what's up everybody we're gonna talk
about Amazon affiliate marking marketing
and internet marketing this is the Q&A
session on Fridays I'm gonna get the
microphone real close to my mouth here
and I'm gonna open up talking about how
I got started
internet marketing some people may be a
little familiar with a story but if
you're not I'll tell you that I didn't
even know what internet marketing was a
few years ago and the reason why I
mentioned this I'm going to talk about
some of my favorite podcast episodes
from smart passive income so I think
everyone can hear me give me a shout I
see we have Wesley Santiago Marcell Arun
in fir Han and I want to thank
personally the kind moderators Marcel
Arun and for him really appreciate it
this would be a complete mess if you
weren't here so everyone say thanks and
the comments say thanks to those guys we
do appreciate it Gregg Zaun what's up
happy Friday liz is on also bringing up
the rear here and then Robbie cool so in
2013 I found the smart passive income
are a fan of the podcast or the blog
both are great he's doing a lot more on
YouTube right now to David's on I
haven't seen David on in a while and a
while Daniels on to Laura for Boston
okay so the thing is I found this
podcast and before that I am listened to
a lot of beer brewing podcast I like
beer if you start watching a few of my
videos occasionally there may be a
kegerator or a beer glass or me drinking
beer in there at some point so if you're
underage don't you know don't do that
but if you can drink you know check out
beer it's really good and I found I got
burned out on these beer podcasts so I
went over to smart passive income
learned about affiliate marketing really
got pumped
listen to every episode that I possibly
could you know actually highlight a few
they're linked in the description don't
go and click the link now check it out
later but I just want to point it out
and let's see so we have Laura Greg and
lay some eggs told me your name's
Melissa right and then many awesome ok
so I'm just gonna go over a few of the
episodes quickly so I'll say that
episodes like 15 through 17 or so were
about like passive income ideas in sort
of different routes to make passive
income now this is circa 2011 though so
this was kind of way back the idea still
hold true but it's a little bit dated
you know Pat's much better it is craft
now with podcasting another favorite
episode and I'm only picking the
highlights here another favorite episode
was number 51 that was the Tim Ferriss
podcast there so or the Tim Ferriss was
the guest and it was about it was when
he was promoting the 4-hour chef which
was great that was kind of my first
exposure to like Tim Ferriss on audio I
think and I I enjoyed it quite a bit and
I think before too long actually like
checked out his podcast and got all his
books right on that time too moving
forward this is a big one number 66 this
is niche site duel 2.0 or research
interview and talk about SEO keyword
research with Spencer Hawes and he is
the founder at Mitch pursuits so I went
over got involved in niche site duel 2.0
number one and then followed Spencer
Hawes and learned a bunch from him
Spencer is how I got into Amazon
affiliate marketing if you go to Mitch
pursuits and you search for Doug
Pennington
you'll find a few references to me on
that alright as we're going through and
I'm just gonna hit these again really
quickly so episode 92 this is room eats
80 and he blogs
I will teach you to be rich super smart
guy he has a whole suite of different
courses I've purchased a couple they're
high-end products and you know some
people don't like for me some people
really like him I really like him and
you know I like his no-nonsense attitude
in a similar fashion
derek halpern he was on episode 184
psychological strategies to get more
people to open your emails read your
copy and click on links and I have also
purchased a couple of Derek's you know
high-end products - very good both of
those guys like you know either love
them or you hate them they have strong
personalities and they do it on purpose
so I think both are good guys and their
courses are awesome and a couple more
recent some 186 how to become a
successful affiliate marketer and then
290 is affiliate marketing an insider
look at my most successful long-term
campaign so those are some episodes to
check out don't go listen to them now
wait until you finish this feed I have a
bunch of questions people sent in a very
large amount of questions I'm gonna try
to hit I'm gonna go back and forth right
I'm gonna hit some in the chat I'm gonna
get some that are in the description
because I think there's gonna be a lot
of discussion today not 100% sure but I
think there will so welcome everyone if
you're just joining up I just ran
through the episodes of smart passive
income that I really enjoy do you check
them out it's it's interesting to you
know listen back to some of the earlier
ones and then some of the later ones and
see how you know things have changed in
how things are the same so just drinking
some tea here david says every time you
listen to a live cast you feel like you
should be drinking a beer while watching
you should yeah depending on the time of
