hey what's up it's Doug Huntington here
and this is the Friday Q&A session Eric
is on what's going on good to see you on
and it's been a few weeks I hope
everyone can hear me let me know in the
chat let me know where you're from say
hello let me know if it's your first
time on one of the live streams and if
you have been on multiple live streams
in the past you probably realize I took
a little hiatus from these Friday live
streams so a couple reasons for that I
had family in town my parents were on a
long road trip so they were here for
about a week and my wife had like a
Friday off so a couple of those things
came into play over the last few weeks
and then I also just took a break I was
doing like two livestreams per week for
most of the year I would say and if you
go back through the archives you'll see
a lot of dozens of these babies and yeah
so I just took a break you know another
thing I see all Wayne's there and all
Wayne and Eric you probably know a lot
of times I'm answering like the same
sort of questions sometimes literally
these same exact questions during the
live streams so it got a little boring
I'll be honest with you got a little bit
boring to answer the same questions and
I can't blame anyone for asking a common
question in fact I will point out that
one I'd scooted my desk my situation
around here a little bit so that I'm
trying to adjust the lighting just a tad
but basically there's a frequently asked
questions section there on niche site
project the blog so if you like to read
then you can follow the link in the
description it's like the first one
listed there and you can basically it'll
different ideas it's probably I can't
remember how long but it must be in be
five to ten thousand range of words so
it's a it's a good read and it'll
it'll just spark your interest and other
things going on in your mind I have a
few questions and things that I I wrote
out and stuff like that over the past a
little bit and I see we have Dennis good
to see you buddy we have stress managed
over there - I see your question that's
great and Thomas is on and you joined me
the other day Thomas her mance and you
know if you have the opportunity share
this out and by the way we're getting
really close to 10,000 subscribers on
the channel which is crazy because it's
a bit of an obscure topic right so I
know there's some other affiliate
marketers who have huge channels but I
think perhaps they're a little more
entertaining maybe they don't go as deep
into the weeds and I don't know they're
better at video but we've been working
hard at it and again I know a lot of
people have been joining me on this
journey for the last like 18 months so
we're super close so if you're not
subscribed please do subscribe and if
you have the ability to get you know
some of your friends or you know your
spouse or something to subscribe maybe
watch a couple videos I mean only only
how people subscribe if it's something
they'll be interested in so a couple
other things going on one I do have a
guest posting service that I'm slowly
running a pilot on so I had the first
batch of about 5 customers go through
still working on you know delivering and
then getting testimonials but if you
head over to my I think I forgot to put
a link in this particular one basically
if you head over to a project and look
up like guest posting service or Google
guest posting service niche site project
you should find the page you can sign up
for the wait list and if you do happen
to watch this and you sign up there's a
Google Form where you send me the
information if you do that I'll probably
be able to get you in over the next week
or so so a lot of people ask about what
service for guest posts
and I really you know didn't know who to
recommend but at this point absent being
with on my team and I'm doing it again
on a very limited basis and that sort of
thing okay thanks for sending in the
questions folks I'm gonna hop in here
with C stress manage says what's my
daily routine so it buries a little bit
here are the things that basically
always happen so I usually wake up
around between like 5:30 and 6:30 or so
a lot of times I'll sort of wake up on
my own at about 5:30
ideally I'd sleep a little bit longer
depending on what I have going on I may
just get up start my day I'm a morning
person overall the reason why I may not
sleep in is because my wife has an alarm
that goes off anywhere between like 6:00
and 6:30 so I get up make some coffee
usually walk my dog Georgie who's
sitting at my feet right here you can't
see her I walk her for about an hour so
rain snow winds whatever we're usually
out for about an hour a couple days ago
cut it a little short because it was
like 30 mile an hour winds and it was 30
degrees it was pretty chilly and like
our eyes were watering even Georgie was
like let's go inside so after that I
usually will sit down do some work for a
few hours like night probably 90 minutes
to three hours and I'll get up from the
desk
I take breaks and stuff but get up take
