So you want to get started with Affiliate marketing but you have no Audience yet well this is actually where All of us start in the beginning so in This video I'm going to break down the Fastest ways to make money with Affiliate marketing with xero audience And I took my time on this one we kind Of cover a lot of unique strategies some Really outside the box thinking things Like do sponsored ads work faceless YouTube channels Pinterest using AI Google AdWords and a lot more so let's Get right into it affiliate marketing Can be quite difficult to start with no Audience but it's where we all start is We all start at the beginning no Audience yet we're building an online Business for ourselves and I always Usually recommend most of my videos I Teach long-term brand building via SEO And YouTube because you're creating Content putting it out in the world and Then getting unlimited Roi based on free Traffic free views on your channel However in this video I'm going to make It a little bit different so I want to Go over the seven best ways to make Money with affiliate marketing with no Audience starting from zero what are the Fastest ways we can talk about Advertising we can talk about content Networks and all kinds of different Stuff so let's get right into it first I
Want to cover Google and Bing ads so I Get this question a lot from people on YouTube it's like should I put ads uh on Google to send traffic to my blog and The answer is a little bit more Challenging than you would first expect So first of all we have to talk about Blog posts versus PPC landing pages so If we're going to pay for traffic and We're going to pay for Edwards it can Get quite expensive we want to really Make sure that we're optimizing this to Maximize our Revenue we don't want to Spend money and not have it optimized And trickle in a little bit of money we Want to make a lot so for most of the Time blog posts aren't typically Optimized for AdWords unless there's Really you know optimized the way to do It is with PPC landing pages which we'll Cover and affiliate links on these Things need to be 100 optimized so we Can't have you know if we're having a Top uh you know top five post we need All five of those Brands to have Affiliate links we don't want to just Have one brand with affiliate links we Want to maximize our return so there's Many different strategies when it comes To PPC affiliate marketing both on Google and Bing so some uh PPC Affiliates have a landing page with one Only one brand so it's a specific review With lots of affiliate links buttons and
Calls to action to that one specific Brand to an offer there's also PPC Landing pages that are kind of what I Call comparison tables or comparison Charts with the top five Brands right There you're trying to really when You're paying for clicks you want to Maximize clicks on your affiliate links So you usually see them in this simple Format which we'll cover and then we There are some people that pay for Traffic to blog posts and it can work With the right strategies maybe more Info product related than affiliate Marketing but we can cover that as well And here's what we have to talk about so If you're just starting out as a brand New blogger it usually doesn't make Sense to just start blasting ads onto Your blog one it's not totally optimized Two budgets can be really high for this Stuff so that's why I call it playing With the big boys there are Brands Spending millions of dollars a month on PPC affiliate campaigns but they have a Super aggressive negotiations with the Brands to get really high commission Rates they have a whole system and team In place to build this and they have Optimized landing pages for different Categories which we'll cover and most of The uh the address is really expensive So you know we look at different costs Per click and then you say how am I
Going to make affiliate Revenue through Cost per click when the affiliate Commission is low so it has to be for High ticket stuff it has to be you have To make high commissions on these and The math has to actually work and make Sense but there are pockets of Opportunity everywhere timing is a Crucial component timing is actually Going to be a theme throughout this Whole video then we have to talk about Campaign optimization so you have Different campaigns your ad groups your Bidding strategies keywords Search terms And conversions so let's look at some Examples I just Googled here best home Security system so we're going to cover Some Google ads and specific affiliate Categories home security system we have Simply Safe which probably sells them Home security systems.net we also have Consumersadvocate.org which is a very Popular PPC affiliate which spends you Know I don't know five to eight million Dollars a month on PPC traffic but we See here this is an optimized landing Page for the 10 best home security Systems they have number one choice and This is what I consider the PPC Comparison chart for affiliate Revenue So they have all of these these are all Optimized affiliate links they even have Call Action so you can see their deals If you click on this it takes you to
Their specific landing page you know you Can get a free quote call now they're Probably being paid on a cost per lead Basis from these Brands and they're Driving a significant amount of traffic So PPC Affiliates drive a ton of traffic For these Brands but they also spend a Ton of money on these ads so we can see That this is uh home security systems And this is a super optimized article For that we can also look at best VPN so We can see vpnmentors.com top 10 VPN we Can see a lot of these sites and again The ads are the top top positions Usually the top four here on Google if Brands are bidding on them so Affiliates Are up there too and we can see that top 10 it's the same kind of layout so we Have expressvpn number one visit site I Click their affiliate link And you take it to This specific landing page same thing so It's really a way to quickly get traffic Quickly get to the top of that search And then get people to click on these Affiliate links quickly and you see that Like these all have to be optimized we Don't want to be spending money and then These some of these aren't affiliate Links and some of them are and this is a Big This is a big you know this is entirely Different business model than like Blogging and SEO content because you're
