Should I make the niches in terms of "all essentials or equipment you need for a certain niche" or "1 type of product but many different kinds"? For example: 1. All essential items for paddling (Including clothes, gear, etc) 2. Kayaking gear (the best, the cheapest, for kids, etc) Which of these should affiliate marketers choose?
Right on! I'm glad the timing has worked out and hopefully now you can get into affiliate marketing :) Let me know if you have any questions along the way!
I really just want you to know how much I appreciate seeing someone who is genuine in this world. Thank you for the clear, concise information. And thank you for not leaving out half the information and selling dreams.
This is exactly what I've been struggling with in the past two months. Writing articles is difficult but you're so super inspiring, I'll do my best to complete the next 20 articles using your method! Thank you for keeping us going, now I definitely feel I can do it!
Right on! That's exciting, and from the sounds of it I think you'll be able to do it. I'm here if you have any questions along the way, and I wish you the best of luck in finishing the last 20 articles!!
Felicia, I can offer some advice for you. How about stop writing them, and start talking into a voice recorder about the topic. Then take the voice recording and push it into a translation app and then copy and paste it and make it pretty. You might find it easier to talk about it
Been following you for awhile, am from Papua New Guinea🇵🇬, started my store and your tutorials have done me wonders. Havent made any sales yet but am confident that your coaching will reap me benefits soon. God bless you man, keep doing what your doing😊😊😊
Question: Do you think getting into the telescope and astronomy niche is a good idea? I've been into astronomy since I was a child and thinking of making a website where I recommend telescopes and other astronomy related things
U are One of the best. This really helped me cause I was confused about how to find the right niches. Really appreciate ur honesty brother. May God bless you 🙏
@@GregGottfried What do you think about using googles free tools for research? I know they can be a bit limited but the data is coming directly from google
Hey Greg, thx for the tips. I'm a bit confused tho. Since obviously Amazon doesn't sell wine the only thing you would talk about in your 30 articles would be wine sets? Cause I thought about doing the same with whiskey, which I love, but it seems a bit harsh to write so much about something restricted as wine/whiskey sets
You can be an affiliate for more than just Amazon. Amazon would be great for accessories, but you could also join affiliate programs for wine sellers or wine subscriptions. Then you can write about accessories and wine. I hope that helps clarify!
Greg that was a really useful information. I must say that you've filled the whole sea in a small bottle in your just 12m long video. thanks a lot buddy. I really appreaciate your speaking and teaching style as well. it Great ! keep bringing the good and useful content like this !

New to affiliate marketing and have been working hard trying to find a profitable niche before I dive into my website! thanks for the info. Any other advice you can give? another video?
I finally started your POD strategy! I’m loving it!! I’d LOVE a more in-depth video on how to convert views into purchases. I got my first sale after a week but I feel like I’m missing something 🤔🧐
Congrats on your first sales! Question, how did you find your niche? I don't want something temporary like Christmas, graduation,etc.. as a first POD. Categories that people can buy anytime
@@goonerzel8531 So I tried the free trial of Merch Informer like Greg suggested and I did as much research as possible. Literally ANYTHING that popped into my head I searched. You’d be surprised what random things are great niches! I tried to do a seasonal trend niche, but it only KINDA worked for me. But eh, not enough to keep me going. DEFINITELY use merch informer!!
Cheers Greg! Once again, quality and succinct advice. You may have already covered this question and I'm making my way through all of your videos, but how do you write articles on your affiliate marketing website if you have no prior knowledge or expertise in the niche topic? Keep up the amazing work
Right on! Thanks for the comment! Ideally you want to find a niche that is profitable and also something that you know about (or are passionate about). With that said, for the info you don't know, I recommend watching some youtube videos or reading some other articles to get the info you're missing. I hope that helps!
Hey Greg, thanks for the dope content! Question: After writing articles with the van conversion niche that you used as the example, how do you monetize? What program/product do you sell the readers?
I had the same kind of question. If you make a site and article answering some of the questions, you could maybe reccomend products to have inside the van that are handy but don't take up too much space in the van. Reccomend products. This is what I'm thinking.
Right on! That's amazing... It sounds like your pace on creating articles is really good, I'm excited for you (literally I can feel it in my chest just reading your comment haha...). All the best to you, and let me know if you have any questions as you're going along!
@@jackingramonline5333 Amazing Jack! I follow your youtube videos and it is great to see you doing so well. I haven't started a niche website as of yet, who taught you how to do it to ensure everything is set up correctly?
@@seangallagher1726 Hey Sean, Thanks so much :) and I followed Greg's Wordpress video but it took some time to learn how to use Wordpress on my own.. and cant wait to see you get started!!
@@jackingramonline5333 Brilliant! It is a real long game play with the niche website. Hopefully you will be rewarded! If you have insta it would be great to speak to you. Dm me on @seangallagherphotography
You explain things so well but i have another question. Im almost finished with my 1st site and i chose a sub niche that had a difficulty score of 52% but when i searched online after writing 25 articles for my niche there was already a lot of websites and RUclips video's reviewing the same niche. My heart sunk. How can we compete in any niche when im sure there are multiple websites and videos within every niche?
Can You please do a video explaining the listings on Teespring. My issue is that, my products is in my listing but not in my storefront. I don’t see the purpose in separating the two.
Greg thank you so much for answering our questions, here's another one (when you have time): what are some other affiliate programs that can help us write our articles other than amazon? I've found a pretty good niche but amazon only have 2 or 3 items of that specific niche so I don't know where to find others to review on my website. Amazing video as always!
