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

all right what's up Doug Huntington here

from niche site project today is the

Friday QA I see we have a handful of

people in the house already and welcome

I think people could hear me

usually that that works now it is so let

me know if you can't hear me what you

couldn't hear me say that if you weren't

here anyway gerunds on I see a few

people give me a shout say hello and let

me know where you're at so we have hi hi

we have Dennis we have a anis Jay and

let's see hi hi says one of your

articles is listed on the fifth page of

Google based off of kgr title and any

recommendations with the new Google algo

no no new recommendations so I mean if

you're ranked fifth I would say make

sure your content is really good and I

know your site's pretty young so you may

just have to give it time so always

remember that in Dennis congratulations

so a site went live on August 8th got

his first Commission through Amazon last

night with 10 articles so that's awesome

and this is the classic example where

people are like how long does it take to

make money it could be very short if

you've done things right like Dennis

then it could be really quick like a

month right so less than a month got his

first Commission last night that's

awesome

probably using the keyword golden ratio

let us know Dennis if you're using the

kgr and then if you do things wrong you

may never make money and that that's the

unfortunate thing but you learn along

the way so hopefully you'll learn along

the way so I'm gonna make a few

announcements here as we're getting

rolling and we'll direct people down to

the description area of the the view

here so I don't know if you're watching

on your phone or somewhere else but

there's a frequently asked questions

section alright and it's there's a link

it's the first link a lot of times

there's a lot of like common questions

they're frequently asked that's how they

got the name in fact the one hihi asked

is

exactly that so it's like I'm not

ranking where I think I should what can

I do and the answer is basically always

the same a hundred percent of the time

so I recommend you go take a look at the

frequently asked questions section and

it's how do i improve a kgr ranking all

right so check that out the other thing

I want to mention and it's

time-sensitive so this week I launched

my productivity master class in fact

today I think I'm gonna we're gonna

focus a lot on productivity I'm gonna

try and steer it that way as much as I

can even though the small amount of

control I have over the questions that

are asked but if you have productivity

questions let me know

and it could be I mean you know people

are interested in affiliate marketing so

I would recommend if you want I mean you

could ask questions like how do you

publish so much content maybe even

YouTube focus how was I able to publish

like 60 I think I published about 60

videos in the month of February

alright so that's like two videos a day

right the reason why I mentioning this

is the productivity master class is out

enrollment is open until the end of the

day today Mountain Time so you have

about fourteen hours or so there's a

link in the description it's not related

specifically to affiliate marketing

although some of the examples and case

studies that I provide in the course are

affiliate marketing related you know

that's a large part of you know the

folks that we the folks in the audience

and what people are interested in so

that said you could check out the

details of the course again it's just

open till the end of the day and it's it

basically it'll help you achieve your

goals and I put a little quote in there

that I'll read out loud Charles Duhigg

one of my favorite writers nonfiction

writers he says productivity isn't about

working more or sweating harder it's not

simply a product of spending longer

hours at your desk or making bigger

sacrifices rather productivity is about

making certain choices in certain ways

and I I kind of take that and expand it

into a full course and it'll probably if

you could work on it you know about an

hour

a day or so five days a week you should

be able to get through it in about two

weeks or less

and you could probably work a little bit

faster through it but it's one of those

courses where you get all the

information right away all right so you

you get all the units you get access

right away it does take you time to go

through it and it's not a magic bullet

or anything like that

like I said if you're interested in

increasing your productivity learning

some stuff about project management and

like looking inside some of my templates

and systems and I put together you

should check it out all right the other

thing there's a couple playlists listed

about the keyword golden ratio so check

it out there's a section with affiliate

recommendations I get a commission if

you purchase through my link I

appreciate it if you do I'll probably

talk about some of those a little bit

more specifically and you know one thing

that I'll mention is a new link in the

description a Pinterest traffic webinar

