hey what's up its Doug Huntington here
today is a live Q&A the Friday Q&A I
think we have a handful of people in the
crowd the audience already let me pop
open the chat everyone say hello and let
me know if you could hear me I always
need to check that because sometimes you
cannot hear me I think you can now I see
the little green bar moving up and down
and that of course is a good sign so
welcome everyone let me know where
you're from everyone say hello everyone
be cool in the chat and I see we have a
mirror we have Marcus Ravi Reef what's
up I've been seeing your comments Arif I
really appreciate that and all the
support we have Matthew Ravi and Alex
people can hear me and that's fantastic
I'll do like the normal little
announcements which I do there are a few
cool things going on let me also turn on
turn off some stuff here okay
few cool things going on I am doing a
presentation next Monday a free training
with semrush which is pretty cool I've
been using some rush as a tool for many
years and I remember like reading stuff
on their blog and a couple couple weeks
ago they contacted me and asked if I do
a presentation for him and I said yeah
that'd be awesome so it's a free
presentation there's a I don't remember
if I put a link in the description but
there's another video out there and I'll
probably paste a link here shortly in
the chat but basically it's a free
training you could sign up it's going to
be on Monday there's going to be a
replay it's gonna be on their Channel
whenever it comes out but you could just
check it out and for me it's pretty cool
like I said to be invited to go make a
presentation with them we have OH - we
got a reef my man guys awesome and some
other folks so hopefully you'll have a
chance to watch the short little video
the promo video that I actually say hey
there's free training on some Rush blah
blah blah so go check that out and
there's a link in that the description
for that video further if you if you
just want to do some
eating there's a frequently asked
questions link in the description and I
find oftentimes people will ask a
frequently asked question in a session
just like this and I'll give sort of a
shorter answer and then tell you to read
more later all right
so read more later so that is cool and
then we have the productivity course I
highly don't push this too hard but if
you're looking to get a lot of stuff
done in the New Year I know a lot of
people are maybe you haven't switched
over to that mode yet but check out the
productivity course it's cheaper than my
my other course and generally it will
help you set goals help you set up some
systems so you can get things done and
I'll point people towards that too a lot
of a lot of details are in that please
check out and I'll talk about this a
couple times the surviving the nine to
five podcast so my wife of my wife and I
have been doing a few episodes there we
actually have about I think like 10 plus
episodes out we're going to go on a
little hiatus for the rest of the year
here but they're about 10 episodes and
I'll probably do I'm just some more
talking about that to get people out
there so I didn't want to promote it too
much as we were getting started it's a
new thing right like whenever you start
something new it's a little rough around
the edges and that sort of thing but I
think we've gotten a little bit better
we're a little more confident on the
microphone and that sort of thing
alright we have a Tammy from West
Virginia and a reef is mentioning some
rush you're excited about it very cool
we have ta's and awesome Maude is on as
well so we I went through all right so
quick note for everybody I went through
the I've been telling people to ask
questions on videos and you have
listened and I thank you for it so if
you're watching this video now I mean if
you have questions later right if you
have questions later you leave a comment
like wherever and I'll try to go and
find it
did that yesterday afternoon as I was
preparing for this session today by the
way give a thumbs up if you have the
opportunity to and the thing that's cool
is there are there's like 20 questions
or so then I put in the description it's
interesting right when I see the same
question multiple times across different
videos from different people I know that
is a frequently asked question and I
mean sometimes I've already added it to
the section on my site but do check out
some of the questions in the description
I'm going to start going through them
and you can ask them in the chat for all
the live people that are that are
joining me here and I think we may have
a pretty decent crowd today because we
already have what looks to be 31 people
or so here and we're only 7 minutes in
it usually takes a little while for the
notifications to go out so maybe that's
a good sign or maybe it's a bad one I
have no idea all right
Assam is asking what the session is
about today so usually I have a number
of questions like I mentioned in the
description so I'll talk about those and
that will sort of get people's uh you
know juices flow in here and then after
that I just start thinking of stuff and
talking about whatever I want sometimes
it is not related but usually it is okay
so teeth health asks this was a question
that was asked in the in a comment so
what happens when you do all in title
search and it doesn't show any results
do you still write an article for it so
I get this question a lot so it's like
when all in title this is directly
around the keyword golden ratio so if
you're not familiar with the keyword
golden ratio or kgr then you should have
a look at the Masterclass playlist
playlist and then you'll have an
understanding about what we're talking
about here but basically the keyword
