Affiliate Blogging No Longer Viable—Unless You Do This

AI generated content makes writing blog posts a piece of cake, but to succeed in a sea of AI writing you can't just hit generate, copy/paste, and call it a day.

You still need to put in effort to stand out. Search engines know it, and so do your readers. If you don't add real value, nobody's gonna read it.

It's about quantity vs quality.

AI has quantity solved. Like x10 or x100, whatever you want. It's crank out articles.

But it still isn't walking and talking like us in the real world, so the quality factor is open, for now at least. This is where you have your edge.

You can publish what's real, relevant, and unduplicatable.

Here are three powerful ways to become successful.

First, share personal experience.

This is where readers connect with you, the human. Share your test results, your opinions, your wins and fails. Your perspective and experience has real value.

Example: Instead of "Top 10 Running Shoes," write, “I Ran 100 Miles in 3 Budget Running Shoes—Here’s What Held Up.”

This get's you more attention.

Second, have AI be a research wingman rather than a ghostwriter.

Let AI have it's place with keyword clustering, summarizing reviews, and organizing content. Your place is to drive the voice and core insight.

Else, if you just have AI do everything, the content risks sounding like just a another generic AI article.

Third, nail a tight niche with high-intent keywords.

Generic "best of" content isn't going to cut it anymore. Micro-niches still drive traffic and convert. Try "best laptops for college music majors under $1000."

Less volume, more value.

To get started do the following:

Use a keyword research tool to find low-competition, buyer-ready keywords in your niche.

Then, write one article this week that only you could write. Include a personal story, real data, or custom photos/screenshots.
