Most videos that teach you about content tell you to post a few articles or videos, slap on some links, and hope for traffic and income. Well, in 2026, the real winners online are building these

editorialized content sites. Brands that

blend SEO, editorial, and commerce to dominate a niche, attract readers, and monetize through ads, affiliate, and sponsorships. And I'll show you some

sponsorships. And I'll show you some examples of these sites and what to do.

And in this video, I'm going to walk you through the five key parts of building a real content business online. one that

starts with a small niche strategy that scales into a real brand, even if you're just starting out. Now, before we dive in, if you want my free AI launch kit, it's a free training where I help you pick your niche and your entire content plan once and for all. The link is in

the description in the pinned comment below. So, make sure to click that, sign

below. So, make sure to click that, sign up, and let's get into it. So, the first decision when it comes to creating content is one, well, we want to make money with this. So, we're going to monetize through affiliate marketing, ads, sponsors, and eventually our own

product down the line. We won't have to worry about that right now. The first

selection is what niche do I select, right? Could be fashion, could be

right? Could be fashion, could be fitness, could be underwater basket weaving, could be sports, food, anything, right? You name it. So, we

anything, right? You name it. So, we

have to kind of know what niche to pick to know how it's monetized. We have to know what exists. It's a there's a big conundrum here when we're selecting a niche. The good news is you don't have

niche. The good news is you don't have to choose it perfectly at the beginning.

We can just choose a broad niche that we're going to create content on because we're building a following that'll be interested in a lot of subniches. Let me

just show you a couple examples of mature editorialized sites to see where we want to take this in 5 years. So

thinking long term, what is my brand going to be if I'm going to make a bunch of money online? What is it going to be?

Not day one, but maybe year 2, year three. So let's show just some different

three. So let's show just some different examples. So here's one called Birdie.

examples. So here's one called Birdie.

Birdie is a fashion blog, and this one has lots of different content among different niches of skin, makeup, hair, nail, style. So, it's a woman focused

nail, style. So, it's a woman focused fashion blog. We also have something

fashion blog. We also have something called the Spruce Pets. So, it's a pet blog and they have lots of categories.

Dogs, cats, birds, small pets, aquariums, fish, reptiles, you know, frogs and toads, beautiful geckos, pets, snakes, even horses. All kinds of different categories. And we have

different categories. And we have another one. This is more of a manly

another one. This is more of a manly site. It's more technology gearbased.

site. It's more technology gearbased.

Manofmeny.com. There's tech, style, auto, culture, entertainment. So, you

almost view this. They kind of look like magazines, right? There's lots of

magazines, right? There's lots of different articles. You'll see banner

different articles. You'll see banner ads on them and lots of different content. So, we'll break down the

content. So, we'll break down the content strategy, the simple content strategy you can use with AI, too, if you want to to really speed things up to create a brand like this. Let's dive in a little bit and make this simple.

Really, when we look at this, there's it looks like a magazine. Yes. But there's

actually a a strategy behind this. So,

if I just look at this, I see 18 January January nail art ideas. So, nail ideas, right? Another one, gel nail ideas,

right? Another one, gel nail ideas, coffin shaped, French nail ideas.

Interesting. There's a keyword of nail ideas. And then there's almost an

ideas. And then there's almost an infinite number of variations that you could create articles on. Summer,

January February March April May June July winter summer spring red green, yellow, blue. You could have a hundred articles just about nail ideas.

Now, ideas is a foundation of content.

Ideas is the top of funnel. I'm thinking

of random things. As I'm typing into Google, when I'm just learning about the niche, I could be searching for tattoo ideas, right? Looking up different ones.

ideas, right? Looking up different ones.

That could be Viking tattoos. It could

be, you know, meaningful tattoos.

There's a million different combinations. It could be living room

combinations. It could be living room ideas, furniture ideas, all kinds of different things where I'm just looking online for some ideas, some trends, some different things. The word ideas isn't

different things. The word ideas isn't always in it, but it's a very common top offunnel search term that gets a lot of traffic. So, we'll see that. So any

traffic. So, we'll see that. So any

meaningful content strategy online for articles in 2026 needs to include an infinite keyword loop where it's one term with a almost infinite number of

variations. So for example, living room

variations. So for example, living room ideas, you have 386 right here in this key search tool. You have green, you could have modern, farmhouse, rustic,

blinds, curtains, like an unlimited number of keywords. Now keywords bring traffic. Traffic bring mainly revenue

traffic. Traffic bring mainly revenue through ads. So that's why you'll see in

through ads. So that's why you'll see in an article like this, they're very simple to create. There's literally like a sentence or two per one and then you're going to see ads in here. Ideas

poster, no one's going to buy anything through affiliate links about an idea, but they are going to get a lot of traffic and ads. So ideas, trends, these high top ofunnel search volume things

brands are doing. They're editorializing

them and they're monetizing with ads because a ton of people search for them.

