I have just spent 2 days doing all sorts. Starting with - my migration from GearHub. it seems like they wont be responding to my polite requests to reimburse the money because their services are inadequate to support my needs and i've not received any credits.
but I DID GO AND MAKE ANOTHER PURCHASE! As stated before I needed to move on with my affiliate stuff and get my own website up and running so I turned to Wix and you know what? They have not disappointed me so far, it takes some time and practice to get used to BUT THEN its pretty simple.
I started with about 17 categories then thought lets be realistic as there is too much products reviews that need to be carried out, dropped 2 4 then 3 and now just one - with the option of 2 more when I have an adequate amount of decent product reviews onboard. I spent 5 hours looking for some AI to do my reviewing and product info collecting and website data entering but nope, all of it costs a daft amount of money like $20-30 for 10-15 reviews (but they are good reviews) however I thought its best to see how its done. Did some research and I love the way BestReviews have layed out their review strip however I could not figure out how AND THEN THE PENNY DROPPED! You store the data in a self created table within Wix, assign table IDs, hide a few, show a few then link them in to the floating thingamabobs, list thingys and BAM! You have products all over your page (which I've just figured out and have 2 products unlinked as of yet but standby! getting there!).
Anyway, big shoutout to Wix for having a userfriendly builder, I come from an Aerospace background with no sense of coding or web stuff so thank you. and a big thank you to BestReviews for having one of the top rated websites which I used for researching a decent layout for how I want my products to be reviewed.
Update on my journey in the Amazon Associate (AA) club. Hoping to grow, only been a few days. Follow for more updates, feel free to join my FB page for more active updates.
So.. My journey so far. UPDATE.
On the response time for Igor from GearHub it states 1-2 Business days, today was the end of day 2 (over a weekend) so I'll wait until tomorrow for any feedback on my issue of gaining 100 credits for 100 AI generated product reviews through the GearHub AI tool onto the GearHub created website. Now- I'm quite deep in this rave and really want my venture to work so I've continued to create reels (using Canva, a free online video creator tool https://www.canva.com/ ) and used quotes from google for travel, then taken free music from https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ and free videos from Pexel. These reels are quick and fast to generate, can easily be searched on youtube, i'd make a video on how to do it but I dont really have much of a fan base yet!
Moving on - I also ran an ad on facebook and as of this moment have 5 FOLLOWERS! so Thank you all 5 who followed and liked my post (apologies to those angered by my ad and put some harsh comments about wasting their time - sorry mate..!) but its growing and I want it to grow naturally, none of this paid services to get more followers etc, if you want your business to flourish there is no easy way about it no short cut, just keep doing these silly blogs, write a few articles and hope some one reads and likes what you are doing in hopes of aspiring others to follow and possibly outgrow!
Back to GearHub - they're doing a terrible job at responding to my questions about changing the website layout from Outdoor & Sports to a choice of my own, i've made quite some edits on the design and ran a few articles of Top 10 Must-Haves (please check them out, I did use ChatGPT to script me the content however when reviewing the items I take the time in finding the best sellers or what I would purchase). ChatGPT has been a great help, I've used it to generate content using SEO Meta Keywords (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) but its progressing.
Moving forward - I think GearHub is amazing however the downside is there is only so much you can change on their generated websites and I'm having no luck with responses so I'm probably going to request a full refund (they promised a 14 day money back) BUT I have not given up, in the mean time - before my travels shortly I will attempt to create a new website where I can control the outlook and put in whatever data I want and how I want (ah yes also-struggling to add pictures to my articles on GearHub).
I've not had any clicks on my AA as of yet but hopeful.
stay tuned for more updates on my journey, hoping to grow within AA and generate income through good products, products that I will buy!
How to get your first listing on Instagram and Facebook using Amazon Associate links for selling items worth buying!
Having relatively little patience on a new venture with my credits taking time to approve (hurry up gearhub) I went back to my Amazon Associates (AA) area and started browsing products that I would buy. I came across an Iwatch portable charger ( https://amzn.to/46wVsI0 ) and some cool looking earbuds ( https://amzn.to/3NTNjG2 ). Then spent 45 minutes on youtube videos and google looking for a link that allows me to advertise the item on my pages and EVERYONES JUST TAKING 20 MINUTES TO EXPLAIN!! I gave up, returned to the AA page and on top of the item just below the address bar was an AA banner.
The AA banner had the link a box with a link to 'Get the Link' ! I proceeded to generate some material, basic content from the market site and populated two posts on both the instagram and facebook page with the associated links! (I forgot to mention the 20 minutes on top to create a facebook page, already have an instagram).
Its as simple as that! Now i need to generate traffic to my pages and wait..
although I still need the GearHub AI generator to actually carry out the reviews of the product so apologies, these items dont have the standard of content I am advertising but standby.. it'll come!
Step 1 - AffiliateMarketing
Why I've taken to reviewing products and how I use amazon to make money through reviewing products.
Most of the material I have on my website - yes, it's automated through AI, why not? AI is leading in producing material and progressing in todays online platform and I'm asked why let a computer put out reviews for products people are buying? thats not how it works.. stay with me. The AI i use picks up real reviews from people across the world who have purchased items through market places such as Amazon. It will sell the product but it wont lie about the feedback recieved. I dont manipulate the software in to hiding bad reviews or selling cheap products, I sit and research the leading products being sold and then carry out a review myself before allowing the AI do its thing. This allows the population of needed information and meta tags to drive traffic in to the website and ultimately allowing people to make their own opinion on the product, if you like it then theres a click to buy, if not- no harm done. Amazon Associates is a briliant platform to allow users like myself to build a website and put on their products by way of review which allows the individual looking at my page to make an informed decision based on the presented facts. It isn't costly, it's pretty easy to set up however some skills are needed to edit the pages to your liking and focus on what you want to sell. stay tuned for updates, read my review on the beginners guide on how to get started. I'm not even selling using this blog! I'm just keeping you updated on my progress. ah yes- i've purchased 100 credits so i'll list items that I would buy because i believe they will sell! or whats the point?