Georgie for another walk maybe for 30
minutes to an hour and 15 minutes or so
around lunchtime have some lunch
probably go to the gym and depending on
what I have going on I will work for
another couple hours or not all right so
when I do have a lot going on I'll just
I'll put in even more time so good
questions for us to manage I know a lot
of people ask about that I should
probably do a video just on like daily
routine because I it's a fairly frequent
one but it is it's since it's close to
me since I'd do the daily routine every
day it seems really boring because I'm
just it's just what I do so but I
wouldn't I
when I hear about someone else's daily
routine it's moderately interesting all
right
Vermont what's going on okay so let's
see if there's any other questions
and so Herman says for Amazon affiliate
site should we use a branded domain or
an EMD
I recommend a branded domain just
personally and Thomas says do I use
Google tag manager I don't but if you
are savvy with it it's a great way to
track your clicks and have a better
picture of like what's going on so by
the way if you if I answer your question
be sure to give a thumbs up please like
the video I think it helps other people
find it or make make it more suggestible
all right Danish is on good to see ya
alright in stress says you have stress
managed or --g on blogspot and you're
making some money cool good job only
entertainment says I am launched a site
with 10,000 words in seven posts how to
improve my site like content and SEO so
number one make sure you have an edit I
don't know if you're writing the content
but make sure you have an editor to
clean up the grammar alright so make
sure it's good and as far as improving
your site and SEO so since you have the
core content out there make sure the
content is good you could if you can't
hire an editor for whatever reason use a
free tool like grammarly I've been using
grammarly a lot in the last year I have
my assistants use it as well for any
writing or editing so make sure you're
using grammar early it'll catch like
repeated words silly mistakes and
improper usage as well even the free
version as far as SEO I recommend you
check out some of my other videos I have
whole playlist just on SEO but basically
you need to get backlinks that's like
the whole name of the game there all
right
Alwyn says what do I think about
multiple niche is it hard to rank even
with kid kgr content
well I think you're probably better off
focusing on one thing if you want to do
multiple things is it hard to rank maybe
but I know multiple people that have
made kgr work with multiple different
topics on their site and it seems to
work okay now I think honing in and on
one area focusing on one area probably
going to be better however if you want
to spread it out it should be fine and
at that point I mean you're gonna have
to build some links right kgr is great
to get started get some early traction
but if you're like okay I'm gonna try
and go after something more competitive
I'm gonna try to do something bigger
we're gonna have to bring your a-game
you can't just ignore link building
alright kgr is a great way to get
started but if you if you're not gonna
try and I'm not saying I'll wait I know
you're a hard worker and you're you're
good right but you got to do some link
building or promotion even if you don't
think links work I mean they're a factor
right if you look at your competitors
they probably have some backlinks oh and
I see jaren's on what's up good to have
you on buddy one of our kind moderators
and Dennis says grammarly works awesome
very cool Danish says is it safe in
terms of SEO to have two links from two
different posts the same domain added to
a guest post yes however so is it safe
to have two links so yeah
basically it's going to be fine I would
recommend you have the links go to
different posts since we're talking I
kind of look out lost in the question
but yeah it's fine that's cool all right
Thomas says what metrics matters in
terms of traffic ie new user sessions
pageviews usually I'm looking at like
the number of pageviews personally so a
number of pageviews and
think you know you can monitor all of
them but I think pageviews is mainly
what I look at to be honest with you I
don't know if I should be looking at
like users instead but I mean when
you're talking about like one user going
to like 10 pages like that's ten
pageviews right so that's more relevant
to me in my opinion so usually you'll
find most people are not going to more
than like one or two pages all right
cool I had a couple questions that I saw
in the comments by the way if you're
watching the replay feel free and you
have a question feel free to put it in a
comment thanks for watching the replay
put it in a comment and I'm gonna try
and do a good job on digging through
these questions and putting them in
other sessions and since we are getting
close to 10,000 subscribers I'm probably
going to do like more live streams over
the next couple weeks again as I was
