Reviews & Comparisons
5 promptsIn-Depth Review (2,000+ words)
1/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 2,000-2,500 word product review with the verdict first, who it is and is not for, a 5-7 feature deep dive, real cons, alternatives, a rating, and an affiliate CTA. Add [describe actual use], then publish only the cons you have seen yourself.
<task>Write honest in-depth product review</task> <product>[describe]</product> <my_experience>[describe actual use]</my_experience> <output> - Verdict upfront - Who it's for / not for - Detailed feature deep-dive (5-7) - Pros + cons (real ones) - Alternatives - Final rating + affiliate CTA 2,000-2,500 words.
Pro tip: Claude's long-form coherence shines for 2,000+ word reviews. ChatGPT drifts; Claude holds rigor. For affiliate content trying to beat Google's quality filters, Claude is the better choice.
Head-to-Head Comparison
2/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 1,500-2,500 word [A] vs [B] comparison with a use-case winner table, 5-7 categories, unique strengths, and a per-user pick. Cover [both] products and [describe] the audience, then keep the winner that still matches how you would buy.
<task>Write [A] vs [B] comparison</task> <products>[both]</products> <audience>[describe]</audience> <output> - Verdict table (winner by use case) - 5-7 comparison categories - "Best for X" sections - Unique strengths per product - Per-user recommendation 1,500-2,500 words.
Pro tip: Comparison posts target high-intent buyers. They know what they want — just can't decide. Give them clear recommendation for their situation, not vague "it depends."
Best-Of Roundup
3/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 2,000-3,000 word best-[category] roundup from [5-7 products], with a comparison table, honest ranking logic, and budget, premium, and value picks. Say who this is for in [describe], then rank them the way you would spend your own money.
<task>Write "best [category]" roundup</task> <picks>[5-7 products]</picks> <audience>[describe]</audience> <output> - Intro with what matters - Comparison table - Detailed review per product - Ranking logic - How to choose for your needs - Budget/premium/value picks 2,000-3,000 words. Rank honestly.
Pro tip: Readers smell shilled rankings. Rank honestly — authority compounds, shilling doesn't. Disclose if ranking is personal preference vs objective.
Alternatives Article
4/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 1,500 word [product] alternatives piece, with two paragraphs each, who should switch, where the other option wins, and a CTA. List [5-7] alternatives and [describe] the main product, then keep the swap cases that still feel honest.
<task>Write "[product] alternatives"</task> <main_product>[describe]</main_product> <alternatives>[5-7]</alternatives> <output> Per alternative: 2-para description, comparison to main, who should switch, use cases where it wins, CTA. 1,500 words.
Pro tip: Alternative keywords have high intent + lower competition. "Notion alternatives for teams" ranks easier than "best productivity app" and converts as well.
"Is It Worth It?" Review
5/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 1,200-1,800 word "Is [product] worth it?" review with a short answer first, who should buy or skip, real cost beyond sticker, hidden downsides, and alternatives. [describe] the target buyer and add the [list] of concerns, then publish the skip advice you believe.
<task>Write "Is [product] worth it?"</task> <target_buyer>[describe]</target_buyer> <concerns>[list]</concerns> <output> - Short answer upfront - Who it's worth it for - Who should skip - Real cost breakdown beyond sticker - Hidden downsides - Alternatives if not worth it 1,200-1,800 words.
Pro tip: "Is it worth it" searches = buyers on the fence. Give real answer in first paragraph. Don't bury the verdict for "engagement."
SEO Content
5 promptsHow-To With Placements
6/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 1,500-2,000 word how-to with products woven into the steps, mistakes, troubleshooting, a roundup, and a final CTA. State the topic in [describe] and add the product [list], then cut any placement that still reads like a pitch.
<task>Write how-to article with natural product placements</task> <topic>[describe]</topic> <products>[list]</products> <output> - Intro framing problem - What you need (products woven in) - Step-by-step - Mistakes - Troubleshooting - Roundup section - Final CTA 1,500-2,000 words.
Pro tip: How-to articles outperform pure reviews for affiliate ROI because readers come for instruction, stay for recommendations. Teach first, recommend second.
Buying Guide
7/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 2,000-3,000 word buying guide for [category] with 5-7 factors, budget tiers, mistakes, red flags, a brand overview, FAQ, and ranked picks. Picture the buyer in [describe], then link only the picks you would still recommend tomorrow.
