Back in 2023, I wrote a simple comparison article between two email marketing tools I had personally used. The post compared ConvertKit vs. MailerLite and shared my honest experience with both. I wasn't trying to sell I was trying to help people make the right choice. That turned out to be the reason it performed so well.

Why It Worked​

• People searching comparison keywords are usually ready to buy, making them ideal for affiliate content.
• Instead of saying "both are great," I gave a clear recommendation based on different user needs.
• Since both products had affiliate programs, readers could choose the one that suited them and I could earn either way.

The Results​

The article eventually reached Google's first page, bringing in consistent traffic every month. Without updating it regularly, it has generated over $2,800 in affiliate commissions and continues to earn passively.

Biggest Lesson​

One well-researched comparison or review article can outperform dozens of general blog posts. Focus on helping people make buying decisions with honest, experience-based content, and the affiliate income often follows naturally.