Great question! I see the best results with about 5 items per listing. I choose the most relevant items to that design but they typically consist of a t-shirt, long sleeve, hoodie, tank, and mug/sticker. I hope that helps!
Hey Greg, thank you so much for this video. Can you kindly give answer this question for me; If the Keyword Difficulty is high and the Volume is also high but when I go to the Topic Research area as you did and I find sub-topics with low difficulty like 56% with High Efficiency, Can I still start my blog with those low difficulty sub topics (although the topic still have the main key words that were with high difficulty within it).. I would really appreciate if you can help answer this question. Thank you
Excellent question. Yes, you can absolutely do that. Picking easy (or easier) to rank for sub-topics for your initial blog posts is a good way to start getting a flow of traffic early on. The more competitive the overall topic, the more posts you will need on your site to get to the big traffic numbers, so keep that in mind too. Lastly, you can always just cherry pick the easy to rank sub-topics and write only those on your site, if there are enough to fill a site with. Hope that helps!
Hi, I am a beginner at affiliate marketing. I plan to choose relationship niche. But I don't have any idea that what product should I promote. Please help me to pick what type of products do I pick.
Always pure quality and information Greg. I started to watch your videos about 4months ago, and I've learned so much. Thus far, I've created tons of t-shirt designs, and I'm on the edge of finishing up my first niche-specific website. All of this also kickstarted me to learn more about marketing, sales, copywriting, and business in general. Many many thanks for showing me a path I didn't know existed!
This is so awesome to hear! I’m so glad you were able to create something you didn’t even know that you could! Thank you so much for your comment & I wish you nothing but success in everything that you do!
Hello Greg, thanks so much for all the information. Please my question is that is it possible to have start a Blog that has covers a broad Major Niche/ topic such as Interior design or Healthy Food for example, and then find Very good topics based on your research method you taught with Semrush and write on those topics within the same blog, since all these topics fall under the major Niche/topic in Healthy Food or Interior design...I would really appreciate your advice on this. Many thanks
This is so helpful Greg! Thanks to this and your other affiliate marketing videos, I have completed making my first niche site and have written 30 posts! I'm not sure if you have already addressed this, but I am really struggling with getting approval with Google Adsense on my affiliate marketing site. Do you have any guidance on this process? I've followed your other videos exactly (30 posts, unique articles, over 1,000 words per article, no plagiarism, etc.) so I'm not sure why they keep telling me there are issues preventing me from getting ads on my pages.
Hey thanks for asking! Great question! I haven't run into any issues getting accepted for adsense on my sites, so I donut have much to share on tips to get accepted. However, I do have some good advice about adsense in general. I dont recommend adding adsense to your site right away. I would wait until you have a substantial amount of traffic on your site before you add it. Adsense will slow your site down, causing your initial articles to not get their best possible ranking position. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Thanks so much! That is not something I was aware of doing prior to finishing up my site! As a very general guideline, what would you consider "substantial traffic"? Just curious so I can know when to re-apply for Adsense. Again, thanks so much for all your videos, I also just hit 1,000 designs on my POD websites today! The process works for sure!
Hi Greg, for product niche sites would you suggest buying the products first and using them ourselves before promoting? what's your thought on this? Also please make a video on how to do research and write original content for websites. Thanks!
Greg, do you think that building affiliate marketing niche websites and use Amazon Affiliate to monetize them is still a good idea? Do you believe that the Amazon Affiliate program might close in the near future? Thanks!
Hey I have a question we only need one Teespring, red bubble and one merch by Amazon account to put different niche design or we have to create new account for those all 3 for every single niche?
Hi Greg, this is a bit off-topic from this particular video. But do you know how I can integrate my TeeSpring Merch into my personal blog? I have several blogs and I would like to showcase my shirts on my niche sites. Any ideas? I appreciate any help I can get.
Absolutely! Great niche too.. Off the top of my mind I can think of advertisements (you can start with Google Adsense and then work up into Mediavine etc.), amazon affiliate products for the van builds (think along the lines of MaxxAir fans, they are $200+ each so it's a nice commission), and information products (like a digital download ebook on a topic van lifers would be willing to pay $5-10 for). Lots of good options for you. I hope that helps!
Hey I am from India glad for your support thx. I am facing problem in teespring when I make my product design and publish they says complete your payout info but I already done ( as much I know) can you help me. Kindly request😇😇
Great video as always greg. After doing 800 pod designs following your lead I've jumped into my first affiliate site. So far I've written 11 of the 30 articles. Using KW finder and ask the people. Havent had much luck with POD. Little bit here and there but really hoping I can get my affiliate site to turn a bit of profit.
You're welcome, I hope it helps! There's plenty of room for all the action takers to succeed so why not ;) Also, thank you for taking the time to comment!
What website build tool would you request to use? I look on building my own website could you please help me out. I took all your information on Printing on demand Tee 👕 hope that this side business work out for me . But want to do affiliate marketing with my business is long term goal.
