How To Create A Blog For Affiliate Marketing (QUICK & EASY)
so how can you quickly create a blog for affiliate marketing well pay close attention because i'm about to show you step by step exactly how to
do that let's get into it all right so what you're looking at right here is a blog post
i created using the exact platform that i'm about to show you how to set up your blog on so
if you take a look right here right we got our menu set up uh we got the title we also have the
date for the blog post and that'll automatically populate and then right here we have our picture
which is very relevant to what we're talking about since in in that blog post we're talking about
the youtube algorithm and then as we go down boom we got our h1 we got our text under that we
got our h2 uh and this is pretty much the outline as you're doing a blog post anywhere you're
doing a blog post and then as we go down we got our h2 again boom we got our text and then you
can even see i embedded a video in there as well and then down here if somebody wants to come and
make a comment all they have to do is just come in here and say hey this hey this is dope or hey
this sucks so whatever it is that they want to say right and then right here if you want to tweet
it out or the person that's reading this wants to tweet it out you can actually go ahead and
hit tweet and boom it's gonna take them right over to twitter if they're logged into their
account and they can actually share this with other people or of course they can just take the
link to this actual blog post and then share it that way alright so what i'm about to do now
is i'm actually about to show you how you can set up your blog just like this all right so the
platform we're gonna be using is called system.io and if you see value in this system and being
able to see how beneficial this could be for you then definitely go ahead and use that first link
down below in the description that'll give you free access and then if you want to upgrade
as you continue to get used to the system you could definitely go ahead and do that now
let's get into the step-by-step process so here we go so first thing we want to do is we want to
come up here to this tab that says blogs we want to click on that and then we're going to click on
this blue button that says create a blog and then right here this is where i name my blog like what
do i want my blog's name to be mine's going to be rakeem addison right it's going to be the rakeem
addison blog and then right here blog domain right so you can either use the domain that system.io
gives you or you could use your own domain which is highly recommended all right and if you don't
have one you can go to like godaddy name cheap or any one of the domain providers and then roll
with that all right so now what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna go ahead and make it my domain all
right so now it's rakeem addison.com backslash and then i'm gonna just make this my blog link
right so i'm gonna say blog three and then we're just gonna go ahead and choose a template
i'm gonna roll with this template right here uh and they will be bringing in more templates but
at the time that i'm recording these are the only two that they have all right so i'm gonna go ahead
and hit create all right so it's going and it's creating my blog boom i got a blog created that
quickly all right all right so now what i want to do is i want to go ahead and click on the blog
i just created the rakeem addison blog and then now you got either posts pages or categories right
so all the categories is it's like you're grouping like the type of content that you're talking about
right so if you're going to be talking about video marketing online tools blogging uh instagram like
it's sectioning everything off that's essentially what that is all right so what we want to go
to before we go to any of that stuff is we want to go to the blog layout so now this is where
we get to edit our footers i mean our footers and our headers all right and then also how our
blog posts will be structured so the first thing i like to do because i don't like to use other
people's logos and i'm sure you don't either so what i want to do is i'll go in here and i'll just
pretty much switch out this picture right here and put in you know a logo that i just
real quickly create it right it's just my name all right and then i hit insert now what
i want to do because that's a little bit big is i want to adjust the size on that logo
right so we can see already we look like we're putting together a blog post and i ain't did
no coding i haven't did any of that stuff right so now the next thing i want to do is i don't i
don't see any point of like putting my name twice so what i'll do down here is i'll just remove
this section but i won't remove the actual like row alright so boom so now we got our name which
is our logo and then we got these menus so this is the next thing we want to adjust right so
right now it says home articles contact and about but let's say for instance i don't want it
to say articles i wanted to say blog boom i just changed it that quickly right now another thing
we can do is we can adjust like the spacing on it right so the spacing between them let's say i
want those to be closer then i can do that now if i want those to be spread out i can actually
adjust it just like that right so you could play around with this to your liking and then you
know whatever you want within this space for like your blog content you can do but me personally i'm
not going to mess with anything in there and then another thing you could do is down here right so i
could change this and just have it just be like my company name and not system.io right so company
name and then i would probably put like we help uh we help uh with social media right let's just
put something like that for now all right so we help with social media and then what you can do
