Hi. My name is Nathaniel and this is one more
cup of coffee where we talk about online business, making money on the internet,
and financial independence.
Today is day 17 of the video series where I teach you how to build a profitable
website on the internet for free and we are going to look into posting a keyword
targeted post with affiliate links today. So I did my keyword research on tools
that I showed you before and I came up with a keyword call giant zebra print shoe chair.
It's a pretty weird keyword but it had low competition and low amount of websites
that were using this term.
It had a decent amount of traffic. It was I think 30 or 40 per months and it
was something that was kinda easy for me to write about so I decided to go ahead
with it. Now for any blog post we're looking for
over 400 words. I've got 482 but that's kinda because I
have all these links put in here. I have my links saved so I know what I'm
going to link to.
So we're gonna do two things today and that's post this post with -that's
targeted towards the keyword and we're gonna insert some affiliate links.
So I'm gonna copy this.
I'm gonna head over to my blog and make a new post.
I'm gonna paste that in there. We're not ready to post yet.
Now you can leave it as just your key word but kind of nice to have because
we're not running an e-store you know with just the pictures.
We're also doing a blog.
It's good to have some kind of topic that you're actually talking about so you're
not just putting pictures and prices.
So I'm gonna change the title to compare
styles and prices of giant shoe chairs.
Which is pretty cool. If someone's looking for this item then I
think they will definitely want to at least click on my site and visit it.
They may not buy through me but at least I'm gonna get the click and you know some
might convert into paying customers. I'm gonna go ahead and pick a category at
a tag. Now both of these tags I think I could
use in the future. Zebra print.
Other types of chairs and shoe chairs that are not zebra print.
So that's why I added those two tags,
Okay so that is all set up. Now the difficult thing for this post
is going to be adding in all the pictures
except we've got so many items in here. I've got about 8 different items.
It's gonna be kind of a pain to get all those pictures up.
Now what I've done I've got a couple of different affiliate programs.
Some I'm waiting on so I'm not gonna post this right away but let's go ahead
and look at Wal-Mart.
So Wal-Mart's got a close system where
you can actually enter the page URL you want to link to and in your test the link
and it'll make a link automatically.
Okay. So here's the item I wanna link to.
So what I can do is like grab this link.
Put that in there Zebra print shoe chair,
get HTML so it's gonna give you this code here and if I want to I can go to text.
Go to text editor.
If I just paste that in there that's going to do is that it's gonna make a link
like that. So I could put that wherever I want to.
I can let's say for I example. I want to put it text.
I've already written I go to Ctrl F. Find that word I want zebra print shoe chair.
Okay. So let's say I want to replace this link
here with a Wal-Mart link. I can just high light that paste that
code in there then go back to the visual editor and you can see that it's done.
Great. Version of the giant zebra print shoe chair.
The only problem with that is that it's not the exact place that I want.
I want it to link to a picture so I'm gonna have to get a picture of this
Chelsea SC-Z Diva. So I'm gonna just grab this picture from
the Wal-Mart website and then put that image in here.
It's a good idea to use the name of your product in the title and the Alt text.
Okay. Now the thing I wanna show you here,
so if we go to our link generator we need to identify what our affiliate link is.
So if we go to a href equals and quotes all of the things in the quote is our
affiliate link, all these percentage signs, all these crazy numbers until the
end of the quotes there. That long link is our affiliate link.
You don't need to worry about all the other stuff right now if we just copy that
then we click on this, highlight it.
Click the link button, paste our link in there. Give our link a name.
You're gonna open that in a new tab, add link and if someone hovers over it,
they see the name of the chair and we're gonna preview that and then you can see that's a link.
If they hover over it they'll know they can click and they click it and it'll
take them to this page in Wal-Mart.
So I'm gonna make this look like a little bit nicer.
I'm going to put some space here and get a Wal-Mart a big title.
I'm gonna put the price below the name.
Make that a bit bigger.
Change the color.
So I'm gonna show you what this looks like in just a second.
The other thing we need to do is we're also going to.
You don't need this anymore but I'm gonna keep it because I'm not finished with this post.
I'm gonna create a text link as well. So what we can do to create a text link
with our affiliate link we can create something that -it encourages people to
buy other or so that they know where they can click.
Click here to buy it now or something like that.
So then I'm gonna grab my affiliate code
to see what that is. I can just open up this link.
Copy that and put the link in there.
Also gonna grab the same text buy
and we're done with that item and you can see I've got about 8 different items in there
so I'm gonna have to go through and do all those but I'm not gonna make you sit
through that for the entire video. Once we're finished, we are going to publish.
Check all our links to make sure all of them work and then we're done.
So your homework for today might take you a while.
You're going to need to double check your keyword research or do it if you haven't
done it already. You're going to make sure that you have
been approved for the affiliate program of your choice and grab your links to the
items that you want.
You're going to need to write out a blog post somewhere 400 word is ideal depending
on what your product or services you could do anywhere from 200 to 600.
400 is ideal.
After you write that out you're gonna need to get appropriate pictures.
You're going to need to set up the post in a way that you feel flows nicely you know.
You don't wanna start out the post to hey buy this and then you tell them about it.
You know you wanna ease into. You wanna pre-sell and there's all kind
of different tactics you're gonna have to kinda see what works for you and your niche.
I definitely wouldn't overload it with tons of authors you know having 8
different styles works because I am comparing things here but you know for
you, you may have one. You might only have two affiliate links
leading to one item.
So it's gonna depend in your ideas on what works and what not will change over
the course of time as you do this more.
So remember fewer affiliate links are better and then once you get those
affiliate links up you need to make sure all your post all the information is in it
you would normally add it and then you're done and the go ahead and publish it as
you normally would.
