Affiliate marketing isn’t just about getting the best CPC feeds or generating the best possible leads at the highest commission. What it all boils down to is the simplest, most time-tested factor in all of online moneymaking:
It’s called blogging.
That’s right – blogging! Crazy? Yes.
But, again, with the right instruction, you can blog and make bank. You just have to blog about the right stuff.
Case in point: this is about ‘event blogging’
What is ‘event blogging’? In short, it’s the way to blog and make money. Something that Google Trends helps out with in ways you’re not ready for (mentally, anyway, because the results might blow your mind!).
To go deeper, event blogging is when you position the pieces you write based on a particular upcoming event.
Take New Years Eve, for example.
With Google Trends, typing in something like New Years Eve gets you so much data on what? The best, most searched, topics you should be writing about that relate to the holiday!
So many choices when you think about it:
- You can write about calendars
- Or the most interesting New Years resolutions
- Best New Years gifts to give
A whole slew of possibilities. But you’ll never know what kind of article will get the most traffic without knowing what seems to be the most popular with readers as shown in the screenshot above –
Obviously – it’s “New Years quotes” you should be writing about!
You just nailed the most profitable keyword phrase of the event – for free
With search volumes and CPCs (cost per click) through the roof, search results might see you garnering literally thousands of visitors –
From just one article.
Now imagine that article populated with all sorts of monetization –
- Google Adsense
- Banner advertisements
- Affiliate product links
You name it. It would be a goldmine.
Now all you need is the monetization, right?