Paying for traffic it's scalable if you Can make it work but you have to really Be aggressive with negotiating make sure That the right brands are in the right Spots let's say expressvpn wasn't Converting that well for this PPC Affiliate well then they would want to Make change around the uh the order of These things here's another example for Student loans so when you search student Loans you can see consumer's Advocate Again is up here so far best student Loan companies if I click the consumer's Advocate link we can see it's the exact Same format again with College Ave in The number one spot and apply now in all The affiliate links so PPC affiliate Marketing is really its own business Model that's completely different from Organic SEO you have landing pages you Have optimized affiliate links you have Conversion tracking you have negotiating Higher commission rates that make the ROI positive and you have a completely Different system and it's usually set For people that have a large budget at Least ten thousand dollars a month to Spend on PPC it's a little bit harder When you're just starting out as a tiny Blog I don't recommend you just push Traffic to a new blog post or something Because the math usually breaks on that But we can see I put in consumer's Advocate that Oregon the hrefs and
Ahrefs also has a PPC paid Search tool You can see all their paid Pages Generally I don't know if this data is a Hundred percent accurate but we can see That Uh you can get broad estimates in a Ballpark range of what we think this Brand is doing so we can see like Student loans they they're getting 53 000 visits a month spending 400 000 a Month on student loans mattresses home Equity loans life insurance credit help Medical alert systems home warranties Things that can make a lot of affiliate Revenue and a cost per lead basis so There's a if you look at these these are Like kind of the top you know you can Look at different brands like Forbes has The same page on here there's a lot of Different you know PPC Affiliates and You can see their strategy completely Based on these these results and you can See these are probably some of the top SEO organic highest paid categories for Affiliates because they're making a lot Of money if you're going to spend 400 000 a month on student loans they're Probably making that money back if They're spending say eight million Dollars a month on PPC they might be Making 20 or 20 million dollars or more A month depending on their Roi but none Of us have that kind of money you know I Don't have that kind of money laying
Around to just throw a bunch of stuff Randomly at keywords I don't have the Money so it can be a little bit Difficult but what you can do and what You want to do is you're just starting Out is realize that timing is everything Just like blogging and SEO timing is a Crucial component of PPC but if you can Get in on product categories early Before everyone else and test them out And have a lower budget set a low cost Per click threshold Then you might actually have some Success with this but you don't want to Go after some old category that's super Competitive and you're paying 50 a click You have to figure out the math on this That works for you so what typically What you would recommend if you wanted To go down this route is you start a Small campaign based on one category you Build that PPC landing page for yourself Based on a you can use like Elementor or Cadence blocks and create some type of Specific template that looks kind of Like this And then you would create a small Campaign in AdWords or Bing depending on Uh Bing is typically cheaper but a lot Of the traffic is less high quality so You create some of those a small Campaign add a couple keywords in there For the main target terms maybe phrase Match and exact match and then you set a
Manual CPC bidding strategy so you can Set the bids yourself now what these Brands tend to do is they actually Optimize for conversions as well so how Do you optimize a campaign for Conversions when the conversion events Don't occur on your site so for example If I click through on student loans and Then I get to Consumers Advocate and Then I want to apply now well the Conversion is actually occurring Off-site so how do I track conversions In AdWords well you can use different Platforms like we can track or others But mainly a lot of these brands have Their own systems set up and they have And you can call apis to send the Conversion data from the affiliate Network back to Google AdWords that you Can optimize for those conversions so You'd have to set an API for every Single different affiliate Network so You could set one for impact one for Each individual programming platform That's why some of the stuff's a little Bit tricky because there's a lot of Conversion data and things you have to Do to set this up so PPC can work right If you do it for high ticket categories You start small you try to just break Even on the campaign optimize for Conversions and then build out the Strategy as you go so this is something That we're going to start testing and