I've used a lot of builders but I personally now just use WIX and WordPress for my affiliate sites. WIX is easier to use but more expensive, WordPress is cheaper but a bit tricky to use. Here's a video to help compare the 2: ruclips.net/video/M8admCOvzUM/видео.html
Hey Greg thx so much for all the help. I have a question for you if I may. I'm passionate about books and I wouldn't mind open a blog in which I review all the books I go through every single week. The problem is that I've been told from different affiliate marketers to stay away from low ticket products like books. Creating this project wouldn't be as harsh as doing it for niche that I don't care about but it'd still be work so I'd obviously need to be able to make some money eventually out of it. I'd really appreciate to know you opinion on this. Have a great day :)
Hey Gus, excellent question. I agree with what the others are saying, but it's a very general statement that needs to be looked at on a site-by-site basis. In your case, I would recommend going forward with your niche, and doing so on a WordPress website. I recommend doing so because if books are your passion, you will have no issue writing compelling content that brings in traffic (that's the hardest part) and I value this over finding a "profitable" niche that you have no real passion for. Further, by doing so on a WordPress website, you will have a very easy time adding Display Ads to your website (which really helps increase revenue for low ticket niches). All in all, I would 100% recommend going forward with your site idea. As far as WordPress, you'll have to pick a hosting service and a website template. For hosting, I recommend Bluehost for VERY beginners, and Rocket.net as my personal favorite host long term. For themes, I recommend Acabado. Between those tools, you should have a top notch site! Hope that helps!
Great video. Came at just the right time. I do have a few questions though and would love your insight on them. 1) Which type of affiliate products would you link to? I mean the products have to be related to the articles but I'm thinking what type of products will I find on Amazon, related to converted vans or micro-greens? 2) Do you still prefer Amazon Affiliate program? With so many other affiliate programs, and since the commission rate cut, I'm kinda leaning towards other ones... 3) and finally, after the 30 articles, do you just leave it and wait for the traffic or can we do things like indexing (I'm currently not sure what that is but I read it somewhere) to get the traffic faster? Sorry I think I asked way too many question lol.
Hey Greg, I have a question related to teespring marketing place.. I got trust score and my designs are in marketplace now but still there aren't many views and there is no sale after I got my trust score!! Till now, every sale I got was from direct marketing and one more through boosted network.. it's been 10 days and I've realised that views are getting lower and lower from what I did through direct marketing...what do I do?? Work on niches or do paid marketing or what?
No worries! Thanks for asking! It usually takes about a month for the trust score tot kick in (sorry for not mentioning that more often in these videos!). Especially lately, they have been at least 1 month until the trust score kicks in. I'd just keep going and give it a bitt more time :) I hope that helps, and thank you for the comment Aruna!
I've had this problem too, it seems teespring has different milestones to boost your trust score. For example, 10 sales get you to another tier, and the more sales you make, the more your trust score will go up... then the more they will advertise for you. For me, I'm just uploading as many designs as I can each day to get my chances of being seen higher on the marketplace. After 2 months I reached 10 sales, 2 coming from the boosted network. Hope this helps in some way.
Great question! II'd start with POD first and then affiliate after :) If you are more inclined to do affiliate marketing first, that would work too. The big thing is just to do 1 at a time I think. I hope that helps!
hey Greg is that 1000-1500 words per EDUCATION entry or should all the articles, meaning all the ones in other categories also be 1000-1500 words per entry?
Hey Greg, a quick question. what if finished writing our articles for our niche affiliate marketing website in the first 3 months or should we write it slowly, what are your views?
I've got a couple for you here: Watch this one first: ruclips.net/video/M8admCOvzUM/видео.html and then here is WIX ruclips.net/video/2FtzvcxFVRw/видео.html and here is WordPress ruclips.net/video/d7SJepbLYNE/видео.html This is also an option for WIX (to buy a pre-made template) ruclips.net/video/XacfAHV5G9s/видео.html I hope that helps!
Hi Greg I’m a huge fan! What do you think about posting wine related products on a wine blog site or horse related products on a horse blog site? Do the products have to be exact to the blogs or just related?
Excellent question Anastasia! Yes, you can absolutely write about related products within the niche. For example, on a wine site you could write about wine subscription clubs, specific wine openers, any wine accessory you could think of, and even link up a wine related POD store (more on that here if you want to check it out) ruclips.net/video/1KI6VyrVHlk/видео.html I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Would all 30 articles be for the same exact product / affiliate link? Or should I find 30 different products to promote within that niche? ORRR, do I spread it out over say 10-15 products, with for instance each product being promoted on 2-3 different posts? Also, what are your thoughts on outsourcing the articles? This is the first video I've seen of yours that mentions SEMRush. That tool looks amazing. I will definitely be getting it through your link.
Hi Greg, this video is good, one more thing have to clarify from you, that in Instagram we can only put one website ryt... In the other videos you says so many different storefront have to use for particular design then... if customer wants our previous uploaded Tees means how can they buy from insta website.. If I updated into next present t-shirt storefront website...
do the 30 articles have to be completed and in the website before you launch it? Or do we launch the website and then add the blog posts one at a time?
Great question Liz! The posts can be published as you write them after the site is published. I usually start publishing my first articles within a few days of launching the site. I hope that helps!
Hi Greg! Great content! Are these articles to be used for the education sections? I know you mentioned to split up the articles into reviews, top lists and education but will this strategy still include this method. Also do we still use amazon associates? Thanks so much!
Yes exactly right! The reviews and top lists can be written for all/any/the popular products in the niche. Also, yes I still use and recommend Amazon Associates :) I hope that helps!
Good video. Question: One thing that is still not clear to me is: When one has an Affiliate Marketing website, is it supposed to be devoted to one niche only? For example, can you have a website that deals with 3 unrelated niches or would this be awkward?