No one's going to take action on it, but it's a good thing to have as one part of your content strategy. And as you're looking through different sites, you start to notice these trends of like infinite keyword loops for content. Like

look at this. So I'm on spruce pets and I just I'm not can dogs eat pork? Can

dogs eat white pumpkin? Can dogs eat salmon? Can they eat celery? Right? Can

salmon? Can they eat celery? Right? Can

they eat honey? Can they eat nectarines?

So name a fruit and all of a sudden it's going to be covered, right? Name any

food in the world and they're going to create an article on it. So this is an infinite keyword loop that's simple. Can

dogs eat honey? that has some information on it and it's really infinite keyword loops you'll find everywhere across all sites and it's something that is always good to have in a blog content find I don't recommend it

for YouTube so people would be bored out of their minds but if you have a blog you have a website the content strategy should include a single infinite keyword loop I did this with YouTube video ideas like coup's YouTube video ideas YouTube

video ideas travel YouTube video ideas I did with Instagram captions December January February so you have to have that in your game plan so as we discussed that can be top of funnel. I'm

looking for ideas. I just want some general information. That's most, if you

general information. That's most, if you think about the internet, that's most people searching for stuff. They just

want general information. They're not

ready to buy anything. That can be 90% of people. They're just searching for

of people. They're just searching for ideas, things, questions they have, and information. So, those are informational

information. So, those are informational articles in your niche. The second one is middle of funnel. So, they're a little they understand the niche a little bit more and they're looking for products. So, those are where your

products. So, those are where your affiliate articles come in very simply.

And those include the word best because best signifies buyer intent. So, for

example, I did a site search with site colon the sprucepetss.com. I put in best. You see, some of these are

best. You see, some of these are informational. Best dog Instagram

informational. Best dog Instagram Instagrams to follow. Best birds for apartment living. What about this one on

apartment living. What about this one on the eight best cat caves of 2025? I

didn't know that was a word. It sounds

pretty cool. It's like a batcave, but it's a cat cave. And look at this furry creature coming out of this beautiful fuzzy egg. I love it so much. All right,

fuzzy egg. I love it so much. All right,

look at this. So, this is a affiliate article that makes money, not through ads. Well, there are still ads because

ads. Well, there are still ads because again with the content site, monetization strategies overlap, but it's mainly an affiliate play. So, for

example, top pick is and they have you can click right on it. You don't even have to go down the page. These are

Amazon affiliate links. So, best

overall, best tent, best best. And then

these are simple articles that are copy paste templated. So you have the section

paste templated. So you have the section here with the title of it, an image, the links, what you like and don't like, some paragraphs about it, and then the next one. So you have every single one

next one. So you have every single one is exactly the same with the title, the image, all of that, and the links. So

these are affiliate links. So again,

someone's searching for living room ideas and they're like, I want a couch.

I want a best sectional sofa. Then I'm

ready to buy it. Then I'm going to purchase through affiliate links. So we

want to cover every stage of the marketing funnel with our content strategy. So that's informational

strategy. So that's informational content and transactional affiliate content. Top of funnel and then

content. Top of funnel and then mid/bottom of funnel covering our bases in our niche. It's very simple. When

you're creating a content site in a niche, you're basically doing two things. You're giving people information

things. You're giving people information and then you're giving them products they need. So, for example, if you're

they need. So, for example, if you're golfing, you want to talk about how to swing, how to chip, how to putt, how to do everything. Best golf courses, all

do everything. Best golf courses, all those different things, strategies, and then the best irons, best drivers, best putters, best rangefinders, all of that.