golden ratio is the all in title number
of results divided by the local monthly
search volume usually that's going to be
in the US
and then you get some value so when you
get all in title is equal to zero that's
less than 0.25 and that's the ratio
you're looking for so like I said it
baffles me
because I don't understand why people
ask the question however that is my own
issue right because I get that question
all the time but I just don't understand
like the formulas super clear like less
than 0.25 zero is less than 0.25 like
that is okay now when you're talking
about a local monthly search volume of
zero well then that's different you're
dividing by zero and there's a whole
other set of things you have to think of
there but anyway teeth health if you get
an all in title in a zero that's a good
keyword go for it all right
and feel free to ask questions in the
chat and I'll give a shout out to my man
guys talking about what he calls trigger
words so a couple weeks a couple weeks
ago maybe last week guys was like hey I
used what's called trigger words he made
up the term himself he said I could use
it so I'm using trigger words but
shout-out to God who's in the chat very
active out there and appreciate that so
guys says he uses trigger words and he
pasted it like in the comment section of
a video from a couple weeks ago so just
check that out and you'll see a big list
and shot me an email and he was like hey
like maybe we can figure out how to get
this information out and I paused right
I always pause for everything apparently
but I asked guys I was like hey what
results have you gotten these were
extensive there were way more words than
I thought and he doesn't have any
results yet so I'm pausing because
basically when I got started there were
a lot of people who won they were just
like full of it right they didn't have
any real results to show but they were
talking about stuff that they heard
elsewhere like second and third-hand and
like telling people to do stuff and then
you would do it and maybe either
wouldn't work they sound so convincing
right like they're selling something so
anyway I usually don't share or do much
without like having results to say at
least we tried this one time and it
worked really well and even then you
know I'm hesitant I'm like oh this needs
to be repeatable so that's why I'm slow
right I published a blog post on the e8e
the medic update from Google which came
out in like August of this year right so
I'm like about four months behind but
people that publish something that week
they like basically didn't have any data
to go off of
so I pause and wait anyway so guys like
gave a bunch of like cool keywords
prefixes he calls trigger words to do
more searches but I'm pausing because I
don't know if the results are awesome
yet they might be but we're just waiting
alright God says you know you've spoken
about it but what's the deal with Google
coming up with related searches that
when you test them come up with zero
searches surely people are typing it in
yep so basically people are searching
for it Google is literally telling you
the people are searching for it and
their Auto suggested as far as zero
search volume search volume is an
estimate any tool that you use is
estimating with whatever algorithm they
use so I recommend you just like pick a
tool and use it and then you have a
relative sense of the search volume even
if you get the search volume from Google
itself that is also an estimate all
right so that's also an estimate there
and I think okay Timmy wrote something
that it didn't okay cool I think we're
good to go
so anyway yeah guys basically
if it's a search volume of zero I would
write something if it's an auto suggest
a related search or you just know it's a
good piece of content right that goes on
our successful high school student who
says this online business can be
emotional one week traffic is up in
earnings and then the next week it's a
drop or just stagnant yep that that is
business that's just business I'm
drinking some chai tea today trying to
take I have coffee in the morning and
for a stretch like if you watched in my
older videos I probably said something
like I drink coffee like a monster which
I did and I would drink like I don't
know like a quart or liter for our
metric folks I would just drink like a
lot all day long in general it was fine
only when I hit like some critical
critical mass would I get like you know
- like amped up or something like that
but generally it's fine nowadays I'm
drinking like a cup and a half of coffee
then I'll switch over to tea and stuff I
busted out the espresso maker recent
recently just to have you know little
pick-me-up in the afternoons
occasionally but I've cut down my coffee
drinking and trying to drink more tea
all right and cool this is great so
Bruce Marin in the chest as I'm ranking
on page one of Yahoo and being and
others but not on Google at the moment
they're all kgr well google catch up or
am i doing something wrong
which is really cool because there is
another question that was sent in let me
give this guy a shout-out here where
that gives it Alex
each G says I'm ranking high on bing but
not on Google do I have any ideas why
this might be
okay so Bruce had the same question as
Alex here so basically
Alexes question is like why am i ranking
on bing and not on Google yours is a
little different Bruce so basically
knowing that you're ranking on bing this
is direct it's Alex knowing that you're
ranking on Bing doesn't really tell us
anything about why or why not
you're ranking in Google they are
obviously independent and they generally
have nothing to do with each other so if
you're ranking on Bing or Yahoo that's