Teaching as we go so Google and Bing ads Are a quick way to drive traffic to your Blog or PPC landing pages but if you're Interested in learning my exact process How I make few hundred thousand dollars A month with my blog YouTube channel all The strategies make sure to click the Link in the description below and sign Up for my free masterclass thousands of Students have gone through and had lots Of aha moments sign up for that free Training and let's get back to the video Next on the list to make money with no Audience is paid syndication or native Ads so these are ads that appear on news Sites kind of in the sponsored or Sidebar or areas so you can use Platforms to actually create these ads For yourself and you can see in like the New York Times has them they're even Sometimes on Twitter or other websites But there are ways to play place your Article on the web and it looks like They're from that website but they're Actually not people are paying to play In those you've probably seen them on CNN and other major sites so they look Like native content to the site but They're ads you can get directly in Front of your desired audience your Specific website they blend in with the Content and feel relevant so it's kind Of like you're getting this exposure Without too much extra work you're just
Setting up a campaign and then you're Getting traffic that way and once you Make money you can scale however the Traffic here is not that high quality so You're kind of using this as a tool to Get a lot of random clicks on your stuff You know sometimes you might see people Doing it and getting you know blasting You with ads on some article or Affiliate links but we'll go over some Examples for this and there's different Native ad networks like outbrain nativo Gravity and tabula tabool is probably One of the most popular ones and I'll Show you that we have to talk about Native ads as a marketing strategy so You have a affiliate article on Something the best mattresses you sign Up for taboola you put your sponsored Content in there and now you are on CNN.com saying these are the best Camping tents of all time or whatever it Is right that traffic is not as high Quality as someone directly searching Google or searching you know searching Google finding you organically searching Google clicking a PPC ad the audience Pool is very large and not that high Quality it's not that targeted so Actually most brands that do this are Using this as audience fodder so when we Think about the marketing strategy They're just trying to break even on These ads and these native ads to build
An audience pool to then do retargeting To then send them Google PPC ads display Ads Facebook ads it's really an audience Generating tactic not so much an Roi Tactic so it would be really hard to do Native ads as a strategy and get a three To one return on investment like you Spend a hundred dollars on taboola and You make 300 in affiliate commissions That's probably not going to happen it's An audience generation strategy that can Work well but you have to know what You're doing if you have info products It can also work well so let's look at Some examples here so if you look at Like the conservative news site Newsmax You can see this gray area here says Free Charles paint Unstoppable Prosperity it's a sponsored way to build A recession-proof portfolio I clicked Through that and it has this specific Product offering right so you reserve Your seat now and this is uh you know They're going to be selling something on The back end or you go to Huffingtonpost.com and you can see you Know you may like on the right sidebar This is a Wayfair ad it's actually kind Of funny these are uh almost retargeting Because I have this specific day bed Here I believe so if I click on this This is actually almost a direct Affiliate link going to that so you can See all of these different kind of like
You might like sponsored ads types of Things so you can also see a number of Different examples of how these native Ads are monetized it can be advertising Like banner ads affiliate info products All kinds of stuff so I went to cnn.com For example if I scroll down and I find Like paid content here so this is Recommended by out brain it's showing Recommending products direct products And then it's also you know so you see Some of these celebrity ones where it Sends you these celebrity articles and It's just blasting you with ads every Two lines so it's showing you all kinds Of ads for stuff that's another Monetization strategy as well so the Model itself is kind of interesting There's lots of ads there's lots of info Products there's lots of ways to Monetize this and build audiences with a Tool like taboola now for affiliate Marketing some of the industries that Actually work somewhat well for this are Like you've seen it with nutrition and Supplements so you see an ad on CNN you Click that and it goes to a page Offering you supplements and nutrition So the key here is finding the right High ticket product using taboo and Testing it with a small budget and then Sending them to a really optimized Landing page not just a blog post but Potentially a landing page with an offer
On it that will become Roi positive or At least help you break even make a Little bit of money build your audience Pool and then you can use other Strategies to drive that traffic and Sales as well all right third on the List to make money with affiliate Marketing without traffic or an audience Is Parasite SEO so parasite SEO is Paying another website a high domain Authority website to write the article For you or you send them the article and You add your own affiliate links on Another site so there's certain sites That do that so they have a domain Rating of like 85 90 92 you send them an Article you pay them and then they paste The article into their website and they Have your affiliate links there so you Pay up front for that sponsored Placement but then you have your own Affiliate links on a high traffic High Domain Authority site so the key here Again it's timing because it's hard to Rank for something you wouldn't want to Pay a big media site like six months or A year or two years after the keyword Took off and it's super competitive they Might never rank for it so you have to Find content ideas with low competition Keywords you can find sites that do this By searching Google for something like Best plus the product product term plus The word sponsored so you can see here