<task>Write comprehensive buying guide for [category]</task> <buyer_profile>[describe]</buyer_profile> <output> 5-7 key factors → budget tiers with picks → common mistakes → red flags → brand overview → FAQ → ranked picks. 2,000-3,000 words.
Pro tip: Buying guides are evergreen affiliate gold. Readers bookmark and return when ready. Cover multiple buyer stages in one piece.
Problem-Solution Article
8/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a problem-solution article for [keyword] that names why it happens, wrong approaches, the right [products + process], implementation, expected results, and a CTA. [describe] the problem, then keep the steps a reader could follow this week.
<task>Write problem-solution article targeting [keyword]</task> <problem>[describe]</problem> <solution>[products + process]</solution> <output> Empathize problem → why it happens → wrong approaches → right solution (products + steps) → implementation → expected results + CTA.
Pro tip: Problem-solution targets high-intent buyers ready for the solution. Article confirms what they already want to believe.
Use Case Article
9/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a use-case article on getting [outcome] with [category], covering the setup, products per component, steps, tips from people who did it, and results. [describe] the scenario, then recommend only the stack you would use in that situation.
<task>Write "[outcome] with [category]" use case</task> <scenario>[describe]</scenario> <output> Challenging scenario → right setup → products per component → step-by-step → tips from people who've done it → results. Expert-style recommendations.
Pro tip: "Best X for Y scenario" converts 3-5× better than generic "best X." Long-tail intent beats broad. Harder to rank, far better conversion.
Listicle (10-15 items)
10/20✨ What it does
Claude writes an affiliate listicle of [10 or 15] items, each with a short intro, features, pros and cons, price, and who it is best for, grouped by use case. Write the reader into [describe], then order the list the way a careful editor would, not A to Z.
<task>Write affiliate listicle</task> <count>[10 or 15]</count> <audience>[describe]</audience> <output> Per item: 2-3 sentence intro, key features, pros/cons, price, best for. Organized by use case, not alphabetically. Curated feel.
Pro tip: Listicles convert when organized strategically — best overall, beginners, advanced. Use case ordering beats numbered ranking.
Email & Funnels
5 promptsAffiliate Email Promo
11/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 300-500 word affiliate email that opens with your problem, the discovery, a specific result, who it is for, and a soft CTA with the link. Write the product and why you love it into [describe], then send the draft after the story still sounds like yours.
<task>Write affiliate product email</task> <product>[describe]</product> <why_i_love>[describe]</why_i_love> <output> Subject → personal problem story → discovery of solution → specific result → who it's for → soft CTA with affiliate link. 300-500 words.
Pro tip: Emails with personal stories convert 2-3× better than product pitches. Frame as discovery — even for new products — not endorsement.
Review Email Series (3)
12/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 3-email review series: day 1 on the problem, day 3 on the reveal, day 5 on a case study and the strongest CTA, 300-500 words each. Identify the product in [describe], then schedule all three and put the hard ask only on day 5.
<task>3-email affiliate review series</task> <product>[describe]</product> <output> Day 1: problem + my old approach. Day 3: reveal + why it works. Day 5: case study + CTA. 300-500 words each, link in all but strongest CTA day 5.
Pro tip: Sequences outperform single emails 5-10×. Readers need time to trust recommendation. Earn click with story; close with proof.
Bonus Stack
13/20✨ What it does
Claude designs a 3-5 item bonus stack for [affiliate product], with positioning, honest value, landing-page copy, auto-delivery, and ethics notes. Put the audience in [describe], then build only bonuses you can actually deliver.
<task>Design bonus stack for [affiliate product]</task> <audience>[describe]</audience> <output> 3-5 bonuses I can create, positioning (completing product), value framing (real not inflated), landing page copy, auto-delivery mechanics, ethics.
Pro tip: Bonuses differentiate you from 100 other affiliates. A $20 template solving their "week 1 problem" beats $1,000 of fluff. Solve "now what" after purchase.
Pre-Launch Email
14/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 300-400 word pre-launch email that names why you are excited, what it is, who it is for, why early access matters, a waitlist CTA, and a teaser for the next note. Name the product in [describe] and set [date], then send it before that launch day.