day so okay
and David
you know he has listened and followed
Pat for a while you remember the p90x
workout
I remember hearing about the p90x
workout it's kind of funny all right
so Michael has a question first question
Michael Graham says you watch the video
where I talk about the keyword golden
ratio
thanks and your question is which tool
is best to judge the keyword volume just
pick one and use it it doesn't actually
matter that much
each tool uses a different algorithm to
figure it out for example I think H refs
uses like a 30 month average so if it's
a search term that doesn't have 30
months of data it may be skewed low you
know that sort of thing and then other
tools have other methods so it turns out
the kg are the keyword golden ratio is
pretty you know foolproof it's designed
that way right so you can use just about
any tool just use one tool though don't
try to compare tools and try and figure
out which one is more accurate
no one knows so if someone tells you
that their tool is more accurate
you know I'd be super interested to see
the data where they could actually prove
it in any fashion okay so a good
question Michael and then the second one
is to have any video on how to do
effective backlink analysis on your
competitors not specifically that that's
a really good idea I would recommend
that you you know get a full like access
membership on a h reps which is very
expensive if you want to do real
backlink analysis just use h refs it's
the best way to do it and you really
can't do it any other way right I mean
if if you don't have access to the full
backlink profile then you're just
guessing and then as far as like
analysis you have so much data available
at that point you know I I would say you
have the ability to like see what links
with a domain rating the D are and H ref
so you get a really good idea at how
how powerful those backlinks are all
right Amin says do I prefer to work on a
niche and move on to a new one as soon
as possible or focus on one niche for a
long time and make sure it's successful
the former and which one do you like to
do I mean so and if you're listening to
the recording let me know in the
comments what do you like to do do you
like to work on one site and then move
on or do you prefer to you know work on
one site for a long time everyone works
differently and I kind of prefer to work
on fewer things a question that was sent
in is what is guest posting so guest
posting is when you hopefully network
with someone who has a blog and then you
ask them if you can post guest post
which is you know a guest that's you
writing on their blog and then they
publish it for you in often times
usually they link back to your site
hopefully to you know some specific page
maybe they just link to your home page
but it's a helpful way to get referral
traffic to get a backlink and just to
get your name out there right if you
have a bigger network then you're able
to get you know other guest posts in the
future right by the way if you do a
guest post on someone's site you know
and it goes well then it's it's great to
ask them hey do you know any other
blogger friends that maybe would be
interested in having me guest post if
people aren't doing that that's like one
of the easiest things to to do they they
already like you right all right and
David says
there was a time that you were listening
to like 30 marketing podcasts yeah I
know what you mean and then an OBS
recommendation would be marketing school
by Neil Patel and Eric sooo cool there I
have gone back and forth on Neil Patel
his YouTube stuff recently if he's just
talking to the camera his his attempt to
be liked tube-like project and be
assertive comes off real weird so when
he's just having a conversation with
someone cool he acts like a normal
person
but his on-camera persona is kind of
like it's like he's trying to take an
element from like Gary Vee with the
aggressive speaking and it kind of turns
me off in fact I didn't like Gary Vee
for like a few years because I was like
this dude yelling at me I am hustling
that's what I was thinking
but good recommendation David I've heard
that's a good podcast as well Duke says
you know man you mentioned you like to
work on one side for a period of time
then go back to the first and work on it
some more rinse and repeat yep that's a
good way to do it okay Isaac said how
would you change an all content homepage
like affiliate content home page to a
static one without affecting rankings
also where do you take the original
homepage concept okay so this is kind of
a deep question but I'll just answer it
if people don't understand someday you
will so Isaac number one you just move
it to like another URL right so
typically on WordPress I'm assuming you
would just change your homepage to
something else right another page you
would then that other URL your old
homepage would go to whatever URL you
wanted I would recommend something
keyword rich you know that would that
would make sense
and then without affecting rankings well
I don't know I've never done that right
so I would say when you move the content
over hopefully that new URL
the same old content is gonna start
ranking but if it if it doesn't give it