is you can actually link your actual social medias right here right so if you can go ahead and click
on this and then you can come over here and then put your actual instagram link right in there and
then anytime somebody comes over and they click one of those links it'll take them directly over
to your social media all right so i'm gonna just go ahead and call it we good right here so i'm
gonna go ahead and hit save changes so we just set up our blog layout so now i'm about to show
you how to set up your post layout all right so that was the blog layout now let's go to the post
layout now this is where we get into how your blog posts will actually look so now what i what i'm
gonna do and i was gonna do this anyway is i was gonna bring up my blog post title up at the top
now another thing i'm gonna do is i'm gonna bring in the blog post date just like this right so i'm
gonna put it right under the uh title and then boom so right now we can't really see it but what
i'm gonna do is i'm gonna bring it to the middle i'm gonna come over here and i'm gonna hit the
middle all right boom so now it's in the middle along with my title so now what i want to do is
i might want to make my title a little bit bigger as far as like appearance when somebody comes
on my blog post so what i'll do is i'll adjust the font size a little bit all right that's quite
that's quite big right so i'm gonna go with this and we're just gonna let that roll all right
so now we got our blog post title we got our blog post date which pretty much autumn auto
populates within that spot and then we got our blog post content how we want it pretty much
in the middle and then down here at the bottom we can add additional things if we really
really want to uh such as let me show you uh facebook comments so let's say for instance i
want facebook comments to be on every blog post well now i'm setting that up from the jump right
so now when i go ahead and i save that and i back out of here now when i go to set up my blog post
like over here where it says create a blog post i can go ahead and set it up from scratch or i
can just use the blog post template that they give you by default so i'm gonna go ahead and use
the blog post template but i'm gonna adjust it uh like matter of fact let's just go ahead and show
you from scratch so you know exactly what to do so i'm gonna go ahead and delete the blog post
template all right so it's deleted so we start from scratch so i hit create a blog post and
then now this is where i name my blog post now you know to not spend too much time i went ahead
and i did my research before um i i got on here so i can have some of this stuff ready for you so
now i'm gonna go over here to my pad and this is gonna be the name of my uh the title for my blog
post right here alright so boom that's my title and then the short description this is going to be
what we call a meta description in seo i won't get too technical on you but a meta description
is just simply what people are going to see well sometimes because you google shows um
different things but sometimes they'll see this exact meta description that's going to be
the thing that wants to make them that actually makes them click all right all right so now let's
go back over here let's grab the meta description that we created for that keyword and then now
what we're going to do is we're going to put our short description right there and then now
you can see they created the url path so the url path is rakeem addison blog 3 and then how to
get instagram real views guaranteed to make you blase blase blase right now obviously we don't
want that right we just want it to be the key word let's take that off for now we'll worry about that
later all right so now check it out so now it's how to get instagram real views because that's
the keyword that we want to rank for right all right and then you can also add an image but i'm
not going to add the image just yet i'll do that as we continue to go throughout the rest of this
tutorial all right so boom and then i can also add a category but i haven't created a category yet
so we're just going to go ahead and hit create all right so now check it out boom it just created the
blog post so now what i want to do is i want to come over here and i want to hit the edit button
now this is where i actually start to edit my blog post so you remember we set up our blog layout and
we set up our post layout so you can see it's set up exactly how we want it right from the jump so
we're saving a lot more time so now as you can see how to get instagram real views that's my title
boom there's my date i probably would make that a little bit bigger so it stands out and then now
what i want to do is i want to start adding my h1s and my h2s right so what i do is i'll go over here
to where it says headline text and then i'll put this in or note before that let me actually put
my photo because you want to make sure you have a photo so that your blog post stands out and
you know it brings some light to it all right so now i'm gonna go over here and i'm gonna add
an image right boom there we go right there and then i'm gonna add something that look you know
instagrammy i know that ain't really a word but we're gonna roll with it all right so there we
go right there boom we got our photo added and it's already starting to look like the blog post
that i showed you in the beginning of the video so let me make this a little bit bigger uh the
image size all right that should be pretty good right there all right so now let's go down
and now we're going to start adding our h2s all right so boom come in here like that and i'm
gonna go ahead and highlight that hit the uh bold and then i'm gonna make this an h2 boom just that
simple and then now what we do is we want to go ahead and left justify that all right there we
go and then now we take some regular text right now i want this text to be sort of close so i'm
gonna put it about right there uh that should be good and then what i'll do for this is i'll also
