## Overview

Generates a complete affiliate marketing content system for any product or niche. Turns your affiliate links into high-converting reviews, comparison posts, email sequences, and social content — without writing from scratch.

Four prompts cover the highest-converting affiliate content formats:
1. **Product Review Post** — SEO-optimized long-form affiliate review (1,200-1,800 words)
2. **Comparison Post (vs Alternatives)** — "X vs Y vs Z" format with feature matrix and use-case routing
3. **Email Affiliate Sequence** — 5-email warm-list promotion sequence with disclosure language
4. **Social + YouTube Pre-Roll Script** — Short-form content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X

## Tips for Best Results

1. **Be specific about your audience** — "freelance writers who blog about personal finance" outperforms "writers"
2. **Use real proof points** — actual conversion rates, specific feature names, real pricing tiers
3. **Lead with problems, not products** — the best affiliate content solves a reader's problem and mentions the product as the solution
4. **Always include disclosure** — FTC requires it; it also builds trust
5. **Stack the comparison** — put your highest-earning affiliate as Product A in the comparison post