and that's by one of my friends John

Dykstra over at fat stacks who I think

I'll be talking more about him in the

future but that is a on-demand webinar

so it was pre-recorded but you can learn

some stuff about Pinterest traffic which

I don't spend much time on but John does

and he gets a lot of traffic that way

and it's kind of cool he has a different

focus than I do so it's a we have a good

like audience overlap but we don't

overlap on content very much so anyway

check it out there is a course that

he'll offer you at the end but even if

you don't want the course there's lots

of value within the presentation I've

had a few students from five figure

niches I'd go through it and they said

it's a great course is a good complement

different information and they were

happy about getting it so otherwise we

have psych round semrush couple things

few questions were sent in which I'll

I'll talk about momentarily and then I

just have like some random other stuff

I'm going to talk about so if yet if you

do have questions let me know in the

chat and if you are if you're watching

the recording I know a lot of people

watch the replays

feel free to ask questions in the

comments and then all I'll find them

later and hopefully answer them as best

I can so a few people have sent in some

questions and Richard Richard overruled

his first question is am i late the

answer's no you're right on time you're

early

so welcome Richard hun hand says how can

I reapply to the Amazon affiliate

account again you got terminated because

you didn't hit the sales target okay

I'm gonna clean up that question so you

if you apply to the Amazon associate

program and you were accepted and then

you didn't make any sales here's what

you should do so if you have the

opportunity folks hit the thumbs up hit

the like button especially if I'm

answering your question that helps other

people find it and it makes me happier

or something like that I'm not sure

actually it doesn't make me happier but

here's the deal so you didn't make your

sales so you want to reapply well let's

get to the root of the issue why didn't

you hit your sales probably because you

didn't have traffic so you need to like

not just reapply you can reapply you

could do it you could reapply today

you'll be accepted and then the the time

starts ticking again right you have 180

days to make three orders three separate

orders so my recommendation is to figure

out the root cause which is not being

kicked out of the program is because you

don't have traffic I don't know why you

don't have traffic but there's probably

a few things there you have a bad niche

you have bad content maybe it's bad

keywords and it's too competitive so

there's a few things there's actually

several things that can contribute for

your site not getting the traffic that

it requires to make sales now my

recommendation is don't reapply until

you have like ten or fifteen unique

visitors per day and then reapply could

you reapply it sooner sure but what's

the point if you don't have any traffic

so that's my recommendation for you and

I'm sorry Richard that you got

the termination email but you can just

reset but don't don't worry about

getting accepted into the program that's

a slam dunk right that's easy the harder

part is getting traffic so don't don't

even worry about reapplying until you

have some traffic and then hi-hi says

sorry about missing the FAQ nope that's

fine

and it's totally cool I just I really

want to point it out so you're asking if

the kgr the keyword golden ratio is

impacted by the latest algorithm changes

not to my knowledge

No so I'm not making any changes based

on that all right and then anis says

thanks for the efforts you get your

first Commission in June you have 20

articles and you got $20 commission this

month is it normal

well I don't know it all depends on a

lot of factors like the niche the price

of the products you have 20 articles but

are they a thousand words long or

they're like 4,000 words long so I would

say maybe the heart of your question is

are you on the right pace and I would

say yeah

that kicks ass you're doing really good

I would expect an honest report back as

the months go through wealthy year but

as we approach the retail season your

site's gonna grow more and more and I

highly encourage you to reinvest into

content publish more content and that

sort of thing so I think I think you're

in good shape

oh and Juran is mentioning your reading

the power of habit right now it's a

really good book one of my favorites in

yeah I mean I think yeah we talked about

that so I think it's a great book and

then the productivity books really good

- all right Thomas

I'm just having some coffee answering

some questions and talking about the

productivity course so um folks do check

it out and I think there's nothing to

lose right so there's a 30-day

money-back guarantee it's 99 bucks I'll

mention that so it's a little bit more

within the reach of people to like just

quickly make a decision to like buy the

course and check it out and like I said

you should be able to work through the

material within about two weeks and you

