what was
that you know Dave brought this theory
to me other people mentioned it but
basically that the one link
functionality was like some for some
reason taking sales away I haven't found
that to be true I started using it as
well I removed it for a short period and
nothing really changed the thing is the
experiencing the issues and other you
know other affiliates too it's it's just
a down time it was a down time I heard
it from you know a dozen different
people sales were pretty good up until
like Labor Day and then they dipped for
like six to eight weeks now they're
picking back up
and you know I started using one link I
started getting checks from Great
Britain in Canada so I think it's
working fine I don't I think it's just
you know people are paranoid and looking
for reasons you know Dave has had
multiple times where you know he he
thought maybe the links were messed up
and he changed up some of the links on
his site instead of a short link
he put the full link and he said that
helped things but we don't know if it's
you know I don't think the URL shortner
is broken it just may have been some
other issue right so I hope that helps I
don't think you know Amazon one link is
making sales go down for us affiliates
okay next question
and by the way I see that we have I'll
just say Miz is on what's up good
question there I'll come to that in a
second and then awesome yeah keep the
questions going here and I'll get to the
ones in the chat momentarily so here's
the second question from Ellen by the
way thanks that one for sending these in
I hope I'm remembering your name right
in the past I provided some timelines
for my success mentioning the website
that had tremendous growth over 2016 and
you were wondering is that website the
one that I sold this summer with Rob and
if so how are my current sites
performing you'd love an updated
timeline particularly to the site where
I'm using the keyword golden ratio
awesome okay so I actually it is on my
list especially for these sort of like
end of December to publish a few updates
for the site right so by the way the the
site that Rob and I sold is different
than the one that had tremendous growth
with the keyword golden ratio so I'll
you know I may need to highlight that
but you know the site that made 19,000
in November and then 32,000
in December of 2016 that's the one Rob
and I sold and we sold that back in June
if you haven't heard of that it's called
Project go white hat and you could find
a 12-part series blog post on niche site
project so if you just go there you
should be able to find it pretty quick
it's called Project go white hat the
site that I covered a lot with
tremendous growth in 2016 and I'll give
you the raw number so in January of 2016
the site made $100 in December of
January or so in December of hold on let
me calm down for a second in December of
2016 the site made fourteen thousand
eight hundred dollars or so the site
continued to do well in 2017 took a dip
in earnings in general because of the
Commission rate change on March 1st of
2017 and right now traffic is at you
know record highs I've been adding a lot
of content the thing is I don't have
enough data to share yet so that's why
I've been slow to publish it and you'll
notice that I'm a person at least now
over the last couple years I'll test
hypothesis and try to get you know some
relevant case study data before I share
what I'm doing so other bloggers will
share what they're doing at the time
that they're doing it they don't know if
it works or not and then they'll come
back later and say oh by the way that
didn't work I'm having issues for XY and
Z here's how I'm trying to fix it I tell
you the stuff that works after I test it
and other people do too so that's a big
distinction I'm trying to tell you stuff
that works not my hypotheses that I'm
not sure about yet so just keep that in
mind and yeah an update will be coming
soon so by the way I see we have a
handful of people on by the way if
anyone has the ability to I mentioned it
earlier if anyone has the ability to
share this in a couple Facebook
groups that I'm associated with that
would be great I didn't have time to
before and just curious if if other
people share it if it helps at all so if
you have the ability to share it like in
the niche framework affiliate marketing
group that would be fantastic and let me
know if you do in the chat
okay so Miz asks how much money do I pay
for a thousand words about fourteen to
fifteen dollars or so the fermion UK
says I use genius links for
geo-targeting you notice they recently
added an option to uncloak links and
only process when clicked just in case
of Amazon Terms of Service violation
cool that's good to know I didn't know
they made that update genius links
they're good folks there and you know I
think you know they provide a good
service okay so Polina says someone put
in an iframe put your site in an iframe
on the site what can I do about it you
tried to contact him the email and no
response so contacted the hosting
company and file a DMCA with them and if
he doesn't respond in a few days they'll
just take a site down so and that's what
I would recommend I would maybe I would
email someone but if someone is doing
that I maybe you wouldn't even email
them because they're essentially
unethical right like why would they even
negotiate with you or listen to your
reasonable response you know so I would
just contact the hosting company what
you should do is you can use like a
reverse lookup for the domain to find
out the hosting company and that's how
you you know you track that down you may
