hey this is the live stream it is Friday
we're doing a Q&A session and hopefully
in a minute people can hear me
I see the chat is blowing up over there
give me a shout and let me know that you
can indeed hear me and let me know where
you're from I can actually hear myself
that is actually a really good sign and
I say we have rose on we have Jaron we
have pre tome hey what's up Kevin AB we
have Renee and we have Pratt mesh and
other people okay people were saying you
can't hear me but I was just late just
late for a minute okay
Carl is on cool good to have you on
couple things to quickly announced we
have Wesley on as well Dennis so a
couple things to quickly announce if
you're not on the email list you should
sign up for the email list so if you're
watching live or the recording sign up
for the email list there's a link in the
description
additionally there are multiple
affiliate links in the description
there's a lot of links in the
description if it's a product that you
could buy there's a high likelihood it's
an affiliate link I get a commission it
doesn't cost you any more but I just
want to let you know you also don't have
to buy through my affiliate link so we
do have a few questions that were sent
in ahead of time and then I have you
know just a few things to digress upon
early on here so one thing that I could
tell you about is I published a couple
of videos this week with Alex Cooper not
Alice Cooper the rock guy but Alex
over on WP Eagle it's a awesome channel
he talks more about WordPress kind of
stuff but also a lot of affiliate
marketing and just marketing in general
so I interviewed him and I got to learn
about his background which I didn't know
about
so published that on Tuesday you should
check that out and then yesterday I
published a video where we talked about
like WooCommerce versus more blog type
content for an affiliate site so we
actually discussed the you know the
concepts behind using either or both of
those kinds of sites so you should check
that out because alex has a bunch of
videos on WooCommerce as an affiliate
model sort of a marketplace set up and
we actually talked about why a person
would want to do that or not want to do
that so that said I'm going to look at
the chat again and say hello to some
more people
Dennis we have Gil we had have tis me
we have Chronos Fernando so he'll
awesome fantastic and then vite and I
just tried to abbreviate names that have
more than like one or two syllables just
because I can't pronounce them so
another thing is it's like March 16th
today so we had some some cool days we
had Pi Day a couple days ago the Ides of
March
just yesterday tomorrow a st. Patrick's
Day I'm wearing green for that plus him
going to the gym later but I was gonna
say it's already like well past the
middle of the month and I didn't do a
February favorites video part of it is
because my team and I of which you know
it's made up of two other people we we
published so much stuff in March we
actually got a little bit ahead and then
slightly burned out so I've just I
didn't publish it although I have a deck
of note cards that cover some of the
material I'm not gonna go deep into it
today but I'll mention that I may
publish a February favorite favourites
late but I read a couple books that were
pretty cool
one of them is a power the power of
habit by Charles Duhigg I've read it a
few times but I just I was like rien
spired to read it again so I checked
that out the stories and stuff
throughout are super interesting and I
think each time a different part of the
book seems more interesting to me
further I read more biographies so I
read two biographies more like memoirs
on the comedy side actually so the first
one that I read
by Rainn Wilson who plays Dwight the
office he wrote a book called the
bassoon King he's pretty funny and I
enjoyed reading it we actually just
finished watching the office from my
season 1 all the way to season 9 over
you know winter time here so we really
enjoyed it and then I just happened to
see that book was available and I I read
it so brain is very funny he's really
smart and he he worked for a long time
like honing his craft as like an actor
and being able to play these different
kind of roles of which it turns out he
plays like the weird sort of outsider
well but he has a background in like
Shakespearean like well Shakespeare
plays I mean he did theater and stuff so
he's a very highly skilled person and
yeah super interesting book the other
one that I read was so anyway which is
by John Cleese who a lot of people
probably know from Monty Python
so I liked Monty Python since I was a
kid and it was a pretty funny book and
the cool part in this book he didn't
even get to Monty Python until like the
last 10% of the book so everything was
like a build-up there was a lot of
information from like the 60s so many of
the stories were like from the 60s and
when John Cleese was growing up and
finally the other book that I read is a
Michael Crichton book called timeline so
I usually have a like couple non-fiction
books and then a fiction book that I'm
reading and it's cool to read on the
Kindle cuz you don't know how long the
book is that you're picking up but
timeline is like it's a pretty long book
so it took me a like few weeks to read
and yeah super interesting Michael
Crichton you know obviously a really
