think you can hear me so it's a good
thing this video is just to solicit
questions for Nick loper of side hustle
nation I'm gonna be doing a series on
side hustles and freelancing coming up
soon I'm gonna kick it off with Nick
starting next week Nick and I have known
each other since I got started online
basically he was actually one of the big
influences for me when I got started
back in 2013 be on the show shortly
after I found the smart passive income
podcast and Nick has been just crushing
it and growing and growing more and more
as he's progressed in his career as a
you know not even a scientist or he's
doing this stuff full-time but he has
many different projects please leave a
question in the comments for you know
what you want me to ask Nick I have some
stuff I want to ask him too but like I
said we'll be kicking off this sort of
side hustle series so I'm out there
trying to find other you know youtubers
I'm trying to find podcasters bloggers
whatever that are doing a side hustle of
some kind and I'm in an interview and
put them on the channel looking at you
know just slightly different topic but
the thing is there's a ton of different
ways that you can make money online and
there's a ton of different side hustles
that you can do so that is the main
content for this video right here but I
haven't even opened the beer yet so what
I'm enjoying today is a new Belgian New
Belgium triple and this is kind of my
like go-to super easy to get triple this
is a Belgian style beers out of Fort
Collins Colorado we have mark on by the
way in alway and a few other folks looks
like a smaller group in this happy hour
time frame and then I have my trusty
West small or vest small chalice right
here West Mall great beer a little
harder to get in in these parts where
I'm at
so we got this one is pretty close by
that I'm gonna drink instead and I think
I'm just gonna tell tell some stories
while we're just chilling out because
why not that's what we can do Jesse's on
how's it going
quick reminder I am doing the normal Q&A
on Fridays all right
normal Q&A on Friday which is tomorrow
I'm gonna do it at 10:00 a.m. so be sure
if you're not subscribed be sure to
subscribe click the bell notification or
mark your calendar or you know write it
on your arm or something with a sharpie
whatever you need to do to help help you
remember
all right Duncan says with only $70 can
I start a scalable affiliate gig like
with Clickbank seventy bucks it's kind
of a little bit short
are you a brand new marketer just
looking to get started Duncan cheers
everyone if you don't have a drinking
anything that's cool just cheers anyway
so here's the deal Duncan seventy bucks
you're gonna be cutting it a little bit
short but you get started yeah you need
to pay for hosting most likely and
Clickbank I would probably avoid off the
off the bat there are some products that
you can offer there's products you can
recommend you can make you know a high
percentage of a commission rate however
there's gonna be more competition and
there's gonna be some people that have
like a much larger budget than you I'm
just gonna tell tell you how it is right
they're gonna have a bigger budget than
you there'll be more experienced and
they will be reinvesting their profits
so if you find like a great product and
you're like hey I want to offer this
software product it's has really high
gravity people love the product it has a
good payout the affiliates like it the
customers like it everything's great its
profitable right so that means they're
people
ahead of you and it's gonna be a little
bit tough for a brand new person to like
claw your way up that said there are
many other options you can get started
with like just straight up you know
blogging content you can go to YouTube
for example like I'm doing you can
create videos there but my biggest
recommendation for you Duncan maybe save
up a little bit more save up until you
maybe double that it'll give you a
little bit more you know cushion a
little bit more to invest so you're not
watching it as closely and then over
time you're gonna learn new skills you
will definitely 100% make mistakes but
that's okay
trying to make the same mistakes over
and over again and you'll be okay as
long as you don't keep making the same
mistakes again and again and you're
persistent eventually you'll make it
work and you know if I could recommend
the keyword golden ratio Duncan if
you're brand new check out the keyword
golden ratio I think you'll be your mind
will be blown it's a it's an advanced
keyword research technique and it's a
way that you could find keywords that
are underserved on the internet and
usually that means you're gonna rank
faster if you check out some of the
videos on my channel dunk and you'll see
sub and videos in fact there's a whole
playlist of both like success stories
how to do it and all that stuff so check
that stuff out Duncan take your time
this is a very long ultra marathon not a
sprint
don't try and get in a hurry just be
patient Thomas how's it going good to
have you on and I see I left the the
light on behind me so that's quite shiny
it's hard to get a hard to get that
shine coming through let me turn that
off you're alright now
just it's too bright in here this new
webcam is just so good in low light it
makes me look like a ghost
all right a couple little stories that
could I could tell so my wife told me
that I had like a nightmare a couple
nights ago she said I was like breathing
really hard and then I like like sort of
screamed or yelped or something like