have to you know use the IP address or
find the IP address and then go to the
hosting company but there's a path in
which you could find it it's like a
reverse domain lookup or something like
that
should just take you a few minutes in
the D dmca
is pretty fast to file - it's usually
about 10 items and if it's on an iframe
on his site then it should be no problem
they'll lock that down pretty quick Tom
what's up good to have you on and KBT
says can link building from forums and
blog commenting alone help SEO for a
niche site yeah that would help
especially if there are if there is
traffic coming from those links that's
that's kind of the Holy Grail Lorraine
says you notice that best of poster
ranking better than how to articles for
me is that a common theme with the
keyword golden ratio method or just my
niche I don't know I haven't noticed a
trend and since I don't know your niche
I'm not sure but it you know it could be
MS says do I use content builders like
thrive architect oh I'm so glad you
asked about that if yes then which one
the answer is no I hate content builders
I specifically dislike the thrive
architect as well if you look if you go
to my channel and you look up like
thrive architect and you know thrive
content builder you can hear me talk
about major issues that I've had frankly
those are slow and bloated even the very
best ones are a pain to use I haven't
used them all up granted and you really
don't need to like make things that
fancy simple is best especially if you
can execute on like getting content
written and getting links like as long
as it looks clean it should be fine
so I don't like those content builders
people end up wasting a lot of time on
that okay Ellen what's up yeah glad to
help
polina says you started your site four
months ago some people tried to contact
me and wanted to put it wanted me to put
a ling
to their site on your home page and
they'll do the same should you do it
probably not that it's okay to have like
some reciprocal links from like domain
to domain but if you both they want a
home page link from you because that's
like the best thing for them but if you
put a home page link on there their site
to your site that is a reciprocal link
and it it doesn't cancel it out but it
does look a little funny right and then
you're associated with that site
obviously they're asking a lot of other
people to do it so I would say no don't
do it smile says what theme should I use
that is is that of Amazon or others I'll
just I'm not sure what the second part
means but what theme should you use it
doesn't really matter
use whatever theme that you want there's
no best theme if someone is telling you
you should definitely use like thrive or
a beaver builder or Elementor or any of
the others which I don't even know the
name of I bet they're an affiliate right
so you have to look at the incentives of
why someone is telling you that you
should use a theme thrive is a classic
example they have some very big
affiliates people saying you know hey
you really need to use it it's the best
because of X Y Z sure they have valid
you know logical reasons that they could
you know give you but they're also
affiliates so you have to understand why
someone is saying something if you
question their incentives and why
they're telling you then it kind of they
lose credibility right is anything that
they said true so I don't know turns out
it doesn't really matter what theme you
use I suggest you use the theme that you
already have if you have one or that you
know how to use well if there's a theme
you already know how to use well go with
that
let's see y-yes what's up good to have
you on Polina says maybe I should ask to
write a guest post on my site and
they'll do one on their site instead
yeah that would be that would be better
it may be better if you just like I
don't know you could do you could trade
guest posts and that could be slightly
helpful still you're associating with a
site in which they're just asking for
homepage links and that's not the best
thing in the world I mean give it a shot
it's not gonna be like terrible if you
do it so kvt says what do I think about
301 redirects buying an expired domain
and 301 redirecting it to your niche
site are you gonna get the SEO benefits
yeah yeah that could be fine you need to
make sure you know where the domain came
from and all that stuff but sure in
theory that works that works just fine
so any any other questions out there
what's what other questions that people
have and I think I have some others on a
list here let me just pull it up so I'm
waiting for other questions miss says do
you create videos for each product
review no I don't create any videos so I
think that'd be great if I had the time
and/or resources to do it but everything
seems to be fine without creating any
videos all right
Boxey says appreciate it good to have
you on how many articles do I need to
start my site you need just ten is what
I recommend so here's a question that
I've had on the list so if you could
guest post for one site three
would you get links to different pages
or to the same page do you think linking
three times to the same page from the
same website would yield diminishing
results or what it's in a spammy signal
to Google basically I would I would take
a bit you know if you could guest post
three times from a good site I would do
that and I would say get links to
different URLs different pages if you
link to the same page it's probably not
going to be as valuable as if you link
to different pages from the same domain
alright and KBT says can you suggest a