Like melatonin gummies sponsored there's All kinds of sponsored articles on these Big media sites there's a number of Players that do this So you can see the sponsored tag at the Top of the article to show that it is Sponsored and it might have another Brand's affiliate links in there not you Know the the website itself you can Reach out to these companies with Content ideas you can reach out to their Media teams and once approved you submit The article with your own affiliate Links so the cost is going to vary here Based on the site's Authority so maybe a Dr 90 site might charge you 3 500 for an Article or a set like couple thousand Dollars every month for the article but You have an Roi positive result on the Back end so you can pay other sites and Add your affiliate links in there's not A ton of these sites but you can find Them and timing again is everything with This approach but Google is catching on To this so you can see a lot of Different affiliate searches that you Put into Google and you'll see that it's All a bunch of random news sites SF Gate Some Dallas Morning News uh Japan times Whatever they are there's a bunch of Random news media sites writing these Really thin articles and ranking just Because they have authority so this is Something that was done for the last
Like five years I do believe that it's Going to kind of lose some steam over The next five years as Google catches on To this and parasite SEO isn't really a Positive thing it doesn't provide a good User experience for Google Searchers Just trying to find information on a Product I've seen you know really crappy Supplements and info products that paid Like 10 of these new sites just to cover Reviews so that you can't even really Tell if it's a good product or not They're all just paid sponsored reviews On YouTube and even on Google so let's Look at some examples of this so I put Into Google site colon sfgate.com and Then the word best so this is searching SFGate which is a very well known Parasite SEO site and then adding the Word best they're a part of Hearst Media Company we actually talked to them Before and it's something like 3 500 for One sponsored article and I can't even Remember if it's per month or it's it's An expensive thing but we can see all of These different affiliate articles that Are on SFGate and we can see you know Best debt settlement companies We have that one here and we can see This was written by Morristown Road Which is interesting and then when we Look at the affiliate links like they Have national debt relief it's take me If you look at the little affiliate link
On the left it's take me to the site.com Slash whiteht2 so these are just placed Affiliate links by a brand with an Affiliate sub IDs that are not related To SFGate but people are paying SFGate To put these affiliate articles in here You can also see like let's just try Some of these I haven't tried before so Like best online Therapy Services NorCal Marketing LLC this one is all over sfk They've been paying a ton of money and They probably have some inside deal with SFGate and do have been doing parasite SEO for five to ten years but this is NorCal marketing LLC writes this and When we look at the affiliate links Again better help take me to the Site.com so it's interesting this is an Affiliate link same thing take me to the Site.com But it's a different name for the author So parasite SEO is using sfgate's High Domain Authority 91 to write an article Put it on that site add your own Affiliate links pay them for it and then Profit so it's an interesting strategy You know if you start a blog all of our Domain ratings are typically zero when We start a new blog unless we buy a site Or something like that but parasite SEO You know you can pay big media sites to Write an article on a specific thing so You can go to HRS find a new keyword That you think you can make a lot of
Money on but you know you know it's a Little bit too competitive for my block To rank I'm gonna pay one of these media Sites I'm going to add my affiliate Links there just be wary of that because You don't want to pay a big media site Thousands of dollars and then it doesn't Work because there's also a link Building strategy here that parasite SEO Sites do so sites right guest blogs and Do link insertions and then link to the SF Gate posts and Link back to their own Site and it's a big kind of funnel of Links and monetization and confusing Revenue so it's definitely not and uh One I would say for new bloggers but if You're really interested in like trying This strategy definitely do your Homework Find the media contacts get the Media kit pricing try to give them you Know ask them understand what their Traffic is what they expect to get out Of it what the ROI can be and really do Your due diligence on this one number Four on the list to make money with no Audience is through a faceless YouTube Channel so this is something that you Can set up relatively quickly and make Money from with affiliate marketing so I'm going to show you how so it's Perfect if you don't want to show your Face so this is like me at the very Beginning when I first started my YouTube channel I was horrible on camera