looking at my schedule and stuff that's
part of the reason why I took a break
from doing all the live streams because
I mean it does take a huge amount of
time and stuff like that and you know I
needed a break so one of the questions
that I have seen over the last couple
weeks how many times should use a
keyword in a post and if you're watching
the replay leave a comment in the chat
how many times do you all recommend
using a keyword in your post so let me
know in the chat let's get some activity
out there and if you do have questions
feel free to ask next I will say I see
we have some more people on which is
great so let me know where you're from
let me know if it's your first time on
and stuff like that okay
echo says you launched a site in the
beginning of July you have 24 posts and
184 monthly visitors is that good I
don't know the thing is yeah that's good
all right there's a couple things going
on here yeah that's great you're doing a
good job and do more so
number one you took action you took
action you did something you published
24 posts I'm sure you learned echo let
me know have you learned a lot of stuff
along the way about content and what
seems to be working you probably see
some posts or getting more traffic than
others and what can you like learn from
that so the thing is if you if you look
at some people who maybe they take my
course right five-figure a niche site
there's a couple students in here right
now if I figure niche site you have like
the framework you have the play book
exactly on like what you need to do and
when and you have support from me and my
assistant to like look at your keywords
check out your site like look at things
and make sure you're not making mistakes
if you're doing this on your own
184 visitors per month that's fine
that's great if you're in the course and
you're taking action each week I would
say maybe you're a little bit behind but
if you're doing this all on your own
from like free resources and stuff
that's great
keep it up my advice echo is to go ahead
and like try and figure out what's
working well and do more of that and
then look at the post that maybe aren't
working as well and do less of that
wrestling Empire says yeah same question
can you add multiple niches in one site
well the cool thing about like working
online you got a you know you got a
keyboard get a laptop whatever you're
like connected to like everything right
you can do whatever you want so if you
want to put multiple niches on your site
do it no one can tell you no that is the
great thing you don't have a boss
leaning over your shoulder saying hey
you know what the priority should be
like stop working on that and do this
other thing that's a complete waste of
time
wrestling Empire you literally can do
whatever you want and I think you know
people have asked that what do I
recommend I say focus because there's
tons of opportunities out there endless
opportunities and if you start getting
sucked in then you're going to lose
focus and you're
gonna spread yourself too thin so I
recommend focusing on one area first
until you have good traction then you
can sort of you know experiment more but
don't don't start experimenting before
you're ready Thomas says why pageviews I
think I answered that in the answer but
let me know if you have follow-ups all
right
Mannix says how often do you update a
written blog post is there any pattern
or do I do it randomly pretty much
randomly alright and another question
that was sent in oh we'll go back no but
nobody answered but that's alright how
many times you use a keyword so usually
if it's a keyword golden ratio type
keyword if you're unfamiliar with the
term there's a playlist link in the
description masterclass on the keyword
golden ratio keyword golden ratio I
recommend you use it once in the title
and then once the copy that's it if it's
some other like like short tail keyword
short phrase for example so let's say my
keyword golden ratio phrase just as an
example is best ballpoint pen for
journaling I only want to use that once
in the copy and then once in the title
however you may use ballpoint pen more
than that right you may use ballpoint
pen two percent of the time something
like that because or pen you may use it
four percent or something shorter
phrases can be used more often longer
phrases it's less likely for those to
appear and if you want sort of a rule of
thumb I would recommend you go check out
your competitors
who's ranking well that has an affiliate
type website use a tool like SEO quake
which is free it's a plug-in or an
extension for your browser and you can
see how often they're using the keyword
right I mean literally you can just go
look and then aim for the average
there's other tools out there that do
deeper analysis I had a demo with market
Muse the other day and it looks awesome
it like goes and analyzes like thousands
of data points and sees how many times
many different related
keywords are used and they tell you how