have 30 days to check it out and test

drive it my assumption is if you like go

through like the first hour or two like

that will already provide so much

clarity about like what you need to be

focusing on that you'll get value just

from that but if you keep going through

it of course way more valuable okay

brian says you can't stay long you just

wanted to say hi and smash the like

button thanks appreciate that Brian and

yeah others hit the like button I mean

Anna says you're getting 20 visitors a

day so perfect and there you go and back

to Richard Hahn who didn't make sales

goals as I mentioned if you can get like

10 to 15 visitors per day like that is

like you're gonna be getting a couple

orders every few days and $20 commission

is a wonderful start for launching a

site in June so that's pretty cool

Richard says it's a seasonal pride

product and you change the domain three

months back okay all very very

interesting

my recommendation remains the same and I

would encourage you to maybe like find

something that's not seasonal that's

just I mean I try to avoid me personally

I try to avoid seasonal niches and I

also try to avoid like high-tech

products where a lot of them are coming

out often and actually will digress I

was shooting some intros to videos this

morning and a lot of times people ask me

about like what camera I use so I just

have a it is a Canon t7

and I have a sure lens hopper all right

yeah this little camera sure lens hopper

mic on the top here and the one of the

complaints for the rode video pro mic is

it's hard to put the batteries in

but on the shirt it's pretty easy to put

the batteries in here pretty simple to

get into and I think it has like a

hundred hour battery life or a hundred

hours of use per new battery so it lasts

for a long time and I'm paranoid so I'll

usually swap it out like once a week

with just rechargeable batteries and

then the lens that I use for a lot of my

like talking head videos it is a 24

millimeter canon

I think they sometimes call it like a

pancake lens but it's one of these like

really thin very small extremely light

so it's 24 millimeter and it's a F 2.8

if you're a camera nerd you'll

understand what that means but in

general the the lower the number it'll

throw the background out of focus which

looks nice just in general so that this

kind of what I'm rocking for my like

video here so pretty straightforward

enough I've had Canon gear since I

started shooting like thirty

five-millimeter people remember what

that is and I upgraded this camera like

a year ago when I was doing more of

these videos pretty nice because it has

like the real-time dual pixel autofocus

so if I'm like moving around and

vlogging or whatever it'll keep me in

focus or if I'll move in and out it'll

keep me in focus when I'm when I'm

vlogging I have a like a wide angle it's

a ten millimeter to 18 millimeter and

it's not as fast as they say so the

background doesn't get as blurry and

it's not as good in low light however it

was pretty cheap I think it was under

300 bucks if I remember right but it's a

great lens really wide angle and I

actually got it initially because we

were traveling out to the Rockies out

here to Montana where like big landscape

like images would be awesome so I was

like I really want a wide-angle lens so

I picked it up turns out is pretty good

for vlogging as well yeah so that was

just a pure digression about gear

because I just happen to have this

camera here now I was shooting intros

for videos because I'm doing a side

hustle interview series so I've talked

to people like Nick Loper last week a

guy named Shane Myers from rise & grind

picker who's Amazon in eBay reseller

which is a whole other or people

actually leave a comment or leave

something in the chat if you are aware

of like all the reselling on Amazon and

eBay and there's a whole other I mean

this make money online like

counterculture is so big and diverse I

mean some people focus on affiliate

sites other like cpa offers others are

SEO others are on content there's a

whole like side of like reselling out

there that is huge i mean there are so

many giant channels on it but anyway the

point is I talked to this guy Shane from

rising grind picker who's a youtuber

really interesting guy to talk to so

that's out there or it will be out there

when I released the series I also talked

to at least Dharma she's big on

Instagram and has a few courses and she

started like her agency is like a side

hustle and now it's in the like multi

six figures and she like runs it out of

her you know living room essentially and

she's a digital nomad travels quite a

bit so very interesting there and then I

talked to a guy named Dave Young who

used to be a FBI like CPA like forensics

like digital forensics guy so he

investigated like money laundering and

like financial crimes but he had like

the itch and he wanted to like have his

own business and so we worked on several

things on the side but at this point

he's doing drone launch Academy which

again we go into in-depth interviews for

all of these so it's been very

interesting

to hear people's journey and how they

were able to take stack skills from like