really cool but it doesn't tell you why
you're not ranking in Google however you
can look at the normal suspects right
content quality you know that could go
to grammar it can go to the quality of
your keyword research you can go to the
competition that you're dealing with and
then further links right so links may be
more important on the Google side that
may be more sophisticated in the way
that they're checking or not right it is
unclear so I don't i basically ignore
Yahoo and being 100 percent I literally
don't care maybe can give you some more
insight and maybe some people like if
they just focus on those areas they can
do really well but I I mean I think it's
like I don't remember this could be off
by a significant amount but I think it's
like 70% of the search traffic is on
Google it may be closer to like 90 or
something like that but I think it may
be like 70 something like that so anyway
Bruce's question is around whether
Google will catch up or are you doing
something wrong
so the the the root of the answer is the
same as what I was telling Alex even
though you guys are coming at it from
different directions so are you doing
something wrong
the answer is maybe but just because
you're ranking on being in Google or
sorry Bing and Yahoo it doesn't tell me
anything so you have to look at you know
are you keyword stuffing is the content
good you have too many affiliate links
I've been doing just one-on-one audits
with people by the way I do one-on-one
audits and coaching so generally if
we're going through so Bruce you asking
a fine question here I basically can't
give you
very helpful answer in this scenario I
can tell you stuff to look at but you
know like last last night actually I met
with someone from Australia wanted me to
take a look at their site it had been
doing pretty well for like a year or so
and then things were starting starting
to drop off I took a quick look at his
site you know I do some homework ahead
of time I investigate the the on page I
like look at the like the just the site
overall so I go through and audit it I
take a look at the backlinks I see what
the site is ranking for I see the
backlinks on like a drafts and just get
like a full picture of what's going on
and usually I can say hey it looks like
your keyword stuffing on a couple of
these posts it looks like you maybe have
too many affiliate links your tables
look like crap you need to fix those or
get rid of them like do something and
the point is with a with an audit I can
record it we can go back and forth ask
questions you can actually get real
answers so I need to sort of develop
that offering better and mention it more
often because a lot of times I mean if I
go and make some recommendations and
then you automatically like move up in
the rankings and start getting more
traffic or conversions or whatever then
it pays off like immediately and then
when you look at like the website volume
right in fact again I need to just like
tell people that I offer this and show
you the testimonials so there is a
person who I audited the IATA there's
their site in like September they spent
six weeks making a few changes that I
recommended on about 20% of the articles
and basically you get an action plan out
of it so I tell you where to focus I
tell you how I would prioritize it and
then you go and execute the work I don't
do the work for you or anything like
that but I tell you what you need to
work on anyway
they were able to like make the changes
the revenue went from like
I don't remember like $5.00 a month to
like 90 bucks a month or so so if you
look at like just the straight-up cost
of the session which is 250 247 they
paid for that already and then if you
look at the value of the site it's like
you know 10x the value of you know what
they're investing which is the right way
to to charge really so anyway that is
the answer to that question I think
Bruce said maybe you need an audit let's
talk cool shoot me an e-mail or you can
go to niche site project that comm slash
hire me and you can send me some
information all right next
cool cool we got some good questions
going on nico says what I advise
switching to Guttenberg or is it better
to wait it out I would say wait it out
it didn't work that well for me but you
can upgrade to I think at this point I
have 55.0 0.1 it fixed a security issue
apparently and then install like the
classic editor and that generally will
keep things from breaking Guttenberg was
giving me some issues with my particular
theme okay awesome says choosing
products
what pricing is best for example if
you're writing about smart watches what
products should I select in their price
or what works best Steve mentioned
thumbs up people so appreciate that
that'll be great we have 12 now so we'll
slowly grow that if I answer your
question that is a good prompt to just
give the thumbs up so there's there's no
like best pricing but I'll give you some
guidelines so around 100 bucks
plus or minus like 25 something like
that it's really good to have a range of
prices that's ideal what I wouldn't do
is focus all on my cheap products right
so obviously you know most people are
not going to want to do that so don't
focus on cheap products that's not gonna
pay off
all right but if you have a wide range
of products I go for even low price
stuff now the other thing that it
recommend isn't to not target really
high priced products because the your
conversion rate is just going to be like
lower in general because people don't
buy expensive stuff is often the buying
cycle time is longer so about a hundred
bucks awesome and Tami reminds us that I
did a video on Gutenberg so that was a
quick one there's a couple cool features
with Gutenberg but I think for now
