Product Reviews = Easy Sales

It's rough when you put out high-quality blog posts but nobody buys through your affiliate link

The first time I reached $1000 monthly income with blogging was by writing product reviews

You can do the same...

THREAD TIME

1) Building up authority and trust takes a while.

Product reviews are almost like a loophole to circumvent this "waiting period"

There are two reasons for this:

- Buyer traffic
- Expertise

2) One of the most important reasons is that product reviews attract something called "buyer traffic"

Think about it: Who searches for a product review?

It's a person that's already thinking about buying something!

That means you don't have to do any convincing or selling.

3) All you have to do is help them find the product that's best for them.

No selling necessary.

So reviews attract high-quality traffic which increases your chances of making affiliate sales.

Pretty cool!

4) Another reason why product reviews work is because you don't have to be an expert or authority to do them.

If you're teaching people how to trade stocks, they will question your expertise and authority on the topic.

5) But much less so when you are reviewing the most popular stock trading courses online.

These are just two reasons why product reviews work extremely well with affiliate marketing.

Just remember this: You don't write one review and earn 4 figures blogging.

6) Back then when I started, I wrote over 70 reviews until I cracked 4 figures.

But I did it in like 3-4 months

And I didn't even do it well (so many dumb mistakes...)

I still had a lot to learn back then. Things that you already know simply by reading my tweets & threads.

7) Not only that, I messed up big time by writing all my product reviews on a free third party platform.

That platform shut down and I lost all my traffic & sales. Nobody warned young me about that.

That's why I only write on blogs that I own. I've learned my lesson.

8) The reason why people quit blogging & affiliate marketing is because they don't see any results.

You need training and you need a proper strategy.

In my opinion, what they teach on Wealthy Affiliate is the best video training (aff link): https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/a_aid/8ac3096c/campaign/jamestwitter

9) You are not limited to blogging, of course.

Product reviews work on YouTube, too.

There are entire channels built around product reviews and best-of lists.

So if video is more your thing, do it on YouTube.

10) To increase your earnings, you could even do both!

Write a product review on your blog.

Then turn it into a video for your YouTube channel.

Or the other way around.

11) Here's how I would do product reviews today:

- Write 20+ reviews on your blog
- Check which one starts getting traffic
- Add more content to the ones that are receiving traffic
- Try out different CTAs and monitor CTRs
- Summarize your reviews and create "best-of" lists

12) If you're a blogger struggling with affiliate marketing, make a commitment to add product reviews to your content mix.

I have written a blog post that shows you how to write product reviews that your audience will like: https://fromclicktosale.com/how-to-write-a-great-review/

One final thought...

13) "There are other people reviewing the same products & courses"

Think about how many people will read this thread. And how few will ever apply this knowledge (or forget this info altogether).

Don't worry about competition. If you take action, you're already in the 1%.
