it's dug here this is the weekly QA so
this is the free-for-all Q&A you can ask
questions a few were sent in it looks
like we have a handful of people on and
I hope that people can hear me can
people actually hear me all right all
right I think hopefully so we have
motion we have Marty
we have Adrian what's up guys and Raul
hi hi and Raul and Dennis Raul says
income from your site is like Doug
Doug's hair never grows grows a little I
you know I haven't shaved in a couple
days how's everyone this week Sharon
says I'm loud and clear fantastic and a
couple things so if you're new to the
channel or if you're new to the live
stream please let me know in the chat
want to give you a personal shout out
you'd also let me know in the comments
below another quick thing just curious
does anyone know like the reference of
this mug right anyone know what this is
all about leave a comment if you're
watching it not live or you leave a
comment in the chat so anyone know what
this is all about if you do feel free to
paste a link to a video which goes to
the reference just curious if people
know why I have my face on my coffee mug
all right so a couple things we'll cover
today if you're new to the channel and
stuff and you have a common question
like my man
latest trends how to grow a website I
encourage you to follow the link in the
description it's niche site project com
/faq that's a question that you know
maybe you could go check out there Brian
is on as well Steven says hair is
overrated I agree and latest trends is
new so how to grow here's the thing so
some of the questions and you'll hear me
do this a couple of times so how to grow
a website well it's too broad of a
question it's not a good question for
this format it's more
and it's a very long answer and it's a
very unspecific question so my answer is
not going to be helpful unfortunately
you will publish content and you will
promote the site not helpful right so
you really want to ask something
different and again I encourage you go
to the FAQ section if you have you know
like some question
go check there it's probably been asked
and answered in that format a couple
we move on the word questions sent in so
thanks folks for sending those in I'm
gonna hit those as we as we go through
certain parts I'm going to point out a
couple links so there's fa Q's there's a
whole process so latest trends check out
the niche site process it's the second
link as well there's a couple playlists
that you should check out about the key
word golden ratio one goes deep around
the master class and using the key word
golden ratio what it is all those
details the second one the second
playlist is a bunch of success stories
so people that have used the key word
golden ratio with success there are a
few affiliate links I'll mention a
couple grammerly is awesome I've been
using it for all the writing that I'm
doing and it's really helpful because I
a lot of times make mistakes really
helpful any of these affiliate links I
get a commission so I appreciate using
them helps pay for hosting blah blah
blah blah blah
there's also rhihub that's actually
recommended by Amazon and the Amazon
associate details and other
documentation site groans the hosting I
recommend and SEM rush is the tool that
I recommend all those are affiliate
links I appreciate it if you use it I
have a podcast with my wife about
corporate life and surviving it I got
laid off for my job but if you go check
out surviving the nine-to-five
you could hear about like my candid take
since I don't have a corporate job now I
could speak freely and I don't have the
BS or be politically correct go take a
look or give it a listen you can
subscribe and actually leave a comment
or mention in the chat would
you listen to the podcast if I put it on
the channel on YouTube and just put up
the thumbnail and just let it let it
ride all right if you do have questions
you type them in the chat and I'll get
over to them all right any other new
folks on it looks like I'm not a hundred
percent sure why but it looks like some
of these live streams have just like
less people on them in general we'll see
how it goes we've only been on for a few
minutes here
all right so latest trends also asked
biggest SEO factor is backlink or not
were you from latest trends just curious
what's your name meet the community
welcome I don't know
no one knows the biggest factor and I
would say there are three main things
and this is like straight from Google I
don't have the reference exactly so it's
content backlinks and then what they
call rankbrain which is you know
algorithm or I guess it's more like
machine learning and a black box for us
we don't exactly know what's going on
there but those are the biggest ranking
factors in the three I would say
backlinks are pretty important some
people will tell you that backlinks are
not important at all I think they're
probably a little important all right
Adrienne mentions Graham really is
awesome especially for people whose
first language is not English and even
for people like me who just write poorly
it's really helpful so and it basically
catches mistakes and if you get the
premium version which I do recommend you
can check if any of the work was
