01 — "Overview"
Review sites, comparison content and short-form videos can earn on autopilot.
02 — "The Crash Course"
- Step 01
Pick a niche with high commissions
Software (20–40% recurring), finance products, outdoor gear, home tech. Amazon's 1–4% is a start, not the plan.
- Step 02
Join the right programs
Impact, PartnerStack, ShareASale, CJ and direct brand programs. Check cookie length and payout rules.
- Step 03
Create buyer-intent content
'Best X for Y', 'X vs Y', honest reviews and tutorials. People searching those are ready to buy.
- Step 04
Pick a traffic channel
SEO blog (slow, compounding), YouTube reviews (high trust) or short-form video (fast). Master one first.
- Step 05
Build an email list from day one
Offer a free checklist or guide. Email converts 5–10x better than social.
- Step 06
Track every link
Use UTM tags or a link tool to see which content actually earns.
- Step 07
Disclose and stay honest
FTC requires affiliate disclosure. Honest reviews convert better anyway.
"The math"
40 software referrals × $50/mo recurring = $2,000/mo, growing every month you keep them.
"Toolkit"
03 — "How people lose"
Promoting products you haven't tried just for commissions. Audiences notice and stop trusting you.
