Affiliate Content

April 24, 2008 by Shawn Collins

Q: What kind of information do I put on a Web site once I decide on a niche?

A: That’s sort of an unusual question. I would think you’d typically pick a niche where you have some background knowledge.

My topline advice would be that you should develop some original content.

Rather than pick a niche, because it is hot and sexy and trendy, pick something you know about, so you can write from your experience and knowledge-base, instead of just trying to manufacture content.

Pick something you know and add your unique take to the coverage of that area.

One method for generating content is to create a site similar to what I do with AskShawnCollins.com.

Anybody can ask a question about affiliate marketing, and I answer it via video and text.

Try that and you will eventually have a regular flow of new questions to help generate your original content.