that and it sounded like really sad and
scary she like Rihanna she said I like
breathes hard like close to the
microphone and then I like screamed like
that like she said it was so sad and
pathetic I didn't say anything and then
I think I just fell asleep I don't know
I don't remember any dream that I had I
actually slept pretty good felt really
refreshed the next day I don't know what
it was but every now and then I think
maybe like twice a year I'll let out
like a little Yelp while I'm sleeping I
don't know what's going on with that by
the way I'm only going till the top of
the hour so 20 more minutes if you're
just tuning in thanks for hopping on I'm
doing the live Q&A tomorrow so be sure
to check that out you know
watch the replay whatever don't forget
Niccolo per side hustle nation leave
your questions in the comments I'll come
back and check the job before I
interview him next week all right all
Wayne mentions that Dave Fox is having
low affiliate income hold on his income
for the summer is that its worst am i
experiencing anything on my end no not
specifically fortunately my traffic is
growing a little bit you know each week
it's going up like half a percent or two
percent or it's real slow like if you
just look at one month it looks like
nothing's happening but if you zoom out
it's a nice little growth trajectory now
the thing is Dave and I do things much
differently so I have a lot more content
I'm doing a lot of other things the Dave
it's not part of his practice or
anything you know everybody's different
so you
keep that in mind Dave's doing something
a little bit different than I am and you
know traffic earnings seem to be okay
can't get this light in place
Wesley's on how's it going and Jesse
says you have a site that was getting a
dozen at least oh sorry one Amazon sale
per day for the last 60 days suddenly
you're getting the same amount of clicks
for the past week but no purchases any
idea what may cause that okay so first
off Jesse I believe your data set is too
small to draw any conclusions so if
you're only making one sale per day even
though it's quite consistent for 60 days
that is quite a low you know amount my
and actually to all Wayne's point a lot
of times summer is a lower period but my
graphic is growing in general on all my
sites so that sort of covers up this
issue but the reason why is people just
finished vacation schools just getting
started for some places in the US and
there's some other stuff going on so
people are tending to maybe like not
spend as much over the summer and then
when the fall hits you know it's
depending on the niche you know things
could go up things could go down by the
way if anybody Siemens on their sites
feel free to mention what you know you
see as far as what could be happening
one purchase per day I have no idea man
really hard to say I would check the
traffic on the pages and make sure that
like you're getting the same amount of
traffic that you had been getting you're
getting the same traffic to the same
pages which we're making the sales that
sort of thing just look at the data and
see what you can figure out and again
Jesse you're saying Amazon said no
issues on there and yeah I would believe
that and the thing is you know you're
probably I don't know how many visitors
you're getting per day but the data set
is just way too small to make
conclusions Tom
says Oh Duncan mentioned I loved it
kindly leave a link to the same in here
so you could follow my candid advice
cool if anyone wants to search around
for whatever link I don't know when I
mentioned I don't remember but Duncan if
you go to my like main channel page
there's like a search bar and you can
just type in basically any question you
have with like whatever you think
affiliate marketing any questions you
have with affiliate marketing probably
answered it in some form additionally I
have site project so you can search all
the blog posts there there's tons of
there alright next Thomas says does
my review style content outperform your
informational content what do you mean
by outperform do you mean like the
amount of traffic do you mean the
revenue or well those are the only two
things I could think of and I would say
well if we're talking about traffic I
think in both cases my review style
content outperforms the informational
however is probably pretty close oh yeah
by far Thomas revenue anything that is a
buyer keyword anything that's like
oriented towards sales just crushes
everything else so the informational of
course you can recommend products
because you know the pain point the
person is trying to you know solve but
at the end of the day right the buyers
keywords are gonna prevail feel free if
you're watching the you know if you're
watching this live in the chat what
what's your preferred beverage whether
it's beer or wine or you get real
specific if you want I'm a connoisseur
of all sorts of alcoholic beverages II
drink vodka every now and then I've had
some rough days with tequila but I've
never been one to swear off anything I
don't know if that's good or bad but ya
had some rough days with with
everything everything that I may consume
but I would never swear anything off
everything has its place yeah drink
these perhaps some would say the snooty
beers but I also I think there's a place
for a Bud Light or a buzz Budweiser or
whatever so cool all right make says
with a hundred euros can I start Adsense
arbitrage I'm not a hundred percent sure
what that is but using the clues of the
context of your question I'm gonna say a
person could the answer's no you're