time right it's work in progress right
this is a long-term thing you're trying
to do so you may impact ranking some but
you're gonna be better off in the long
run regardless the sooner you do it the
better okay
Amin says there are some people who have
80-plus niche sites and others who have
six or seven and both are successful or
like me who has like a few right not not
even close to six I wouldn't want six in
eighty man that sounds like a nightmare
mini says how important are backlinks
very important can you rank for really
competitive terms when you post really
good content
probably not but I'm sure there are
exceptions to the rule or are backlinks
a must I would highly recommend
backlinks people don't really want to
link to a fully content right some
people don't some people will and if you
you know develop a good relationship and
you actually have like really good
content you probably can link to your
affiliate content I've been pretty
successful linking to my affiliate
content and then you know telling other
people yeah that they came to and then
once you believe that you can do it you
can you can do it so I would say like if
you have highly affiliate content and
it's kind of your more aggressive on the
sales side it may be more difficult okay
next Michael also says what do you do to
get your commercial articles ranking a
backlink strategy this is super good
question Michael there is a link to a
playlist in this description for SEO and
backlink and all that stuff so check
those out
you know don't watch it now but you know
bookmark it remember where it's at
however you keep track of these things
there's a playlist probably a couple
hours with the content
check it out take notes it's basically
what you need to know
hyhy says how about embedding youtube
videos that are not yours sure do
you don't have to get permission
basically if you like if you are looking
at my video and you see the little share
like button underneath there's an option
to embed the video when people publish
stuff on YouTube they want people to
watch it they want it to be embedded and
if they don't want it to be embedded
they can take that option outright this
is an option within YouTube so you don't
have to get permission I highly
recommend that you embed videos Barry is
on what's up in Isaac says Neil shouts a
little bit on YouTube yes yeah yeah I
think it's only when he's alone like you
said but I think he'll evolve right
obviously Neil was extremely smart a
really good marketer he knows exactly
what he's doing and I'm sure I I imagine
in a couple months
he'll dial it down right I saw a couple
comment actually several comments where
people were like kind of wondering what
was going on and Michael says what
backlink strategy would I recommend to
for a new website so Michael just be
sure you check out that playlist blog
commenting guest posting and then the
details are in the playlist okay more
questions
when should I start guest posting for my
niche sites as soon as possible
Paul wrote in and said what's the
minimum number of backlinks you should
get to your website
okay minimum number I would say like ten
or so and further Paul says does it
depend on my competition yes it also
depends on your competition what's the
minimum number I would say like you know
you shouldn't be trying to think about
things like what's the least I can get
away with doing it's kind of the wrong
mindset I know Paul you know didn't
intend that because he said what's the
minimum more like 10 or more like a
hundred so it's all about like the time
span what your goals are you know if
you're thinking hey I'm gonna work on
this thing for like five or six years
and I want to sell it for half a million
dollars well
then closer to a hundred and you have
plenty of time to work on it but if
you're thinking hey what's the minimum
number of links I can get in the next
two months
well maybe 10 is reasonable depending on
how much time and one you can put into
it so it all depends everything's
relative
everything depends on what the goal of
what you're trying to work on so if you
don't define what you're trying to do
then who knows where you're what you're
trying to do you're just moving forward
walking around that not knowing where
you're going all right Leslie says the
art of building backlinks on a
consistent basis is where your skills
are lacking and where you're focusing on
your energy cool David says do I have
any speaking engagements coming up in
2018 no you know what I haven't pursued
that at all there was a period where I
was like you know what I should try and
speak at conferences or something like
that but I haven't like gone out to do
it and I think you know actually
actually going through this content
sprint here on YouTube when I'm
publishing all this content has been
really sort of enlightening it helps me
understand what people are interested in
and the different topics that are I
guess you know that I'm interested in
too and a lot of things right if you've
watched enough of the videos you'll
notice some of the same stories come out
but I'll take like a different tiny
slice of a specific story and then talk
about it for 15 minutes versus just a
high-level overview so I'm taking