Same thing about power tools. If you

want to build a shed, you need to have the best framing nailer, whatever the tool is that you teach them that they need, and then also how to do it. So, as

a content creator, you're ultimately a teacher really. you're giving people the

teacher really. you're giving people the information that they want and then the products they need to do it in their niche. So overall, we look at these

niche. So overall, we look at these different sites, we see, okay, there's lots of categories here, dogs, cats, birds, we're talking aboutformational and transactional content, all of these different things. Well, what do we

different things. Well, what do we actually do? It doesn't look like these

actually do? It doesn't look like these sites are doing that to the to the naked eye. Most people wouldn't be able to

eye. Most people wouldn't be able to find that. That's because there's a

find that. That's because there's a third layer, and that's kind of the editorial layer. So, we could say 80% 70

editorial layer. So, we could say 80% 70 to 80% of your article should be informational that people search for in your niche. 10 to 20% can be affiliate,

your niche. 10 to 20% can be affiliate, whatever that ends up being. And then we also want to have some just 10% that's just editorial. So thinking if you own a

just editorial. So thinking if you own a website and you own a future brand, think like an editor-inchief. Like think

like you're the head of a magazine.

You're like, would this make sense?

Would it make sense to have 20 nail ideas, nail ideas in a row followed by 10 product reviews? No, it wouldn't. It

wouldn't look like a magazine. It would

look like an affiliate site. So we got to kind of elevate oursel above that by thinking in a third layer and saying all right based on this niche, based on the reason that we exist and our main message, what other articles are we

going to create? So you just kind of think of it not even through keyword research at all. So don't even do keyword research for this 10%. Just come

up with interesting editorialized content. So for example, there's a

content. So for example, there's a celebrity interview here. That's not

keyword research. that's not necessarily good for affiliate income or even ad revenue, but it adds brand recognition, right? So, these are things that you add

right? So, these are things that you add on. The third layer is just kind of

on. The third layer is just kind of editorializing the whole thing. So, you

could also use this to test like social first topics that might get shared on Pinterest or Reddit or Tik Tok or other things. You don't expect them to rank at

things. You don't expect them to rank at all. You publish these to make your site

all. You publish these to make your site feel current and human, like there's a real person behind it and it's a real thing that I actually want to read. I

want to go back to it and read it again and again. So, if you're just starting a

and again. So, if you're just starting a brand new site, I would say do 80% information like foundational SEO content. 15 to 20 articles in the first

content. 15 to 20 articles in the first month or two just about information, highest search volume, low competition keywords, sprinkling in some affiliate ones, and a light mix of editorial and trending posts to start building the

tone of your website. So, we covered a little bit about the niche, a little bit about the content plan. Let's get get to part three, and that's monetization.

Kind of knowing how this works at the beginning. So, the main monetization

beginning. So, the main monetization paths here are ads, affiliate, and sponsorships. So, the first one we're

sponsorships. So, the first one we're going to actually focus on is affiliate because ads take a lot of traffic. You

need a lot of traffic, say 10,000 visits a month to start with ads. You can join an ad network like Mediavine. Here's my

Mediavine dashboard showing how much money I've made with them over the last few years, about 5 years. So, 277,000

from them. Mainly just contentbased revenue at about a $20 RPM. So, for

every thousand visitors, I make about 20 bucks. There's sticky sidebar ads.

bucks. There's sticky sidebar ads.

sidebar ads, mainly incontent ads. So,

there's just banner ads being added every three to five paragraphs throughout the content as people read it. Simple plugin. All you do is add it

it. Simple plugin. All you do is add it into your site, choose the settings within Mediavine to say, "This is how many ads I want and put a code on your site and then it runs." So, it's actually the simplest form of

monetization. Getting the traffic to it

monetization. Getting the traffic to it is the harder part. So, ads is the first I call ads like the last resort of content monetization, just like YouTube ad revenue. like it's the last thing

ad revenue. like it's the last thing that you get, but you need a lot of views and a lot of traffic to make it actually work. That's why, you know, if

actually work. That's why, you know, if you think about a food recipe blog, someone searching for a chicken soup recipe, they're not going to buy a can of chicken soup after reading it.

They're just going to leave. Much like

98 to 99% of readers are just going to read and leave. So, that's the you're kind of filling in the leaky bucket by actually making some money from those people and not just if they don't buy

affiliate links, then it's over, right?