Excellent question! Yes you definitely want to separate unrelated niches into separate sites entirely. This is so Google knows what your site is all about (and ranks you better) and so that visitors stay interested while visiting your site. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Thank you, very much! 1) But even if one has several Affiliate Marketing websites, can one keep them under one WordPress account? 2) And one still needs a a web hosting company like Bluehost, right? 3) Bluehost can allow one to have several websites, true or not?
Hi Greg, I'm publishing a book in my niche about 30,000 words. Is it ok for my to use the chapters and articles from the book on my website? This way I can have at least 30 or so blog posts right away.
Is low volume bad? Niche I'm interested in has 12k and 76% difficulty. When it comes to keyword difficulty 60-75 is ideal but what about search volume?
Hi Greg, really great video. Quick question: I have subscribed to the 7 day free trial with SEMrush but my screen doesnt look like your in the tutorial... What menu do I select to get the correct search box for the steps you show in the video?
It's one of your best videos man, I really liked it. But I have a question, where could you find companies to be affiliated for these niches since we used to go after amazon, click bank...etc. Thanks again
Hi Greg, I enjoyed the video. When you say my site should have 30 articles, should they all be around the same topic? So for instance, with your converted van idea, should it all be about converted vans and that lifestyle? Or can I create more of a "lifestyle" type site that writes about a bunch of different things?
Hey Greg, you've been a real blessing. From the first day I watched your video on how you earn from multiple streams I've stayed glued, I've actually started a channel to add another stream, would appreciate the encouragement. Let's see how it goes.
This video comes at the right time. Just about to start affiliate marketing although I already have a niche I want to concentrate on 🌿 I'm about to publish a new video about it soon. Thanks for this video, it's great! ✨
Perfect timing! What an exciting time of the journey, I hope your site does extremely well and hopefully the research tool can help confirm your niche!
Hi Greg! Thanks for the valuable content. I've been binging your videos. I have a question for you...can I use a pre-existing Shopify store instead of Wix for affiliate marketing?
Thanks, Greg :) In December 2017 I started a niche site similar to one of the top 3 you mentioned in this video. I was clueless on researching topics (back then) so I started out by answering the questions people asked me as I lived and traveled in my self-converted van. I moved in with my Dad as his Caregiver shortly after starting the site and I only wrote 14-15 posts. I don't earn much from it but, lately, every month is more than the last. I'm currently in the "figuring out life without Dad" phase but I plan to get back to building my business soon. But... I have to pick ONE THING! I started several things at once and, in hindsight, that was not a good idea.
Wow Connie- first off- you’re amazing! Second, that’s awesome that you started and are making more each month. It’s definitely a lot when you start out and try to do it all at once- but it looks like you figured out that one step at a time works a bit better. I believe in you & feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way- you got this!! Thank you so much for your comment😊
@milamixedbreedterrier73 Earlier this year, I let the website go. I had way too many things in the works and never worked on the website. It became a source of clutter for me. The small earnings didn't justify keeping it active just so it could hang out in limbo land. Sometimes it's good to declutter and make way for better things 😊
@@SimplyConnie247 Tell my you have small earnings, and how many blogs you have and affiliate link, because with affiliate website you have to be persistent for one year, and many blogs to have, and then the earnings start only as far as I understand... Now I don't know if I should start at all, or if I should first take a course for that 🤨
Hello Greg! I have a question about POD Instagram page. In your opinion should we make it as a shop Instagram page? Should we put prices in the description?
Thanks for the amazing and inspiring content! Which affiliate program(s) could you recommend instead of amazon associates - espacially for the first blog?
Greg are you reading my mind? I was just brainstorming abt what niche I should go for my next website! I've finished my 1st 30 articles yesterday (took me abt a month, I'm in college and I don't have a lot of time) and still only 20 ppl saw my website but I'm positive! I'll be updating how my website goes. PS: thanks Greg for the awesome video, keep making more abt affiliate marketing, since you have so many abt pod, which is also great but way less complicated
You’re awesome Francisco- perhaps I should add mind reading to my resume? Lol But I’m so happy to hear that you’re persevering! I can definitely understand about the limited time with school- keep in mind to just take one step at a time- you got this!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way! I wish you nothing but success😊
Hello Greg. Do you happen to have any examples of websites that I can see with an good example of 30 blogs and the 3 different types of articles on it if you don't mind. By seeing an example I get a better idea of putting my own website together without plagiarizing anything of course. Hope all is well! Excellent channel Greg!

Any other advice you can give? another video?
This video is so full of value, thanks a lot for making it!
Glad I made it for people like you 😊 feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!
I finally started your POD strategy! I’m loving it!! I’d LOVE a more in-depth video on how to convert views into purchases. I got my first sale after a week but I feel like I’m missing something 🤔🧐
Congrats on your first sales! Question, how did you find your niche? I don't want something temporary like Christmas, graduation,etc.. as a first POD. Categories that people can buy anytime
@@goonerzel8531 focus on evergreen designs. Mom and baby. Career tshirts. Hobby tshirts.
@@goonerzel8531 So I tried the free trial of Merch Informer like Greg suggested and I did as much research as possible. Literally ANYTHING that popped into my head I searched. You’d be surprised what random things are great niches! I tried to do a seasonal trend niche, but it only KINDA worked for me. But eh, not enough to keep me going. DEFINITELY use merch informer!!
