A couple of listeners told me about their recovery stories. Jack and Tobias have different ideas, so let's talk about it. If you have a story, please email me! • Tobias's YouTube Video is here. Generally, he suggests this: 1) Short and hyper-focused content on the comparison of products— no talk about how to use it, what it is, FAQs, etc 2) Don't write a description of the products but more an opinion on the product. Use words like we tested, we think, we feel, our opinion is, we noticed. 3) Content length: 600-1000 words. 4) Deleted the affiliate plugin AAWP. I upload the product image to my website and use text links to Amazon. Contact me. Ask Questions!