their day job they were able to stack

like skills from whatever personally

that they were studying and then figure

out how to like solve a problem for a

group of people very cool and then some

of its simple like the the reselling

right you buy something for cheap and

you sell it to someone else that needs

it for a little bit more super simple

and you can start with like basically

nothing so anyway yeah let me know if

people are like into that stuff or at

least the reselling so anyway I have

this side hustle series going on I'm

excited to release it and oh and I

missed this so Kyle Shelton first-time

viewer what's up in it I'm trying to

catch up on the chat here I think I had

just the right amount of caffeine and

just the right amount of sleep so I'm

talking a mile a minute here and fer ham

is on and the people listed in blue

think those folks those are the kind

moderators so yeah they keep order in

the chat so richard says you were afraid

that you can't reapply because the kg

aren't informational articles are

increasing the traffic on the first page

and like a few hours I'm not sure I

follow that reasoning but yeah I'm not

sure that is I think irrelevant but an

interesting point

John Amazon what's up and my main all

Wayne Thomas says you're having a hard

time finding relevant blogs to comment

on does it still make sense to comment

on blogs that don't give you the

opportunity to link to your website with

your comment yes but it depends on your

goal of the blog commenting I recommend

that you do blog commenting to network

within the niche make friends get them

to remember you and build a relationship

if you are doing it to put a link then

probably not but if you're doing it to

build a relationship then yes so with

anything you do you got to remember like

why you're doing things and your

ultimate goal so I mean if you're not

getting a the value like if you're just

doing it to get a link in the comment

then don't do it but if you're doing it

for something else go for it all right

and then boo chorus Inc says about the

productivity class what does it offer us

that a normal to-do list can do that we

can do ourselves I think maybe one of

those should have been a can't but I'm

not sure what makes my course different

how will it help me so I don't I will

answer your question I don't want to do

like a big sales pitch here not really

my style but essentially actually and

I'll turn it around so Bucharest's are

you getting as much done in making

progress completing projects that you

want to complete are you happy with what

you're doing and if so then you don't

need the course if you're happy with

your productivity then you don't need

the course now as far as a to-do list a

lot of people swear by a to-do list but

a lot of times not always it depends on

you specifically but a lot of times a

to-do list will just be like an ongoing

list and the flaw with a to-do list is

there's not really a priority like

listed and there's no indication of how

long things will take so what may happen

let's say you have a to-do list that

you've been keeping for a couple weeks

and you're you're just like adding more

things so each day maybe you get done

with like four or five or even ten

things but maybe that day you've added

more than you've completed which is sort

of discouraging at the end of the day

you're like oh there was still so much

more to do and I didn't get it done so

there's a few problems with the to-do

list since you mentioned it that's why

I'm hitting it hard

basically were wired to go to the easy

tasks and just say oh you know what this

will just take me like 30 seconds and

I'm gonna go ahead and do that maybe you

do like five or six of those things that

are fairly fast to do you feel good

about it because you marked out five

things but unfortunately those were like

easy things like reply to emails versus

like higher just make

up an example versus like hire writers

to write content so that you could

publish more on your site for example so

if you're spending time on things that

aren't really that important but make

you feel good with the to-do list then

you're not going to complete your goal

right you're not going to complete your

project and a quick so how will help you

it will help you like figure out the

most important things to work on and

then develop a strategy and a plan a

timeline to get it done and part of it

is to identify stuff that you need to

stop doing that aren't really that

important and the course really isn't

about like how can you how can you like

magically complete more stuff and work

faster and stuff like that because I

mean we all have like 24 hours a day we

have to make decisions about like where

we're spending our time people have

families they have potentially other

jobs or other priorities hobbies which

I'll talk about some of my hobbies in a

second which I'm you know placing higher

priority on some of those in the last

few weeks so it'll help you figure out

like what to work on and what not to

work on the other part is let's see the

other part is that go through a couple

case studies where at least one large

