landers or content sites? landers are the way to go if you are buying traffic, but for Google organic, isn't a content site more suitable?

Both, but I call my landers 'product features'
I create landers for bestselling products
Link to product page (good for SEO, improves your ranking)
 
Do you make your own YT videos for your products or are you embedding/sharing other videos by other people that are reviewing the same product you are promoting?

Different strategies for this
1. Embed competitor product video with only 2 plugs, start and end (start video after opening plug & end video before closing plug)
2. Embed company product video (best option, but most companies dont do it)
3. Use combo of product images & free stock video to make video (time consuming, best to avoid unless your are pro & can automate)
Your questions are good !! :)

Thanks! I think I sort of get it, so you would make a lander that's basically a page outlining all of the specific product features, but this lander is still linked to your content site?

Thanks! 1. is a little confusing but I might try to incorporate number 2. Any issues with copyright if you choose 2?

You get it & lander is ON content site !!
Just you don't see it linked anywhere unless from Google Search
 
Thanks! 1. is a little confusing but I might try to incorporate number 2. Any issues with copyright if you choose 2?

1. It used to work like this --> youtube.com/embed/Jxm206I9Z6s?start=76&end=120 (start video after 76 seconds, end it after 120 seconds) where you can code the video to start and stop at any time you want, but it didn't work on this time, @Graybeard do you know how to do it?

2. No issues, if company doesn't want to promote its product for free maybe because you are devaluing its brand, this happened to me so I removed video, but most times you will help company sales & get more video views so they don't say yes or no (if they even know about it, most often nobody has time to look at You Tube analytics)
 
CLS issue:
Google not only uses your content to sell their overpriced advertising but is picky now about what they 'appropriate' for their purposes --:D
anyway, not that I really care, but
upload_2020-11-27_7-59-52.png


page has a lot of content and is not using .wep images --did this one a few years ago for am idea put on hold. This page is bootstrap3 ... before Google started this anal probe JO. I am not 'real world' :D

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) for a deeper tech explanation. TBH I had to read this first. New acronym (CLS) WTF is that acronym --I don't play this endless game. But I must admit --when explained it is irritating.

CSS transform property allows you to animate elements without triggering layout shifts:

  • Instead of changing the height and width properties, use transform: scale().
  • To move elements around, avoid changing the top, right, bottom, or left properties and use transform: translate() instead.

Yet Google features the Associated Press in their news site and I have seen the Associated Press in background reporting on news related keyword searches on the first page. Google is a bully to the little guys --take Google seriously???
 
I do everything chaotically. because of this, efficiency is lost.

You answered your own question!

You must have a plan, a written plan! Plans are always changing, but you must have one written. They are living things and always evolving. Be a planner, and you will eliminate 99% of any chaos, improve all aspects of your efforts immensely, and see progress steadily towards your goals.

Today$118$129/day$119/day
This Week$356$903/week$833 (projection base on average)
This Month$356$4,000/month$3,689 (projection base on average)
This Year$6,847$10,000/year$10,179 (projection base on average)

Notes
  1. Good start to $4k December challenge, daily traffic stable < 1,100 > sessions, bounce rate improved 5% after many technical fixes & add new content (its like shaving, never ending story)
  2. Complete alot more tasks with Google Calendar (Monday-2-Friday tasks scheduled Friday morning)
  3. Finding new ways to save time --> keyboard shortcuts, smart phone apps, scheduled posts, scheduled promo codes (start & end date), bookmarks, anything that's manual & takes time will automate, good post on Entrepeneur called '36 Insanely Useful Productivity Hacks'
  4. Draw 6 pots on wallchart (for my 6 affiliate networks) and brainstorm how to earn $21.50/day each network ($21.50/day x 6 networks = $129/day, x 30 days = $3,999 for $4k target), this is what I learn to start with your 'why?' its the big goal & work backwards until EVERYTHING is planned into daily routine, and I always write it down like @T J Tutor said
  5. @Socrates @AmNovice @alphaarticles good questions this week !! keep asking & learning, its from Benjamin Franklin --> 'How do you become better tomorrow? By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid of standing still. Forget your mistakes, but remember what they taught you. So how do you become better tomorrow? By becoming better today'

  1. use ajax/xhr links so you can count the click out data
  2. get postbacks from your vendors (sales only probably)
  3. set goals in G-A
  4. use the GA api to get the data on a cron job
  5. write a script to display the data you want
Major project ...

Probably, but it's a complex task to do it using G-A. And you would need the postback cooperation of the third party -- that may be an issue. Probably more doable with a commercial tracker that would support the postback.

TUESDAY REPORT
December 8, 2020

Diary

Over $1,000 commission in last 8 days, but target for 2021 is $1,000 every day, only 3 weeks away from 2021 so I must step up game --> outsource will begin in 2 weeks (research products & add new products), I am sharing 95% of what I learnt so far --> just find untapped niche and copy my formula, simple & it works

Finish my business plan for 2021 with all projection, next I will send it to new accountant for 2nd opinion, we are working with the pro bono because I make their website get higher Google ranking

Next I begin learning how to make product videos --> creatoracademy.youtube.com/ & scheduled all courses in Google Calendar, so it will be complete before New Years Eve

Commission

-Today This Week This Month This Year
Commission $156 $393 $1,071 $7,961
Projection $126 (ave.) $882 $3,906 $10,859
Target $129 $903 $4,000$10,000

Not really pro bono, more like bartering. The accountant is getting something from you in return. It's a win-win.

You're close to your goal and the way you've been working and learning so hard, if you don't get right to $10K, you won't be too far off. If not this year, you'll definitely make (and probably surpass) it next year.

@azgold really you make a big difference in my journey
