Reviews & Comparisons
5 promptsIn-Depth Product Review
1/20✨ What it does
Writes a full product review with verdict-first hook, specific feature observations, real cons, and clear CTAs.
Write a full product review for [product]. Category: [describe]. Price: [describe]. My angle: [honest review / pros and cons / buyer's perspective]. Structure: (1) hook paragraph with the verdict upfront, (2) who it's for / not for, (3) unboxing/first impressions, (4) deep-dive on 5-7 features with specific observations, (5) pros, (6) cons (real ones — build trust), (7) who should buy / skip, (8) alternatives, (9) final rating + affiliate CTA. 1,500-2,500 words. Optimized for [target keyword].
Pro tip: Affiliate reviews without real cons feel like ads. Include 2-3 genuine drawbacks — trust skyrockets and conversion follows. Readers can smell puff pieces from a mile away.
Head-to-Head Comparison
2/20✨ What it does
Writes a head-to-head comparison with verdict table, category-by-category analysis, and use-case recommendations.
Write a comparison of [Product A] vs [Product B]. Category: [describe]. Target reader: [describe — "who should buy which"]. Structure: (1) quick verdict table (winner by use case), (2) 5-7 comparison categories (price, features, quality, support, etc.) each with a clear winner, (3) "best for X" sections for different buyer types, (4) where each product excels uniquely, (5) my recommendation per user profile. 1,500-2,500 words. SEO for "[A] vs [B]".
Pro tip: Comparison posts are affiliate gold because readers are at max buying intent. They know what they want — they just can't decide. Give them a clear recommendation for their specific situation, not a vague "it depends."
Top X Best Products Roundup
3/20✨ What it does
Writes a best-of roundup with comparison table, detailed per-product reviews, and ranking logic.
Write a "best [product category]" roundup. Top picks: [list 5-7 products]. Target audience: [describe]. Price range: [describe]. Structure: (1) intro with what matters in this category, (2) quick comparison table (name, price, best for), (3) detailed review per product (pros, cons, best use, who it's for), (4) ranking logic (why #1 is #1), (5) how to choose for your specific needs, (6) budget/premium/value picks. 2,000-3,000 words. Rank by honest evaluation.
Pro tip: "Best X" posts dominate affiliate SEO because the search intent is ready-to-buy. But rank honestly — if readers sense you ranked by commission rate, they bounce. Authority compounds; shilling doesn't.
Alternative / "vs" Content
4/20✨ What it does
Writes alternatives content with specific swap scenarios and use-case wins for each alternative.
Write "[Product] alternatives" content. Main product: [describe]. Why people search alternatives: [price, features missing, availability]. Alternatives to cover: [list 5-7]. For each: (1) 2-paragraph description, (2) how it compares to the main product, (3) who should switch, (4) specific use cases where it wins, (5) affiliate CTA. 1,500 words. Targets "[product] alternatives" keyword cluster.
Pro tip: Alternative keywords have high commercial intent but lower competition. "Notion alternatives for teams" converts as well as "best productivity app" but is 10× easier to rank for. Chase niche intent.
Is [Product] Worth It Review
5/20✨ What it does
Writes "is it worth it" reviews with upfront verdict, use-case segmentation, and honest cost/downside analysis.
Write a "Is [product] worth it?" article. Target buyer: [describe]. Common concerns: [price, effectiveness, specific features]. Structure: (1) short answer upfront (yes/no/depends with 1-sentence reasoning), (2) who it's worth it for, (3) who should skip, (4) real cost breakdown beyond sticker price, (5) hidden downsides most reviews miss, (6) alternatives if it's not worth it for you, (7) verdict + CTA. 1,200-1,800 words.
Pro tip: The "is it worth it" search has sky-high conversion intent — buyers are on the fence. Give them a real answer in the first paragraph. Don't bury the verdict 2,000 words deep to "force engagement."
SEO Content
5 promptsHow-To Article with Product Placements
6/20✨ What it does
Writes a how-to article with natural product placements and a dedicated roundup section, 1,500-2,000 words.
Write a how-to article that naturally features affiliate products. Topic: [describe]. Target keyword: [specify]. Products to feature: [list]. Structure: (1) intro framing the problem, (2) what you need (product placements woven in), (3) step-by-step guide, (4) common mistakes, (5) troubleshooting, (6) product roundup section, (7) final CTA. Products feel like "the obvious tool for the job," not forced. 1,500-2,000 words.
Pro tip: Affiliate how-to articles convert 5-10× better than pure reviews because readers come for the instruction and stay for the tool recommendations. Teach first, recommend second.
Buying Guide
7/20✨ What it does
Writes a detailed buying guide with factor breakdowns, budget tiers, brand overview, and ranked picks.
Write a comprehensive buying guide for [product category]. Buyer profile: [describe — beginner, experienced, budget, premium]. Structure: (1) what matters most when buying (5-7 factors), (2) budget tiers with specific product picks per tier, (3) common buying mistakes, (4) red flags to avoid, (5) brand overview (who makes what), (6) FAQ, (7) my top picks for different buyer types. 2,000-3,000 words. Include affiliate links naturally.