good author he wrote a Jurassic Park and
a few others that you probably heard of
but timeline was really good and once
you get to a certain point in the book
there's so much stuff happening you just
like blow through it
and know there were a couple days on the
weekends where I read for two three
hours
because it was you know snowing outside
the book was so interesting all right
the couple questions coming in so pre
Tom asks one but before I get to that
one margin that is awesome which bear is
best that's super funny I just sent a
snapchat to my my sister brother-in-law
and my wife we have like a snapchat
group and we I wrote like a grocery list
and I had like butter
beats battlestar galactica and then
which bear is best that is a deep that's
a deep cut from the office so that's
this pretty good alright it's really
funny and so relevant today so if you
have questions start typing the man I'm
going to do my best to keep up I'm going
to hit pre times right now and then I'm
gonna go to the couple that were listed
quick reminder if you are not on my
email list you should sign up there's a
link below and I do want to give a shout
out to my kind moderators thank you very
very much we have Lance I think I saw
someone else at some point but maybe not
so Lance thank you
sometimes we have others but is super
helpful there haven't been trolls here
recently but you never know you never
know when they show up
you gotta always be prepared ok pre tom
says do I find key word golden ratio key
words myself or have I hired a VA from
up work and are they doing it for you
you found a very hard to find key word
golden ratio keywords alright you I have
hired people before but it's typically
people that I like already trained so
you knew like Jim from like the case
study on my site he's actually local and
there were periods of time where I was
just like Jim you like to do keyword
research you want to help me out and he
found me like dozens of key word golden
ratio keywords as far as hiring people
from up work you could do that and I
think it would be fine I know there are
other
in the course press on five figure niche
site that have hired folks and have made
it work well and as far as like
difficulty in finding them that is
expected and that I think it should show
you sort of demonstrate it's difficult
for other people to find them too so
that makes them a little bit more rare
so I mean it's sort of like proves it
proves that it's harder to find them
Pratt meth mesh says how long does it
take to take to rank a kgr term in the
top three spots in google it depends it
can be as quickly as you know one week
or it could take as long as never so
pretty big range I would say and it
depends on a number of factors so if you
want to refine your question to
something more meaningful
why don't you give that a shot Emile
what's up good to have you on Scots when
doing ninja selection - I suggested
focus on a particular item or a topic
okay when you're selecting in your
brainstorming you should be looking at
both you should look broad sometimes
you'll think of a particular item and
then that'll show you a whole niche that
you never thought of additionally you
could go to Amazon and just start
browsing around different categories and
just see where it leads you
whatever it's interesting so both now if
you're talking about actually selecting
the niche and picking like the brand and
the domain and all that stuff you should
focus on like the higher level topic or
niche or whatever so that you're not
painted in a corner alright and Stephen
actually this is a
nice nugget Steven WOD Stein says my
favorite tasks tasks and all this niche
site stuff is looking for keywords and
your least favorite is outreach and it's
super interesting because I think most
people agree with you Steven
and that makes it all the more valuable
to be able to do the outreach so I've
mentioned it a couple times on different
like formats different venues and stuff
but if you're able to if you somehow
convince yourself that you like to do
outreach and believe me when you start
getting better at it you like to do it
like you just enjoy it more and I could
tell you that if you can make yourself
like outreach you'll be able to you know
do more it's kind of like kind of like
running some people are like I hate
running long distances I don't know why
anyone would run turns out I love
running it's a nice way to like get away
from things and I don't even try to you
know some people were like I gotta
listen to music I have to distract
myself and I used to listen to music
books podcasts whatever but now I just
want quiet like I don't want to have
earphones in I just want quiet me
running by myself or maybe a dog for you
know 45 minutes plus so have you get
convinced yourself somehow even if it's
a psychological trick do you like
outreach you'll do better off because
everyone likes keyword research you
don't have to for keyword research you
don't have to rely on anyone else you
don't have to be rejected over and over
again so you can find keywords and feel
like you've done a good job even if
you're not getting results for outreach
you can and will be rejected the
majority of the time no one likes that
okay cue dog what's up I'm doing well
today's and the question is why don't I
look at the DA when blog commenting and
pitching for guest posts because I'm