Cheers Greg! Once again, quality and succinct advice. You may have already covered this question and I'm making my way through all of your videos, but how do you write articles on your affiliate marketing website if you have no prior knowledge or expertise in the niche topic? Keep up the amazing work
Right on! Thanks for the comment! Ideally you want to find a niche that is profitable and also something that you know about (or are passionate about). With that said, for the info you don't know, I recommend watching some youtube videos or reading some other articles to get the info you're missing. I hope that helps!
Love your Videos.
Thank you!
This man is legit every video teaches you something new and beneficial I love you man!!!!
Haha thank you so much!! That means a lot!!
Great video. Super helpful.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching 👍🏼
This really helps. Thanks lots.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment and let me know if you have any questions at all!
Hey Greg, thanks for the dope content! Question: After writing articles with the van conversion niche that you used as the example, how do you monetize? What program/product do you sell the readers?
I had the same kind of question. If you make a site and article answering some of the questions, you could maybe reccomend products to have inside the van that are handy but don't take up too much space in the van. Reccomend products. This is what I'm thinking.
Perfect timing!!! I'm about to be done with my 2nd site and have been looking for another niche for my 3rd! Thanks so much Greg.
Right on! That's amazing... It sounds like your pace on creating articles is really good, I'm excited for you (literally I can feel it in my chest just reading your comment haha...). All the best to you, and let me know if you have any questions as you're going along!
@@GregGottfried Your comment made my day Greg, I am beyond excited for what the future holds.. plenty of more thanks will be coming your way.
@@jackingramonline5333 Amazing Jack! I follow your youtube videos and it is great to see you doing so well. I haven't started a niche website as of yet, who taught you how to do it to ensure everything is set up correctly?
@@seangallagher1726 Hey Sean, Thanks so much :) and I followed Greg's Wordpress video but it took some time to learn how to use Wordpress on my own.. and cant wait to see you get started!!
@@jackingramonline5333 Brilliant! It is a real long game play with the niche website. Hopefully you will be rewarded! If you have insta it would be great to speak to you. Dm me on @seangallagherphotography
You explain things so well but i have another question. Im almost finished with my 1st site and i chose a sub niche that had a difficulty score of 52% but when i searched online after writing 25 articles for my niche there was already a lot of websites and RUclips video's reviewing the same niche. My heart sunk. How can we compete in any niche when im sure there are multiple websites and videos within every niche?
Much love Greg I need to make the time to use this information!
The videos will always be here 🙂 Take everything at your own pace & enjoy the journey! 👍🏼 Thank you for watching!
Can You please do a video explaining the listings on Teespring. My issue is that, my products is in my listing but not in my storefront. I don’t see the purpose in separating the two.
Huge request! Can you make a video about the best affiliate marketing programs in this year please?
Thank you Greg! keep making awesome videos😊
Agree he should make a video on this particular topic
Greg thank you so much for answering our questions, here's another one (when you have time): what are some other affiliate programs that can help us write our articles other than amazon? I've found a pretty good niche but amazon only have 2 or 3 items of that specific niche so I don't know where to find others to review on my website. Amazing video as always!
Hey greg, please make 2021's version of creating a new WordPress website as u did for pod...we are waiting for that...❤️
Hey Greg, is it a good idea to enable all the products in a teespring listing? Teespring offers so many new products now.
Great question! I see the best results with about 5 items per listing. I choose the most relevant items to that design but they typically consist of a t-shirt, long sleeve, hoodie, tank, and mug/sticker. I hope that helps!
I thought if we had more products then then the customer would find us easily. 🤦♂️ Thank you for replying. What about redbubble?
I found the video very helpful! Thanks so much Greg.
Hi Timothy! I'm glad it was helpful! You're very welcome!
Boss i like your videos helpful tutorial 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you so much 😀
Hey Greg, thank you so much for this video.
Can you kindly give answer this question for me; If the Keyword Difficulty is high and the Volume is also high but when I go to the Topic Research area as you did and I find sub-topics with low difficulty like 56% with High Efficiency, Can I still start my blog with those low difficulty sub topics (although the topic still have the main key words that were with high difficulty within it)..
I would really appreciate if you can help answer this question. Thank you
Excellent question. Yes, you can absolutely do that. Picking easy (or easier) to rank for sub-topics for your initial blog posts is a good way to start getting a flow of traffic early on. The more competitive the overall topic, the more posts you will need on your site to get to the big traffic numbers, so keep that in mind too. Lastly, you can always just cherry pick the easy to rank sub-topics and write only those on your site, if there are enough to fill a site with. Hope that helps!
Hi, I am a beginner at affiliate marketing. I plan to choose relationship niche. But I don't have any idea that what product should I promote. Please help me to pick what type of products do I pick.
Always pure quality and information Greg. I started to watch your videos about 4months ago, and I've learned so much. Thus far, I've created tons of t-shirt designs, and I'm on the edge of finishing up my first niche-specific website. All of this also kickstarted me to learn more about marketing, sales, copywriting, and business in general. Many many thanks for showing me a path I didn't know existed!
This is so awesome to hear! I’m so glad you were able to create something you didn’t even know that you could! Thank you so much for your comment & I wish you nothing but success in everything that you do!
Hello Greg, thanks so much for all the information. Please my question is that is it possible to have start a Blog that has covers a broad Major Niche/ topic such as Interior design or Healthy Food for example, and then find Very good topics based on your research method you taught with Semrush and write on those topics within the same blog, since all these topics fall under the major Niche/topic in Healthy Food or Interior design...I would really appreciate your advice on this. Many thanks
Very useful info greg as always. But can you make a video on how to make niche specific site plzz.
