Evergreen surface: YouTube description vs blog post vs newsletter
Where you park an affiliate link determines its half-life and your dependence.
— YouTube description: compounds for years, huge search surface — but the link sits below the fold and YouTube owns the reach. Best for high-intent "best X for Y" reviews.
— Blog post: you own it, ranks in Google + AI search, link sits inline where intent peaks. Slow to build, highest control. Best for comparison and "how to choose" content.
— Newsletter: highest click-through (warm list), but each send is a one-time spike, not evergreen — unless you build an automated welcome sequence.
Decision rule:
— If you want compounding search traffic you don't own then YouTube.
— If you want an asset you control + AI citations then a blog comparison page.
— If you want immediate clicks from people who trust you then newsletter, automated for evergreen value.
Checklist: one offer lives on at least two surfaces, each with its own sub-ID.
Definition of done: no single platform owns 100% of a given offer's clicks.