plagiarized so if you hire a writer it's
really useful when you first start
working with them to go ahead and be
able to check to see if they've copied
too much content from somewhere right if
they use like little phrases if it's
like 1% or less probably fine even if
it's like 2% could be he just comment
raises that are used out there all right
jack says can you make money on a Mitch
site that doesn't have affiliate
products for customers yes the niche
site would definitely get a lot of
traffic have I ever done a site like
that
yeah so if you don't have products to
recommend you're probably going to be
showing ads or doing email marketing
there are tons of business models out
there but in general if you create a
site that doesn't have products to offer
then ads are probably a good way to make
money all right next we have Sharon says
in my expertise does having a video
gallery affect your SEO positively or
does it matter
I have no expert experience in that area
my hunch is well actually I've no clue I
like to put youtube videos in so I don't
know if that's helpful if you're putting
YouTube videos that's probably good and
I don't know about you know a video
gallery I would probably just stick to
like YouTube videos or publishing on
YouTube and then putting it on your site
I don't think for example let's say you
use Vimeo and you publish content on
Vimeo a video on Vimeo then you put that
on your site I don't believe that Amazon
can knock him aside I don't think that
Google can from an SEO perspective like
get to that video
however on YouTube they can't understand
what you're saying they can see the
interaction they can understand the
topic I mean what the video is about
so yeah that's probably helpful alright
um Rudy what's up from the Netherlands
all Wayne how's it going latest trends
is from India and it's in KITT all right
hi hi says
you have a question do you think Google
will randomly rank a new site every now
and again to test then I'm not a 100%
sure like the subtext of what you're
asking but it's literally like how
Google works like they're a be testing
results over and over again
so yeah most of the time if you like
start us your site like you'll and you
look on the search console you will see
you're ranked number one for some term
that you are amazed that you would rank
for but there's only one impression
that's showing that Google moved you up
to number one to test and they observe
the results from the user and if the
user bounced if they spend time on your
site etc and I could be missing or
messing up a couple of the details here
but in general yeah they're testing all
the time all right good
hi Abdullah says why don't make a
tutorial practically alright so I'm
gonna talk about Graham early because I
see a lot of questions in here that the
grammar is like really bad and I imagine
English is not your first language stuff
like that so I would recommend check out
grammarly it's free right you can go
check it out it's free you could pay for
the premium version but it'll really
help your questions so that I could read
them and understand them and I don't
know what you're talking about I don't
know what you're trying to ask me I
think Marty's a little bit kinder than I
am he's trying to help you Thank You
Marty you're a nice guy so okay I'm
gonna move on all right Rudy nix says
and from the Netherlands so really says
I say don't follow Yoast serious why not
it's me the Yoast tool is made for like
a general audience so if you try to use
a super advanced keyword research like
the keyword golden ratio and then you
try and use a tool which is targeted at
a general audience you're gonna have
trouble so if you're doing advanced
keyword research like the keyword golden
ratio then don't use Yoast you're gonna
end up keyword stuffing it's a mess all
right so if you're doing advanced stuff
don't follow the suggestions that Yoast
gives you because you're gonna be
keyword stuffing does that make sense
Rudy and I'm gonna try and shoot through
some of these questions here Raul says
my site has a content page on its home
page 7,000 words could this strategy
might help or hurt the site I don't
recommend that it's kind of an old way
of do it doing it I think that's what
people were doing when I started so
probably in the 2010 to 2014 that was
the case but I would generally not do
that I don't think it's I think that's a
bad way to approach it
cool and Adrienne says you listen to the
podcast yes I saw you'd love to comment
thank you for doing that I can't
remember if I like approved it or
whatever but thanks for checking it out
hi hi says on your reports with the kg
are you noticed that you have not ranked
on Google yet however will you ranked on
Bing with the kg are cool Auto 24/7 says
you wrote two articles one ranked at 17
for the keyword golden ratio and the
other is 123 so it's cool awesome all
right I'm gonna look at a couple
questions that were sent in so this one
was from Mike he says I hope you're
doing well I have a site that's four
months old
last month you saw some sick success you
made 75 bucks from Amazon you were
starting to get more traffic like 30 to
40 visitors a day however at the core
update in August sent the traffic down