case study where I published all those

videos on on YouTube and that was in

February and then during that period I

had one video editor working with me

I had one freelancer each were put in

maybe like five to ten hours per week so

nothing crazy and all of us were left

stressed out when we were working on

publishing all of those verses when we

didn't have a plan so part of the course

is like outlining what you want to do

and then figuring out why you want to do

it and like making the plans so that

you're not stressed out because it turns

out a lot of like the mental baggage is

around like the possibility of what you

can work on

and if you have it very well identified

then this dress kind of goes away so

Bucharest you mentioned no you're not

getting as much done so does that help

does that answer your question all right

and I encourage you if you go look at

the sales page it takes you through

exactly the answer that you you asked

and that's why I didn't want to didn't

want to just like reread the sales page

here and make it a big pitch but I mean

you could take those ideas the things

that I just mentioned and probably make

good progress just based on that all

right electro beats beast's says hey

Doug what I do if my website traffic is

my website traffic has dropped

dramatically I would recommend you look

at you know your your backlinks are

there any bad backlinks you should look

at your Google search console to find

out if you have any like manual

penalties there and you know usually

there's some information though it could

be vague but it kind of gets you in the

right direction

further I would look at the competition

to see if the quality of your site is on

par with the competition the length all

that stuff

I would also investigate the on-page SEO

for specific terms so that that's kind

of the way to approach it

additionally there are algorithm updates

to come out periodically so if you were

impacted in like like on August like in

August and it just started like on the

date like August first then it's

probably related to the recent algorithm

update dawns on what's going on okay and

you boo boo car is boo car is okay cool

I didn't know if that was actually a

name since there's Inc in there but cool

and you said thanks for the explanation

you make a lot of to-do list but nothing

gets done so the course would help you

excellent

Thanks and like I said

there's a 30-day money-back guarantee so

if you're like hey this isn't for me

then that's okay just let me know next

Kyle says you found the kgr video the

other day and you're looking forward to

getting started awesome yeah let me know

how it goes I find a lot of people like

do well and I think Dan the man is

messing with me here so how do I build a

5k per month site so there's a link in

the description and it's like the niche

site process and you could actually

download like the multi parts all put

together in a PDF if something like 90

pages so if you go to the niche site

pride success link which is to my

website a niche site project then you'll

see a general guide on how you could do

that Rek says it's the first time

writing but you've been viewing a lot of

my videos so thanks for the support and

you appreciate the info awesome thank

you and Adam says oh it's Adam from

five-figure niche site what's up good to

have you along you have a guest post

written for a blog with a low DA of 19

and the site has basically zero traffic

is that worth going for debating on

going elsewhere yeah I would say go for

it so the DA I actually don't look at

any like metrics and generally it's good

if the site has some traffic and by the

way Adam where are you judging the

traffic is it just based on like some

rush or aged rats or some other source

in what I what I recommend is just go

for it if it's someone who is publishing

on their blog and it's actually a real

blog that's fine like it takes some time

to get traffic 19 isn't that low I mean

it's so high but it's not bad so Adam I

would go for it alright so John says you

have a new site it's two weeks old and

last Sunday you switch protocols and the

pages started to D indexed

is this normal before the switch so I'm

gonna make some assumption so you say

your switching protocols so I'm assuming

you're going from non secure to secure

and instan new site is two weeks old you

say the pages are starting to D index

and I'm assuming you mean the old pages

are started starting to D index is that

normal

so I don't remember I think you should

have like the redirect setup

there's many guides out there so John I

gotta tell you I don't remember like the

details of going through a moving to ask

us out that migration but there's a lot

of guides out there and I unfortunate

I'm just gonna refer you to just google

that and check it out I don't remember

you will have to there it's always a

little sloppy there's always some like

thing that's left over that you're gonna

have to clean up so that could be part

of it in general you should have

redirect set up to like redirect from

those old non-secure to the secure

should any links be left out there in

the wild right and by redirecting you