often to use it the problem with Markham
use is it's extremely expensive it's
basically for like a content writing
company so it's like over a thousand
bucks a month for like the basic package
so it's really made for an agency or
it's made for like a media company
that's publishing a ton all right all
right stress manage yeah good job keep
me posted on the progress of your site
and all that I appreciate the compliment
there Dennis says the hard part is
getting started and trusting in yourself
just keep moving forward indeed yeah I
think I just got an email on the hire me
page I do some small amount of
consulting and the person was just like
watch all your videos I have like a good
idea of the niche I want to get into I
don't know how to pick the keywords and
I'm just not confident to like pick the
keywords and really you just got to pick
something like you just got to start and
then do it and then you're gonna make
some mistakes and then don't make those
mistakes again and you'll be able to
figure out like how to make it work now
if you get started don't jump around too
much like don't try to launch an
affiliate site and then try and do
Amazon FBA at the same time there's too
much stuff to learn if you if you make a
beginner type mistake in one area you
want to learn four you don't want learn
from it you don't want to make a
beginner mistake in one area and then go
to FBA make some other mistake and
trying to drop shipping make some
mistakes there because then the one
you'll feel bad you've wasted money you
waste the time and you'll really feel
bad because you failed in like three
different areas but you never allowed
yourself to learn from those mistakes
and not make them again so stick with
something at least for a little while
whatever it is I start a podcast do a
YouTube channel start a blog it doesn't
have to be affiliate oriented just you
know do anything
do something all right Yokohama life
what's up good to see you buddy
you're moving to a new home so you're
picking our oh so you're packing things
are hectic you're gonna ask about the
case there was a post asking about the
kgr and read it recently cool what would
they say I I find that I think I've
mentioned this before
I'm not bit I don't do anything on
reddit basically but my observation is
you know they're mean they're they're
mean to outsiders so I just I stay away
but it'd be interesting to see the
chatter going on over there all right
Green says do I recommend using an
Amazon plug-in or use one link from
Amazon so the people that may not be
familiar you can sign up for different
Amazon associate programs across the
world I think there's like 14 or 17 some
of them are more difficult to get into
like you may have to have a bank account
in that country or an address in that
country but some of them you could just
sign up for have them send you checks so
I have more experience with like one
link but I do recommend there's a couple
plugins out there one of them is a awp
and that's one that I've seen like grow
and improve over time I think that's a
great tool and it does some of that
geo-targeting for you and allows you to
you know have larger images have links
tables feature boxes and so on there's
another one called pro associate and I
recently checked that out a little bit
that's a nice tool as well and I have a
friend named Matt Allen over at dumb
passive income and he has a new plugin
over there called Amma links Pro and
it's just rolling out I don't have links
in the description for any of this stuff
so you just google it but that those
were great plugins by the way I forgot
to mention earlier but there are some
affiliate links in the description I
believe I think I put some affiliate
links in there so if you follow one get
a commission
appreciate it it's no extra cost to you
but if you want to check out some of
those tools I appreciate it
alright Thomas says I know you tried to
adsense it didn't work if I tried
premium ad networks no Sean's on what's
going on and Thomas its main for me
there's a couple things going on so one
I'm mainly targeting like buyers
keywords if you go after other keywords
you may have lots of traffic in the best
way to monetize is through ads but I
haven't spent much time with ads alright
Echo says all your knowledge has been
for me niche perceived its Pat Flynn
income school be planning on buying a
course once you start gaining income
cool that's great and I mean I didn't
take a course specifically on this stuff
but I think one of the one of the things
I was lucky with is I I was able to
network pretty quickly and talk and have
a mastermind group with people that were
ahead of me by a pretty significant
amount even like right when I first got
started and then I slowly leveled up but
I learned a lot from just chatting and
having conversations with people all
right
wrestling Empire puts put a question in
here do I think buying a domain is a
must or one can earn money with a free
WordPress website this like WordPress
com all right I don't know all the the