to 10 to 15 per day which is
demotivating you made sure most of your
content is the highest quality right now
when you think of writing content you
don't have the same drive as last time
do you suggest you take a break maybe
build links how do I keep motivated and
you also said sorry for telling the life
story lol thanks for doing it I provide
nothing but value all right thanks for
the compliments Mike a couple things
here number one on motivation I'm
literally drafting and I need to finish
today a post on motivation and
publishing a niche site project on
Monday so if you're not on the email
list you should sign up you could follow
any of the links to niche site project
there's usually several ways to sign up
for the email list and you can get
notified on that as far as the you know
what the person should do so a couple
things I would recommend if you were
impacted by this update in August and
traffic went down by the way a couple
people mention this to me right there's
a couple things you could look at I
would investigate the sites that display
and analyze the on-page and off-page SEO
and just general metrics that you can
get ahold of compared to your own site
you may find that the contents much
longer or maybe it's a much more
authoritative site or maybe you see that
the sites aren't that good now I would
probably not necessarily like just move
on to link building just to move on but
that could mean if you're not skilled in
that area it's a good place to
investigate start learning how to do
that kind of stuff it's a valuable skill
to have as far as keeping motivated
sometimes you just need to take a break
so everyone needs a break and it can be
hard if you are like if you are what am
I trying to say if you're trying to do
something on the side and you're working
a lot of hours during the day and then
you're you're doing stuff in the evening
and you're maybe a little tired you're a
little burnt out taking a break could be
good and if you're literally not
motivated maybe taking a break is a good
thing and you can move on to something
different it's great Mike that you're
looking at doing something still related
to your site but something we can take a
little bit of a break as far as keeping
motivated I mean to think you know check
out the post on Monday but a lot of
times that break is really gonna help
additionally you got to remember like
why you're doing something and then
usually that'll help you push through
the inconvenience of like dealing with
issues there will be issues over and
over again all right cool
let me get back to the chat Andrea from
Maryland what's going on good to good to
see ya you changed the me main keyword
for one of your post and you deleted the
pages related to the old niche and added
10kg are toast Google has only indexed a
few pages and still has a few deleted
pages indexed do you think I started a
new sandbox period I don't think so how
old was your site I don't think that is
the case all right I just need to make
sure I don't think there's any any
moderators in here so I'm a I'm gonna
just promote a couple people just in
case so I'm gonna Marty and Adrien I'm
gonna make you these are fine students
from the five figure niche site course
so I'm gonna make you moderators just in
case if you see anything weird going on
wait a zero-zero strike policy so all
right and I don't think anything's going
on but I just I observe that I see him
getting behind in the chats okay next
Raoul says can i guide more about the
featured snippet like which plugin to
get schemas for Amazon affiliate post so
there's no set way to get the featured
snippet you need to have excellent
content and there are three main things
that you need to have on your site if
you want to be featured in most cases
bullet points numbered lists and tables
so make sure you have those in most of
your posts and no one knows what to do
no plug-in is gonna make it happen so
Google picks these based on like what
the users are doing on your site and how
useful it is
Gotham says to start an Amazon affiliate
micro niche site how many keywords must
we have Gotham go check out the FAQ
section I literally answer that one with
more detail but like 10 or 15 I don't
recommend you do anything micro why
limit yourself do you need to select
keywords every location to the US if
you're focusing on the US yeah totally
yeah you definitely need to focus and
like set it for the US yes
okay Abdullah says you're saying why
don't I make a tutorial practically Oh
make like a practical like an
over-the-shoulder you know what people
ask me to do that all the time I'm not
sure why I haven't like done it because
a lot of people do ask I think it may be
that here's the risk right so I have I
have a course right so I have a course
where I go over like things in detail
right there's some students here and it
works there's I mean it works really
well and you get a lot of support what I
don't want to do is and I may need to
figure this out Abdullah because I think
your your questions vow and sorry I
misunderstood it before I believe that
if I created such a tutorial there are
I'm gonna I don't want to have to
support and get a bunch of emails I'll
just be honest with you I need to figure