Great information. Thanks 👍
Thanks Kristian!
@@GregGottfried anytime!
Really great staff.....thank you
Thank you!
This is so helpful Greg! Thanks to this and your other affiliate marketing videos, I have completed making my first niche site and have written 30 posts! I'm not sure if you have already addressed this, but I am really struggling with getting approval with Google Adsense on my affiliate marketing site. Do you have any guidance on this process? I've followed your other videos exactly (30 posts, unique articles, over 1,000 words per article, no plagiarism, etc.) so I'm not sure why they keep telling me there are issues preventing me from getting ads on my pages.
Hey thanks for asking! Great question! I haven't run into any issues getting accepted for adsense on my sites, so I donut have much to share on tips to get accepted. However, I do have some good advice about adsense in general. I dont recommend adding adsense to your site right away. I would wait until you have a substantial amount of traffic on your site before you add it. Adsense will slow your site down, causing your initial articles to not get their best possible ranking position. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Thanks so much! That is not something I was aware of doing prior to finishing up my site! As a very general guideline, what would you consider "substantial traffic"? Just curious so I can know when to re-apply for Adsense. Again, thanks so much for all your videos, I also just hit 1,000 designs on my POD websites today! The process works for sure!
Hi Greg, for product niche sites would you suggest buying the products first and using them ourselves before promoting? what's your thought on this?
Also please make a video on how to do research and write original content for websites.
Thanks!
Greg, do you think that building affiliate marketing niche websites and use Amazon Affiliate to monetize them is still a good idea? Do you believe that the Amazon Affiliate program might close in the near future? Thanks!
Hey I have a question we only need one Teespring, red bubble and one merch by Amazon account to put different niche design or we have to create new account for those all 3 for every single niche?
You're right :) Just 1 account on each site. I hope that helps!
Gregg if I created my site in my country, does it affect organic traffic from other countries such as US ?
Nope not at all :) As long as the domain is .com .net or similar (and not .uk county specific) you will be ranking in the US normally.
Hi Greg, this is a bit off-topic from this particular video. But do you know how I can integrate my TeeSpring Merch into my personal blog? I have several blogs and I would like to showcase my shirts on my niche sites. Any ideas? I appreciate any help I can get.
i have a question, how can i turn a "converted van" website to money? who do i affiliate with in this specific example?
Absolutely! Great niche too.. Off the top of my mind I can think of advertisements (you can start with Google Adsense and then work up into Mediavine etc.), amazon affiliate products for the van builds (think along the lines of MaxxAir fans, they are $200+ each so it's a nice commission), and information products (like a digital download ebook on a topic van lifers would be willing to pay $5-10 for). Lots of good options for you. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried that helped, thank you!
what other tools offer free trial beside semrush and does similar job? semrush doesntoffer free trial anymore
Greg coming in clutch like always.
Awesome to hear- thank you!👍🏼
Hey I am from India glad for your support thx. I am facing problem in teespring when I make my product design and publish they says complete your payout info but I already done ( as much I know) can you help me. Kindly request😇😇
Great video as always greg. After doing 800 pod designs following your lead I've jumped into my first affiliate site. So far I've written 11 of the 30 articles. Using KW finder and ask the people. Havent had much luck with POD. Little bit here and there but really hoping I can get my affiliate site to turn a bit of profit.
How’d it turn out for you?
How turn out of you, what is result
Greg can we target a particular country for selling tees?
Very helpful thanks
Glad it helped Vanessa. Thank you for taking the time to comment too.
Greg, thanks for beings so transparent!
You're welcome, I hope it helps! There's plenty of room for all the action takers to succeed so why not ;) Also, thank you for taking the time to comment!
Is there anything stopping someone from making a blog for affiliate links and as well as promote their POD designs on the same website?
Not at all! I've done it myself :) Here's a video I made on it: ruclips.net/video/1KI6VyrVHlk/видео.html
@@GregGottfried perfect, thanks man! Keep up the great content🙏🏽
What website build tool would you request to use? I look on building my own website could you please help me out. I took all your information on Printing on demand Tee 👕 hope that this side business work out for me . But want to do affiliate marketing with my business is long term goal.
I've used a lot of builders but I personally now just use WIX and WordPress for my affiliate sites. WIX is easier to use but more expensive, WordPress is cheaper but a bit tricky to use. Here's a video to help compare the 2: ruclips.net/video/M8admCOvzUM/видео.html
I love your video and love all the information you putting out
Thank you so much!
Hey Greg thx so much for all the help. I have a question for you if I may. I'm passionate about books and I wouldn't mind open a blog in which I review all the books I go through every single week. The problem is that I've been told from different affiliate marketers to stay away from low ticket products like books. Creating this project wouldn't be as harsh as doing it for niche that I don't care about but it'd still be work so I'd obviously need to be able to make some money eventually out of it. I'd really appreciate to know you opinion on this. Have a great day :)
Hey Gus, excellent question. I agree with what the others are saying, but it's a very general statement that needs to be looked at on a site-by-site basis. In your case, I would recommend going forward with your niche, and doing so on a WordPress website. I recommend doing so because if books are your passion, you will have no issue writing compelling content that brings in traffic (that's the hardest part) and I value this over finding a "profitable" niche that you have no real passion for. Further, by doing so on a WordPress website, you will have a very easy time adding Display Ads to your website (which really helps increase revenue for low ticket niches). All in all, I would 100% recommend going forward with your site idea. As far as WordPress, you'll have to pick a hosting service and a website template. For hosting, I recommend Bluehost for VERY beginners, and Rocket.net as my personal favorite host long term. For themes, I recommend Acabado. Between those tools, you should have a top notch site! Hope that helps!