way to beat authority site articles so
make your content you know better and
longer more thorough and then get more
backlinks than them and that should
start putting you in the right direction
you know additionally like not just you
know backlinks but better backlinks if
you can get better backlinks than what
they have then you should indeed you
know be able to get ahead there it may
take a lot of time right so it could it
could take quite a while depending on
you know what you're working on look
into the sky says how long should you
take the building a relationship before
pitching a guest post it all depends on
you know the person but you know your
suggestion of like one month is probably
pretty good I mean I think maybe you can
if you're getting good interaction with
the person over you know two to three
weeks I think you know you maybe could
pitch it sooner but it depends on the
number of touch points you have and it
depends on you know how quick they are
responding back so if it takes them a
week to get back to you each time well
then maybe a month is right but if it
takes some you know one to two days to
get back to you every time you contact
them via a blog comment or on social
media somehow or
via email if they're getting back to you
sooner then you should be able to you
know accelerate the process and look
into the sky says you just build the
relationship through blog comments no
you can I mean I think email is the
other one so you could be as complicated
as you want but blog comments then to
email is usually sort of like the
fastest route people read emails if you
wanted to write you can share their
stuff on social media and that's another
way to build you know goodwill and you
know get their attention so and very
good very good
all right let's see if I have some more
questions to get to and by the way did
anyone actually share this live stream
in the mich affiliate niche framework
affiliate group just curious if anyone
did that since we're in a bit of a lull
I'll go ahead and do it as well see if a
few people will hop on yeah did anyone
get a chance to share it for me just
curious
live experiment ok Kb
did all right nice I did too and they're
just my there's another group I could
share with real quick here since there's
a lull and the questions funny there's a
there are more questions more random
questions when I'm not taking them which
is funny so alright cool so I do have a
couple questions listed so I'll go back
to the list over here okay so here's a
question I understand that you blog
comment and this actually goes well with
a previous question I know that you
comment on blogs that I want to guest
post on and that I mentioned that a
guest post under a pseudonym do I also
blog under that pseudonym what about
when you contact them by email as under
the pseudonym so it doesn't matter right
you could do whatever you want you can
like you can use your name you can use a
pseudonym you could use you know just
the name of your website or the persona
that you've developed it doesn't really
matter that much so I mean the point is
you don't want you want to be building a
relationship and you also want to not
have like pure affiliate content on your
homepage so this is a big mistake that I
see a lot of the done-for-you sites do
that there's just affiliate content on
the home page it's very old school
that's you know what when I first
started that's what people were doing
and that was in 2013 right so we don't
do that anymore because if you approach
someone and you just have affiliate
content on your homepage then they think
you're just an affiliate marketer and
they don't care much now the thing is if
you want to you know build the
relationship it is good to have a
picture right it's good to have a name
it's good to have a strong persona on
the site and that you know that will
make a big difference in your conversion
rate okay which leads us to the next
question look into this guy says what is
my conversion rate with guest post
pitching so it depends on the campaign
right it really depends on the specific
group that you're targeting so I've done
many campaigns through like my old guest
posting service I've done campaigns
associated with Project white hat and it
ranged from you know cold outreach right
so cold outreach from you know 4% or
something like that
2 3 4 % maybe 5% to you know cold
outreach 10% of like the number of
people or the number of people that I
emailed you know 10% ended up with guest
post up - right so as I've honed my you
know sort of process and what I'm
describing the people nowadays which is
far ahead of I think what other people
are doing I've gotten it around you know
30 to 40 percent at the highest right so
that that's an exception case though so
if you're in the probably 15 to 25%
range that's really good that 30 to 40
percent
well that was high touch outreach and
that worked really well and that's what
I'm doing now right it works better
you're building a relationship with
someone you're more likely to have them
sort of share your content because they
like you versus you know randomly
sending out emails now here's the thing
I'm getting so many pitches - you know
my site my niche site and niche site
project and it's so terrible so I was
actually gonna you know do a video on
this guy from a brand right so he's like
a Content person he's an outreach
manager he sent me an email and he's
like hey I'm working on an infographic
do you want to see it and I'm like I did
ignored it right I'm like you're not
compelling me to send an email I don't
