Copywriting
Making sure your site gets on to the first page of Google is important, but it's not much of a site if there's no content on it. Mastering copywriting is key to making sure your site is full of high quality content that your audience will love, and in our case help them make their buying decision a breeze.

Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA)
If you're able to build up your site to the point where it is well established and raking in thousands of commissions per month, it might be worth developing or sourcing your very own products to sell for your highest performing products. From there, one of the most popular ways to distribute your product is via Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA), where your product is sent straight from your supplier to Amazon's own warehouses, and sold and delivered to customers on Amazon without any effort from you.

Scripts
Here is the very email script we use when reaching out to brands to ask whether they can send out review units of their products:
Dear [company name (or PR representative if you have a direct contact from that brand)],
My name is [your name] from [your site name] and we have been reviewing products in the [your niche] niche for an extended period of time. I've just recently discovered your product and I'm very excited to share it with my audience as I believe it will go a long way in addressing [their specific pain point].
So I can experience the product for myself and write an extensive review of it, I was wondering whether it was possible to have a review unit sent out to me?
Thanks and kind regards,
[your name]