gonna like flow your money and it
probably won't be a good rap so I would
recommend probably not doing that and I
would caution you if someone is telling
you that you can do it but they're also
trying to sell you either a tool or a
service or a course I wouldn't trust
them basically all right Josh what's up
good to see you buddy
can you find a bunch of kgr keywords
that aren't buyers keywords and then add
best to them as long as the ratios are
the same potentially it's usually best
it's usually best Josh to like find the
buyers keywords because of the
competition so what's gonna happen I'll
just use an example that is really
relevant right now so best triple for a
new beer drinker all right we'll just
make that up
best triple for a new beer drinker if
you look at the search results for the
keyword with best and then you look for
the search for results for the one that
doesn't have best well you will probably
find 90% of the time I just made up
that's that the keyword
phrase without best in it will often
have e-commerce results and those are
gonna be tougher to compete with so that
said you should probably you know make
sure you have best in there or some
buyers keywords and Josh is actually
someone that a little bit so Josh feel
free to send me an email if you need
clarification and I just thought of a
great set of keywords that'll be
fantastic for what you're working on
it's versus so product X versus product
Y and you can I've heard this works well
like product X versus product Y versus
product Z all in the same post and then
you capture like two of the keywords
Josh does that seem like a good idea I
mean I think that I don't even know all
the you know different kind of products
that are out there and stuff but I
imagine that has to be like really good
and always says Jack Daniels nice nice
Josh says bourbon Woodford Reserve
fantastic one of my favorites I usually
like my date I call it and I call it the
daily drinker but we don't drink it
everyday but makers is you know right on
for you know something that you can
drink neat pretty solid of course you
can mix it with stuff but we usually I
mean do you like all Wayne Josh do you
drink stuff neat I guess depending on
your location you want it a little bit
chilled so I mean you don't want it to
be drinking like hot bourbon or anything
I mean I'm thinking probably in the
cellar temperature range is like what
you want to have but yeah yeah I'm
thinking where does that like 50 degrees
48 degrees something like that alright
okay we got about 12 minutes left this
is when my wife will get home and then I
have to go alright but don't forget
tomorrow I'm doing a live stream so you
can come back tomorrow don't forget
leave questions for so I can ask them
next week so echo asks or do we get
images for my sites without copyright
infringement so number one
use images from the Amazon site stripe
it's very important to get the images
from Amazon in the right way you have to
use the Amazon API you can't just
download the images put it on your
website there are certain tools that
don't necessarily do it properly so you
need to make sure that you're not
keeping a local copy on your site and
there's a I don't have the link handy
cuz you know the way this thing is set
up here but basically if you go to a
niche site project.com slash FAQ
frequently asked questions you'll see I
talked about images and then there's a
you know a few places you can get free
images additionally if you had an
initial side project calm slash
resources I list out I think seven
sources of like free like royalty free
free free and non attribution Type image
repositories or sources or whatever
alright hopefully that was helpful and
Thomas is asking number seven in
reference to the Jack
I believe Duncan says I'm helpful Thanks
cool all right and oh yeah Josh so cool
it sounds like the vs. will be fantastic
and by the way for for niches out there
basically if there's a lot of products
out there vs. are fantastic that are
sort of hidden you have to like be
really deep those are really good buyers
keywords because it means someone has
done enough research to know the
products to compare and they're just
looking at the minut details a lot of
times they'll be real really similar
sometimes within the same product line
in fact I was trying to find like new
running shoes the other day there are a
couple like pretty slick sites out there
where you can compare like I don't know
if the stuff that runners care about and
filter and stuff like that and I was
looking at like Brooks
like I don't never remember the name
like Brooks motto 5 vs. model 6 versus
model 7 and it's like you know they're
just slightly different you know
releases of the same shoe over and over
again a right and oh and Josh says the
Bourbon ball ice cubes yes we have one
of those little molds now Josh have you
been to one of the places where they
have like the copper like melting
apparatus so a quick little story
because that's what we do
are you familiar Josh with oh and
everyone else but this
I feel like Josh maybe you've been to
Estes Park Colorado anybody been desta's
Park Colorado is near the Rocky Mountain
National Park and it's a bit like I
think it's about 70 it's about 8,000
feet up there so high elevation I lived
there for a couple summers back in
college the cool thing about Estes Park
is the Stanley Hotel so the Stanley
Hotel is where Stephen King stayed while
he was inspired to write the shining I'm
sure a lot of people remember the
shining the movie right had Jack
Nicholson it was directed by Stanley