I'm still not all that good but I at Least know how to look at the camera and Talk and say things so it's not too bad But what if you're not comfortable with That what if you want to make affiliate Revenue through YouTube which is the Second best uh platform to do it on in My opinion other than Google how do you Create this quickly how do you make Videos that are easy what if you're kind Of introverted this is how you can do it So first you want to find keywords Similar to using like a tool like ahrefs For SEO you can use vid IQ to find low Competition keywords for YouTube so Let's do that real quick Let's go to the keyword tool with vid IQ I put in the term best software and then I'm gonna go to the matching terms tool So then you can see based on the search Volume the competition and the overall Score and this is based on my channel But it's the overall score that gives You what's a good one that you could Cover so for me they're like you should Do an article on or a video on the best Email marketing software project Management software all of these Different things so you can look at that To find different affiliate ideas and Then what you would do is you would Paste your affiliate links into the YouTube description so for best email Marketing software you cover like
MailChimp convertkit active campaign all The tools and then you could join the Affiliate programs and add them and Special links into your YouTube Description making sure of course to Disclose that they are affiliate links So that's an interesting one using like A best term in vid IQ To come up with matching terms and other Tools what if I put in like Canon versus So this is a Canon like cameras or video Camcorders I could find something like a Very low competition Canon R6 versus RS R6 Mark II or Canon R6 Mark II versus Sony a7iv so these could be video ideas Where you're comparing two things and There's tons of faceless unboxing Channels and review channels and what You can do is you can create these types Of posts you don't have to like the you Know some of the channels yes if you're Reviewing products there's somebody on The screen and they're really well done And all that but there's pockets of Opportunity here for very low Competition keywords related to best Posts versus and reviews so lots of Different opportunities another good Search for affiliate marketing on YouTube is how to use you put in how to Use and these are like kind of tutorial Based videos and you can put affiliate Links in there so there's a lot around How to use chat GPT how to use mid
Journey lots of different things Discord Uh Dolly to open AI this one's Interesting how to use surf shark VPN Very low let's say you know they have a Really good affiliate program they pay You recurring commissions probably a Good search volume very low competition How to use surf shark VPN so let's say You want to create a YouTube video on How to use surfsharkvpn well you could Actually make this pretty fast and easy With chat GPT so I put in right made 1000 word YouTube script about how to Use surfshark include mentions about Clicking an affiliate link below for a Discount and include all the pros cons And benefits and all that stuff so you Can see it says in this video we're Going to show you how to use it let's Talk about why it's a great choice one Of the main benefits is writing this Itself and you can also see how it wrote First you'll need to sign up for a Subscription by clicking the affiliate Link below the video to get a discount Once you can sign up you can download The app on your device once it's Installed and it really gives you a full YouTube script so it's like okay the Script is done now you definitely want To verify it and validate this data Because we don't want to just rely on a AI tool that has data up to 2021 when it Comes to trusting and providing
Information to an audience right so we Need to verify this as a human being to Make sure it's legit but it's a good Starting point for the video so once you Have that done you found low competition Keywords you can create these which is Faster than being on camera a faceless YouTube channel you just basically need That script a microphone or you can even Use just your iPhone with a phone Recording app and then the content Itself the content itself can just be Pitch Tech videos and b-roll videos so You can find you know Adobe stock and Find different information on that you Know you can even do a screen share I Think that would be best for a VPN type Video not even showing your face Necessarily or if you're not comfortable Just do a little webcam shot of your Face and you can use that if you want Just in the corner very small not not to Worry about it but you can read that Script and as you're doing it you can Show the different features and do a Screen share so you could use a tool That I use something like screenflow That's the one I use I forgot the name For a second the screenflow can capture The microphone it can capture the uh Your actual desktop screen and then you Create these easy b-roll videos with the Script that's already done put your Affiliate links into the YouTube
Description and again you want to do Those how-to informationals how to Information additional videos how to use Different things stay in one Niche for Sure and then also transactional videos Best reviews versus stuff like that an AI video creation is getting better and Better so there's going to be a world in A couple years probably it's already Exists now but tools like Synthesia Where I am not real it's an AI of me and It's an AI of my voice and it's just Reading a script so you could be an Avatar in the future talking with an AI Generated script that you validated Sending and getting traffic via Affiliate links so it's kind of a crazy World but it's a good way to build a Quicker you know affiliate Revenue Machine outside of advertising and PPC And stuff like that moving on number Five on the list is what I like to call Product launch capitalization so this is Again timing as a crucial component of This so this is for when new products Are created and they're created all the Time and this is mostly specific to Software but this means that the new Keyword phrases brand searches are Definitely emerging so a new software Category our new software brand comes on The scene and no one is searching for Them the search volume is zero and then It starts as the brand grows so you want
