I recommend providing value to people first then after gaining an audience, that is when it would be ideal to show your products. You could provide value by answering people's questions on simple things that you may have knowledge of or a solution. It is important to work on a specific interest or a niche when engaging so you are not wasting your time, which is very valuable. However, when it comes to getting organic traffic, I think it is great to work on big keywords on whatever it is that people are looking up. People tend to network to get through the algorithm that could potentially hold them back from what they are seeking. So it is great to join a group on a website like Facebook for that reason. After learning from people with similar interests as yourself, you can use that knowledge when you decide to lead or bring solutions to other spaces.
Here is an example of a group that could potentially bring value to your affiliated marketing process.
Here you can see a person asking a question about a particular product. I answer the person's question and provided my affiliate link in the process. Here I am providing the person value because I am giving a solution to a person's question. Instead of putting random links around, it is ideal to always make content that is valuable to the reader.
For the sake of argument, let's pretend we are searching for a budget gaming laptop.
The first thing many people will do is either looking for the product on a search engine or go through a website or source of information that they trust is reliable.
In this case, I will look on Google.
Here you see Google is telling you what people are searching for too. Also, the top results have 2021 and have URL's that would indicate they focus on this kind of content.
The first thing I see noticed is the lowest-priced laptop and the engaging design of the Acer Nitro 5.
As a result, I want to see the laptop that caught my attention and clicked the "SEE IT" button.
There it is! I clicked on the link and the objective of making engaging content was successful. Hopefully, you learned something from this and apply the knowledge you learn here to make your affiliate marketing business more successful.
And of course, this is an example of what that kind of format would look like on my website.