out how to solve this all right so it's
not your fault but if I get a bunch of
emails asking tons of questions I don't
have time to answer them all I have a
lean team I have a couple of years that
helped me out with very specific things
and I answer as much as I can and my
fear is that if I like do say a 10 step
tutorial which maybe maybe I would do 10
sub to toriel where like I go through
some of this stuff
well I'm gonna I mean I'll tell you
straight up I have a course I'm not
gonna put all the details in there and I
already have like a lot of people
sending me very basic questions and they
could just look up on their own and I
don't want them to then say oh you know
what Doug you created this video but
it's out of date that sort of thing so
and I need to figure out how to do that
that said Abdullah go to my site there's
like basically my I created a PDF on
this it's like a 90 page tutorial on how
to do this alright so
it's all there it's definitely all there
you just have to take the initiative do
it alright okay
Shahid says can you explain a bit how to
build quality backlinks yeah I'll just
tell you real quick and there's if you
go to the FAQ section I kind of go over
this point you into a couple good areas
to go I recommend you do blog commenting
to network within your niche and then do
outreach you know we chat with people
you know become their friend and then
try and guess post very simple couple
steps and that's that's what I would
recommend Rhys is what's a good rank
checker for Google I use I think they
changed it to sir probe on is that right
everyone's sir provide I'm used to be
called sir blab code at UK I have a
video on it I think they just changed
the name to something more brandable
Dennis says I have similar content on
multiple articles they are essentially
item list etc what do I think
well make sure everything is unique as
possible always for questions like this
if you always have the searcher in mind
the visitor on your site how can you
serve them the best and provide them
with helpful information so don't be
redundant and if you make it unique and
have the visitor in mind you should be
in good shape as we scroll down
okay Kendall what's up is there a ratio
on selling blogs versus informational
should you write three to five
informational for every one that you
have affiliate links 50/50
I recommend 50/50 that is a frequently
asked question if you follow the link
you should be able to get a little bit
more detail but 50/50 you don't need to
do three to five you can do three to
five informational and I would say it's
not necessarily like I mean you could
put affiliate links in your
informational post it's more the
searcher intent is it a buyer's keyword
or not a buyer's keyword that's how you
should approach it alright Abdulla
doesn't like that I just keep talking
about theory and you want a tutorial so
here's the reason why
Abdul I'm glad sorry for the
misunderstanding I think it was just a
translation thing that's a very good
question it's interesting because what
I'm teaching is principles concepts
things that you could translate to other
places I'm teaching you how to create
systems and use templates and repeat
your process and I'm teaching you an
approach you can go take and do anything
else it could be planning a vacation or
a party or whatever I'm teaching you
like real skills if you want the
step-by-step tutorials they're out there
you can go find them
but if you're just copying a process
that someone else is doing and you're
not understanding the principles behind
it then you're always gonna be bothered
so that is part of it and the other part
is I'm lazy I guess okay good question
I'll think about it
vacations says use the kgr for your
first post and you're ranked number two
within 20 hours fantastic
congratulations and Sharon or who is
mama needs your wine
what's the name again totally lost my
train of thought I'm just looking for
the name here now Andrea that's right
Andrea says her sight is nine months old
I don't think you started over in the
sandbox I don't know I'm not sure what's
going on something though
Gowtham says does the kid gr apply two
keywords for the search volume more than
720 and less than thousand no per
definition which I could do because I
made it up it's under 250 so one thing
and someone pointed this out in a video
the other day they said search volume
data is inaccurate tools tell me
different values so your formula won't
work because it's based on flawed data
and I think the income school guys good
guys Jimmy and Ricky by the way they
pointed out the same thing however the
reason why it's still valid is it gives
you a relative sense right the keyword
search volumes give you a relative sense
compared to each other where the ranking
and the kg are the keyword golden ratio
is very strict it's a very aggressive
formula to take into account different
tools that are providing different
information different algorithms are
used all that stuff and I think it at
this point I don't even have to tell
people that it works because there's
enough other people saying that it does
work and they have gotten results and I
don't even have to defend it anymore
but that said Gowtham no kgr doesn't