To be on the early possible product Launch phase if you want to create Content and rank for it on Google in a Blogging format so this is back to Blogging product launch get in before Anyone else so how do we do that well we Can find new product ideas on product Hunt and appsumo so if you look at Appsumo and you go to their software Section there's about 900 products on Here and you can see based on the Popularity so I could do it by Um you know number of customer ratings Something like that to see some of the More popular items but you can see all The names of these different tools so You could write something like hey it Looks like well in videos on here that Was another great tool that you can use For faceless YouTube videos simple Timeline add your script in and let's Say I wanted to create an in-video Review so what I would do then Is you can go to ahrefs type it in see It might not even show that there's any Search volume yet for it but you can Google the term look at who already has Reviews on it see if there's like if It's really competitive and there's big Media sites already then it might not be A good idea but if it's other ones they You know they might it might be super Easy maybe there's not many reviews yet Or only a few people wrote about it
Maybe the affiliate program doesn't even Exist yet for NVIDIA or these other Tools but in the future it could and if You start ranking for that specific term Like in video review or best you know AI Generated video editors or something Like that then you have the ability to Monetize it either via sponsorships or Affiliate programs in the future but you Want to find one that does have an Affiliate program so you find a company You search up sumo and then there's one Like for example hippo video affiliate Program hippo video is on there you find It you look they find they have an Affiliate program 20 recurring Commissions and then you can join the Affiliate program you add hippo video Review and then you know it's product X Reviews or what is hippo video and it's Lots of potential here to being the First one that writes this so again Timing is everything when it comes to PPC blogging creating YouTube content All of that stuff includes uh timing is A crucial component and being early so You want to be able to rank in organic Search you want to be able to start Early write you know validate this data And get in early and build content Specifically around these products and Then this is pretty typical for appsumo In the software Niche and then maybe you Can make recurring commissions every
Single month and get ahead of it before Anyone else wrote this content number Six on the list is influencer marketing So if you don't have an audience it Someone else probably does so can you Leverage them and have them add your Affiliate links in they'd probably ask For an upfront payment and then you can Put your content on their platform it's Instagram YouTube anything else so first You want to find influencers that can Pay you first you can pay for a Sponsored post that could be Instagram Twitter Facebook Tick Tock YouTube it Could be LinkedIn it could be any number Of different platforms based on the type Of affiliate product that you're Recommending so something e-commerce Related like an outdoor product it might Make sense for an Instagram influencer To recommend it or if it's business Software it might make sense on LinkedIn Or you know something more viral could Be Tick Tock so it really depends but You can find different influencers to Um Rank and you know get actually build An audience for you so there's Nano Influencers can I ignore them they don't Have any followers micro influencers so You can try different ones they're more Budget friendly easier to test then There's macro which is probably the Better option because they have over a Hundred thousand followers bigger reach
And you can make more money this way And then if it works out for you if you You know build your own audience through This as well let's say you're uh um an Affiliate that talks about Home Goods Interior Design Furniture all of that And your specific brand almost like a Niche site around that well you can Reach out to a popular uh individual Personal brand on Instagram in that Niche start paying for sponsored content Get them not only to click affiliate Links in the influencers post that are Yours but potentially just get more Follow get a bigger following of your Own so this is kind of a collaborative Effort where you're building an audience Through their audience and then Promoting products so if I was like Wayfarer for example I would want to Reach out to you know not that they need Any help they can reach out to Instagram Influencers ask them to talk about their Products and services and all of that so It's kind of similar building your own Affiliate strategy and if it works you Keep pouring more money in and keep Building your own audience through these Platforms and ultimately you're paying For their audience because you don't Have one yet so this is a little bit Tricky it can work in certain niches Around like Fitness interior design Home Goods things that you want to get high
