Making Money Online, Affiliate Marketing, Amazon Associates, Q&A #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hello it's Doug Huntington here what's

up welcome to the Friday weekly Q&A

hopefully you can hear me I yes I think

you can hear me and this week we hit

10,000 subscribers so thanks for your

support I know a lot of people that are

watching our subscribers and you've

watched a lot of videos over time so I

do appreciate it

give me a shout in the chat just say

hello I believe we are rolling now

although it looks like there's some sort

of a delay or something I'm not really

sure we have several questions that were

sent in I tried to catch up with some of

the questions that were sent in over the

past week one thing that opened up since

we did hit 10,000 subscribers is the

community tab so if you go to my channel

you'll see like a community tab sort of

like underneath the banner and you'll

see little messages there so I'm gonna

try and start using that I've actually

wanted to have that opened up for me for

a while but you have to have 10,000

subscribers before they do so it was

kind of a waiting game anyhow we made it

and now it's sort of an arbitrary

milestone it doesn't really change

anything but it's nice to have reached

some milestone and for everyone that

reached out and said congrats I do

appreciate it so messy formulaic we have

Richard we have Don what's up good to

have you let me know if it's the first

time that you're on a no formulaic I

recognize your name from back in the day

from some other live streams so few

announcements before we get into the

heart of all the all the questions and

stuff like that I'm just gonna talk

about a few things so number one there

are frequently asked questions and I try

to you know they're asked often hence

the frequently part so

have a look so if you ask any in the end

chat or today while we're on here

I'll answer is sort of in a short way I

can't even remember all of the different

questions that I've listed in there

there's some ten you know several

thousands of words so just check out the

FAQ some of them are listed at the

bottom of the description another thing

I want to mention is a guest posting

service so I very quietly rolled out a

guest posting service I just did a pilot

ran through the first set of five

customers and I'm probably gonna open it

up here soon so if you you'll see a link

for guest posting service over a niche

site project so if you want to check it

out I'll probably be opening it up next

week sometime so you'll want to sign up

for the the like the waitlist there and

or keep an eye on email over the next

week or so after that there's a few

playlists that I mentioned the podcast

with my wife and the questions there so

thanks Steven for the congrats and I see

towels on what's up good to have you on

one thing that you'll notice the bed

behind me which a lot of people like to

point out in the videos so comment came

through this week and someone they just

said hey Doug is that a bed behind you

what's the deal with the bed it looks

really unprofessional and if you want to

take YouTube seriously you need to get a

green screen or do something about it

and I thought about it cuz I've gotten

that comment before I mean to be frank

with you I don't want the bed behind me

this was my like office here and then

we're like hey you know we're gonna have

some guests coming in so why don't we

get a bad and our guests could stay in

here so that's how the bed got there but

as I thought about it I was thinking

like I'm not seeking to be a

professional youtuber I thought YouTube

was interesting number one to me

and it was a great way for me to like

experiment with another medium and help

people so I'm really just doing this to

help people and I realize people you

know everyone has an opinion about what

you should do or how you should do it

and I mean I'm putting out free content

so yeah like I said I'm not seeking to

be a professional youtuber and I thought

that was a key distinction in my mind

that I didn't have before

in fact I didn't have any ads running

for like for a few years on my channel

at all and I've recently turned them on

for certain videos and I mean basically

if you want to make money on YouTube you

have to do other stuff YouTube is just a

piece of the puzzle that I found

interesting and that's why I put time

into it so I do appreciate all feedback

even some of the other feedback that

I've gotten this is a good win from this

week

someone told me they said hey it looks

like you're dehydrated you should drink

more water someone your age shouldn't

have wrinkles so you know one I don't

know if someone would just walk up to

another person on the street and say hey

you look old or you know I don't I don't

even know what other stuff there's I

have some other things coming to mind

but just inappropriate but but overall I

get a lot of feedback and I like all the

feedback even if some of it isn't quite

relevant and I mean look I'm not a young

person right I'm like middle-aged

wrinkles are normal I don't know how old

people think I am but I'm clearly like

I'm bald right like I'm shaving my head

like I'm not that young not right out of

college or anything like that

so anyway you guys ready to get to the

questions all right

yes even this right drink more water I

don't know maybe get more rest and I

mean some days actually I have another

good one someone was they said that they

were a doctor I'll tell you later all

