Improving My Affiliate Marketing Section
There are a few changes I've brought to the videos that were uploaded threes days ago. But there's a major one that I did not mention in the entry yesterday, and that's the "Merchandise/Affiliate marketing" section. Let me show you what all videos prior May 18, 2018 looked like in that area :

If I had to ask anyone to use emojis to describe that, they'd look like this: 😨😬😰😱😳😠😡🤬🤢🤮. If I told them to describe it in words... oh boy... responses would be highly variable. So let's just state the obvious here: it looks very chaotic, tacky, spammy and desperate. Let's emphasize the latter two words one more time: Spammy and desperate. It's no wonder it's been such a bot magnet. 💀🤖💀 There's far too many links, that often don't have anything to do with the given videos, or only partially at times.
So this leads to a serious question you must be wondering: Why am I coming out with this? Why do you need to know this, when you never asked, noticed or cared in the first place? Well, whether you care about my content or not, there's a very important lesson to learn here, and that is affiliate marketing is supposed to be about useful, relevant content. If the video is about travelling, then the affiliate links should be about products that have to do with travelling such as passport holders or travel adapters for example. What on Earth would Victoria's Secret or Norton have to do with an outdoors trail?! While it may sound very hilarious to imagine a women running down a trail in Victoria's Secret attire while doing a computer virus scan, it's not considered relevant to serious shoppers and certainly not to search engines.
This month I've brought a few quality changes to the channel. The improved thumbnail graphics and channel banner are the things that are the most noticeable. With the affiliate area being buried in the description, it likely isn't something most care or bother with, but I felt that it was something that needed to be re-worked for future videos. It would be painstaking to go and fix up the section for the older ~345 videos. But with this post, you now know that videos uploaded from the date mentioned above won't look like that anymore. Using Walking On The Trans-Canada Trail And Then Elizabeth Street as example, here is a fine example of the improvement:

An outdoors video with links to products that would actually be useful to people who plan to spend some time outdoors. While some of you might see this entire post as an eye roll, and state that this should have been common sense, trust me, affiliate marketing is a fiercely competitive field, where it can seem like the "Department Style" approach would be a good way to stand out and try in rank in some sales, but it isn't. View this post as just me being transparent with things and the changes I've made for the better.