At least you're monetizing with that layer of the 98% of people that are just going to read, leave, and never maybe never come back. That will at least you'll get paid for every time they see and click on these banner ads. So ads

are the simplest way to monetize because once you get the traffic, you just add a plugin and it's running and there's really nothing to do. Affiliate

marketing is more lucrative in that you can make more money per visitor. You

just need more direct searches for specific products because affiliate is driven through people actively searching for products. Best makeup remover, best

for products. Best makeup remover, best laptops under $1,000, things like that.

That's still the primary driver of affiliate revenue on Google and on YouTube. So, that's another content

YouTube. So, that's another content strategy. Now, for that, you have to

strategy. Now, for that, you have to actually join the affiliate programs, obviously. Add your affiliate links in.

obviously. Add your affiliate links in.

For example, on the Birdie site, they have one that's the best makeup products of 2025. They have a ton here. And then

of 2025. They have a ton here. And then

it's just a very clean, simple design.

You also notice a lot of this is based on a clean layout. So you'll see that in all of these different sites how narrow the text actually is. I feel like the human eye is only meant to read about

the width of a Kindle. If you get wider than that, people start to get overwhelmed and they will leave the page. So you'll see pretty narrow

page. So you'll see pretty narrow content. They have this kind of Times

content. They have this kind of Times New Romany looking magazine type of font which is nice. And then you'll see like how many words are on the page at once.

You know, it's like there's a title, there's the product, there's an image, there's the affiliate link, and then there's a paragraph. All right? So,

people are skimming content online like this, and it's a really clean design.

It's very narrow in the middle. The

images are a little bit wider, but these are just all affiliate links, very simple. If people want the best makeup

simple. If people want the best makeup products, they can go to this article, they can find it, and then it's easy to access and click around, find the information, and do this. Now, these are each individual affiliate links that

were added into this article. Some of

them are not affiliate links yet. You'll

see this one is not because again it takes time to add affiliate links in.

You create an article. You can even just link to the product without an affiliate link and then join the affiliate program over time and swap the links out because affiliate it's time inensive. You fill

out a form. You join the program. You

get your link. You add it into your website. You add it in certain places.

website. You add it in certain places.

You can use thirsty affiliates plugin so that you can organize it all in one place. But ultimately it takes more time

place. But ultimately it takes more time than ads. ad, you just sign up for an ad

than ads. ad, you just sign up for an ad network and it's running. Affiliate

links, you need to add them individually. You need to join lots of

individually. You need to join lots of different affiliate programs to make it work. But really, when you think about

work. But really, when you think about it, I would just try to join like three to five main programs within your niche and just get your feet wet a little bit in trying to do it. So, for example, this is my partner stack dashboard. You

can see the amount of money I've made here through different companies.

Thinkific, $1.19 million in paid commissions, 200,000 from Learn Worlds, Livestorm Surfer, Unbounds Reream. This

is just one affiliate network. So you

can discover uh you know discover partnerships. You can click on that. You

partnerships. You can click on that. You

can find new companies. This is a software specific affiliate network.

There's other ones out there like Impact and CJ and Sherale that have a all kinds of different niches in there, but you can find it. You can see what the commission structure is. Now for

physical products, you want at least a 10% commission. You don't want to make

10% commission. You don't want to make 2%. A lot of like technology like Best

2%. A lot of like technology like Best Buy and TVs and stuff like that, they'll give you a 2% commission. So you have to sell a, you know, think of a $1,000 TV.

TVs are getting kind of cheap now.

$1,000, you get a 2% commission. So, you

make $20. Is that right? I don't know the

$20. Is that right? I don't know the math on that. $20 per TV. Not a lot, right? So, with physical products, you

right? So, with physical products, you need a volume of articles, especially if you're joining the Amazon affiliate network, Amazon Associates, like you need a lot, 50, 100 affiliate articles,

all just getting traffic over time, getting people to click. It's a volume game. Versus software, it's more

game. Versus software, it's more competitive. I don't really recommend it

competitive. I don't really recommend it for a content site. I recommend it more for YouTube, but that is recurring. So,

you could get 50% 30 to 50% recurring commission every month someone signs up.

Or there's high ticket. You go into finance and you could be talking about retirement plans and make an 8 to 10% commission on a $500,000 retirement plan. I've done that before. So, there's

plan. I've done that before. So, there's

lots of different options when it comes to affiliate marketing. I think this all goes back to niche selection. It comes

down to thinking about yourself. If your

face is on a website, if your face is on a YouTube channel, what are you talking about? And usually that comes down to

about? And usually that comes down to personal experience, like hobbies, things that you enjoy doing, and then professional experience, like your career. And then it's like, which one

career. And then it's like, which one makes the most sense for a content site?

