Great update, ZionIce! It's amazing to see how stable the earnings are even after two months of leaving the sites on autopilot.

I have a quick question regarding your workflow and content creation process. When you publish a batch of, say, 80 articles, how exactly do you manage it?

1. Do you research 80 specific long-tail keywords in the niche beforehand, and then write the articles one by one? Or do you follow a bulk/programmatic approach?
2. What is your process for adding them to the site and picking images?
3. Where do you usually source your images from? Do you use AI-generated images, or do you rely on stock photos/product images?

Thanks for sharing your journey, and I wish you the best of luck with scaling up in July! Looking forward to your next update.

1. I research 80 keywords and then I generate and schedule content to be published 2 a week.
2. It's done manually.
3. Images are sourced from Amazon Associates API.

I have a quick question about your keyword research strategy when targetting long-tail keywords for Bing:

When you are looking for keywords, do you strictly search for terms that already include "Best [Product] for [XYZ]"?

Or do you look for raw search terms where users just type the product and the intent (like "box tv for world cup"), and then you optimize the article and title to be "Best box tv for world cup"?

In other words, do you target the exact "Best" modifier phrase during your research, or do you turn raw intent-based keywords into buyer guides?

"best" keywords only.

I have a quick and simple question about keyword validation for a new affiliate site.

Let's assume I found a long-tail keyword following this format: "Best [Product] for [XYZ]" (e.g., Best quiet blender for morning smoothies).

Before I start writing and automating the content, how do I know if this is a winning keyword? What are your exact benchmarks?

• KD (Keyword Difficulty): From what to what? (What is your maximum limit for a new site?)
• Search Volume: From how much to how much? (Do you actually target ultra-low volume like 10–50 searches?)
• SERP Analysis: Do you manually check the search results? If yes, what are your green flags and red flags?

Would love to hear your simple checklist for this! Thanks.

Hi again

I have a question about keyword research for the “Best X for XYZ” strategy.

I’m struggling to find a micro-niche that has many keywords in this format. Most micro-niches seem to have only a limited number of “Best X for XYZ” opportunities.

Am I missing something? Do you usually work within a larger niche and then look for “Best X for XYZ” keywords inside it?

Or should I stay focused on a single micro-niche only? I’m finding that approach really difficult.

I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I don't give much attention to KD etc. I pick them randomly mostly and do a lot. Then I see which one does better.

Don't overthink it.

just saw thar you schedule max 2 posts per weeks. Any specific reason behind that, does it help? I do 4 per day myself

Hey man, some questions.

Do you use amazon one link? If so, do i need to register to multiple amazon afdiliate countries in order to make money? Because all i see is usa when i also have other type of traffic too but only earning from usa.

Have you included/automated the creator connectuons part in any way or is it manual work?

Hi,
This has been a great read have gone through the whole thread, very inspiring and thanks for answering all the questions.

I had one question, when starting out, is it better to apply to amazon affiliate program after the website or your traffic source is built and has some content, or you can just apply without any source and keep building on the side.

Do you get accepted as a newbie?

Just build the website fully, including content, about / toss / aff disclosure etc pages and apply. Just ensure all the required pages are there, then apply, no need to wait for traffic

Yes, I use Amazon One Lin. You open an account in all countries and connect them together. Haven't done any work for Creator Connections.

Yes, you get accepted without traffic and then they give you a specific time to make the first 3 sales for approval.