Pro tip: Buying guides outperform reviews on affiliate ROI because they cover buyers at an earlier stage AND an at-decision stage. Readers bookmark them, return, and click through when ready. Evergreen affiliate content.
Problem-Solution Article
8/20✨ What it does
Writes problem-solution articles with empathetic intro, wrong approaches, right solution, and natural product integration.
Write a problem-solution article targeting "[keyword]". The problem: [describe]. The solution: [products + process]. Structure: (1) acknowledge the problem with empathy, (2) why it happens, (3) common wrong approaches, (4) the right solution (products + steps), (5) implementation guide, (6) expected results and timeline, (7) next steps + CTA. Products positioned as tools that make the solution possible, not the solution itself.
Pro tip: Problem-solution content targets high-intent "how to fix X" searches. These readers are ready to buy the solution. The article just confirms what they already want to believe.
Use Case / Application Article
9/20✨ What it does
Writes use-case articles with specific scenarios and expert-style product recommendations per setup component.
Write a use-case article: "How to [achieve outcome] with [product category]". Target reader: [describe]. Use case: [specific scenario]. Structure: (1) the scenario and why it's challenging, (2) what the right setup looks like, (3) specific product recommendations for each piece, (4) step-by-step walkthrough, (5) tips from people who've done it, (6) troubleshooting, (7) results. Each product recommendation feels like an expert's tool choice.
Pro tip: Use-case articles outrank generic "best X" articles for long-tail searches. "Best podcasting mic for van life" is harder to rank but converts at 3-5× the rate of "best podcasting mic."
Listicle for Affiliates
10/20✨ What it does
Writes affiliate listicles with curated ordering (by use case), pros/cons, and per-item "best for" positioning.
Write a listicle: "[X] best [tools/products/apps] for [audience]". Count: [10 or 15]. Audience: [describe]. Price mix: [free, paid, premium]. For each item: (1) 2-3 sentence intro, (2) key features, (3) pros/cons, (4) price, (5) best for (specific use case), (6) affiliate link placement. Organize by use case, not alphabetically. Feel curated, not generated. 2,000-2,500 words.
Pro tip: Listicles feel lazy but convert well because readers scan. Make them work hard by organizing the list strategically — best overall, best for beginners, best for advanced, etc. Use case ordering beats numbered ranking.
Email & Funnels
5 promptsAffiliate Email Promotion
11/20✨ What it does
Writes an affiliate promo email with story structure, personal results, and soft affiliate CTA.
Write a promotional email for an affiliate product. Product: [describe]. Why I love it: [describe]. Offer: [specific deal or evergreen]. Structure: (1) subject + preview that hints at value, (2) personal story about the problem, (3) discovery of the solution, (4) what changed (specific result), (5) who it's for, (6) soft CTA with affiliate link. 300-500 words. No "SPECIAL OFFER!!" energy.
Pro tip: Affiliate emails with personal stories convert 2-3× better than "here's a cool product." Share your actual experience — even if the product is obviously new to you, frame it as discovery, not endorsement.
Review Email Series
12/20✨ What it does
Writes a 3-email affiliate review series building from problem to case study with progressive CTA strength.
Write a 3-email review sequence for an affiliate product. Send timing: days 1, 3, 5. Email 1: build up — the problem and my old approach. Email 2: the reveal — the product I found and why it works. Email 3: case study + CTA with affiliate link and any bonus. Each: 300-500 words, one clear purpose, link in every email but CTA strongest in email 3.
Pro tip: Sequence-based affiliate promotions outperform single emails 5-10×. Readers need time to trust the recommendation. Earn the click with story first, then close with proof.
Bonus Stack Offer
13/20✨ What it does
Creates a bonus stack for affiliate offers with deliverables, positioning, and auto-delivery mechanics.
Create a bonus stack to pair with [affiliate product]. My audience: [describe]. Offer structure: (1) list 3-5 bonuses I can create or give (templates, guides, consultations), (2) positioning — how the bonuses complete the product, (3) total "value" framing (real, not inflated), (4) landing page copy explaining the stack, (5) how to deliver bonuses (auto-delivered after affiliate purchase via tracking link), (6) ethical boundaries.
Pro tip: Bonus stacks differentiate you from 100 other affiliates pushing the same product. A $20 template that solves their first-week problem is more valuable than $1,000 of fluff. Make bonuses solve the "now what" after purchase.
Pre-Launch Waitlist Email
14/20✨ What it does
Writes a pre-launch email creating waitlist urgency for an upcoming affiliate product with specific benefits.
Write a pre-launch email for an upcoming affiliate product (I have early access / affiliate deal). Product: [describe]. Launch date: [specify]. Audience: [describe]. Structure: (1) subject that hints at the news, (2) context — why I'm excited, (3) what it is and who it's for, (4) why early access matters (best pricing, bonus), (5) CTA to join waitlist or prepare, (6) what's next (watch for next email with link). 300-400 words.