Great video. Came at just the right time. I do have a few questions though and would love your insight on them.
1) Which type of affiliate products would you link to? I mean the products have to be related to the articles but I'm thinking what type of products will I find on Amazon, related to converted vans or micro-greens?
2) Do you still prefer Amazon Affiliate program? With so many other affiliate programs, and since the commission rate cut, I'm kinda leaning towards other ones...
3) and finally, after the 30 articles, do you just leave it and wait for the traffic or can we do things like indexing (I'm currently not sure what that is but I read it somewhere) to get the traffic faster?
Sorry I think I asked way too many question lol.
Hey Greg, I have a question related to teespring marketing place.. I got trust score and my designs are in marketplace now but still there aren't many views and there is no sale after I got my trust score!! Till now, every sale I got was from direct marketing and one more through boosted network.. it's been 10 days and I've realised that views are getting lower and lower from what I did through direct marketing...what do I do??
Work on niches or do paid marketing or what?
No worries! Thanks for asking! It usually takes about a month for the trust score tot kick in (sorry for not mentioning that more often in these videos!). Especially lately, they have been at least 1 month until the trust score kicks in. I'd just keep going and give it a bitt more time :) I hope that helps, and thank you for the comment Aruna!
I've had this problem too, it seems teespring has different milestones to boost your trust score. For example, 10 sales get you to another tier, and the more sales you make, the more your trust score will go up... then the more they will advertise for you. For me, I'm just uploading as many designs as I can each day to get my chances of being seen higher on the marketplace. After 2 months I reached 10 sales, 2 coming from the boosted network. Hope this helps in some way.
@@jackingramonline5333 Thank you so much!!! I will keep doing the same :)
Thanks for this video. If you were restarting which one would you start first pod or affiliate?
Great question! II'd start with POD first and then affiliate after :) If you are more inclined to do affiliate marketing first, that would work too. The big thing is just to do 1 at a time I think. I hope that helps!
hey Greg is that 1000-1500 words per EDUCATION entry or should all the articles, meaning all the ones in other categories also be 1000-1500 words per entry?
I love your videos - thank you for making them!
Glad you like them! Thanks Kimberley!
hi. if I am affiliate with top 5 retail companies. What kind of website or how should I create website so each retail store approves my site?

How to write content? any tool/sites/tutorials?
Very informative as usual 👌🏻
Thank you!!
Hey Greg, a quick question. what if finished writing our articles for our niche affiliate marketing website in the first 3 months or should we write it slowly, what are your views?
If you have a video that shows how to get started in all this for beginners could you please link it Greg?
I've got a couple for you here: Watch this one first: ruclips.net/video/M8admCOvzUM/видео.html and then here is WIX ruclips.net/video/2FtzvcxFVRw/видео.html and here is WordPress ruclips.net/video/d7SJepbLYNE/видео.html This is also an option for WIX (to buy a pre-made template) ruclips.net/video/XacfAHV5G9s/видео.html I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Thanks Greg!
Hi Greg I’m a huge fan! What do you think about posting wine related products on a wine blog site or horse related products on a horse blog site? Do the products have to be exact to the blogs or just related?
Excellent question Anastasia! Yes, you can absolutely write about related products within the niche. For example, on a wine site you could write about wine subscription clubs, specific wine openers, any wine accessory you could think of, and even link up a wine related POD store (more on that here if you want to check it out) ruclips.net/video/1KI6VyrVHlk/видео.html I hope that helps!
Hi Greg, does sas has more difficulty
Thanks for this video. It came just in time. I love all your videos. I mean, they are really helpful. Thank you so much.
Love to hear that! Thank you for watching & feel free to let me know if you have any questions at all!👍🏼
Hi! Greg. I have lil bit confusion. 30 articles for single particular niche?!
Yes, 30 posts minimum per niche website.
@@GregGottfried Would all 30 articles be for the same exact product / affiliate link? Or should I find 30 different products to promote within that niche? ORRR, do I spread it out over say 10-15 products, with for instance each product being promoted on 2-3 different posts? Also, what are your thoughts on outsourcing the articles? This is the first video I've seen of yours that mentions SEMRush. That tool looks amazing. I will definitely be getting it through your link.
Hey Greg! Could you do a video on copywriting? And please share some resources that helped you out in the beginning?
Hi Greg, this video is good, one more thing have to clarify from you, that in Instagram we can only put one website ryt... In the other videos you says so many different storefront have to use for particular design then... if customer wants our previous uploaded Tees means how can they buy from insta website..
If I updated into next present t-shirt storefront website...
do the 30 articles have to be completed and in the website before you launch it? Or do we launch the website and then add the blog posts one at a time?
Great question Liz! The posts can be published as you write them after the site is published. I usually start publishing my first articles within a few days of launching the site. I hope that helps!
Greg, THANK YOU for the great content!
Happy to share with people like you Chris! Thanks for your support 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Greg! Great content! Are these articles to be used for the education sections? I know you mentioned to split up the articles into reviews, top lists and education but will this strategy still include this method. Also do we still use amazon associates? Thanks so much!
