Affiliate Blog Post Template (Comparison)
Sample title ideas
• _______ vs. _________

• What’s the Difference Between ________ and _________
• Which is better for ______ (problem): _________ or __________
- This is an outline of how you can structure an affiliate post. You do not need to follow this exactly if you do not wish
- Please replace your text with mine
- Make sure you change the permalink (URL slug) and change all the text before you hit publish
- Remember people scan blog posts they don’t read them word for word. So keep your paragraphs to 2-3 sentences each and use H2 and H3 headers. I have included them throughout this post so all you have to do is switch out my text for yours.
If you are using affiliate links anywhere in your post you need to include a statement at the very beginning saying something like:
This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure page for more info (Make sure you switch out my link for your disclosure page link)
[Replace my text here] Put opening paragraph here (2-3 sentences max) – What is the problem and why is this an issue. Why should your reader care? Make sure your long-tail keyword is in the first sentence if possible.
What qualifies you to compare these products? You can share a quick story about how the product(s)/service(s), etc. you are discussing changed your life or someone else’s life that you worked with for the better.
Below I compare/contrast the two (products/softwares/services etc) in # different categories:
- Category 1 (Example- Ease of Use)
- Category 2 (Example – Cost)
- Category 3
- Category 4
- Category 5
- Category 6
- Category 7
- You can use use text links to link out to the product, images with/without links, or a combination of both.
- Helps if you can show before/after pics