Kubrick iconic movie just bananas a
really good movie I remember watching
him when I was a kid I didn't really
understand much of it but the Stanley
Hotel really cool it's supposedly like
haunted my wife and I in our late dog
stayed there and we went down why is
this relevant right with the relevant
right what the hell am I talking about
we went down to the bar of the Stanley
Hotel to have dinner because we were
staying there I'm over over the like
wintertime it's pretty chilly up there
8,000 feet so we went down to the bar
which is actually a like really legit
like whiskey bar so they have all sorts
of whiskey's Bourbons like Irish
whiskeys
they have scotches all sorts of Scot
and it was fantastic but that was the
first place that we saw they got a you
know big like cube of ice and then they
put it into this copper mold that like
melted it down copper is a great
conductor so it melted the ice and they
actually used like distilled water
they froze the ice in a very specific
way so that it would be like free of any
sort of like opaque anything in there
and and it was like super clear like
really awesome distilled ice cubes and
it was a perfect sphere that was why I'm
telling you this and because it was made
of copper and because it was like a
fancy like ice mold melter situation
those molds were like I don't know $1700
or something like that I don't remember
so anyway what am I even talking about
all right
Duncan says you're watching and Kenya
it's 1:00 a.m. they're cool you'll love
some Jack and Coke that's a good mix
that's a good mix there all right
Lorraine says hi Doug I use SERP lab and
some of your keywords RNA even though
their index does sir plop find sometimes
sir plop does finds them sometimes but
most of the time they're n/a what do I
think the problem is so it probably
means that it's not ranking in the top
250 that is part of the reason the 250
is in the formula that's kind of like
the threshold that most tools look at
and as far as the problem I have no idea
there are far too many variables in why
your site may or may not rank to know
Lorraine I know you've been around the
block I've seen you on live streams for
almost a year so thanks for the support
however and because of that I think I
know that you're using the keyword
golden ratio now why are they not
showing up it could be a lot of things
could be
bad keyword could be competition could
be keyword density could be something
wrong with your domain it could be you
have too many affiliate posts it could
be that the competition is just really
hard for the keywords that you found who
knows it's really hard to troubleshoot
something like that so I'm not sure any
other questions don't forget you know
once we finish this baby up leave a
comment here let me know if you have
questions for Nick good guy he has I
think he's coming up on like 300
episodes for his podcast he has really
excellent content on his blog as well
and just smart guy very nice guy
like I said I'm met up with him and made
his acquaintance back when I first got
started I was actually I was on the show
back in the day when I did gray hat and
I was there
unfortunately for private blog networks
which I don't recommend anymore and that
sort of thing but I was on the show I
forgot to mention that I was on side
hustle nation or the side hustle show
and you know Nick's a great guy so I'm
gonna interview him all right
and Justin what's up good to have you on
buddy
I'm do I pry or a tie site load speed I
do my best so as far as probably word
sizing it I try not to you know waste
too much time on it but a couple things
you want to make sure justin is a
student of five-figure a niche site so
it kind of have like some background
information excuse me drinking beer will
make you burp sometimes it's just that's
how it goes so pardon me Justin so right
now you're not getting a ton of traffic
so you know if you are if your site's
loading in the I don't know about five
second range that's probably okay
ideally you want to be loading I can't
remember the exact number but I think
it's like either three seconds or 2.8
seconds if you load under that amount of
time
we'll just say three if you load under
three seconds you're loading faster than
half of the websites on the internet
that's good you don't want to make
people wait too long so a couple things
that you can do is to make sure that
you're not uploading like huge images
you know you'll want to I guess like
lower lowered the resolution has needed
depending on where you're placing the
image and then you'll want to like down
down scale the quality I'm not sure the
right term but make the quality a little
bit less just so it'll load a little bit
faster all right so a couple things
aside from that you don't need to
upgrade your hosting yet I think once
you get to somewhere around maybe like
200 to 400 visitors per day you may look
to upgrade your hosting to something a
little bit more I'll call it semi
dedicated every hosting company calls it
something different but the idea is
you're getting off shared hosting and
you're going to a server that has fewer
web sites on it the more sites that are
on there just the slower it's going to
go and you know it's fine as you're
getting started but as soon as you start
growing a little bit again 200 to 400
visitors per day you're gonna want to
upgrade a little bit and then I believe
the next threshold is somewhere between
like a thousand and fifteen hundred or
so give or take and you'll maybe want to
upgrade again all right and each point
it's probably gonna cost you about for