probably pause and wait unless you have
just like a straight-up like simple
theme without that many features
probably if you're using like one of the
WordPress themes or something by
automatic I suspect those are gonna work
a little bit better than other themes
with like a lot of features and like
custom fields and all that so Ravi uuhh
says what's up
God says trigger words are used to find
longtail keywords to meet the kgr cool
oh yeah and everyone just a quick
reminder if you are not if you're not
subscribed please do subscribe to the
channel and let's never say this and you
can click the bell for notifications
alright and that that way you'll
hopefully know whenever I go live or
when I publish a video you'll get a
little notification so that's good also
if you like like the videos and or
comment on them frequently I think
that's a good thing too in fact I would
really appreciate it if you do comment
on as many of my videos as you can I
think that is one of the big like
reasons I mean my channel is growing
much slower than other people that I see
and I think I'd do more like live
streams like this but it's like no very
few people like leave a comment a lot of
people on their phone you know alright
Robbie says how do you choose products
for the affiliate store so I don't like
affiliate stores in general but I would
say finds highly rated like four or five
stars in certain price ranges that
you're looking for and don't add too
many most of the time when I hear people
talking about the affiliate stores you
end up with too many products people are
like yeah have like 800 products on
there and their site runs slow
it's like duplicate content and it's
just garbage so don't do that either all
right Robbie also says some key words
sometimes key words are not in proper
order shown by Google so what should we
do use proper grammar that's what you
should do all right your guitar guides
is Merry Christmas thanks appreciate
that
Oh for him is on one of our kind
moderators thanks for the help there
Aamir says if you find a if you find 20
keywords with 200 searches is it fine to
create a blog on that keywords are
related to the kgr formula sure you can
do that uber says at what point do you
start targeting keywords over 250 as
soon as possible I would say I would do
that quickly because it'll take time to
rank those but you have to understand
like what you're doing uber driver and
the whole grand scheme of things so I
would say you know start right away
you want a blend of stuff generally all
right all-tube says hi okay ooh bad says
his content also important for ranking
yes
it's very important it's one of the top
three things as described by Google
backlinks and rankbrain are also
important those are the other two things
arif says what's my review about uber
suggests it's very good it's a great way
to come up with some ideas and I just I
is it an uber suggest in the in the last
couple days and it looked like there
were a lot more features in there
I know Neil Patel who owns Ober suggests
now was talking about like just
providing more features for free
generally so I think some of those
features are rolling out and obviously
all that stuff is pretty expensive to
implement to keep running its resource
intensive and all that stuff so I should
probably do a little bit of
investigating and checking out uper
suggest all-tube asks about what theme
you should use for an affiliate site you
could use any theme you want it
seriously doesn't really matter however
if you want a better answer than that
you can go to the FAQ section there's a
link in the description and there's a
question hey what's theme should I use
and then I tell you a few
recommendations but generally it
seriously doesn't matter all right
Niko's has a cool question here you have
20 articles based on the keyword golden
ratio and they're ready to publish would
you publish them all at once or better
to trip him out
I would publish them all at once it
literally doesn't matter it doesn't
matter at all okay Rosie says you tried
a h refs and they're so wrong with the
numbers after an hour you asked to
cancel okay
so here's the thing with the keyword
research tools they all use different
algorithms and if I remember right H
refs uses like a longer I think it may
be like a 30 month average or something
like that so it really smooths out the
averages now the value at age refs is
just not really with the keyword search
volumes it's with the backlink the
backlink database and the organic search
terms that you're ranking for so that is
the real value the I mean you can you
you can literally use free tools to get
the local monthly searches so H rafts is
really valuable for other areas not
really these search volumes all tube
asks a philosophical question here how
to select a profitable and perfect niche
it's so difficult why because there's
nothing's perfect and you want it
profitable and perfect and you're
looking for something that doesn't exist
so you just have to pick something and
then do that and now we have quite a few
people on which is great would really
appreciate a thumbs up we really we're I
feel like we do bad we do bad on the
likes you know what I'm just gonna
ignore it I don't really give a
okay candy talk says does your comments
still have to get approved by the admin
before going live so this is around
block commenting the answer is generally
yes unless for some reason like you
don't need to do it sometimes it's like
Auto approve but generally it needs to
be approved kareem asked how long does a
relationship building take I have no
timeframe to measure if I'm doing it
right so this is also around like doing
blog commenting and then asking for
guest posts and stuff like that and he's
