Affiliate Article Kit (SEO + trust)

Before you write
- Pick one primary keyword:
- Confirm search intent (buyer, comparison, how-to):
- Identify 2–4 “good alternatives” (do not oversell one tool)
- Collect proof: screenshots, personal results, quotes, or demo notes

Disclosure (place near the top)
Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. If you use them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Suggested article structure
1) Quick answer (2–3 sentences)
2) Who this is for / not for
3) My criteria (what “good” means)
4) Top picks (with short, honest pros/cons)
5) Comparison table
6) Deep dive sections (one per tool)
7) FAQs
8) Final recommendation + next steps

CTA placements (natural, not spammy)
- After the “quick answer”
- After the comparison table
- At the end of each tool section (1 CTA max)
- Near the conclusion

Comparison table template
Tool | Best for | Price | Pros | Cons | Link
-----|----------|-------|------|------|-----
{Tool 1} | {Use case} | {Price} | {1–2 pros} | {1 con} | {affiliate link}

Trust checklist
[ ] You mention at least 1 downside for every product you recommend
[ ] You include an alternative for different budgets
[ ] You keep claims specific and verifiable
[ ] You avoid “guaranteed income” language
[ ] You add next steps even if the reader doesn’t buy

Finishing touches
- Add 3–5 internal links to related topics
- Add 2–3 external links to reputable sources
- Add a short “how I tested” section if possible