Pro tip: Pre-launch affiliate content positions you as the go-to source when the product launches. You're not selling yet — you're priming. By launch day, your audience sees you as the trusted referrer and clicks through instead of searching.
Funnel Page for Affiliate Offer
15/20✨ What it does
Designs an affiliate funnel page with personal positioning, discovery story, and bonus-stacked CTA.
Design a funnel page for an affiliate offer. Product: [describe]. My traffic source: [email, SEO, paid]. Structure: (1) hero section with my personal positioning, (2) the problem my audience faces, (3) how I discovered the product and what it did for me, (4) 3 key benefits for the reader, (5) clear affiliate CTA with any bonus, (6) FAQ, (7) final CTA. Use my voice, not the product's pitch. 800-1,200 words.
Pro tip: Affiliate funnel pages that reuse the product's pitch fail. Buyers can get that anywhere. Your edge is YOUR voice, YOUR angle, YOUR bonuses. Without that, you're competing on price in a race to the bottom.

Strategy & Compliance
5 promptsNiche Selection Analysis
16/20✨ What it does
Analyzes affiliate niche options by audience, competition, commission rates, and personal fit with revenue projection.
Help me choose an affiliate niche. My interests: [list]. My expertise: [describe]. Commercial potential requirements: [e.g., $5k/month by month 12]. For each potential niche: (1) audience size + growth trend, (2) competition analysis, (3) affiliate program availability + commission rates, (4) content complexity, (5) my personal fit (passion + expertise), (6) 12-month revenue potential. Recommend the best niche and why.
Pro tip: The best affiliate niches have three qualities: passionate audience, expensive problems, and multiple revenue streams. "Photography gear" beats "bedsheets" because the first is all three; the second is only one.
Affiliate Program Stack
17/20✨ What it does
Researches and prioritizes affiliate programs with commission, cookie, and reliability analysis for diversified income.
Build my affiliate program stack for [niche]. Requirements: [commission rate, cookie duration, payout terms]. Research: (1) top 10 affiliate programs in my niche (direct + networks like Impact, ShareASale, CJ), (2) commission rate and payout model per program, (3) cookie duration, (4) known reliability (fast payouts, no shaving), (5) any restrictions (no PPC on brand terms), (6) which to prioritize. Build a diversified income plan.
Pro tip: Never rely on a single affiliate program. Amazon dropped commissions from 10% to 1% overnight in 2020 — creators whose whole income relied on Amazon took a huge hit. Diversify across 5-10 programs minimum.
Disclosure & Compliance
18/20✨ What it does
Sets up FTC, GDPR, and platform-specific compliance for affiliate disclosures across blog, email, and social.
Review my affiliate disclosure and compliance setup. My niche: [describe]. Channels: [blog, email, social]. Help me: (1) write FTC-compliant disclosures for each channel, (2) where to place them (blog posts, emails, social captions), (3) GDPR/cookie compliance for affiliate tracking, (4) common compliance mistakes in my niche, (5) what's the minimum viable compliance vs best practice, (6) how to stay compliant as regulations evolve.
Pro tip: Non-compliant affiliate content gets deindexed, demonetized, or legally challenged. FTC requires disclosures "close to the link" — not buried in a footer. One-line disclosures at the top of content protect you and build trust.
Traffic Diversification Plan
19/20✨ What it does
Builds a traffic diversification plan across multiple channels with 90-day per-channel plans and revenue concentration limits.
Build a traffic diversification plan for my affiliate business. Current traffic: [source + volume]. Goal: reduce dependency + grow. Deliver: (1) primary channel analysis (what's working, risks), (2) 2-3 secondary channels to develop (SEO + YouTube + email + Pinterest + Reddit, etc.), (3) 90-day plan for each secondary channel, (4) KPIs to track per channel, (5) when to invest more vs cut losses. Goal: no channel > 40% of revenue.
Pro tip: Google update, Facebook ban, email provider issue — all single-channel affiliate businesses die from one external change. 3-4 channels generating 20-30% each is the safe spot. Growth over concentration.
Performance Analysis
20/20✨ What it does
Analyzes affiliate performance to identify winners, fix ranking/conversion gaps, and prioritize program focus.
Analyze my affiliate performance. Data: [paste clicks, conversions, revenue per campaign/content piece]. Identify: (1) top 10% of content by revenue, (2) common traits of winners (format, topic, keyword intent), (3) content that ranks but doesn't convert — what's wrong, (4) content that converts but lacks traffic — how to amplify, (5) 5 specific experiments to run next month, (6) which affiliate programs to double down on vs cut.
Pro tip: Most affiliate sites have 10% of content driving 80% of revenue. Find those winners, update and expand them, and build more like them. Most creators keep publishing new content while ignoring the stuff already working.