asking how long does it take to build a
relationship so you're looking at it the
wrong way cream that's like asking how
long should you date before you get
married it just you're you're trying to
like treat a relationship building
process as like a formula so you're
probably trying to rush it that's the
answer but if you force me I would say
like two weeks to two months a lot of
times it really depends on the
interactions that you're having okay
let's see echo says why try building a
digital marketing agency um no that
sounds awful to me okay ooh bad says can
we announce a Christmas gift for all
your YouTube fans something mind-blowing
how about this I'm sitting with you
right now answering your questions how's
that Merry Christmas
Arif says ubersuggest is killing other
tools it's free use keywords everywhere
nuber suggests yeah I mean I think
making that stuff free is really
interesting I think again for some of
the more like really more intensive like
processor stuff us like backlink
databases like that is I think that
probably won't be free because that will
be it's just too expensive to do that I
think hiking gear lab says how you have
hired coworkers in brief I don't have
co-workers but maybe you're asking
something different you in a rephrase
that
okay bo2 says starting a website in a
different language for a different
country are Google's algorithms and
rules DIF different are the algorithms
as strong as they are in English I don't
know I haven't looked at that but my
assumption is are you probably using the
same algorithm
alright al-mehdi says does the number of
does the total number of words on all
published content matter on ranking is
it a criteria for ranking on google I
don't think so
there are over 200 and I don't think
just pure word count is one of them a
lot of times a longer piece of content
will be higher quality but that doesn't
mean that it is automatically going to
rank
another form of this question Meddy is
people say I see my competitor the
number one person has 2,000 words if I
write 4,000 words why I rank higher
maybe but it's not because you have
twice as much content so it can indicate
some things but it's not like a direct
like cause all right
uber driver says I found a way to get
Google AdWords to show you the monthly
search volume when you get to a page it
has all the keywords and you have to
blah blah blah okay great Carlos what's
up from Brazil and Ruud says you heard
Amazon gives extra api's on request the
current limit is to per account correct
me if I'm wrong anyway what would be the
criteria to get more api's well I don't
know you should check with Amazon I've
never looked into it so check with
Amazon I have no clue about that at all
quick a couple announcements so I see we
have more people on which is great if
you're new to the channel thanks for
hopping on if you have any questions
just give us a shout in the chat there
and be sure you're subscribed I am
interested in getting more people to
check out the survive the 9 to 5 podcast
that's a podcast with my wife and I we
talked about having a corporate job and
like dealing with you know stuff when
the job which I don't have anymore but
it used to so I could talk more freely
so there's about 10 episodes out there
there's a few links in the description
do you check it out
iTunes and stitcher and overcast I think
if you just google it you can you could
find it out there as well so survive the
9 to 5 do check it out again would
really appreciate that
ok Jeff says what's my best resource for
creating a lead magnet in order to
capture emails and what do I put in your
initial auto responder emails how many
how many should we send for the first
emails okay so I would I personally use
Aweber but if you go to any email
service provider they basically all have
like free training on building an email
list and you could pick whichever one
you want they're generally all about the
same with the same functionality and
around the same price
it's literally like it doesn't matter so
just pick some company they have the
free training you can go through and
they just they give the training away
for free because you need their tool to
do anything basically for lead magnets
make them short one pagers are great you
may think hey I'm gonna do like a video
course or an e-book but no one cracks
those things open right you may see some
examples where people are you know check
and checking them out a little bit but
basically like people are lazy and if
it's like more than one page they're not
even gonna look at it so one pager that
they could use and get a benefit in like
five to ten minutes is what you're
aiming for what are you putting your
initial autoresponder emails generally
who you are what the site is about and
what they can expect again just go check
out any email company and they'll tell
you what to put in the first email no
literally they give you templates right
you can literally get a template how
many should you send for the first
emails don't overwhelm yourself I would
say get one or two emails in your
autoresponder and then maybe add one per
week you could pick like if you want to
publish if you want to send something
out once a week every two weeks or once
a month whatever you want to do doing it
on a regular basis is a good thing
though alright and the other Jeff the
other thing I would mention is take
I'm assuming you have significant
traffic on your site I don't know what
kind of site you have a lot of times
where here's the reason why I'm gonna
give you this background so a lot of
times people have a site and maybe they
get 20 visitors a day and they hear
everyone's saying you need to start an
email list the money's in the list email
