A detailed strategy was developed to drive targeted traffic to the product page, maximizing conversion probability .
| Traffic Channel | Strategy & Focus | Key Action |
|---|---|---|
| Blog Post | Detailed Review: Create a comprehensive review focusing on how the headphones enhance the travel experience (e.g., peace on long flights, noise isolation in hotels). | Embed affiliate links strategically within the text, images, and comparison sections. |
| PPC Ads | Targeted Keywords: Run campaigns (Google/Bing Ads) focusing on high-intent keywords (e.g., "best noise cancelling headphones for long flights," "Sony WH-1000XM4 deal"). | Create compelling ad copy with clear CTAs and direct the ads to the product page using the affiliate link. |
| YouTube Video | Visual Demonstration: Produce an unboxing and hands-on review focusing on sound quality, comfort for long wear, and noise cancellation testing in typical travel environments (e.g., simulated plane cabin noise). | Include affiliate links prominently in the video description and via cards. Optimize video metadata (title, tags) for search. |
| Social Media | Engagement: Create visually engaging posts (images/short clips) highlighting key features and user reviews across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. | Use eye-catching visuals and direct followers to the affiliate link in the post or the bio link. |
This project successfully transitioned from theoretical knowledge to practical execution in affiliate marketing.