Because I tell people now, if you're trying to get into medical or finance or software, don't do a website. It's too

hard. Do a YouTube channel instead.

That's less saturated. If you're going into a hobby niche, definitely still do a website cuz that can still work. and

then eventually we can expand out to be multiplatform on YouTube or Pinterest or things like that. So, you have to know your pain tolerance a little bit. You

have to think sometimes you'll have, you know, I had a student once that said, "I really love tennis, but I also love sales. I'm in sales. I've been doing it

sales. I'm in sales. I've been doing it for 20 years." I You have to think and say to yourself, well, in this niche selection, if you're going to talk about something for 5 years, what do you want to be known for? Who what can you teach

the best? And then knowing about this

the best? And then knowing about this monetization stuff, and we haven't even gotten into selling your own product yet, but knowing a little bit about how this works will kind of help you guide

you in this decision because yes, we want to make money online. We want to make a certain amount, but we have to know how long is it going to take. And

every niche is a little bit different, right? For food, it could take a lot

right? For food, it could take a lot longer than finance, but it might be easier in some ways. So, it's all kind of one-on-one personalized, which is why I recommend you click the link in the description below. I'll guide you

description below. I'll guide you through the process of selecting your niche that way. All right. And then

after ads and affiliate, there's also sponsored content. So brands will pay

sponsored content. So brands will pay for you to write articles, to add them to articles, and they'll pay, you know, thousands per post, hundreds per post, depending on how much traffic you have.

This you need more traffic for. You

need, this is why YouTube sponsors don't come right away when you start a channel. And certainly content sites

channel. And certainly content sites aren't going to get sponsors out of the gate. You need 50,000 visitors a month

gate. You need 50,000 visitors a month at least probably to start getting sponsors. Um, you need a clear audience.

sponsors. Um, you need a clear audience.

You need good design. You need clean editorial content that builds trust. But

you can, we have a lot of students doing this. You you have a simple sponsored

this. You you have a simple sponsored content package where it's like we'll create create an article for you. We'll

add you to our article on the best XYZ thing and we'll also send an email or do a video or all these different things.

So you can charge, you know, $500, $1,500, $2,000 for something like that.

And really, with a content site, monetization is best when it's layered.

So, for example, you have um ads, affiliate and sponsors, all working at the same time, not interfering with each other, because they really don't interfere with each other. You can have banner ads and affiliate links and a

sponsored link all in the same article.

I've done it before. Okay, so that's all fine and good, but let's get to the next part, and that's scaling this with AI and actually creating a content plan that's going to help us. Because it

sounds overwhelming. It's like, well, yeah, this site's been around forever.

It's got articles on every category. And

here's the truth. The wider you go in your content, so if you're talking about dogs and cats and birds and small pets, you have to go deep on topical authority in each one. So to compete with the

category of dogs, you need a lot of articles about dogs. Topical authority

is a key to ranking. Same thing with cats and birds. So you'll see these are what I would consider media sites. D are

70 to 85 plus media sites that have eventually got there after working on this site for 5 to 10 plus years. So how

do we as individuals starting from zero do this? Well, first we have to make the

do this? Well, first we have to make the first decision. Do I want to write

first decision. Do I want to write content or do I shoot videos? If you

want to shoot videos, you can make money a lot faster by teaching something right into a course, right into a community and doing it that way. If you do want to create a content site like this, and you

have to know, all right, I'm gonna get into a single niche. It's going to take a while. I'm gonna create a content

a while. I'm gonna create a content strategy, scale this thing with AI, and I'll eventually get here, but it's going to take me years to get to this point.

And you have to start with one category.

So, one area. So, maybe you start with dogs only, and you run that for 6 months, and you're known as that, and you build topical authority in that one area, and you start getting traffic

before even thinking about moving to the next one. So you have to go deep before

next one. So you have to go deep before you go wide ultimately. But we don't name yourself. This is key. You just

name yourself. This is key. You just

don't want to name your domain name like the dog breedexpert.com because then you're stuck in one subcategory. That's

the main thing. You want to think of yourself a little bit bigger than that.

Which is why I like personal branding.