this email that you got to start an
email list or if you're like buying a
site like a premade site a lot of times
they're like hey we're gonna we're gonna
set up an autoresponder like we'll put
the email capture and all that stuff and
is literally like if you don't if you're
not getting significant traffic it's
literally a distraction and you should
100% spend your time elsewhere because
if you're thinking about like starting
an email list and you're only getting 20
visitors a day even if you have a really
good conversion rate you're only going
to be getting like a couple people per
day on your email list and I mean when
you do the math of like getting people
to convert to your email list and
actually sign up and then to actually
open your email like you're talking
about like fractions of fractions and
basically it's a huge waste of time
unless you have a lot of traffic that
said I mean I do have email list for my
sites with you know thousands of people
on them but it's because I have enough
traffic and I did things in a sequence
all right
Ahmir also says thanks for answering
you're inspired from me and now you're
turning to affiliate sites from Adsense
your second question is that is okay for
keyword for me and luxury watches best
something-something if you have 20
keywords and they're based on the key
kgr can you create a blog on that yes
you can Robbie says what's the best way
to get traffic to your affiliate store
apart from organic traffic from Google
probably social traffic however I would
suggest that you focus
the organic traffic but if you are
forcing me to answer that I would say
you know go for social but I don't
actually recommend that okay let me get
some more questions that were sent in by
the way just a reminder for the other
people that may be watching later or if
you think of questions later
I'm just ask on any video anywhere on my
channel and I'll try and hunt it down
and find it best product review says
what could be going on when we have over
400 clicks to Amazon and no orders so
there's a there's a couple things so
potentially you have the wrong traffic
on your site people that are not
interested in buying anything so that
would be the number one thing the other
the other is it's kind of a small amount
of data
I would assume right if you had 400
clicks to Amazon that you would maybe
make 4 sales that's it so overall it's
like a very I have to cough here in a
second
in a back basically product reviews does
not have enough data there and it's a
small sample set and you need more
traffic but you could be getting the
wrong kind of traffic to your site
people that don't actually want to buy
anything Oh Jared is on what's up
al-mehdi says you keep keep you keep
hearing on the internet people saying I
published hundreds of thousands of words
and you hear and you can hear some say
it says if you publish thousands you
increase your chances of ranking up you
know I mean if it's high quality so
you're asking two different things man
like if you think you could just publish
a bunch of cons I'm not suggesting that
you are but like it's two different
things so are you publishing a whole lot
of content that's high quality based on
good keyword research and you have links
going to your site well that's gonna
work yeah you put like thousands of more
words on your site and like you're doing
things right that's a good thing if
you're just putting more content out
there that's not that's not necessarily
going to help so it's like comparing
apples to like a giraffe or something
like that
oh to says how many kg are post does it
take to come out of the Google sandbox
have I seen any patterns on that no I
think it depends on how you define a
Google sandbox in my opinion you can't
really like get out of the sandbox just
by publishing kgr post can you get
traffic and rank well for low
competition keywords yeah but it depends
on how you like define the Google
sandbox so if you want to get out of the
sandbox I think you have to invest a lot
in content and in outreach and link
building and probably in social getting
social traffic as well
going back to some of the quest
were sent in burn artists asks what kind
of videos are you adding the product
reviews I used to add short short review
type or unboxing videos from YouTube but
now they are full of affiliate links in
the descriptions which can probably
quote steal the clicks so I put whatever
video seems relevant and here is the
thing I think if someone watches a video
on your site they're probably not going
to click over to Amazon or sorry click
over to YouTube and then subsequently
click over to Amazon people are lazy
they're probably gonna do the shortest
thing I don't have any data on this but
I'm pretty sure like if people are
watching the video at all they're not
going to youtube and if they are going
to youtube it means they're like a
YouTube viewer like many of you folks
and they're already on YouTube and they
would probably search there first anyway
hence they would never end up on your
site so I wouldn't worry about it and I
would just put videos up there and not
worry about like anyone's stealing your
clicks next Robbie says in Google and
Google search settings I changed the
settings for USA I would like to our
searches shown as per settings as I
target US people because if the searches
gets wrong my keywords will not rank can
can you rephrase that I think I got lost
in the nuance of the question
okay hiking gear lab clarifies and said
I thought co-worker means for posting
your article on your site how you have
hired SEO s for posting your articles
and publishing okay Ohio nut what's up
good to have you on buddy appreciate it
so alright hiking gear lab I am I'm
gonna rephrase your question to