want to see a stupid infographic on like
domains right it was like the history of
domains like I don't want to see an
infographic and here's the thing I don't
want to have to send him an email to see
something that is gonna create more work
because you know what he's gonna do he's
gonna ask me to post that on my site so
here's the problem right he has like
some automated email system right so
he's sending reminder emails every three
days hey just wanted to make sure you
saw my email and I'm like you're
clogging my Inbox dude I don't even know
who you are and you're asking me for
stuff you're creating busy work for me
and it no point in any part of the
process
am I getting anything out of it he's
just kind of a jerk and he's like asking
me over and over again and here's the
thing
I even were like one of the replies back
I was like hey man I don't really have
time if it's a good infographic I'll
share stuff right I'll share it with my
audience because it sounds kind of
interesting and it's no sweat
you know I'll share it on Twitter or on
Facebook or whatever he still sent a
reply back that said hey do you do you
want to see it do want me to send it to
you and I'm like it's too much man it's
too much
so like again it's just bad outreach a
lot of people are doing really bad
outreach like that and it probably works
for certain people but I mean I
understand the if anyone hasn't read the
book influence it's very good there's a
lot of triggers that he was trying to
hit with in like from influence there's
like six sort of influence triggers that
they outlined in that book and Robert
Chi aldini again if you haven't read it
so here's the deal so he was doing a lot
of stuff that you're supposed to but if
I know the triggers then
shut it down and I'm like that guy is
really he's just trying to manipulate me
and I'm out I don't want to work with
them so okay I went on a rant
sorry about that the point is your
conversion rates will vary greatly and
it depends on the sample of like you
know basically prospects that you're
working with so if you can tighten up
your prospects at the top of the funnel
right then it'll get better
at the end so sometimes you pick good
ones you do need a test right you have
to go through and see like does this set
of bloggers respond to this type of
pitch do they want to be contacted a lot
are they active on social media do they
want emails are they savvy about link
building like what like you have to
understand how to find those prospects
ok ms/ms and Nell says should we create
tear backlinks sure that'll that that
will definitely help you Nick says
what's up good to have you on Nick does
the length of the post that you get your
backlink matter you know what I have I
usually try and match what they have on
their site first of all if they say that
I don't care then I'll probably aim
around a thousand words so it's not too
short and there's a chance like if that
post can rank for anything that is gonna
be a better link that if it doesn't rank
for anything further I've done some that
are like 2000 2500 words like pretty
long because I had a lot to say maybe a
lot of images like stuff like that
that's perfect right like if you have
something that's actually helpful like
that that's like best-case scenario I
have had a couple guest post where you
know they said I don't want anything
longer than 400 words so you have to
adhere to their guidelines but in
general I aim for like a thousand words
so
look into this guy says you've gotten
your first two guests post with the
tactics but it's slowing down now okay
so I would say look at the like look at
what was working and then figure out how
to do more of that right this is so
obvious and dumb to say but you know I
need to hear it all the time too right
so look at what's working and then do
more of that and then look at what's not
working and do less of it and then
you'll hone it and the thing is like
when I first started guest posting it
was like what you said like it did well
at first and then it got harder so and
by the way like if you I had a guest
posting service a while back and the
interesting thing that happens is people
if you do a good job they'll want to get
more links from you great the one to
work with you more and the one a
discount for bulk here's what happens it
usually gets harder to get more guest
posts the more you do for a specific
campaign because you you like have those
early prospects that maybe worked out
well and then you're starting to like go
to like the less likely the the harder
targets and you end up with an issue
because you're giving your client a
cheaper rate because they're buying in
bulk which is nice right that you don't
have to find new clients but it's also
taking more work for every single guest
post out there now if you have like a
private blog network service it's
probably fine right the effort doesn't
necessarily go up with more links your
profit just goes up and that's good but
the the math sort of falls apart I think
it's more like a real like if you if
you're starting a company and you hire a
bunch of people you're gonna have like
your efficiency is going to go down at
certain points in time like it may go up
for portions but in
hopefully people understand what I'm
talking about but let's say let's say I
hire an assistant and she's helping me
with you know five tasks and it helps me
like focus on this stuff that only I
could do
perfect right that's a smart idea I'm
literally doing that right now and the
cool part is like the total output is
probably gonna go up but once I add like
three or four people all of a sudden I'm
