you may uh we're gonna start off with audio today if that's uh you know if everybody's
okay with that yesterday's video i didn't have my mic on for like a minute uh anyway so uh
what we're gonna talk about today first of all is my shirt i wore it yesterday so i imagine some of
you are probably like martha are you wearing the same shirt as yesterday and to you i would say
yes i absolutely am it has been washed and it has been dried but this is moving life right i'm in
between two houses right now the reason i'm not fully in the other house is because we are down
half a mattress or no not have a mattress that'd be weird we are down half a couch and an entire
mattress and our dining room chairs or like we're half in half out so that's where we're
at anyway you guys let's go ahead and get at it so this is going to be a simple way
simple trick to sharing your affiliate links without being a skeez ball sound fair
it's really it's something that we already do anyway but it's creating testimonials
or a review let's say a review because that's what people get more curious about
when you see a review of something you're like i need that and whenever people are
looking to go buy something what are they looking for i mean what do you look for
you look for reviews don't you and so what if you were to do a video
about i don't know this phone and you were to do a review of this phone and i would be like
this phone is pretty awesome uh it has gotten me through some hard times uh i have a little pop
socket thing you could even do a separate review just so you can see it there whoops there you go i
love pop sockets by the way i should do a review on pop sockets i do love pop sockets but anyway
um you could do a review of whatever so what you know if you've already picked out your services
and what you're going to be and your products and things that you're going to be sharing if
you haven't done that yet there's a video an hour long video in the description of this in
of this video there's an hour-long master class of here's how you do affiliate marketing right and so
you'd be able to start getting your stuff together and essentially you start making money that day
but whenever you're doing reviews what you want to do is i'm a big fan of calling out the elephant so
when you're doing a review and you're sharing affiliate links in the review don't just make
it all shelly i'm putting you up on screen i ain't seeing you for a minute hi shelly um whenever you
do reviews you don't want to act like you don't want first of all you don't want to oversell
overselling feels skeezy even if it's all true it feels skeezy because everything can't be perfect
there has to be something that you expected that didn't happen or whatever you have to really
when you're reviewing something you have to say okay so in comparison to this
i expected this and this is what i got right and maybe the fact is is that your
product or service that you're offering or that you're suggesting or referring is perfect
that's okay what you need to say what you need to say is you need to anchor in with the psychology
of somebody reading it when you read a review what's the first thing you're thinking okay i
want to know if this is trash i want to know if this is garbage if this is something i should
not invest my money in right that's what i want to know and so the very first paragraph needs to say
something like you know when i tried this thing i didn't i i assumed the worst i was assuming
that this wasn't going to do what i wanted it to do i assumed it was going to be another thing
that didn't actually do what it said it was going to and blah blah blah and so that needs to be your
first paragraph what were your thought processes when you first used the thing that you're talking
about right because that is theirs that's where they can anchor in and be like yes me too and
when you have a me too moment they're gonna keep reading okay because so would you so easy
right guys and so whenever you do that then next paragraph can just say what your experience was
with it and if you can put it into some sort of story i'm not telling you to become a professional
writer but if you can put it into some sort of story where it's like there a story of a
thing that happened when you used it a thing that surprised you you know so if it's an object or a
thing you know a retail thing that somebody can use maybe you have a story of your kid using it or
you know maybe you're my seven-year-old loves to clean the kitchen i don't know
if your guys seven-year-olds do this but like i need to put my seven-year-old on the payroll
because she loves to clean the kitchen like loves it okay and so if i were to give her new cleaning
tools the girl would be like in heaven so i could say like you know we got this new mop or whatever
and i thought it was gonna be awesome and you know whatever and then uh and then my
seven-year-old started using it cleaned up the whole kitchen in like three minutes flat
so easiest mop ever my seven-year-old even loves it like that's you need to be able to relate with
who your people are right i speak to families we have kids or we have nieces and nephews
there are little people in our lives you know and so being able to speak to that
now brings us all into a place where we're we're community and we should be right
so what i suggest to you guys without going too long here what i suggest to you guys is writing
a review and make it a blog post but again the trick on the blog post you guys for it to be
scanned by google it needs to be at least 300 words in length if it is not 300 words in length
it's not even going to get scanned make sure it's at least 300 words in length so you improve
your seo or your search engine optimization or for others that don't know what that means how
you push it to the top of google so when somebody is searching that term that you're talking about
you show up on top okay it's the the movement of getting on top you're not going to get
there immediately this is not me saying that okay so but over time enough of that and also
if you wanted to know more about all of this stuff i again do the master class
okay the master class hour-long master class i go into all of the geekery there are gold nub
nuggets dropped left and right make sure you do that i'm gonna pop out of here love you guys bye