let's just justify it and then now we got our h2 and we got our text right under it seem a
little bit close but i'm gonna have to adjust it a little bit to kind of make it look well but
we got it there right all right and then now we do the same thing we go ahead and we add another h2
boom so now we do the same thing go ahead and do b for bold and then i'll go ahead and make this
to h2 and then i'll go ahead and left justify this as well so you can see this process is very
very simple i'm not having to deal with any code or any of that stuff right very very simple
for me to set up right so let me go ahead and add matter of fact i'll just make a copy of this
all right so boom so there we go right there and hopefully it didn't grab both of them hopefully
we just grab one uh okay so let's make this a little bit closer all right there we go just that
simple it's looking exactly like the other post so now at the bottom you see i already got these
right here for like facebook comments so like when people come here they can actually you know give
feedback on what they thought about the post and so on and so on so let me actually remove this
because i don't really need this to be here all right boom and then something else
that i can add is i can actually add like um like a twitter share button right so if i
come over here and i go just like this boom oh it didn't pop in there let me do it one more time all
right so there we go right there so i just put my tweet button in so they can actually hit the share
button if they actually want if they're getting value from what they're seeing here or reading
or whatever or if i decide to put a video in there right so let's say i'll go ahead and i put a
video after this second uh after this second text so let's say boom i dropped the video right there
and boom we literally got a video in here notice i'm not using any code or anything it's literally
just drag and drop and my blog is coming together just like the one i showed you earlier all right
so now let's say that this is my blog and i'm done i'm gonna go ahead and hit save changes and
then i'm gonna back out of it because i want to show you what it looks like um along with the
facebook comments so if i come here and i hit view boom here's my post rakeem addison there's all
the links and then there's my title there's the date there's the picture now that picture looks
a little bit stressed out a little bit too much so you know you might want to adjust you know
with the size and all that stuff uh but look boom there's our h2 with the text there's our ace
two again with the text uh there's our video now of course you can adjust this to bring this a
little bit closer uh but that's cool just for a second this video and then boom if somebody wants
to share boom they hit the tweet button and then they can come over here and just you know leave
a comment for whatever it is that they want right all right so now i'm about to show you how to
add the metadata information which is very very important all right so let me go ahead and click
off this page right here and we're going to go right back over here all right so now we're going
to go back into the edit to edit our blog post and i'm going to go ahead and click here and then
now what we need to do is over here at the top we want to go ahead and click on settings so now
what we want to do is we want to scroll down to where it says search engine optimization seo
so now we're going to go right back over here and we're going to put that same information that
we had from over here all right so come over here we're going to grab the keyword that we're trying
to rank for and then in the meta description we're going to put this information right here
all right so boom we're going to copy this and the key to the meta description is
look at the framework that i'm using right so this is a complete guide on how to get
instagram real views it includes my keyword and then learn how to go viral on instagram with
this in-depth post so that could possibly show up when people are searching i'm like man okay i
want to do that right that's that's essentially what this is for all right so now when we come
back over here the next thing we need to grab is our keywords that we want to rank for
now i did the research prior to me actually creating this content uh and these are actual
keywords that i use and i found them over on uh uh ahrefs uh the that ahrefs keyword tool so these
are actual keywords and then now if i come right here there's the keywords and then i'm the author
of this uh this this blog post so i'm gonna go ahead and put my name and you're the author for
yours and then i'm not gonna use a social image um but all that is is like when you're showing
sharing it on like social platforms it'll be the picture that actually shows up when you do it
all right so that's how that whole thing works all right so i'm gonna go ahead and hit save
changes and then boom we we actually went ahead and we created our blog post let's see how it
looks and the most important thing like i said is just the metadata as well right boom there's
our blog post and almost one more thing i almost forgot this right before you before you hold up
real quick another thing is making sure it's not being hidden from the search engines so right here
it says hi from search engines and it's checked we will want to click that to uncheck it and then
hit save changes but for sake of this video i'm not actually about to do that alright so that's
how you create your own blog using system.io if you got value from this video definitely give me
a thumbs up and if you haven't yet got access to system.io and you see the value in it definitely
go ahead and use that first link down below in the description box which will get you free
access and if you want to upgrade later you could definitely do that with that being said i
look forward to seeing you in the next video peace