spending more time managing the people
and there's more interaction right it's
a network system right there's more
interaction there's more connection
points more conversations going on
efficiency will go down probably at
three to four people I've heard this
like it's like every time it it turns
turns over by three so and like three
people and then like in ten people
you'll have another issue and then at 30
and then 90 and so on so it's sort of
one of those sort of thresholds where
like the system like once you tighten it
up it starts growing again and then at
some point there's too many interactions
and it's really tough to make it work
it's probably in a book somewhere I
don't remember what book it's in okay
next question
boxy says should I pass affiliate links
through a go or out page does it matter
it doesn't matter
Tiana's on what's up good to have you on
Brianna thanks for initiating the live
Q&A you'd mentioned the images we have
to use the site stripe however I saw a
video about top ten reviews and it
doesn't seem to so you don't have to use
a site stripe you just have to you have
to use either the site stripe or some
tool that uses the Amazon API to pull
the images so you don't have to use a
site stripe additionally you shouldn't
ever look at what someone else is doing
on their site and assume it's correct
so top 10 reviews right top 10 reviews
or the wire cutter or fill-in-the-blank
other site they could be using a hole
they're operating under a different
operating agreement at different Terms
of Service you shouldn't assume that
everyone has the same rules as you or if
you just find some random site and you
see they're pulling images from all over
the web that doesn't mean that they're
complying with the Terms of Service it
just means they're getting away with it
and I would suggest like following the
Terms of Service you know Amazon is
great the associates program is great
there are certain rules we need to
follow and I recommend that you follow
them it's risky not to you can get away
with lots of stuff but you know that's
not how I operate
anika is on what's up good to have you
so Brandon dog says it doesn't seem to
be using the site stripe images the
Amazon site stripe images are not
high-resolution so they may not be
attractive to the audience and even is
on what's up good to have you on as well
haven't heard from you in a while buddy
so they you know I partially answered it
in Brandon dogs so they could also write
they could also have permission to use
images from the manufacturer right so
this is all a copyright problem amazon
can't give you the copyright you know
allowance I'm not sure if that's the
right word they can't allow you they
can't give you the permission because
they don't own all the images that are
placed on their site so as far as the
resolution yeah if you want larger
resolution images what you can do is use
one of the Amazon or sorry one of the
tools or plugins that uses the Amazon
API and then you could place the images
that way personally I don't think it's
that important so I I do I will say I do
have experience
and running sites that make a lot of
money and selling sites to make a lot of
money the images matter less than you
think so
I understand your concern about being
attractive to the audience but I think
there's a lot of other things that
matter more yeah
images do matter but you don't have to
have the image of the specific product
right if they want to see the image they
can go to Amazon and see the image and
that's actually a good call-to-action
see a larger image at Amazon that's a
good idea right okay
next KBT says this traffic spike after a
few months for a new domain well maybe
maybe not it depends on what you do
right so it's not going to magically
work or anything like that but if you do
a lot of if it's not magic going to
spike if you don't do anything but if
you do a lot of work then traffic can go
up over time
woody Len says what are my predictions
for SEO and 2018 very broad question I
would say that like I went on my small
rant earlier about bad guest posting
pitches I think high-touch I looked for
people to take my term and say hi touch
you know guest posting high touch
outreach is going to be where you know
people are moving it takes longer the
results are going to be better because
it is defensible right so if someone
looks at the backlink profile and it's a
lot of free you know link sources a lot
of like say directories or places where
we could just you know pay a few bucks
and have your site listed there it's not
going to be as valuable because other
people can go and do it if you could get
links that took time networking an
effort on your end especially ones like
imagine if you put in you know if it
takes three weeks or six weeks to get a
guest post and you do that like 18 times
five times the amount of effort will
just it'll make your competition not
want to do that right they'll just give
up so this kind of what I'm looking at
additionally I mean I'm not I actually
don't read a lot of SEO blogs for you
know this there's a lot of noise right
again
like I mentioned before a lot of people
will showcase a say case study where
they did something one time and then
they'll you know say that that is going
to you know work all the time where the
their example is really just an outlier
it's not gonna happen all the time
so other predictions I don't know if
there's gonna be you know another sort
of PB n shakedown but I would say you
know the people that stuck with PB ends
over the twenty thirteen and fourteen
timeframe I think you know they cleaned