different sort of ways to look at it
okay next is David if you have any
suggestions on certain places where
maybe I could speak that would be
interesting or other people to write if
you know of smaller conferences I
haven't done any speaking at all really
so it would probably I'd definitely want
to start small I should probably do
something locally here okay Santiago
says which VPN do I recommend to make
Google search you just I don't know I
use VIPRE VPN but it's more
were like security kind of stuff but I
really don't know and by the way of
people in the comments right we're in
the chat if you happen to know the VPN
that seems to work well
feel free to recommend it I really don't
know Amin says do I believe in this link
building theory slow and steady wins the
race I don't know seems arbitrary do you
believe in it I mean it just it I don't
know what that means
that is from The Tortoise and the hare
so I'm not I'm not sure what you're
talking about exactly okay Minnie says
if you write a really good article which
has more words than all the other sites
on page one how many backlinks do you
need to rank I don't know so and Marcel
has a couple recommendations on VPN so
very good thank you for that and by the
way so I'll go back so these sometimes
questions are hard to answer because
there's no actual answer for them so let
me go back didn't mean to be flip there
so Amin says do I believe in slow and
steady wins the race
not exactly
it needs to be strategic so you can be
slow and you can be steady but it needs
to be strategic to you know make this an
alliteration the triple-s is you can
also do it fast and steady if it's
strategic so there's no real reason to
go slow you don't need to go slow unless
you're learning along the way and I know
that some sites if it's someone's like
you know third or fourth or fifth site
and they know what they're doing they
can launch a site and they could rank it
really quickly with a brand new domain
and they know where to deploy their
efforts and invest time into backlinks
or the content or whatever and they're
not wasting any time so you don't have
to go in slow you don't have to go slow
steady you can go as fast as you want
and then Minnie says for that question I
mean your theory is more words are gonna
win and how many backlinks do you need
it depends because every single keyword
phrase is different so there's no answer
to that you may not need any backlinks
or you may need 200 it just depends on
the keyword embracing wellness says when
you're writing an article in making a
video on the same topic is it okay to
have the exact title and keywords I
think so I haven't done any testing or
anything like that I think it would
probably be fine
I think it would be fine to you know
link the two together and that would
probably be the smart way to do it
nick says can I speak to exactly what
the hoth is it seems grey hat but I've
heard you talk about him before so I'm
an affiliate for the Hoth so if you use
an affiliate link from me then I get a
commission they're good guys though good
guys and gals they have really good
customer support they have a suite of
SEO services and content services now so
you can have content written by them I
think that service is like really doing
well they have some case studies on that
I believe they do the Hoth does have
grey hat SEO services but they also have
white hat SEO services too so they and I
could be a little bit off but I'm pretty
sure they started offering like gray hat
services and then they've expanded
because they had a team of people that
could do stuff so you could check them
out and see what you think Nick I know
for people that do grey hat they love
the Hoth and they will use them to get
site started I don't personally use them
for the link building activities at this
point in time but they're worth checking
out okay Barry says how does
pricing work on up work is a price
something you negotiate or does the
freelancer determine the price you
negotiate so you can like ask for I mean
you can sort of like dictate it and
that's sort of what I do so I negotiate
once I'm happy working with someone but
you know typically if I put on a trial
gig I want to hire people that will work
with me on the trial basis no I don't
lowball them or anything like that I'm
paying a fair price and stuff but
basically you're able to negotiate it's
just a free market there okay I'm going
to hop over to some of the questions
that were sent in music vial says as as
usual awesome content thanks for taking
questions so before applying today
Amazon affiliate program and getting the
first website in content and to get the
first website and content up do I write
articles without referencing ten
products or just use a standard Amazon
link without the affiliate link until
your Amazon account is approved
technically I think either one is
probably fine if I was starting I
haven't started a new site in a little
while but if I was starting a brand new
site I would probably write the articles
without like linking to specific
products or you know I wouldn't use any
images from Amazon that would violate
the Terms of Service you don't have the
copyright you know permission to do that
so I would just probably publish things