looking for relevancy so typically when
I'm finding a list of prospects they're
so highly relevant that I don't care so
much plus it is a metric that can be
misleading at times for example if you
do if you follow my suggestion of doing
five blog comments a day for 30 days
your da is probably gonna move up all
right and then if you do it for I don't
know like a hundred days and you have
thousands of backlinks nofollow
backlinks from blog commenting your da
is probably gonna be huge right so
that's one thing I don't mention now my
goal isn't to have a high da so it's
kind of a like meaningless thing but
that's why I don't look sometimes you
could find some really high da sites and
when you go look at their backlink
profile it's like all blog comments
little tidbit all right
jaren says on most of my niche sites and
my collecting emails and doing marketing
I am on mine yeah it it can be a
valuable use of your time
if you have time to do it if that makes
sense Jared and the thing is for me I
like to do I enjoy like the the fun the
email funnel and the autoresponder and
then that portion of its a copywriting
portion of it so I actually literally
enjoy it and I would recommend if you're
just getting your site going you don't
even worry about it until you're getting
500 visitors a day or something like
that and then after that you get you
have to make a decision are you gonna
put time into it or not so for the
project a white hat site where Rob and I
were getting tons of traffic we had like
we had the ability to add an email
component to the site but we elected to
just go content
link's that's all we focused on in fact
at one point in time I was helping Rob
like had before we started working
together on the site I was consulting
him on like starting an email list for
that specific site
he was generating like and I think he
was getting like a hundred I'm just
making it up but roughly a hundred email
subscribers per week something
significant enough where it was like
worthwhile but he was like you know what
it's not something I want to focus on
I'd rather just you know get more
traffic which he did it was a good move
so you have to weigh the priorities
Danish says websites you contact for
guest posting have mentioned that if
it's for SEO purpose then you have to
buy the link shall I pay them to place
links in the guest post articles that is
totally up to you that is way more
common basically because of the supply
and demand situation in a way that
people are going for outreach so the
people this is my theory the people that
are asking for payments are probably
getting a lot of pitches because they're
they somehow have other guest post maybe
they have a right for us page they have
some footprint that people are finding
so that they're getting asked all the
time so they know there's a pretty big
demand to do guest posting and it's
super easy for them to make some money I
don't blame them for that so you have to
think about it I write I've tested a
couple of these out I believe if you
have a small portion in which you have
paid it's probably okay if you have a
huge portion where every single link
that you have you've paid for that's
probably not good and then the other
part is if if you want to find other
sites that are potentially not being
asked as often don't use the common
footprints that everyone is looking for
if you spend more time networking and
stuff you may have better luck okay I
gotta answer these faster or
ever get through and by the way really
appreciate everyone hopping on I know
lots of people have joined in the last
few minutes so thanks for joining if you
are not subscribed to the email list
there's a link below please do subscribe
I'm gonna try and figure out how to
segment the list well so that I can send
notifications before I'm doing live
streams when I'm publishing new videos
if you want to have such notifications
I'm working on that part so hopefully
that'll be a thing in the future
additionally hit the like button if you
if you like the video alright all
Wayne's says this is off topic but
you're getting a lot of clicks to Amazon
but you don't think that many people is
on my site daily it's so confusing
what do I think well excuse me I have to
trust your instincts so if you think
that not that many people are clicking
the Amazon then you must have some sort
of you have an issue with your metrics
and one way or another so you should
troubleshoot your analytics maybe your
analytics are not set up properly
something like that or maybe something's
weird on the Amazon side I doubt the
Amazon site is screwed up so it's
probably your analytics additionally it
is possible for more or a user a visitor
to your site can click I don't know as
many times as they want to other links
what happens if each user clicks you
know on two links or something like that
or maybe it's a small set of users that
are clicking like on ten links it throws
off your stats so yeah we try and figure
that out
see cats
thanks for the support you're welcome if
you've published a post of a thousand
words with the kgr but it's on the third
page can I include one more kg our
content on the same post I don't
recommend that you can try it but I'm
not sure what your goal would be for
that so I'm not gonna make any
assumption so if you want to try that
you could try it otherwise I would
