Oftentimes I see people struggling because they're focusing on keywords only.
That was me.
I focused on which keywords drive traffic and completely ignored whether or not they could convert readers into buyers.
I want you to STOP wasting your time like I did.
Have a look at these 3 website examples. This is the ultimate truth about website monetisation and how to actually earn money, and they aren't wasting their time writing irrelevant content like I did.
1. monitornerds.com
2. switchbacktravel.com
3. 10beasts.com
If anyone knows how to make money from their websites, it's the above website owners.
They really hone in on people that are very deep into the buyer cycle and are essentially "ready with their credit card out" to make a purchase decision then and there.
All you have to do is convince these people to make the purchase when they're already ready to buy something anyway!
Steps to follow IN ORDER!!!! (very important):
- Find keywords with buyer intent (top product, top products, best product(s), product review, product reviews, cheap products, where to buy product, buy product online, best product for home, best product for seniors, best product for _________ (insert anything else).... USE YOUR IMAGINATION!
- Install MozBar
- Pump the keyword you found into Google and use the MozBar to find DA and PA under 30, preferably under 20 (super, super important). You need at least TWO WEBSITES with DA & PA under 30 (preferably 20).
- This isn't to outrank your competition - rather, it's a tool you will use to proove to yourself that you can rank that keyword as well if they did it!
- Look for exact match keywords in the following 3 places:
- Title
- SEO description
- URL
- If your specific keyword (example from the video: top hunting knives) isn't an EXACT MATCH AND has DA/PA under 30 you're essentially golden to get started!
- Use a word counter to determine how many words the highest quality competitors' articles have and then make sure your article has more damn words (simple enough right ....)
- Final step: Write higher quality articles that are better than your competitors' articles!
Let me know if you have any questions.

For some reason a thousand or two sticks in my head, but you mentioned six thousand.
The general rule of thumb is about 300-500 words per affiliate link so if you're doing a big buyer's list of 15-20 products, you should aim for about 5000-8000 words to keep from being penalised by Google.
Also, it's been proven time and time again that long-form content ranks better, so for your important "informational posts" aim for at least 2000 words.
For How-To's and things like that, 1000-1500 is fine.
Please let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to answer them!
I was just concerned because my WA Review is @1000 words, but my Jaaxy Review is only @500.
Until I'm more familiar with the Jaaxy Tool, I may not be able to write 1000 wds of "meaningful content" without sounding robotic or like a training manual.
So, I get what you're saying and that's ok. I was curious if it effected ranking in search engines. That's the only thing I would be concerned about.
Thanks for answering my question.