and be helpful and potentially review
products and not you know put any links
over to Amazon I think that would
probably be fine and then you can apply
and then at that point you can insert
your links I think there's a little
flexibility on that though but I
generally just get your site going first
and then you would apply James says how
do you know which niche to pull the
trigger on for your niche website are
there any criteria that you look for
when choosing yes I looked for all sorts
of criteria so how do you
which niche to choose so you want to do
keyword research and you want to do
competition analysis the thing is those
are very deep topic so I can't answer it
all right here however there is a
playlist in the description so check out
the playlist for like keyword research I
I also recommend you take a look at the
keyword to golden ratio so yeah you want
to make sure that there are keywords
that are buyers keywords that you could
rank for you need to make sure it's not
too competitive you want to see a little
competition but not too much competition
and that sort of thing there's you know
there's a lot of steps to that and I do
have a course it's called 5 figure niche
site enrollment is closed right now but
it'll open up and it'll be a little
while but basically you know that is one
of the most valuable you know few units
right so there are you know a couple
three weeks of figuring out what niche
to go for so it's not something you
could just like skip skip over really
quickly or anything or answer quickly
okay some of the other questions here
Leslie says you've seen the kgr in great
content bring in traffic but not enough
backlinking backlinking to see results
so it has you impatient to see if you're
linking right for share results
so the key thing mayor Wesley is you
need to be patient because if you let's
say you get like 10 guest posts in the
next month it may be a couple months
before things pan out and you start
getting like a big bump in rankings it
depends on many many things the
competition the age of your website and
stuff like that alright and Wesley says
have you seen backlinks alone take a
site from making a thousand a month and
double its earnings I don't know about
like specifically a thousand a month but
for example I've seen way better than
that right so if you if you add some
backlinks I mean you can like 10x the
thing that people don't understand is if
you have one let's say you have a term
Wesley this ranking I don't know
4th let's say it's ranking 4th in its a
thousand searches per month kind of term
if you go from number four to number one
your traffic may go up by like eight or
ten X so when you think about that and
then you think about you know people I
know the income school guys you know
they're like backlinking is a waste of
time and I'm only quoting there they
have a video that says stop backlinking
it's a waste of time or something like
that when you when you realize like if
you just spent a little time and tried
to get some backlinks to a post and you
could get eight or ten times more
traffic and probably like make your
revenue go up like that - I mean why not
do it I mean is it a little hard to do
and you have to figure out how to do it
yeah it turns out it's work and if you
want to do anything worthwhile like you
have to do work and all that so but if
you don't I mean if you don't want to do
work or you want to do a different type
of work perhaps your writer and you only
want to write content I can respect that
but if you knew that you can you know do
a little networking and maybe like bump
up your revenue a lot like it's probably
a good idea to check it out right all
right and Duke laid out some good
knowledge here your current experience
is it takes five weeks or more before
you see the benefits of your linking so
good to know all right
Michael Michael all right this is a good
question I'm glad you asked it you're
using long tail Pro for keyword research
and you're blown away by the low
competition I have inserted the quotes
for some of the keywords you found
especially that given the high search
volume you're talking 6600 search volume
with the KC ranging from 22 to 25
you'd like to know if that tool or if I
like that tool or if I recommend it do I
believe the data even if it's not
precisely accurate does it give a good
estimate okay here's the thing I'm going
to do because I haven't used a longtail
Pro in a few years so I'll get that out
of the way
I believe the keyword search volumes and
some of the other data is valuable I
think those are probably fine to use the
KC number I don't think is accurate and
there have there were there were times
right there were some useful there were
some useful times for the KC number I
don't think it's valid anymore and if
you see you know like you're saying it's
a KC number of 22 to 25 and I don't
think that's accurate and I mean you
could test it right I don't know but you
could test it publish something see how
it goes you know the problem with a KC
number is it gives you like a false
sense of the competition and you really
kind of have to look at the real data if
there's too many variables to summarize
it into one number at least at that