right I'll tell you later after answered

some questions

said that they were a doctor and they

were giving me some diagnosis so

everyone reminded me to come back to

that all right my me and grant wrote in

a question here and he says do you think

there's a magic number if the Google

looks for when it comes to word content

on the site in regards to showing some

traffic love no I don't think there's

like a one-size-fits-all I think it

depends on the query and the searcher

intent so if it's you know pretty

straightforward piece of content short

is probably good right you don't want to

drag it on in general like like more

word count it's probably going to be

helpful though and that I think grande

that's what you're looking for in

general I would say like you know 800

words is like a minimum for like the

short form stuff if I'm doing key word

golden ratio content I'm usually aiming

for like a thousand to fifteen hundred

or so again depending on the topic and

how thorough you want it to be all right

Jam sent in this question via email I've

never done affiliate marketing before I

was wondering what someone should name

their website if they're promoting two

or three products of different niches

should all the niches be on one website

or should there be as many websites as

the different categories of niches

alright my my take on this is don't do

that

so I'm not answering the question

directly

if someone's new you probably shouldn't

try to promote multiple niches or have a

site that's like more complex if you're

just starting you should start with like

the simplest thing that you can get some

traction on and then go from there most

of the time especially if you're a

beginner you don't realize how much

money a site can make even if it's you

know straightforward 30 pages like

fairly narrow in scope you could

actually make a lot of money from it so

my recommendation is to not take that

approach but

in either case if you want to do that

then you could put them all on the same

site you can put them on different sites

basically you can do whatever you want

which maybe isn't helpful because if you

have too many options and it becomes a

little confusing all right we've got

some other folks on yeah give me a shout

it looks like some more people are

hopping on here thanks everyone for the

support over the past like 18 plus

months we had 10,000 subscribers a great

Harbert rarey number that doesn't mean

too much the grand scheme of things okay

Raul says I'm in a great mood Thanks

I got a lot of sleep over the last

couple day so I feel good Oh too says do

this every single post have target

keywords in an ideal situation yes you

have like some intent and you know like

you're targeting something sometimes

right sometimes on like niche site

project for example I just want to write

something because I'm interested in it

and I don't really care about the

keywords that's not the best approach

all the time but it's valid if you want

to write about something gerunds on

what's up kind moderator thanks for your

help do appreciate it I think you said

you're gonna send me an email so feel

free to shoot it over sometime Jaron

Elliott what's up good to have you alway

and we have hiking gear lab and we have

I forget your name but it's it's we on

there I think I have a question in from

you okay another question that was sent

in feel free in the chat folks ladies

and gentlemen to you know ask questions

in there as well we got some great ones

that were sent in I used the keyword

golden ratio and it works however you

notice that you ranked number three and

then the next day it disappeared from

search it's great content it still index

but does Google filter content it

doesn't like so basically this probably

the Google dance my hunch is your site

is new it sounds like maybe the police

the post is new it showed up at 3:00 so

it's probably being tested

so just give it time it'll settle out at

some area and then you can go back and

improve it or you can get links to it or

interlink or whatever all right

basically it's the Google dance of stuff

moves around especially for like younger

sites and Duke is on thanks another

moderator I appreciate it

grant also wrote in and said have I ever

hired someone to do keyword research the

answer is yes if so do I have any

pointers in doing that I think so I

hired someone that I knew and personally

trained so slightly different situation

if you have the opportunity to do that

then that's good the guidance that I

would give you on hiring someone is

pretty universal

whether you're hiring a writer or an

editor or program or whatever start with

like small pieces of like a trial job so

give them a project let them like earn

your trust and and actually I mean it's

a two-way street so you'll communicate

trust will be built in both directions

so start small your instructions need to

be really tight and really thorough so

most of the time if there's like some

issues going on it's probably your fault

you know either you didn't give good

directions or you hired a person that it

was incompetent or whatever so it's your

fault no matter what always remember

that and then I mean you could you can't

blame them if they like did well and

this happened to me right so I hired a

few writers they were good they were

fine then slowly the quality declines

deadlines weren't being met and I like

gave him a little leeway because I

needed their help and then at the end of