<task>Pre-launch email for upcoming affiliate product</task> <product>[describe]</product> <launch_date>[date]</launch_date> <output> Subject hinting news → why excited → what it is + who for → why early access matters → CTA to waitlist → next email teaser. 300-400 words.
Pro tip: Pre-launch positions you as the go-to source at launch. By day zero, audience sees you as trusted referrer and clicks through vs searching.
Affiliate Funnel Page
15/20✨ What it does
Claude writes an 800-1,200 word affiliate funnel page with your positioning, a discovery story, 3 benefits, a bonus CTA, FAQ, and a final ask in your voice. Note the product in [describe] and pick [email / SEO / paid] traffic, then publish the page those visitors will actually hit.
<task>Design affiliate funnel page</task> <product>[describe]</product> <traffic>[email / SEO / paid]</traffic> <output> Hero with my positioning → problem → discovery story → 3 benefits → CTA with bonus → FAQ → final CTA. My voice. 800-1,200 words.
Pro tip: Funnel pages that reuse the product's pitch fail. Your edge is YOUR voice, YOUR angle, YOUR bonuses. Without that, racing to the bottom on price.

Strategy
5 promptsNiche Selection
16/20✨ What it does
Claude scores each niche on audience, competition, programs and rates, content effort, fit, and 12-month revenue, then recommends one. Put interests in [list] and [describe] your expertise, then commit to the niche you can still write about in a year.
<task>Help choose affiliate niche</task> <interests>[list]</interests> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <output> For each niche: audience size + growth, competition, program availability + rates, content complexity, fit, 12-month revenue potential. Recommend best.
Pro tip: Best niches have: passionate audience + expensive problems + multiple revenue streams. Find all three, not one.
Affiliate Program Stack
17/20✨ What it does
Claude builds a 10-program affiliate stack for [niche], with commission, cookie, reliability, and restrictions, and keeps any one program under 40 percent. Add [rate, cookie, terms] you need, then sign the programs you can still stand behind if one dies.
<task>Build affiliate program stack for [niche]</task> <requirements>[rate, cookie, terms]</requirements> <output> 10 top programs with commission, cookie, reliability, restrictions. Prioritize diversified portfolio (no single program > 40%).
Pro tip: Amazon dropped commissions 10% → 1% overnight in 2020. Never rely on single program. 5-10 programs minimum.
Disclosure & Compliance
18/20✨ What it does
Claude writes FTC and GDPR disclosure copy for [blog / email / social], with placement, cookie notes, common mistakes, and a minimum versus better version. Paste the lines where the rules say they belong, then keep the stricter wording on every channel.
<task>Set up FTC/GDPR compliant affiliate disclosures</task> <channels>[blog / email / social]</channels> <output> FTC disclosures per channel, placement, GDPR cookie compliance, common mistakes, minimum viable vs best practice.
Pro tip: Non-compliant content gets deindexed or demonetized. FTC requires disclosures "close to the link" — not buried in footer. One-line disclosures protect you.
Traffic Diversification
19/20✨ What it does
Claude builds a traffic plan that names risk in the primary channel, 2-3 secondaries with 90-day plans, KPIs, and when to invest or cut, aiming for no channel over 40 percent. Enter [source + volume], then start the first secondary this month.
<task>Build traffic diversification plan</task> <current>[source + volume]</current> <output> 1. Primary channel risks 2. 2-3 secondary channels to develop 3. 90-day plan each 4. KPIs 5. When to invest more vs cut Goal: no channel > 40%.
Pro tip: Single-channel affiliate businesses die from one external change (Google update, platform ban). 3-4 channels at 20-30% each is safe.
Performance Analysis
20/20✨ What it does
Claude reads [clicks, conversions, revenue per content], names the top 10 percent, shared traits, pages that rank but do not convert, pages that convert but lack traffic, and 5 experiments. Pick the first experiment, then run it on the page that is already close.
<task>Analyze affiliate performance</task> <data>[clicks, conversions, revenue per content]</data> <output> 1. Top 10% by revenue 2. Common traits of winners 3. Content ranking but not converting 4. Content converting but lacking traffic 5. 5 experiments next month </output>
Pro tip: Most affiliate sites: 10% of content drives 80% of revenue. Find those, update, expand. Most creators publish new while ignoring existing winners.