apply and there's some reasons for that
if you check out the Masterclass video I
talk about why 250 is in the formula
thanks Adrian no worries you can head
out of course when you need to
and yeah that's funny all right so now
duel is asking for people's Facebook
username and of course Marty do whatever
you got to do but I would say now don't
do that
all right next Jaron oh what's up buddy
shoot me an email if you want to catch
up supermanned your post ranked on the
second page in a week without any
backlinks fantastic keep up the good
work
roll says how many blog links how many
guest post links can you create without
being noticed by Google I don't know I
don't know the answer to that question
you can probably do 20 blog comments per
day or so real manual you know comments
you probably do 20 per day and it'll be
fine how many guest posts links can you
do per day basically you could probably
if you're if you're asking the question
it tells me that maybe you're just
getting started around well is that
accurate and that tells me that you know
you're probably not gonna be able to get
more than like one guest post per day
and I would say if you can get one guest
post per day do it it'll be fantastic
but I doubt you can and you can
basically do as many guest posts as you
could do and I think you'll probably do
fine always says you think your site
needs conversion optimization perhaps a
lot of sites could benefit from from
that sort of thing Steve says someone is
running core reports for pretty cheap
this core reports will help you figure
out what you need to rank better oh cool
good deal
and then veep says what's the CTR the
click-through rate for my sites I don't
know off the top of my head last time I
looked at this kind of data it was
somewhere between like thirty and sixty
percent depending on the site and stuff
like that
and veep says you have seven point seven
is that good or bad
all right I don't know I think maybe
meant to say conversion as reported by
Amazon and if so if that's what you're
asking then it's like between like
eleven thirteen percent or something
like that but the click-through rate on
my sites is a different metric in wide
range Auto says how can you increase the
CTR of your site when you have when you
target less keyword volume so cool thing
is I have a couple free trainings where
I talk about 17 ways to improve the CTR
on your site so if you search for that
auto 24/7 it's like an hour or so and
you're over 17 ways that you can go
check that out that you can improve the
content you should go check it out and
here's the thing though if you are only
getting like a couple visitors per day
you're probably not gonna be able to go
and make these changes and you know
improve the sales like that's just the
way it works if you don't have much
traffic then you need more so without
knowing more details I would say Auto
24/7 get more traffic don't worry that
much about the conversion rate and JY h
says lazy as part of a healthy diet yes
indeed I can only do so many things you
know all right Steven
says kgr works for sure thanks Suman
says according to Maas according to a
research Maz tool is the most accurate
providing accurate data age refs is
number four
really
I wonder who did that research was it
Maz maybe just kidding
all right Alok says I'm doing a product
website just like this is why I'm broke
you want to know what strategy could
make this website funnel some good
traffic that converts the website six
months old and getting twenty to forty
visitors a day and making a few sales
but it's a lack of traffic Marty says it
takes time so keep building it and gain
traffic add a good post and target more
keywords I I'm gonna recommend that I
mean this is why I'm broke is like a
viral site and it's like four or five
years old at least it was featured on a
bunch of like big sites when it launched
so I'm gonna recommend I mean I don't
think you're gonna be able to make much
traction in it maybe you could learn a
lot and if you do like actually target
some keywords
maybe but I mean if you're basically
doing just like this is why I'm broke
there's very little content there's I
mean you're trying to copy someone who's
like way overpowering you it like you're
not gonna be able to compete with them
so I don't know how can you get some
good traffic that converts would that
business model have no idea cuz it's a
viral kind of site so you're gonna need
to focus on viral content and I mean
social doesn't work the same way that it
did four years ago not even a year ago
so I would say do something else
all right Adrian says you started to
answer tons of questions on Quora what's
my experience I haven't done it don't
know if it helps at all I have heard
good things from some people you had
back links to the relevant articles on
my site Adrian I have no clue but report
back to me when it's had time to soak my
thought is if you can get traffic
through those links it's probably gonna
be pretty helpful so I think if you I
think if you put time into it like if
you keep at it probably for another say
one month or so and you're getting a lot
of content out there on Quora I bet it
will have a good result all right veep
says sorry from MIT for asking an