something better I think I understand
what you're trying to ask but I think I
would use many different words and
descriptors for it so I think you're
asking how I hire assist
to publish content on my site so I'll
tell you the reasons why I don't like
your question so a co-worker would
indicate that I am a worker and that
they are my peer and I'm a dictator here
on my and this stuff that I'm working on
now
so I hire people to help me out as my
assistant and I I definitely want
feedback from them and I think I'm like
a reasonable manager and I try and get
ideas and I don't think I know
everything and all that stuff however I
am making the decisions so we are not
coworkers
also I try not to ever hire SEO s
because I don't know what they think is
right and a lot of times the knowledge
from quote SEO s may be different from
what I want to do so I don't want them
to have preconceived notions and I've
actually heard from a couple people who
have agencies and they they wanted to
hire people that didn't have any SEO
background because of the baggage that
could come come with it so so overall my
answer is I have like three or four
videos on this and like probably a few
thousand words on the blog so I think I
published something just the other day
on the blog how to hire writers and all
that stuff so I don't have the link
handy but if you go to a niche site
project and search for hiring writers I
think there's even a section in the FAQ
area where I talk about hiring people
so in short there's a video coming out
soon just recorded it the other day
talking about this I'm a little bit more
in depth
so in general I hire people from up work
I try and find new people that are just
starting on up work and then I have them
write the articles and I usually have an
editor who edits and then drafts the
article in WordPress but they're not my
co-workers
Oh bill says you've listened to most of
survived a nine-to-five and you're still
doing the Alpharetta commute
oh man that's rough that's rough
well appreciate you checking it out bill
and if you you know if you have any
feedback or an episode that you
particularly liked or if you have any
requests that'd be cool to just let me
know ok Marcus says your best freelance
writer just got promoted at her job and
she has no time to write so it's back to
recruiting it took you like ten hires to
find someone like that yep that's
exactly right and I was talking to the
person that I was
auditing yesterday and I was like I had
a great VA who was super fast
she could write she could do outreach I
trained her on everything aside from the
writing but basically he was like oh you
were so lucky that you found her and I
was like yeah I was lucky you know I had
to go through like 50 people to find her
and he was like I guess it wasn't luck
then it was really just it was it was
just going through it and finding people
alright Jared says you like aweber
mailchimp Oasis promote the promotions
tab for Gmail and I think for a weber
for me my stuff I think usually ends up
in the promotions tab and all that Kathy
what's up
do I have an opinion on using an expired
domain to start in your site I don't
recommend it generally unless it's okay
if it doesn't work out for you instead
of an expired domain I would I would
encourage you to find an existing domain
by someone's blog that isn't monetized
well they want to get rid of it or
something like that but I think an
expired domain may have issues if it's
been dropped for like a few years or
whatever there was a time where like you
could skip the sandbox and like get
traction like way faster but I think
Google maybe he's more sophisticated
with like expired domains and when they
drop when they drop God says that you
like keywords anywhere and integrate
with answer the public yep cool yeah I
like that too
oh and Kathy says you'd like that I
I am ute the Mike that's funny yeah so
the thing is back in the corporate job
and if you want to hear more about the
corporate job
check out survive the nine-to-five
there's a link in the description
basically it was like I was on
conference calls often and like I was
you know or on like presentations or
status calls or something like that so I
would just you know you got to stay on
mute most of the time that's what you
want to do so I'm pretty good with a
mute button don't want a coffin anyone's
here all right okay and hiking gear lab
says you are talking about content
managers hiring process yeah so there's
yeah check out forehand thanks for
publishing that post on hiring writers
yeah there's a ton of stuff you just got
to go do it
Ravi says you mean the searches are
shown by Google as per your settings or
per your country I don't know no clue
and that should be simple enough to
check right just check with one and
check with the other you use a couple
tools and see what it tells you and then
you'll know Robbie says is it okay to
embed a YouTube review of other people
along with your own text review on your
site yes it is as long as it's
embeddable then it's good to go alright
this is another question that was left
in a comment don't forget you can leave
comments I'd love to get comments on the
videos apparently they tell me that
helps things neo bandit says I've
watched a lot of your videos and I
learned a lot I found a niche where the
kgr would be great along with keywords
where there are many hundreds of
searches mostly YouTube videos come in
search and the content is written really
badly but to monetize I would have to
use a Clickbank product which I think if
done correctly would bring in lots of
money my question is can I use what you
teach on Clickbank products and won't
work with those product
the niches so poorly cover the contents