up any you know issues that they had and
they were eight like there they were
able to you know cover up the footprint
well that said I do know there are you
know some big networks out there again
however they're probably so segmented
that it's hard to connect them together
so if a portion of a network went down
it probably is only like one segment and
it won't impact the entire network I
don't know though I mean like if
Google's smart if they wanted to they
could shake up a network and you know
probably put two or I'm just making this
up right I have no idea I was gonna say
if they put you know two or three
engineers on it to dissect the network
like they probably could make it work
right i mean they could they could
figure it out dissect the network in
infiltrate i mean there's a couple big
networks like i said that i know of what
if there were a couple like undercover
like google people right and over nine
months they were buying links on various
networks that were
mented well so that they could get a
bigger footprint hey that's a great idea
right like they could just go buy links
for you know several months and then
shake that whole network up okay next
question
Braille dog says you looked at the
keyword golden ratio you're dominating
search results for certain longtail
keywords which have a hundred pages per
month I think 100 searches per month but
no one seems to be buying with just a
hundred heads okay so that's just a
statement I guess no question and Nick
mentions that user engagement metrics
yeah good call time on page and page
views are becoming more important yeah I
would think so too yeah good call Nick
and you know what I usually maybe I
should you know that's a good like
predictions for SEO predictions for
niche sites maybe I will put that on my
list to think about 2018
okay um quick question I see we have
like about 20 people on not not as many
as we were getting a couple weeks ago
I'll have to more effectively share
these and let people know maybe send out
an email and see what happens quick
question how many people like listen to
podcast often I am you've heard me
multiple times say hey I'm thinking of
doing a podcast how many people would be
actually interested in podcast big
consumers of podcast two here you know
me you know one interview people to you
know talk to my friends about location
independent lifestyle working for
themselves that sort of thing plus the
occasional just ramped of my own
and just random stuff just curious how
many people of the like 20 folks on
would be interested in a podcast if I
had one kids Lu says if I have a target
to get $3,000 income from Amazon which
kind of products that you like to sell
okay so I think you're asking which
products the ones that have a price of
twenty dollars or six hundred dollars
with a new niche site okay
I would probably if you if those are my
only two choices I would probably go for
the twenty dollar item however I would
probably look for a set of products
within a niche that has a price range
between twenty and six hundred with a
sweet spot being about a hundred so I
would probably go for neither of the
options that you provided me but
somewhere in the middle okay brown dog
says most of your traffic comes from
Facebook groups so that just shows you
that the traffic is from Facebook is
there any way to find out which group is
giving more traffic oh I don't think so
not that I know of you would maybe have
to I'm trying to think how I would do it
I would probably if you have an email
list which I don't know if you do but if
you have an email list I would just
email individuals and say like hey what
facebook groups are you into and see if
you see a trend and I bet you could
figure it out that way okay next is
Wesley is mentioning I'll bring in a lot
of listeners with podcast cool I do
think that's true if I do it you'll
recommend getting set up on Alexis's
that's where people's attention is going
to okay
interesting interesting um Bram bug says
to my comment about podcast interviews
are useful as it shows the human side if
I talk more about failures it would be
good cool yeah I do try to highlight
like that part in some of the interviews
not all but some of the interviews and
then for myself I think I actually
mentioned that stuff fairly often so
good good insight and I think I realized
that a lot of people they say only watch
YouTube like currently I'm watching more
YouTube because I'm at the gym where I
have Wi-Fi and I can like watch like
YouTube videos and it's you know fairly
quick little mindless kind of distracts
me a little bit which is nice in the gym
I used to listen to a lot more podcast
while I was outside walking but now most
of the time probably like 80 to 90% of
the time I actually just enjoy going out
walking versus like listening to too
many podcasts interesting sometimes but
it has to be just the right you know
sort of content and if I don't like a
podcast I used to you know listen
through the whole thing just to get
closure now I'll just I'll delete him
like I don't care like I don't have time
to listen to new stuff KBT says you saw
someone posted on Facebook that he was
getting traffic from Pinterest what do I
think of Pinterest traffic are they
worth while do they convert
I think Pinterest can be great right you
can get a huge amount of traffic if you
are if you like the Pinterest ecosystem
it can be great because you're not gonna
act
I mean it's rare do you accidentally do
really well on Pinterest it takes work
just like anything else there's a whole
SEO side to Pinterest as well is it