uncrewed question you meant the CDR
according to the google search console
oh I have no idea no clue I'm sure and
says do I use Pinterest to get traffic
no I don't and I believe from what I've
heard from most people for Amazon
affiliate sites Pinterest traffic is not
going to convert very well people are
not trying to make purchases directly on
Pinterest so Derek says do I ever what's
up Derek good to have you on
do I ever duplicate the calls to action
when posts with multiple items would I
consider it risky what's my take
so I usually don't duplicate calls to
action I may have different calls to
action for different items so check out
product a on Amazon or check out product
B on Amazon or something like that and I
don't think that's too bad as long as
you don't have too many affiliate links
generally less is more that's my belief
so I usually maybe have like one word so
affiliate link for each 100 to 300 words
or something
so don't you know overuse your affiliate
links and if you have the right traffic
on your site people that are actually
interested in making a purchase
and you don't have to hit him over the
head with too many links right curious
devil says can I predict the future of
the Amazon Associates
I think no not not really it seems like
a lot of people buy stuff on Amazon
there's a lot of affiliates out there I
think there may be changes I assume
probably in three to five years things
will be even a little bit different
right maybe there's more voice search
maybe people are spending less time on
you know laptops and desktop computers
and more time on tablets things may
shift a little bit but I think things
will shift in a slower way I don't
really have any other big predictions I
don't think it's going away I think a
lot of traffic is out there on sites so
if Amazon like discontinued the program
for some reason which I don't think
would happen then people with traffic
would find a way to monetize it and
maybe they would go to Walmart for
example or eBay or something else
Adrian's out see you later right and a
good question
off topic is fine this is the you know
the Q&A day and it looks like we have
quite a few people and we have 48 so I
guess it just took a few minutes for
people to hop on by the way I haven't
asked when we only have 10 likes right
now if I'm answered your question which
I think I've answered like quite a few
of them hit the thumbs up would really
appreciate it be cool if we can get it
up to like say 30 if you're on your
phone maybe you can just like tap and do
whatever you got to do so I think it
helps people find it and all that stuff
subin says that core removes your links
in two to three days I don't do anything
with core so I don't know but Jesse says
this bounce rate effect SEO ranking yeah
it can but it depends so if you just
look at the bounce rate and the silo
then it may not
the full picture maybe you have like a
high bounce rate but like a really long
time on site or maybe like people find
the answer to their question and that's
that's it so but yeah there's a lot of
factors in SEO ranking I wouldn't you
know specifically just focus on the
bounce rate there's a lot of other stuff
going on all wayne says on a post where
you talk about the best type do I use a
table in all of them sometimes not
always oh and Joe is on you made it to a
live Q&A awesome oh and you're one of
the tenth fantastic thanks for liking
the video and it looks like oh yeah we
got up to 21 pretty fast thanks everyone
it's funny all you gotta do is ask right
all right
so he'll says do I update off page SEO
tutorial for niche sites yeah if you go
to niche site prot yeah niche a project
comm slash Amazon blah blah blah is the
second link in the description if you go
there there's like a whole you know
thousands and thousands of words on what
I recommend for off page SEO and I
probably have a dozen videos on it Suman
says have I tried any blackhat methods
for ranking Subin do you actually mean
blackhat like illegal stuff if so no I
haven't tried that if you actually mean
grey hat which is against the google
webmaster guidelines but not illegal
that is different I have done that in
the past I used to do private blog
networks that's what everyone did back
in the day and I used to get backlinks
from Fiverr and stuff like that and you
know who I learned from is like Spencer
Hawes over at niche pursuits he was a
big pbn proponent he actually was part
of if I remember this correctly he was
part of a big network with Hayden
Miyamoto which they sold links there's
lots of links in the 2013 to 2014 period
and that's when a lot of penalties for
private blog networks came down
and Hayden Miyamoto is over it I think
it's knowhat digital and I think they've
you know they've sworn that off other
people that did gray hat that you may
not realize is Pat Flint from smart
passive income right so back in the day
when I first learned about niche sites
and I learned about any kind of like
link building or SEO it was from Pat
Flynn smart passive income I think he
still has it published it's from like
2011 2012 timeframe but it was like you
can buy blinks and you can get a link
wheel and he talks about how to you know
create web 2.0 Xand article spinners and