potentially add more content to the page
that you're trying to rank on the topic
that you're trying to rank it for not
something else J what's up good to have
you on do I think the ultimate Azon 2.0
theme is good for Amazon niche sites it
is good
the caveat that I'll throw in here J is
some people find it more confusing to
set up than other themes so that's
something for you to think about all
right so I've heard it a few times and I
I like the theme I don't use it
personally and that's a two point of
I've used 1.0 often in the past and per
my understanding 2.0 is even better
however like I said I've heard from more
than one person it's a little difficult
to set up but I think once you get it
set up it has like huge capabilities
it's one of those where it's like the
learning curve is a little steep but
once you figure it out I mean I think if
you spend an hour or two on it I could
be wrong about the amount of time but if
you spend an hour or two and like work
through it you'll be fine so I hope
that's helpful J I know there's a
generous refund policy on there but most
of the time what I recommend is just
just say like if you have a theme that
you already own you know how to use it
just stick with that one as long as it's
clean and you have a couple options for
like a template say like with no
sidebars or you know landing page or
something just so you have a couple
options that should be fine in almost
all themes will provide you with that
okay free tom says is
a good idea to do a guest post even if
the site doesn't have much traffic so it
depends right so pre time is saying that
he's found a lot of blogs that are not
SEO focused or commercial
they're just hobby bloggers so can you
still take a guest post I would say
those are probably the perfect one
because those are the ones that people
are not trying to target that's my hunch
anyway so yeah it's so relevant kind of
to my point before if the relevance is
high that's a really good thing so you
should go for that in test right so if
you test a couple of them and you're
like well this was a bad experience and
I don't think it helped well you can
start trying to figure out dissect why
so that could be helpful for hands-on
what's up and we have Sylvester good to
have you on if you target headphones for
home studio should you build a website
to just target that or build a site
about audio in general the latter you
should focus on the broader topic the
reason why is you don't want to paint
yourself into a corner in the future you
don't have to expand but you want to
have the option so so that's your make
it more general so that you can expand
in the future by the way if I answer
your question that's a fantastic trigger
for you to hit the thumbs up and like
the video so helps people find it if
you're watching the replay you can also
hit the thumbs up leave a comment just
say hey Doug that green pullover is
really awesome something like that or I
hate your green pullover it doesn't
actually matter what your comment is as
long as you leave something all right
okay
mesh if I create two to three do follow
links for a keyword golden ratio term
then it will help me in ranking fast all
right Pratt mesh sorry I think I
pronounced your name different each time
so I see you've asked probably 20
questions in the last couple days around
a similar topic so I'm gonna give you a
personalized plan and I want you to do
this and let me know how it goes
and it will there's a high likelihood
that it will work so I'm gonna ant I'm
gonna tell you exactly what to do
so find 20 keyword golden ratio terms
all right and your niche right a
thousand words for each of the twenty
okay and then start doing blog
commenting publish all this start doing
blog commenting for I would say twenty
days or so and you should aim to do
about five per day and I think you
should be able to rank at least a few of
those in about thirty days
all right now the other thing that I'll
mention is when you publish those twenty
articles do a really good job
interlinking each one of those so I want
you to for each one of the twenty
articles I hope you're writing this down
if not gonna click rewind and watch it
again so you should have two to five
outbound links right to other articles
on your site so they're interlinking on
your site from each one of the posts in
addition you want to have each one of
those posts has a link coming from one
of the other posts on your site so quick
recap 20kg are terms
publish them do blog commenting for
twenty days
make sure everything's interlinked let
me know how it goes
do I think the keyword golden ratio plus
good content plus whoo-ha MERS type of
website can work yes it can work it
could work
I'm not sure I mean I think the blend is
interesting I don't think you need the
WooCommerce portion but it doesn't sound
like there's any harm in doing that okay
Saheed says keywords everywhere is not
showing the data on the suggested search
at the bottom of the results is it
happening with me also I'm not sure I
haven't checked but what I would
recommend is email the team at keywords
everywhere either they've changed it or
they're working on it so the alternative
is to just copy and paste those keywords
and then put into the keywords
everywhere bulk search volume thing and
then you'll get your data and Ravi's on
what's up I'm happy NAB says you chose a