the day I just had to fire like you know

two out of three people that we're doing

well for a little while so sometimes

that happens but it was still my fault

for letting it get to that

point maybe I should have seen the signs

sooner okay and then let's see Anna says

is putting a lot of affiliate links on

the same webpage something that can hurt

the rankings the answer is yes maybe if

you put too many how many is too many

I'm not sure I turn it to test that

threshold a good rule of thumb I usually

you know put like like one affiliate

link for every hundred to like 250 words

generally I think less is more and I

don't want to put too many affiliate

links on there Varun says I'm the best

Thanks

you're awesome okay next we have Daniel

Smith wrote in a couple questions here

looks like we have a handful of viewers

on so that's great give a thumbs up if

you do have the opportunity to

especially if I answered your question

alright dan says I picked the travel

niche

I know it's competitive how do you work

at getting a highly competitive blog up

and going in terms of traffic would you

write more obtuse articles to gather

momentum or write the regular articles

then utilize other means to gain traffic

there isn't much in the way of kgr terms

so far but you're determined to make it

work okay so I don't have much

experience in that specifically but I

started a blog an internet marketing

which is really competitive because it's

literally marketers trying to do the

same thing and they're like relatively

skilled at marketing so it's more

competitive so my recommendation is to

probably you know go for I know you say

you can't find kgr terms but maybe go

for look harder

there must be something out there so

look harder for kgr terms or something

close

maybe you can't meet the ratio that you

need but maybe you can get something

right something a little less

competitive and then the other thing you

need to network and like take it from

that side that you need to become a

member of the community and like write

good content like some of the best

content that you can and you know reach

out and try to be featured on other

people's blogs and that is what I did if

you look back and like just some of my

early articles in the way I approach the

blog in fact there's a few YouTube

videos on how I did it you know nothing

surprising I went out and like tried to

make contact with people that were more

experienced than me I tried to like be

in the audience of you know larger

people and like network that way and

then slowly extremely slowly

everything's gonna go slower than you

think I you know developed somewhat of a

following alright next richard says you

want to ask how to increase conversions

for an amazon affiliate site you

followed my templates and you get a lot

of clicks but a 5% conversion they don't

seem to buy the products immediately so

Richard there's a few videos on the

channel where I go through like that

sort of idea of improving conversions

however if you're getting a lot of

clicks but they're not buying then that

means you have the wrong traffic so you

need to make sure that they are people

that want to buy something soon so if

you're getting a lot of clicks over it

could be a couple other things too right

if the products are expensive then that

could hurt conversions as well people

don't buy really expensive things as

often as they buy cheaper things so yep

it's I would say it's potentially the

traffic that is not well targeted

alright next good question Oh Richard

common question a five percent

conversion rate is probably like average

ish

if you have a lot of keyword golden

ratio type content like there's a highly

likely chance that you're gonna have

like a double-digit conversion rate

okay so spouse ism community Andrea from

Maryland what's up good to see you on

could using paid traffic in the

beginning help your site get ranked

sooner than just adding backlinks I

doubt it so I've heard this theory for a

few years I've never seen it pulled off

so I would say no if you're really good

at paid traffic it may be worthwhile

there's some you know some logic that

you could connect the dots for example

if you had people on your pages and they

liked the content then Google could see

that maybe it was good content right I

could see how you could you know talk

your way into that logic but I don't

think it works again I haven't seen it

pulled off I've never seen anyone like

propose the hypothesis do it and then

come back and tell me did it work I've

tried it a couple times about four years

ago mastermind group that I had a few of

us tried it didn't really pan out we

never tried it again okay called says

how much should you be earning from a

site with ten thousand ten thousand

monthly users that is one of those

questions that's impossible to answer so

it depends on so many things and I'll

just make some quick assumptions so if

you get ten thousand monthly users so

that's like three hundred visitors a day

so at a minimum

I mean I'm gonna assume it's an Amazon

affiliate site you know buyer's keywords

okay so that could be completely

different I would say to minimum like

100 bucks a month and you could be

making like a couple thousand bucks a

month all right Adrian says congrats for

ten thousand subscribers and he says

when you started following me I only had

eleven hundred that's cool yeah thanks

for the support Adrian and yeah thanks

for popping in

let's see okay I'm gonna go back to the

[Music]

