Suppose I want to create an affiliate website and my niche is bodybuilding.
I search on Google "best way to do pull-ups" to check my competitors and I see these big authority websites like bodybuilding.com or stronglifts.com etc. They have well-written articles. However, my concern is all the video guides they do and the original pics they feature. They don't use stock images.
Instead, they use real male models and take their pics inside real gyms. All of this makes their site look more legit to their target audience, right? I can rewrite articles and maybe even improve their quality but I simply don't have the resources to do unique video guides or feature original photos.
Of course, I can embed their videos because it will be useful to my visitors but that poses another problem. My target audience will realize my website is not good enough.
In another scenario, suppose I search 'Top 10 headphones under $300'. Again, big sites like 'The Wirecutter' pop up. They have the resources to actually buy all the headphones they are reviewing. So, this also lets them conduct awesome video reviews. Something I can't do :/
This is just an example. I know these are very competitive niches but even in less competitive niches, I find my competitors doing video reviews or using pictures they took themselves.
What are your views on this matter? Have you ever faced a similar situation when doing a review on your website?