also pass the link juice properly your

site's only two weeks old so I'm

assuming you don't have any of that to

worry about at all um Lucas says you

don't find any Mitch that seems

profitable any advice well I would

challenge your definition of seems

profitable so I don't there there are I

would just recommend go to Amazon and

look at the products like dive down into

categories and basically all of them are

profitable all right like stuff is

selling in every single category or it

wouldn't be there so but it depends on I

mean I'm a stickler for like semantics

and in my III there's words in here that

make me challenge your question so you

say you can't find any niche

well there's you know unlimited life

there's slices of slices I mean there's

unlimited niches out there and obviously

people are making money right and

profitable means different things to

different people although it should just

mean making you know profit like more

revenue than your costs so it at that

point like there are tons of them that

are profitable so if we're gonna be

better than others so lots of them are

out there so my advice is to go to

Amazon browse around see what you see

and then maybe you'll get some ideas

additionally I guess Lucas go check out

the niche site process as well link is

in the description and I talked about

like brainstorming niches doing keyword

research like identifying areas in fact

I think I walk you through going to

Amazon so do check that out and I think

that'll help help you identify areas

that you can look at alright Jesse says

does Google rank based on the amount of

affiliate articles versus the amount of

informational articles I don't know

there's like over 200 ranking factors

there there is a threshold in which if

you have too much affiliate content it's

bad

so what I'll answer jesse is a little

bit different and I'm in this I'm gonna

tell you that you should have like 50%

informational and 50% like affiliate

based review content so like Google

doesn't specifically rank on like then

like if you have all informational

articles it doesn't mean you're gonna

rank over a site that has all affiliate

articles right I mean look at the wire

cutter it's basically all affiliate

articles with affiliate links to a bunch

of different affiliate programs however

it's really high quality so just because

you have a site that's informational and

it's a hundred percent informational it

doesn't mean you're gonna rank over

wirecutter makes sense all right

blacksmith says you would like me to do

some discussions with income school so

there's two videos out there where we

did do discussion so I'm on their

Channel and they're on mine I encourage

you to check it out earlier in the year

we talked about doing some more

collaborations but their focus is

elsewhere

so you know we may work together in the

future we're on good terms Jim and Ricky

are super smart their YouTube channels

exploding I think their course is

exploding too it looks like they're

doing really well with like getting

people on but we have much different

approaches with how we look at like

keyword research link building and just

my general approach in their general

approach is one right or wrong no I mean

there's like a million ways to do things

and I think looking at just different

marketers like income school and myself

you can see just the different

approaches that can work great and yeah

so I I would do more discussions with

income school if some opportunity comes

up and we I think we would both be open

to the idea all right

a couple other things I'll digress so

and Dan hopefully Dan am and hopefully

you found the link to the niche site

process and by the way if people are

just hopping on I see there's a few more

people on I do want to remind you about

my productivity masterclass there's a

link in the description enrollment is

open only until the end of the day today

so this is the first like this week was

the first full release of it and I like

to sort of test my courses to make sure

it's the right information so for this

productivity masterclass I first

released it like last December and about

I can't remember like 10 or 15 students

work through it I got some feedback to

like add more project management

material for example so i rereleased it

in March with more just project

management and process

type information case studies so it's

interesting to look at like project

management ideas and how to implement

things versus seeing like a real case

study so I I go through like the like

the book work I guess the prerequisite

information and then I show you in in a

real-life example like how you take

those ideas and like how you can adapt

because basically whatever it is you

start it's just whether it's like a

niche site or whether it's a project to

publish a lot of content on your niche

site or maybe it's published a lot of

YouTube videos things are gonna go

different than you expect now you should

plan ahead of time but you need to have

like checkpoints where you're looking

like are things working like we expect

them to can we approve improve along the

way and then take those ideas and then