level I know I have the kgr but that is
not something that can be automated as
far as what tool to use it doesn't
matter you can use whatever tool you
want now like I mentioned I'm going to
review longtail Pro them actually gonna
take a look at a lot of keyword research
tools because I haven't gone into depth
this is a super common question as you
can imagine and you know typically I
just say you know use whatever you want
it really doesn't matter okay now I says
you love the new videos thank you and PS
don't forget to like okay so we are more
a few minutes in at this point so I'm
gonna make a little request if you liked
the video or if you enjoy what I'm
saying please like the video please hit
the thumbs up it helps other
we'll find this and you know one thing
you may notice we'll go behind the
scenes here I talked about several
people I talked about Pat Flynn Ramiz
Davey let's see who else Derek Halpern
Tim Ferriss and I was able to you know
put some of that stuff in the
description at all so I'm just curious
if like a video like this if it got a
lot of comments or likes or something
like that if it would actually like show
up on people's feeds or something like
that Q&A is a little tough these are
these are a little rambling but anyway
if I'm answering your question please
like I mean that's a good trigger just
remember like like the video if you if
you are having a question answered or
you sent one in or something like that
okay and thanks for the reminder hi
Barry says you've noticed that some of
your competitors have backlinks for
manufacturers who've products they've
reviewed and from the wire cutter how do
you get these type of backlinks is it
through outreach the wire cutter
probably happens naturally you probably
can't make that happen
and then the manufacturers yeah you
would just contact the company sometimes
the company just you know links out okay
embracing one that says your site's
fairly new but you're getting three or
four visits a day yesterday you had 87
it says referral links this seems odd
what could it be it could be like a
social well it's a couple things
someone came from another website so if
you could figure out where they came
from you know check to see where you
have a backlink but it could be like
someone shared it in Facebook someone
could have pinned it in Pinterest or you
know someone could have put a link on
their website even so yep someone's
referring traffic to you that's cool
John's on what's up Minnie says what do
I think of curated content and article
spinners so you can get so much content
really cheap can I use these services
and change the post a little bit so that
it's more unique ok Minnie
now don't do that basically in short
don't do that
and here's a rule that you could follow
and it applies to niche sites and go
ahead and apply it to the rest of your
life - if you're taking any kind of
shortcut where you're trying to get
something cheap or you're trying to copy
other people's information or content or
whatever so if you're trying to take a
shortcut it's probably not gonna work
so I would avoid it
Sharon's on what's up that's your guitar
guide folks you could check out your
guitar guy you know that's a pretty cool
site
I'll Wayne you have a question you you
recently deleted a few posts from your
site but you still see the URL ranking
even though the post related what can I
do to completely remove the URLs I think
look this up
all right I'll Wayne but I think you can
I think it's a 410 you could 410 that
URL and it tells Google that that URL is
gone all right Daniel great insight a
long tail probably now have training
videos on how to do competitor research
and backlink building it seems like
they're picking out on how unreliable
the Casey score is and to be clear it
was so innovative when it came out like
four years ago or so four or five years
ago it was great because the data was
way more accurate and though I mean the
I think the source data was more
accurate but there's so many variables
involved now that it really isn't you
know that useful um let's see
Tay says so you talked about having
passive income would you say you have a
passive income as of right now how much
how much do you make per month okay so I
don't talk about my personal income or
anything like that but I can give you
some ballparks what I say that I have
passive income I would say about half is
passive this what we're doing right now
this is so far from passive that
sometimes I lose my voice you know
that's that's how one passive this is
it's very active so I'd say about half
or so is probably fairly passive but
nothing is truly passive there is
obviously a lot of work on the front end
of most of the things that I'm working
on these Amazon affiliate niche sites or
any kind of affiliate or most affiliate
marketing where the source of the
traffic is organic SEO typically those
are front-loaded work and once you get
things set up it's pretty
straightforward right you don't have to
do a lot of upkeep you can do a lot of
upkeep but it's not purely necessary and
then tazed says how much do i make now
like I said I don't I don't share that
because that's not in my like branding
like Pat Flynn right he shares exactly