all this stuff so I did all that way
back in the day and then I got penalized
like multiple times so now I don't do
that anymore long answer to a short
question vacations by Aruba says what
strategy when I used to draw grow a
travel blog to a thousand dollars a
month using monetization like Adsense
and whatever so
I it's the same for like any site it
doesn't matter if it's a travel blog
publish more content this is a bad
answer but it's the same as everything
so published good content make sure
there's people searching for it through
keyword research and then you'll be fine
and I I think you could test each one of
those monetization methods and go from
there
Dennis says so get rid of Yoast or do
you suggest another or just wing it
alright so Dennis I I used Yoast because
there's some useful tools within the app
and I ignore it for any kind of content
stuff so you can use it just don't
follow the suggestions Marty mentions
that you talked to Spencer about getting
penalized for PB ends in his appearances
in podcasts yep Ollie says do I believe
in you yeah go for it
Josh what's up any thoughts and
developing a comprehensive guest post
course yeah you know I was thinking
about this a little bit more the other
day not necessarily on guest post but
here's my thought actually folks let me
know what you think of this so is more
like like outreach all right just
outreach in general because I think
there's some cool stuff out there so for
example like Dave Fox he talked about
doing outreach to nonprofits and
organizations there's a video on the
channel you can even get the templates
for it and so I would think I would
probably put in you know different
outreach methods so that's one another
would be like roundups and I'm testing
some of this stuff right now and then
the other is of course
guest posting and the guest posting is
generally covered in five figure in each
site but I could pull that you know
section out couple it together with
other outreach methods that are
effective and a little bit more unusual
right what's happening now is like there
are people with sites out there that's
that are getting traffic you know that
you get lots of pitches all the time and
what people are doing is using these
outreach apps and tools to send an email
to send follow-up emails and you know
what I do now I just mark him as spam
because they're terrible it's like dear
niche site project I love your blog I am
a yoga teacher and I think our audiences
are really similar I want to guest post
on your site I'm like I don't there's no
overlap I don't know what you're talking
about
so anyway I can tell the outreach is
really terrible and the guest post space
is crowded at this point because there's
so many people using the tools sending
out like you know templates over and
over again they're automating all this
stuff and then they're sending follow-up
emails so a lot of that stuff just goes
straight to my spam folder now thank God
and then if you send out like these
pitches and stuff then you'll you'll
find that a lot of bloggers are just
asking for money at this point because
supply and demand and they know that
they're getting like four emails a day
they want to make some money so they're
like sure pay me 100 bucks and I'll
publish your guest post so that's what
it's the greater - Josh does that sound
more interesting like three methods of
going out there and guest posting it and
I'll tell you I think Josh because I
know that you've been on a lot of these
I think you know what to do so what's
holding you back from actually just
taking the steps and doing it in fact
Josh I think at one point we're gonna do
a coaching session right and I was going
to help you do some stuff but then you
not to and I mean in that session I
could tell you okay do this do that here
in templates all that kind of stuff all
right Sharon says what about Gutenberg
what's my take on it I think it's
awesome I've been playing around with it
and here's a couple things if people
don't know what Gutenberg is it's the
new like front facing editor on
WordPress and it's out in beta you can
do tables with it and I believe you can
create reusable blocks of content and
it's a little I mean like any new tool
anything that you just started using I
don't know how to do everything yet and
I'm a little bit slower but I think the
fact that you can do tables is really
cool by the way if you haven't hit the
thumbs up please hit the thumbs up help
people other find this video and that
sort of thing just come and see says do
I think it's better to have a research
page for products you're promoting
rather than linking within the blog or
does it depend on the blog it depends on
the blog and what you're trying to do
josh says yes definitely outreach is the
Holy Grail and shrouded in mystery so I
don't think so I feel like most people I
mean if you go and search on my blog and
on the YouTube channel I mean I think I
pretty much lay it out but maybe maybe I
skip some steps or something I'm not
sure
Josh mentions that here's what's holding
me back I need to have my hand held you
bought literally 30,000 per month and
links for clients so going for free is a
big stretch well if do those links work