bad and it's a billion dollar niche what
do you think won't work with Clickbank
so a very long question there with a
very short answer and it's yes it should
work I think there may be something that
we're missing here but in general this
is it will work for anything it'll work
for anything I've had a lot of like
local business business types local SEO
let me know that they are ranking for
kgr type terms for like local SEO so
yeah works for anything Oh next first
video says very good info does the kgr
oh sorry
does this kgr does this kgr is for
Amazon affiliate website only or we can
use it for Google Adsense content
website - please reply okay I think I
put those together on purpose
yeah you could do anything you want
anywhere so yeah and back to the chat
here what else do we have going on Josh
says when using different countries
Amazon associate program together does
one have to make three sales in each of
the associate account to qualify for the
respective program I am Not sure I don't
I don't remember I don't remember but
what you can do is just go ask the
respective associate account and just
see what they say
it's literally published on the site so
all you have to do is look all right as
a nil says I have one specific question
what's the usual conversion rate on
Amazon
affiliate site if you're getting a
thousand visitors today how many sales
and how many clicks should I expect I'm
okay if you give different percentages
for different niches but you're looking
for actual numbers so you could compare
it well that's funny that you you think
I have all this data I do not I don't
have that data I'll give you a range so
if you're going for more general type
like traffic your conversion rate may be
like four percent four or five percent
if you're using the keyword golden ratio
and you're getting like very specific
traffic your conversion rate could be in
the double digits mine for the past few
years has been like 11 to 13 percent
something like that so generally if
you're getting I mean you could be
getting like just more traffic and if
you are then a lot of times you'll end
up with like a lower conversion rate or
if it's like a very expensive product
the conversion rate can be lower as well
so if it's like I don't know like
premium laptops or some like gaming
laptops or something people may be
investigating that for a pretty long
time and where are we at so richard says
and what timeframe do you leave the site
for the income to come passively Richard
there's no like when things are stable
and you're happy with it but you know
that's up to you there's no time frame
there's no time frame there's no
prescription for that
Chris ray says you're late hi that's all
right oh yeah nude says I have the
patience of a saint some of the
questions yeah that's okay you know
there's a lot of new people here and
this is what I signed up for but I do
every now and then I get some comments
get some comments that I don't know
they're pretty funny I have to do a
little bit better with him because there
was a stretch where I'm only I was only
getting like a handful of comments and
generally like you know people weren't
super rude but occasionally they are and
as your channel grows as more people
follow you I think it's just a
percentage of people on the internet are
jerks all right it's like 40 50 maybe
80% I'm not sure but they just act like
like children or something so I get a
few of those comments and I should just
hide them but occasionally I engage it's
kind of its kind of fun in some way but
yeah I should just delete him all right
um commit says I started a Mitch site
less than two months ago you made your
first two sales in the last couple of
days nice you haven't done any marketing
so you're not even sure what you're
doing right nice Congrats it's awesome
to get theif like the sales there
Arif says what do I say about anchor
text for backlinks go-to niche site
project comm slash anchor - text I think
I literally made some updates in the
last couple days on that post it
probably can use a little bit more work
but generally you want to have a little
bit of exact match anchor text but not
too much and a lot of other anchor text
nude says your conversion rate ranges
from three to eight percent but you're
using other affiliate networks not
Amazon okay that's that's perfect yeah
that's what I would expect from other
other companies potentially they often
other affiliate programs often have a
higher commission percentage and a lot
of times like people don't buy as much
stuff on Amazon Richard says is there
another is there another way to reach
out to Heidi a sites each
to subscribe to their email list and
they and all they do is bombard you with
lots of marketing letters and ignore
your proposal Richard yeah I would say
you should probably spin spin Mort
you have to personally like reach out to
people and do something helpful for them
so for example let me obviously this is
not something that you'd be able to just
emulate quickly but if you check out so
I mentioned this before I'll paste the
link here since we have a handful of
people on so I'm doing a free
presentation with some rush and I end up
with like some some backlinks from some
rush doing this which is cool I think
they're you know they're pretty
authoritative as it comes and like
people reached out to me right so we
were corresponding I'm an affiliate for
them I've made some videos with them or
about the tool so I had like my foot in
the door and it was a very long term
relationship right so it's not just
something where I I signed up for their
email list and I was like hey do you
want to work together I have nothing and
you have all this stuff that could help
me they're probably just gonna tell me