how much he's making and he publishes
income reports when I got started I was
trying to not do what everyone else was
doing exactly yeah I copied some stuff
probably but I was like you know what
I'm not gonna do you income reports or
anything like that and I haven't at all
occasionally I'll share specific case
studies for specific things but I make
more now than I did when I had my
corporate job and everyone you could
just google it right like 10 years
experience IT project manager consulting
manager like it's a pretty good salary
eBay and Shopify says if you use a blog
comment as a method for backlinks as
Google will penalize me for that not if
you do it manually if you use some
automated software then that could get
you into trouble but in general you know
blog commenting is fine take a look at
the playlist about SEO and link building
and outreach and all that stuff I talked
about it in their next cam says should I
make Amazon affiliate niche sites based
on a specific country it's totally up to
you to your choice the pro
would be potentially less competition if
it's like a smaller country perhaps you
have a competitive advantage because you
can speak you know the language that is
not English and then some of the
disadvantages is you know way fewer
people would search for those
potentially so it's a little bit
different and by the way if you're just
joining up or if I answered your
question by the way so if I just
answered a couple of questions so we got
cam Shopify tase all Wayne if you
haven't liked the video please hit the
thumbs up really appreciate it helps
other people find the video and all that
stuff next question this is from James
how can you tell if your niche is
successful if it takes six months for
traffic to really start going well this
may not be what you want to hear but you
probably number one if it takes six
months for you to get any traffic you're
probably doing something wrong you're
definitely doing something wrong
most people in the course fight for your
niche site if they work through once
they work through the first four units
they start getting traffic within a few
weeks right so it's like four to six
weeks if you work through the content
right if you if you do what you're
supposed to putting in like an hour a
day or so you should have traffic and
there are people in the chat I know that
have done this right okay and the other
the other thing is like it may take six
months right
so you just have to be patient
then the third question is is there
something to perfect or is there such
thing as something that can a site be
too professional-looking
you're thinking of a site that's too
polished that may hurt conversions sure
anything's possible I think a more
authentic site it's probably better so I
feel what you're saying James I think
that's a good point
all right
Oh Adam is on this first time on the
live stream very cool good to have you
on Adam just I'm working through the
chat so it always takes me a second to
go through all the way and says you
write mister your articles is it ok to
pay someone an up work to improve those
yes it is Robbie says hey Doug please
share how to do keyword research ok
number one this is a great question
Robbie if you look in the description
below there's a link to a playlist
that'll answer most of your keyword
research questions is there a best tool
available no there are many tools
available any of them are probably fine
David says David what's up good to have
you on there are various places that you
learn about niche sites for example I'm
the person you turn towards where do you
get my learning material who's my guide
for what for which what thing if you're
talking about niche sites and Amazon and
stuff I'm mainly I'm working from
experience at this point and then I
talked to my peers who are off the radar
they don't have blogs and stuff I do I
take a look at what really are you know
my competitors but were like all I think
I'm the cutting edge of like what we're
working on you know we each have our
different spin so again these are my
competitors but check them out right
like you can learn stuff from them too
so spencer hawes over at niche pursuits
you have the authority hacker guys
so that's Gail and mark and perón
everyone's super nice by the way and
then you have tong Tran he's a reclad
living so those are kind of the folks in
this Amazon affiliate area and everyone
does things a little bit differently I
think my project management approach is
pretty solid as far as like other like
marketing stuff I look a lot at Derek
Halpern meat safety people I referenced
before Pat Flynn and tropical mba that's
more marketing in general though versus
anything specific specific
Mohammed says did I try to replace
Amazon or with another affiliate company
if the product is the same but with a
higher Commission rate no here's why
people buy more stuff on Amazon so even
if you get you know higher Commission
rank let's say it's four times more
people will probably buy more stuff on
Amazon and a conversion rate on Amazon
is so much higher than most other like
affiliate programs that you're usually
still better off just stick up with the
Amazon not always so I encourage you to
test it you gotta test it okay