Josh I mean if you if you have like 30k
per month experience that's like a lot
right if they work why don't you just
buy the links then if you know what to
do
Jesse says what I suggest putting Amazon
reviews on a blog post to help increase
link clicks do you mean like copy the
reviews from Amazon is that what you
mean Jesse if so no because that is
against the Terms of Service I would
highly recommend you go to the FAQ
section on niche site project there's a
link in the description Jesse and I
think I answered that one in there so
you can't copy reviews can't do it maybe
photos of reviews No so you can't do
that either if you're just trying to
like figure out a loophole that's not
gonna work
so jeaious says an eight-month-old site
with gaining traffic with 12kg our post
you leveled off at a thousand users per
month you had six organic backlinks then
all the links disappeared except scam
advisor what causes backlinks to
disappear if I do not have the search
console set up properly what negatively
affect your traffic alright so are the
backlinks literally gone like when you
go to the place where they used to be
are they actually gone or did they just
disappear
so people removed them so that's one
reason as far as if you have it set up
if you don't have the search console set
up properly properly it could negatively
impact but not necessarily so yeah okay
Josh says so there's a link so you were
purchasing do work well but it's not
your money though it's for work yeah I
know what you mean
so for your own projects your budget is
less but you can do outreach for free
then it would be a game-changer all
right so you guess you followed everyone
and SEO never pounded your head that
this was even possible so you have a
hard
accepting it actually here's a good like
metric people in the chat have you been
able to land guest post and if so just
say yeah I was able to get guest post
blah blah blah and Jesse alright here
I'm gonna be more helpful you can't do
any of that review stuff that you were
trying to do stop trying to think of
loopholes here's what you can do instead
and this may be the little nugget of
wisdom for everyone the state online we
have forty four people on maybe forty
six goes up and down from a copywriting
perspective here's what you do this
works really well alright is everyone
listening in the chat just say hey yeah
I'm paying attention are you ready for
this great tip about copywriting helping
to increase your click-through rate I
know like four or five people were
asking about the click-through rates
getting over to Amazon conversion rates
or people paying attention everyone
paying attention alright
instead of putting the reviews what you
can't do alright here's what you do say
see real reviews on Amazon put your
affiliate link to the Amazon review page
alright it introduces curiosity people
are like yeah I do want to see real
actual owners of the product and the
reviews and you know what I trust the
Amazon reviews over there all that me
personally I don't anymore because
there's all this you know people giving
away free products and getting their
brother-in-law to you know put reviews
up that are fake but if you use that
copywriting trick right it's just a
technique right it's not a trick people
are curious about those products and
they do want to see real reviews and
guess what you're giving them what they
want in the greatest part is they
clicked your affiliate link in it the
cookie is set right the cookie set in
there on Amazon and you can just let
Amazon do their job all right thanks
everyone for playing along
yeah so don't try and copy the reviews
get against the Terms of Service you
know technically if you're not like if
you're not like working with Amazon then
you could like probably take a little
screenshot and you know use it reference
it link back and all that stuff
but just don't don't do what you're
thinking of doing instead use that
copywriting technique with curiosity has
anyone like done that before all right
Derek says I gave away gold hope you're
taking notes thanks Derek appreciate it
all right
I'm already says you would personally
check the signpost for links you've seen
some get removed yep
and that that does happen and one other
thing here's another advanced thing
maybe I should just like wait until
we're about one hour in before I start
really getting started it's good when
the questions slow down a little bit we
can get into deeper stuff here so this
may not be like specifically useful but
here's a way that the keyword going I
need to do a video on this all right
the keyword golden ratio can help you
get backlinks because if you're ranking
number one for something then a lot of
times people will link to your site even
if it's like a term that no one really
searches for if the search volume is
like 10 or something like that you can
get links from big sites I recently you
know did some analysis on one of my
sites and I realized that I was like
it's getting like these pretty badass
links from like really big authoritative
sites with like like if you're into the
domain writing on a draft it's in like
the I don't know like the 50s to 70s
like really high some of them are even
higher I'm not sure what it translates