keyword and has 40 searches a month and
all a title zero alone indexed with all
entitled but not ranking on this shirt
for the keyword any tips to rank to the
top 10 yeah basically what I told
prathmesh do that do that and then be
patient okay and then so he'll ask the
same thing about keywords everywhere so
apparently it's not working
so just keep that in mind and you'll
have to look up the search volumes in a
more manual way and thanks everyone that
gave the thumbs up that is helpful we I
see we have Sharon on we have our seven
Eagle Ernie says what do I do with
keywords our competition is ranking for
add them to my list and target them a
lot of times you already have them
yeah yeah you should you know there's
some analysis and thought that you maybe
should put into it Ernie
but yeah I mean there's no reason to not
go for them and earning your your invite
figure into China I believe so if you
have follow-ups but yeah I mean you
should be mindful and apply the
competition apply the competition
analysis worksheet accordingly however
right there's some content with or
there's some yeah there's some content
you should probably just publish even
it's competitive
anyway like that first set of ten that
you're publishing you want to make sure
those are well thought out and stuff
like that like I said per the course it
should guide guide you pretty well
q dog says thanks for giving so much
value in the videos and answering
questions you're welcome
sister media says how do I go with link
building for niche sites blog commenting
and guest posting Dave what's up good to
have you on your ranking for all in
title but not at all for just typing the
words any suggestions Dave yes
do blog commenting be patient is is
unclear how long you've been publishing
or how long the content has been
published but that obviously comes into
play you may want to add more content to
the page may want to check out the
competition and all that stuff why
master says thanks for doing this
other than forums and answer the public
where do I go to look for keyword ideas
I go to semrush is a really good tool
some people like aged refs as well I
think some rush is like a tad cheaper
not a hundred percent sure but if you
scroll down I have an affiliate link for
semrush if you want to check it out you
do have to like enter your credit card
but you get to use it for like seven
days for free tons of data and I
basically I don't often use forums and
answer the public either one however
here's a sort of a ninja tactic I heard
way back I think one of the guys on the
channel named Josh from way back Josh
Sjogren's
he takes a forum in the niche and then
puts it into semrush to see what
keywords are ranking for the forum so
that that's probably like one of the
best tips I can give today other than
the prescribed method for prep mesh next
we have y master okay and then Carl I
recently said in a video that most sites
come out of Google sandbox at a specific
length of time it's six months yep and
I've seen it so many times and heard it
from so many people there's definitely
something to it Marge and says let's say
we decided on a kgr keyword for example
best shaver for bald head under $100 and
it's in our title and once or twice an
article okay how do you decide on
secondary keywords to use in your
content or do you just write the article
without any additional keywords yeah
without in the additional keywords
basically I give the title to a writer
and they write it I don't give them any
other instructions I don't want anyone
who has SEO writer or claims to know
anything about SEO I want a person that
can write well and can communicate well
I find that a lot of times people that
know SEO know a version of SEO that
maybe I don't like so okay getting way
behind here angel is on what's
mesh okay and I think I already answered
your question mesh okay
and then fur hand says the ultimate
eizan's the 2.0 takes a bit of work to
set up but it looks quite good that's
true it actually has like really nice
templates and it's not something you
would use right now you're trying a
standard theme with blog posts and from
my perspective
I was like I have a simple theme that's
clean and I know how to use it and I
avoid bells and whistles
just overall so I just was avoiding it
and you know that's just my position
kook says do I use many paid SEO tools
it seems everywhere you turn there's a
tool that as X Y & Z I tend to use too
many I am using like a tad more
currently so H ref semrush just so I'm
sort of like aware of what they can do I
mean that that is obviously important
for me to understand how those are
working and then you know other stuff
that I am using that isn't like quite as
critical it's not necessarily SEO
related I'm using like calendly to
schedule meetings and stuff like that
then I'm using like zapier to help
automate a few things but it's not
directly SEO related okay I'm going to
hop over momentarily to the questions
that were sent in there was sort of some
longer form ones by the way if you have
the ability to click the like button the
thumbs up which should be like below the
video or something like that I would
appreciate it if I answered your
question or anything like that it's a
good prompt or if you learn something so
here's a question for your continue
these are a little bit longer form so