next Shay Fiat says you saw Empire
flippers marketplace in almost every
Amazon site is using a pbn is there a
way to detect your if your competitors
are hiding a pbn or not there are some
ways I haven't looked too closely in the
recent times here but the the thing is
if you check out like a drafts and
majestic you could probably find a
couple of the PB ends and then you can
sort of reverse-engineer like what
they're doing if they're hiding their
pbn and their ranking without like any
links and you see a discrepancy then
they're probably using a pbn so one way
you could try to find it is to search a
lot of PBM folks use a naked URL as
their link so you could just search for
the naked URL type links or branded type
links those are really common on PB ends
and then you could potentially find them
because it the PB ends they need to be
indexed by Google to pass the link juice
right so they're there on the Google
index so you should be able to find them
Owen says you will support the channel
appreciate it really appreciate it and
by the way this is grant we have like 55
people on and everyone's being cool
everyone thank the moderators by the way
those guys are great really appreciate
it
alright and Michael is mentioning you
using the kgr longtail Pro and a trusted
complete research on potential keywords
that's a smart way to do it and Marty
Marty says you suggest a tres or SEMS
brush they give more data and more
accurate difficulty scores agree a
hundred percent and eight reps is
looking fantastic these days they have
so many like newer tools you can really
dive deep into keyword research on edge
refs mini says our forums good for
backlinks sure can you use follow links
from a forum to rank high in Google or
do you need to pay for pbn links to rank
higher total your choice and it
completely depends on the keyword in the
competition Adam says buy traffic do you
mean anything over zero visitor yours
you know that's a callback to a question
from before so I think technically yes
but I really mean like within you know
four to six weeks you're probably
getting potentially some days you know
ten visitors fifteen visitors a day and
you can potentially make a sale on a
pretty brand new site using the keyword
golden ratio paul says hi everybody
what's up and I answered your question
earlier Paul I think or I was about to
get to it I'm still getting through all
of them here so I can't remember
and then Robbie says you're asking about
the course so it's five-figure niche
site com
it is not open for enrollment now it'll
open back up in April so you can go and
sign up for the email list there but
it's currently closed my plans for the
weekend I'm not sure it's supposed to be
cold and snowy so I think we may we may
go for a little hike though take the dog
out go for a hike and then on Sunday I
invited a couple friends over my wife
she's are in the banjo so I'm a friend
who plays guitar and I play guitar a
little bit too
one that plays mandolin so we're gonna
probably play some bluegrass we'll try
anyway the other guys were they're
pretty good all right cam says if you
want to target a specific country should
you go with the dot-com or the country
level domain I think what you should do
I don't know I've never done that but
here's how you can check and by the way
this is kind of a framework to figure
out questions that you don't know the
answer to figure out the keyword that
you want to like rank for and then
google it in your country of choice
right so in India and then see what
comes up if all of the results are dot
high-end then go with that if they're
all dot-com go with that if it's a blend
well the probably doesn't matter that
much so that again that's a framework to
if you don't know the answer to a
question and I'm not saying you
shouldn't have asked but like a lot of
stuff you just have to check so yeah all
right as we're going through and Paul
thinks are asking about my weekend plans
taste says awesome answers when it comes
to the keyword golden ratio how have you
found the results more or less traffic
did it make for a higher conversion rate
just not sure if it works or not okay
thanks for liking the video by the way
days actually what I'll do instead
because who cares what my results were
people in the chat if you've used the
keyword golden ratio tell tazed what
happened all right just let him know and
then I'll come back when I get to that
section of the chat where everyone says
what their experience is green engineer
says are your editors SEO trained no I
think one of the worst kind of people to
hire no offense to any SEO folks there
but I don't want to hire an SEO person I
know exactly what I want and I could
train someone to do it so if you have
I've here's the
try it right so you hire someone who
says they know SEO but it turns out you
don't know what they know right so they
may have learned from a bad source they
may have read a blog post from pat flynn
in 2011 next thing you know they're
doing like bad stuff to your site so the
worst kind of person you could hire no
offense SEO experts is an SEO expert
because they're gonna second-guess you
and try and tell you what's right no
offense
SEO experts so I find right in fact I