Yes exactly right! The reviews and top lists can be written for all/any/the popular products in the niche. Also, yes I still use and recommend Amazon Associates :) I hope that helps!
Good video. Question: One thing that is still not clear to me is: When one has an Affiliate Marketing website, is it supposed to be devoted to one niche only? For example, can you have a website that deals with 3 unrelated niches or would this be awkward?
Excellent question! Yes you definitely want to separate unrelated niches into separate sites entirely. This is so Google knows what your site is all about (and ranks you better) and so that visitors stay interested while visiting your site. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Thank you, very much! 1) But even if one has several Affiliate Marketing websites, can one keep them under one WordPress account? 2) And one still needs a a web hosting company like Bluehost, right? 3) Bluehost can allow one to have several websites, true or not?
Hi Greg, I'm publishing a book in my niche about 30,000 words. Is it ok for my to use the chapters and articles from the book on my website? This way I can have at least 30 or so blog posts right away.
Is low volume bad? Niche I'm interested in has 12k and 76% difficulty.
When it comes to keyword difficulty 60-75 is ideal but what about search volume?
Hey,Greg please make video on how to make one link in Amazon associates
Hi Greg, really great video. Quick question: I have subscribed to the 7 day free trial with SEMrush but my screen doesnt look like your in the tutorial... What menu do I select to get the correct search box for the steps you show in the video?
Great info Greg, as always. Thank you!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching 👍🏼
It's one of your best videos man, I really liked it. But I have a question, where could you find companies to be affiliated for these niches since we used to go after amazon, click bank...etc. Thanks again
Hi Greg, I enjoyed the video. When you say my site should have 30 articles, should they all be around the same topic? So for instance, with your converted van idea, should it all be about converted vans and that lifestyle? Or can I create more of a "lifestyle" type site that writes about a bunch of different things?
Hey Greg, you've been a real blessing. From the first day I watched your video on how you earn from multiple streams I've stayed glued, I've actually started a channel to add another stream, would appreciate the encouragement. Let's see how it goes.
Great to hear- you got this!! Thank you so much for watching and hour kind comment- it means a lot! I wish you all the success in the world! 👍🏼👍🏼
This video comes at the right time. Just about to start affiliate marketing although I already have a niche I want to concentrate on 🌿 I'm about to publish a new video about it soon. Thanks for this video, it's great! ✨
Perfect timing! What an exciting time of the journey, I hope your site does extremely well and hopefully the research tool can help confirm your niche!
How’s your business going?
Hi Greg! Thanks for the valuable content. I've been binging your videos. I have a question for you...can I use a pre-existing Shopify store instead of Wix for affiliate marketing?
Thanks, Greg :) In December 2017 I started a niche site similar to one of the top 3 you mentioned in this video. I was clueless on researching topics (back then) so I started out by answering the questions people asked me as I lived and traveled in my self-converted van. I moved in with my Dad as his Caregiver shortly after starting the site and I only wrote 14-15 posts. I don't earn much from it but, lately, every month is more than the last. I'm currently in the "figuring out life without Dad" phase but I plan to get back to building my business soon. But... I have to pick ONE THING! I started several things at once and, in hindsight, that was not a good idea.
Wow Connie- first off- you’re amazing! Second, that’s awesome that you started and are making more each month. It’s definitely a lot when you start out and try to do it all at once- but it looks like you figured out that one step at a time works a bit better. I believe in you & feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way- you got this!! Thank you so much for your comment😊
@@GregGottfried Aww... thanks for the kind words and motivation 😊
What now result for you, is it good
@milamixedbreedterrier73 Earlier this year, I let the website go. I had way too many things in the works and never worked on the website. It became a source of clutter for me. The small earnings didn't justify keeping it active just so it could hang out in limbo land. Sometimes it's good to declutter and make way for better things 😊
@@SimplyConnie247 Tell my you have small earnings, and how many blogs you have and affiliate link, because with affiliate website you have to be persistent for one year, and many blogs to have, and then the earnings start only as far as I understand... Now I don't know if I should start at all, or if I should first take a course for that 🤨
Hello Greg! I have a question about POD Instagram page. In your opinion should we make it as a shop Instagram page? Should we put prices in the description?
Thanks for the amazing and inspiring content! Which affiliate program(s) could you recommend instead of amazon associates - espacially for the first blog?
Very useful tutorial, thanks a lot. What about the monetisation ? Now you have visitors, which affiliate product do you sell ?
Greg are you reading my mind? I was just brainstorming abt what niche I should go for my next website! I've finished my 1st 30 articles yesterday (took me abt a month, I'm in college and I don't have a lot of time) and still only 20 ppl saw my website but I'm positive! I'll be updating how my website goes.
PS: thanks Greg for the awesome video, keep making more abt affiliate marketing, since you have so many abt pod, which is also great but way less complicated
You’re awesome Francisco- perhaps I should add mind reading to my resume? Lol But I’m so happy to hear that you’re persevering! I can definitely understand about the limited time with school- keep in mind to just take one step at a time- you got this!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way! I wish you nothing but success😊
Super awesome as usual! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Rick- I appreciate your support!
Hello Greg.
Do you happen to have any examples of websites that I can see with an good example of 30 blogs and the 3 different types of articles on it if you don't mind. By seeing an example I get a better idea of putting my own website together without plagiarizing anything of course.
Hope all is well! Excellent channel Greg!