the shared hosting about five dollars a
month as you go up to the next level
it's gonna be about twenty-five dollars
a month then you go up again
at that point you're gonna be able to
handle you know say fifteen hundred four
thousand visitors a day or five thousand
visitors a day it's probably gonna cost
you about a hundred one hundred
twenty-five bucks hundred
the box depending on where you're you
know hosting your site and a couple of
the other details
I find that SiteGround is you know where
I
I appreciate the service seems fast that
have been burned a couple times and you
I think you'll find this what happens so
everything's cool with a hosting company
I was with a certain big hosting company
for a while I'm retesting them again but
basically I was unable to get support
and fast enough for what I thought I
should be getting so I left and you'll
hear that story over and over again
where everything's cool for a while
people recommend a company and then they
won't be able to get support and they're
like f it I'm going somewhere else so
they bounced they go to another company
and everything's cool maybe they upgrade
hosting at that point too and then maybe
something else happens and then but I
mean it's kind of like changing like
your insurance company or changing your
cable company or whatever like it's kind
of a pain in the butt so people don't do
it often unless there's like some
precipitating event all right there was
a long answer to a short question
couple and I'll just hit these other
questions that people asked and then I
got a balance all right Laureen says I
do use the kgr and most of your posts
are ranking pretty well I guess you'll
have to figure out what's going on with
the rest actually it'll write what I
recommend is if something's not working
like maybe do a little quick analysis so
that you don't make that mistake again
but you just ignore it
don't try to if something is not ranking
at all just move on find more keywords
publish more stuff not everything is
gonna work so I recommend don't trying
to push the boulder uphill you find
something that's you know it's the
snowball that's rolling down the hill
and you you know you push that it's
gonna be far more effective if you're
not ranking at all if you're getting an
na like those were bad keywords or
there's some mistake made you know check
your keyword density stuff like that but
just move on don't don't try and fix
something that's not sure
at all Thomas says Mitch sites are we
concerned with repeat visitors or is
that an afterthought no you're not
concerned with them at all is that even
an afterthought
you shouldn't even care when you see the
number of searches for example I'm just
making it up best triple for new beer
drinkers right to stick with the one
that I came up with
I'm completely unoriginal it's just
because I'm drinking one right now so
Thomas that's the number of people like
the search volume is the number of
people that are searching for it each
month so because the population in well
most people target the US because the
Amazon ecosystem is just bigger in the
US right so there's new people searching
for whatever keyword you're looking at
each month so it's fine you don't have
to worry about it you don't need to
build an email list you can do those
things but if you're just getting
started and I can tell Thomas you're
more in the beginner side right I can
tell you know by the questions that
you're asking they're more on the
beginner side keep it simple don't make
it complicated it's easier to sell to an
existing customer but it turns out if
someone goes to your niche site they're
not your customer it's Amazon customer
and you're just facilitating like
getting them good information to help
them make a good choice on the product
they're eventually hopefully going to
buy from Amazon so at the point
basically yeah either an afterthought or
no thought and you're gonna get fresh
new traffic all the time there are I
don't know what's the population of the
US like 280 or 300 million or something
like that and then if you tack on you
know other english-speaking countries
you know you have plenty of people
looking for new products to buy all the
time so you're in good shape okay last
question here
Sam says I want to do Amazon affiliate
marketing where I have to publish Amazon
affiliate blog to get so much traffic
cool I gotta be honest with you I'm not
really sure what you're asking
you started the question with where
which is a question type word and then
it finishes with something that I don't
quite understand if you want to revise
that slightly I'll try the way instance
however one of your post jumps from the
first ten results to a not fan status
perhaps worth figuring out what's
causing it or again Lorraine I would
just ignore it some keywords bounced
around all the time if you wanted to if
you're really like it's a really good
keyword or something like that maybe
check it out sometimes there are
keywords where they will always just
bounce up and down back in the day I had
a client and they had a keyword that
would rank number two or three or 100
and it would bounce it would move every
four days or something like that when
that when they were ranking like number
two number three every now and then
number one it was fantastic but you know
it didn't didn't hold up and the thing
is it just bounced around and there was
nothing to fix
to my knowledge all right I think that's
the last question got to get out of here
thanks everybody for joining up and
don't forget livestream tomorrow have a
good evening