worth it do they convert that I'm not
sure I don't have first-hand knowledge
but I know some of my friends are very
big on Pinterest with like hundreds of
thousands of followers and again it
takes work it took years to build up
such a following and I know that if
you're just comparing like pure SEO
organic traffic targeted traffic from
Google versus Pinterest traffic
Pinterest is not going to convert as
well like you're gonna have a higher
conversion rate from the organic SEO
in general people are not on Pinterest
to shop in general some people are but
in general Ellen says you would listen
to the podcast but if it's the same
content that I'm on youtube then you're
fine consuming it through YouTube okay
cool and I think I am I am trying to
figure out the best way to like
repurpose content so I think they were
like the interviews in a lot of ways
would be like very transferable over to
a podcast if I'm doing a site breakdown
obviously that's not going to become a
compile
the other part is I have a lot of you
know written content on niche site
project where I could you know repurpose
it into a pretty nice like series of
podcasts right so for example link
building right I could do a you know six
step link building plan where I have
written content on that I have a video
on that maybe multiple videos on that
and I could put it into you know a
podcast series of six episodes that are
bite-sized where it would be a little
bit different and of course I you know
my thought is to have those as evergreen
as possible you know without having to
you know redo episodes in the future and
that sort of thing
and eveness says a podcast as good as
long as it's highly focused on one topic
okay good to know and Wesley says what I
do podcast live there's a growing market
on twitch check out the live site or the
live chat category you know what I
hadn't thought of doing them live but
potentially right there the cool part
about doing these live sessions is the
production time ahead of time is low ish
right so they are better if say I have a
set of questions if I thought about what
I was gonna say beforehand you know this
particular session took a little while
to get rolling there were fewer
questions in the beginning it would have
been better if I did a little more
production ahead of time instead of just
rolling up and starting to talk but live
is cool because you also get interaction
like this but then there's also you know
the fact that it's people will accept
more flaws in the live version versus if
I do like real podcast episodes it needs
to be tighter so Matthew says one of my
keyword golden ratio post that was
earning dropped from the third page
after a month you added two thousand
words and now it's back in the top three
I was right awesome I always love to
hear that yeah so just be patient and a
lot of times if you just add more
content even if you just do some blog
commenting where it's not like really
awesome like do follow links like it
will be really you know effective right
it may not be fast and if you just be
patient it should work out okay tejana
says youtube for you mostly you agree
with EDA okay cool
um John what's up good to have you on
you know the podcast sort of idea I
haven't talked about Noah Kagan in a
while but he's doing a really good job
repurposing content so he may do a you
know a full interview on YouTube and
then he'll pull certain set or someone
will pull certain segments to turn it
into a podcast episode and then someone
will draft that into a blog post so some
people only read some people only listen
to podcast and some people watch youtube
video some do all three right the the
big fans right the superfans will
consume them all and there's a little
bit it's not always the same exact
content with a blog post you can be a
little bit more verbose with like step
by step items and sometimes you know if
it's a how-to or some sort of tutorial
it may be great in the written word like
that or as a video terrible as a podcast
right and some podcast interviews would
be pretty boring as a blog post right so
you you have to well one has to
understand like what works best for
certain areas and I would try to
repurpose as much as possible okay as
far as the podcast idea you'd like to
hear about how people struggle at the
beginning like how much they have to
spend to start their first site what
should be avoided and so on Braddock
says about the Facebook groups is there
a technique where I can share URL with a
different token on groups and when they
use it I could direct them to the main
URL yeah you can just do like bitly link
so if you there's a bunch of like link
shortening services out there so if
you're actually sharing them then yep
you can indeed just like place them so
you could track so yeah you could do
that the key
this is the first time watching live
awesome thanks for joining in glad to
have you and thanks about the other
videos let me know if you have any
questions Nikita Wesley says to look at
open broadcast software for going alive
I could do overlays images on these live
videos an easy way to overlay my web URL
or frequently asked questions cool if
you um yeah if you send me an email
Wesley about like what to even look at
I'm sort of overloaded with things that
I should do right like there's tons of
stuff that I should do and you know when
I step back my I should probably be
working on you know doing better
building my email list not doing
overlays and images on these videos so
like it could raise the production value
but for me right now it's probably
better I mean if if anyone has been