for your continuous improvement method
you were thinking of asking the content
manager once a month to go back and
improve one article now the question is
which ones do I ever start with the
oldest one like the oldest post and work
forward or use a tool to see which post
is getting the most traffic and ranking
highest in short the latter right you
should probably target the post that are
ranking well already and then getting
traffic
ready the thought is those are post that
Google already likes they're already
ranking those posts and if you let's say
let's say you have a number one ranking
keyword if you add more content to that
you're probably gonna rank for more
longtail keywords and you're probably
going to get more traffic even if you're
already ranking number one if you go and
target you know other posts that are
ranking say number two to number ten
well if you add more content there you
have the ability to move up in rankings
and get more long-tailed traffic so
going to the oldest one you may be sort
of wasting your time on a post that
doesn't get much traffic maybe doesn't
convert well maybe Google doesn't like
it for some reason but just focus on
where you're already doing well next
Danish says is it risky to buy a guest
post link since there are many services
available - apart from outreach that are
offering guest post links I would so if
you're thinking about buying guest posts
services I would say you could probably
you know avoid it I've heard some of
them are pretty okay but I've heard that
I haven't used at me all right but I've
heard that sometimes you'll end up maybe
with like 25 or 30 40 percent that
aren't really great blogs they look more
like a media site where they just
publish these kind of posts all the time
so I have also heard some of the links
are pretty good but I don't think all of
them are you going to be great and as
far as like is it risky or not yeah
there's probably some risk involved but
here's the deal right so if let's say
you buy links right let's say you go to
the hoth can you buy some links and then
your site gets penalized we have the
list of links that you bought from the
hoth so you can just go disavow those
links that you bought maybe you're out a
few hundred a few thousand bucks right
but
there's a route to solve the problem
the point is you can make a decision you
could test it and then it's not an
irreversible decision you could pretty
actually in minutes you can reverse that
action and then no harm done now if
you're not keeping track well well that
makes it harder and that could be tough
all right
and forehand is saying you like the look
of some rush but it's expensive for
beginner totally and I you know I didn't
use it for years I would just get like a
trial version use it for a little while
and then stop and age refs is really
good I mean if you're I think age rafts
maybe a little well they're getting much
better and they're backlink like
information is way better so that's
something to keep in mind and J says the
reason you asked was to see if you don't
need AWP if you use the ultimate a zone
theme no I don't think you do like
ultimate Azon has like the API built in
so I don't think you need AWP if you're
using ultimate Azon so at least that's
to my knowledge like you would need it
alright see cat says what's the best
free theme according to me any of the
WordPress themes just the default theme
and I you know what I haven't tested any
of them but if you if you're gonna pin
me and ask me for the best one according
to me and you want it to be free then
check those out and how to cloak the
affiliate link of the Amazon product for
text and image okay is there a free
plugin so you should probably look at
plugins
I don't know right but you should
probably look for plugins that allow you
to cloak links I think that maybe you
could do that with like pretty links and
I think that's free however I'm gonna
tell you right now that that would be
violating like the Terms of Service so
you should probably avoid that by
you're asking a question so I'm
answering your question but I think it's
a bad idea
Sahil says should I go with a micro
niche site or a blog with a random kgr
can you define what you mean by random
kgr and what you mean by micro niche
site I'm gonna guess probably neither
I'm gonna say don't go with either one
even though I'm not sure what they are
but if you want to clarify let me know
okay Alexandre happy Friday
what's up that's happening to your
keywords everywhere plugin how do you
suggest we keep track of keywords after
publishing I would use sir black code at
UK and then you could just track them
you're gonna email sent to you if you
want you could log in and check it
whenever you want
Kuldeep what's up good to have you on
Rene says how do you figure out which
categories a new site should have and
you add your main keywords in your
categories well I don't really use
categories too much so I don't use tags
at all and then I use super broad
categories the problem is when it
doesn't matter actually it just doesn't
matter so I would just keep it broad and
don't worry about it too much I would
maybe have like four categories max
there's some advantages if you're doing
like some sort of pop-ups or something
like that for email list building but if
you're not doing that then it doesn't
really matter and all right good
