Affiliate Marketing
Earn recommendation revenue without making the product.
Affiliate marketing is the cleanest way to monetize trust: you recommend tools and products you actually use, and you earn a cut every time someone buys through your link. Done right it's recurring, scalable and compounds with your archive — old reviews keep paying for years. Done wrong it tanks trust in a single post. This cluster covers the math (EPC, conversion windows, cookie duration), the formats that convert (comparisons, deep reviews, listicles), and the niches where affiliate revenue actually scales.
Best for
- SEO-driven creators and bloggers
- Newsletter operators with buying audiences
- Anyone reviewing software, gear or courses