Just using your name for the website or creating something broader that could cover multiple subniches. There's a

reason you don't want to call yourself the catcatalth.com or dognutrition.com because then you're kind of stuck there.

and in three years when you actually want to expand out to other content, you might be a little bit stuck with the name. Not the end of the world, just

name. Not the end of the world, just something to keep in mind. So, I have a niche tool here you can get when you click the link in the description below.

I'm going to show you this. I'm going to use Claw this time because I actually think Claude a lot of the times can create longer content that's actually a bit better than Chat GPT or even Gemini

sometimes. Uh Claude is good for longer

sometimes. Uh Claude is good for longer content, more in-depth research. you'll

hit caps on it a lot faster than others.

I currently like Gemini probably the best. However, for this, this is going

best. However, for this, this is going to guide you through the niche selection process. So, I'm going to say what is

process. So, I'm going to say what is your It's just going to ask you what is your main niche. I'm going to say home improvement. Okay. And then it's

home improvement. Okay. And then it's going to say based on that five relevant subniches of content you could create.

So, you could do you get a picture like a home improvement website. You call

yourself the handyman or handywoman something.com and you have at the top there's renovations, kitchen upgrades, flooring installation, outdoor living, all these different

categories of content, energy efficiency.

So, it's going to say it's going to give you some examples and it say what would you like to focus on for detailed keyword research? I'm going to say I

keyword research? I'm going to say I kind of like outdoor living.

We'll try that one. And this will then give you 20 your first 28 articles basically. So it's going to give

basically. So it's going to give youformational articles, some affiliate articles, and some pillar articles that you're going to create. So here, here we go. So in a nice uh table here. So

go. So in a nice uh table here. So

pillar post, how to create an outdoor living space complete beginner's guide.

Big guide. Here's the target keyword.

Pillar affiliate post, the best outdoor furniture for patios and decks. Target

keyword, best outdoor furniture. So this

is nice. Best patio heaters. Those can

be expensive. That's a good one. And

then here's all this differentformational content. So the

differentformational content. So the entire content strategy, your first 20 articles could be done. These are this is a really good example here. So like

how to build a deck, DIY PA patio, how to install patio string lights, build a fire pit, pergola, DIY outdoor kitchen, gravel patio ideas. So again, patio

ideas would be a big one. Gravel patio

ideas, wood patio ideas, deck ideas, and then more affiliate stuff. Best pavers,

best pressure washer, best propane fire pit. So, this is actually a pretty good

pit. So, this is actually a pretty good content strategy even for a YouTube channel or a website where it's like talking about outdoor living furniture.

You could dominate this niche by covering all of these different topics in depth with transactional and affiliate content. So, then it'll say,

affiliate content. So, then it'll say, you know, start with the it'll tell you what to do in the first couple months. I

kind of trained it with the Google Docs to do that, how I wrote it wrote it out.

How to create an outdoor living space.

You write this, then add supportingformational content. Months

supportingformational content. Months two to four, expand with easy to rank DIY tutorials and then monetize layer in transactional content decks. You know,

the affiliate ones, join a couple affiliate programs, add more complex ones later. High commission products,

ones later. High commission products, outdoor furniture sets, right? The

commissions are affiliate programs to join. Here's the ones to actually join.

join. Here's the ones to actually join.

Here's how to optimize it for SEO.

Here's how to get quick wins. You know,

have a complete road map. So, this is a really good prompt you can get by clicking the link in the description below. you get that and you can join us

below. you get that and you can join us if you want to join uh all the programs that we run in the communities and stuff like that too but you can get this one for free so yeah it's AI can help us

really create a simple content plan and this would dominate one area so we cover all these and then we could move to the next one we could move to you know kitchen renovations boom then you do all that and then all of a sudden you look

back it's a year later you've got five categories 100 articles and you're dominating across multiple things you've got ad revenue affiliate revenue coming in you may even have a sponsor by then

and then we can move into potentially multiplatform. So that could be then

multiplatform. So that could be then after that's done maybe you hire a single writer to kind of just optimize that with AI because I can show you um there's other prompts too. Let me show

you that real quick. So if I paste this system prompt in now that it knows this.

This is another one. This is more of a content generator. So it's going to say

content generator. So it's going to say what article would you like me to outline? I'm going to do best patio

outline? I'm going to do best patio heaters.

Now, I don't recommend you re, you know, recommend and review products with AI.

