  1. 1

    Pick your lane

    45 min

    Commit to one niche you can talk about for 90 days.

    • Write down 3 topics you already spend time on.
    • Score each 1–10 on: interest, buying audience, product supply.
    • Pick the winner. Register a handle if you don't have one.

    Use the AI Recommender to see which tools fit your niche best.

  2. 2

    Set up affiliate accounts

    60 min

    Get approved for 2–3 programs you actually believe in.

    • Sign up for a network (e.g. Impact, ShareASale, PartnerStack).
    • Apply to 3 brand programs relevant to your niche.
    • Generate your first tracked links and save them in a doc.

    Add your links to AffiliateFlows so click and sales tracking is unified.

  3. 3

    Publish your first review

    90 min

    One honest, specific review of a product you've used.

    • Pick ONE product. Write 5 bullet points: who it's for, what it does, what it doesn't do, cost, alternative.
    • Record a 45–90 second short-form video walking through those bullets.
    • Post with your affiliate link in the caption / bio.

    Use AI voice + b-roll tools if you don't want to be on camera.

  4. 4

    Comparison content

    75 min

    Position yourself as a decision-maker, not a salesperson.

    • Pick 2 competing tools in your niche.
    • Publish a side-by-side: price, best feature, biggest weakness, who each is for.
    • Link BOTH — you win either way.

    Comparisons convert 2–3x higher than single-product reviews.

  5. 5

    Answer a real question

    60 min

    Search demand converts. Ride it.

    • Find one question people ask in your niche (Reddit, TikTok comments, YouTube search suggest).
    • Publish a short-form answer video (under 60s). Recommend a product only if it fits.
    • Reply to the original comment / thread with a link to your video.

    This is where beginners get their first surprise sale.

  6. 6

    Batch + schedule

    3 hours

    Stop being the bottleneck.

    • Draft 5 more short scripts using an AI writing tool.
    • Batch-record everything in one sitting.
    • Schedule posts across the week using a scheduler.

    Consistency beats virality for affiliate income.

  7. 7

    Read the numbers, double down

    45 min

    Know what worked. Do more of it.

    • Check which post got the most link clicks (not just views).
    • Publish a follow-up on the winning topic.
    • Set your Week-2 goal: 7 more posts, 1 new product tested.

    The AffiliateFlows dashboard shows click-through and revenue by post.
