19: Profitable Affiliate Marketing, Even in an Insanely Competitive Niche

Thursday, May 14, 2020 • Duration 43:40

Just because a niche is insanely competitive, it doesn't mean you can't start an affiliate site and claim a slice of the revenue.

At least, that's what Sa El of SimplyInsurance.com has done, and the way he lays out how he's done it will pique the interest of affiliate marketers out there.

Sa was a door-to-door insurance salesman in Atlanta. He wanted to get into the online space and build an affiliate site, and with more than 11 years' experience in the insurance industry, it made sense to enter the insurance niche.

He took Brain Dean's SEO That Works course to learn the ropes. But, when he told Brian he was going to build a site in the insurance niche, he was advised against it.

Did Sa go back to the drawing board and look for a new niche?

Nope.

Sa told me there were two reasons why he decided to go ahead and build his site:

He likes a challenge, and
If the niche is that competitive, most of his competition is already at the top, leaving room for him to work his way up.

That was 2 years ago.

Today, Sa's site is bringing in 6000 visitors a month and $13k-$15k in revenue.

Note: Click here to download Sa's top tips for starting and growing an affiliate site in a competitive niche from this episode.

These numbers prove how competitive the insurance niche is. That's a huge revenue number for 6k visitors, and Sa told me that only around 4.5k of those visitors are landing on his "money pages." (Some examples linked below.)

Tune in to hear how Sa strategically built out his content to capture longtail traffic, how he builds backlinks (lots of them) to rank his money pages, and the tools he's using to accelerate his efforts.

Before starting his site in December last year Ben had never even written a blog post. However, after finding a passion for writing and encouraged by positive feedback, he "tripled down" on content and started getting huge exposure almost right away -- something new sites often struggle with.

4: Building a Blog to $20k a Month and Beyond

Wednesday, October 24, 2018 • Duration 37:00

You may remember Rosemarie Groner from episode 142 of the Side Hustle Show last year. She revealed how her blog Busy Budgeter was just a year old and receiving around 400,000 pageviews and making around $5k a month — primarily through Pinterest traffic.

It's almost a year later now and I had to have her back to see how things were progressing. Rosemarie is now regularly making more than $20k a month, and while her pageviews are still at a similar number she has improved her ROI and diversified her traffic and income sources.

Note: Click here to download Rosemarie's top traffic and monetization tips from this episode.

Rosemarie is still getting a ton of traffic from Pinterest and explains how she has moved with the changes on the platform to maintain her numbers. She also talks about how she has started focusing on SEO, has built different email lists to sell different products to, and why calculating the ROI on a project should be one of your first considerations.

Her first appearance on episode 142 was one of the most popular shows of last year and I expect this episode to be just as popular. It's packed with actionable tips and information you can use to increase your own traffic numbers and earnings, along with some of the new tips and tricks Rosemarie has implemented in the last year.