to the chat or to the questions that

were sent in okz HOD says you started a

site

he's a web developer the site's a year

old you were getting a hundred visitors

a day but two weeks ago someone linked

from linked my most popular article 61

times in a single domain and they

penalized your site and lost rankings I

know they surely did it using software

and then they disavowed all the spammy

links from webmaster tools or the search

console is it possible to get the rank

back what's the suggestion okay

basically I have some doubt that just

linking 61 times from one domain is will

get your site penalized all right but

I'm only I only know the information

that he wrote in the question so disavow

the links and then ask for

reconsideration requests and you should

get your rankings back fast so that's

what you do it's very straightforward

the documentation is pretty clear okay

next and I'll come back to the chat so

Anna says can it by linked or guest post

if it's from a high da and in the same

niche yes you can do that I don't

recommend it without knowing more

details and if people are just joining

up I am rolling out on a small scale the

guest posting service so there's a link

in the description I'll probably open it

up for like customers next week again

very limited I only had a pilot group

come through just five customers come

through last month and it was great so

everyone seems to be really happy with

their links still finishing out a couple

of the campaigns as it is manual it does

take some time and you have to work with

the content schedule of wherever you're

posting that guest post but anyway you

can if you're just you're going out

trying to buy backlinks then you could

get into a fuzzy not so good situation

but

you know check out the service all right

okay ray Han what's up

richard says your products are around

the price range that Ducasse so yeah if

they're more expensive people are just

not gonna buy as many okay

JP says you found nine kgr phrases and

they're all very similar should you

write similar articles or just pick one

so JP that happens to be a frequently

asked question so do check out the link

in the description for more details

basically you should think about what

the searchers intent is and if it's the

same kind of searcher that in the same

article can serve different searchers

then one article so if you can combine

them and serve it serve the searcher

then you're good to go

if they're truly different like if it's

best ballpoint pen for college versus

best ballpoint pen for you know writing

under water those are clearly different

people searching for different stuff so

two articles even though it could be the

same magical pen okay mark says do I

think informational site will rank

faster than an affiliate you're asking

because your informational right now and

you want to build a decent following

then apply to Amazon I have heard that

can be the case in some you know in some

way like there's probably less people

trying to write informational content

then you know affiliate related reviews

so my hunch is maybe you can and I have

seen people say like oh you know I

publish informational content on my site

and then I published affiliate content

and one you know informational ranks a

little faster a little higher blah blah

blah so sure that seems fine okay

exclusive for you asks okay I'm gonna be

a little hard on you try and do better

with this question how can you increase

your web traffic you need to increase

your rankings or get more content

can you get profitable key keywords

there's a playlist for the keyword

golden ratio and basically if you find

buyers keywords then you can you know do

that so how do you find him gotta go

look all right it's not just good enough

to have a profitable keyword but it

needs to be something you could actually

rank for as well and if you want a

profitable keyword you can basically go

to like any big affiliate site and just

see what they're ranking for that's a

profitable one

all right so pretty straightforward

Richard says if I tried getting Gavita

you links no not in a serious way I have

seen in the past some sort of like

forums that were or just web sites that

were on gov sites where you could create

like a profile that may have a link in

there but I don't think that is like

very worthwhile okay

Oh too says what's the purpose of the

kgr it's to find keywords that other

people aren't really trying to rank for

does it help you get acceptance in the

eyes of Google not necessarily as time

goes on does it have a compound against

the fact I think so but not specifically

not quantifiable so I'm not sure exactly

what you're getting hats to be honest

with you but if you publish them you

probably will rank in Google like that's

the whole point

we're like using advanced search command

with Google so that that is kind of the

idea but I wouldn't make assumptions

where I could just say yes to the

questions you're asking okay cool give a

thumbs up if you have the ability to we

got some other questions that were sent

in time and hid those so is there any

point in analyzing natural keywords

found and indexed in Google so a few the

articles were ranking for something that

they didn't intend to so on a similar

note what's most important in Google

Analytics in the search console so

basically yes it is worthwhile to go see

what your site's ranking for that you're

not intending to because you can like

maybe beef up your content for the stuff

that you're not trying to rank for yet

and then like add 100 or 200 words

answer that you know piece of content

right answer the query and then you'll

probably rank much higher because you're

intentionally trying to answer that

question as far as what's important in