You should know a little bit about this niche yourself so that you have good recommendations. You want to humanize

recommendations. You want to humanize this. Add your own touch. In the

this. Add your own touch. In the

introduction, even in a video script or in the article, you say, "I've been working on outdoor patio furniture. I've

built this for 5 years and I know this.

I've tried all these different products and things like that." But it'll say um the content outline. Actually have to update this to 2026 because this is this

should say 2025. I'm going to do that right now live there. Now it says 2026. Gives you the

there. Now it says 2026. Gives you the full title, meta description, writes the introduction with interesting statistics. Pretty good main content

statistics. Pretty good main content structure. Then the main one is why you

structure. Then the main one is why you need a patio heater. And then it gets into types of patio heaters. Which one's

right for you? Natural gas, electric, all of that. our picks, the best ones, best overall, and then it goes through best budget option, best propane heater, best electric. So, it really outlines

best electric. So, it really outlines the entire article for you. Gives you

secondary headings, everything that you need, exact outline to get started. This

clause is very comprehensive when it comes to this, and then an FAQ section with all the different questions and answers and a fully written conclusion, and then 50 related semantic keywords to add in. So, ultimately, you can be like,

add in. So, ultimately, you can be like, "Wow, this is good." All right, let's do write out. I'm going to say like, for

write out. I'm going to say like, for example, I could just take part of it. I

could say, "Write this out fully and just this this section, right?" So,

this paragraph, I want you to write it out for me. And that's it.

Let me be honest with you. I've seen too many good, perfectly good patio heaters fail prematurely because they weren't maintained properly. It's frustrating.

maintained properly. It's frustrating.

So, short and long sentences, exclamation points, things that make it more humanized. You try to make it as

more humanized. You try to make it as humanized as possible before actually editing it yourself, but then it writes the full thing. So, pretty easy to create quick, fast content. You also

notice, all right, so how do we format this? How do we lay this out? Well,

this? How do we lay this out? Well,

you'll see if it's a best like product roundup or like the like the nail ideas one where it's kind of visual. Like if

we go back to if we go back to this like nail art ideas in this example, like well yeah, there's going to be a picture of every single one. So adding an image with a little bit of text is good for

the those types of articles. If it's

something like the best patio heaters one, then we'll want an image for each individual one. So, an image per product

individual one. So, an image per product for that.

Sometimes you don't even need it. Like

the editorial articles you'll see probably won't even have any pictures in them. So, look at this. There's no

them. So, look at this. There's no

there's no images in this article, but it looks good because it's broken up with headings, with some bold text, with little sections, links, and really it

doesn't feel the images are on the side and the banner ads and stuff. And it

actually is pretty readable. Even though

some of these paragraphs are pretty long, it's narrow enough and it's readable. The line spacing is good. So,

readable. The line spacing is good. So,

you don't even need images for every single article. I would say if you're

single article. I would say if you're doing the ideas trends post, you do one image per idea. Or if it's like 300 ideas, maybe one for every 10. But then

you add you want one image for each affiliate product. And then some more

affiliate product. And then some more random articles you don't even need images for. So AI is not a magical

images for. So AI is not a magical writer for you. You need to do the work.

A I can get you like 70% of the way there, but you should add intros and outros with your own voice. Those, you

know, those eat authority statements at the beginning, your own personal takes and opinions, your own real opinions on products, you want to just make stuff up. If you're not adding anything to the

up. If you're not adding anything to the conversation and you're just like using AI stuff and saying this is the best patio heater that already exists online somewhere else, it's never going to do well. So, if anyone can do it, no one

well. So, if anyone can do it, no one will succeed with it. So, you have to kind of go above and beyond. So that's

where we're elevating oursel here. Not

just this tiny affiliate site, but a real brand, a real content strategy, and a real voice. And that's going to be key. You need a real voice behind this,

key. You need a real voice behind this, not just copying and pasting AI. So

ultimately, AI plus editorial style is what will win in 2026. So that's kind of the playbook for starting a content site in 2026. Yes, you have informational

in 2026. Yes, you have informational content with an infinite keyword loop, tons of uh track traffic that you can get, affiliate articles, but make it in an editorial style. think multiplatform

in the future doing social media and YouTube, blend it all together and scale it up over time. So, if you're interested in learning more exactly how to get started from zero, make sure to just click the link in the description below, sign up for that free training.
