# Why TMN needs Content Egg

Too Much Niche requires the **Content Egg** plugin — installed, active, and up to date alongside it. It isn't optional: Content Egg renders the building blocks of every article and supplies the product data TMN works with.

## What Content Egg does for TMN

* **Renders the blocks.** Every article is assembled from **EggBlocks** — product cards, comparison tables, CTAs, pricing, and the rest. Content Egg turns those blocks into what readers see, and keeps their product and profile data **live at view time** (so prices, links, and contact details stay correct after publishing).
* **Supplies product data.** Its modules find and store products: **affiliate-network search** (Amazon, Walmart, eBay, …), the **Feed module** for your own catalog, and the **Offer module** that holds AI-synthesized products for non-affiliate models.

## Free or Pro?

The **free** version is enough for most models. **Affiliate** product search needs **Content Egg Pro**, and **e-commerce** uses the **Feed module** (included in both Free and Pro). See [Free vs Pro](/content-egg-integration/free-vs-pro.md) for the details.

## Set it up

1. **Install the latest Content Egg** alongside TMN — both install the same way; see [Requirements & installation](/getting-started/installation.md).
2. **Enable the modules for your model:**
   * **Affiliate** — turn on and configure the affiliate-network modules you'll use (Amazon, Walmart, eBay, …) in Content Egg's settings. These power automatic product search and need **Content Egg Pro** with an active Content Egg license. Configuring a module — for example, entering Amazon credentials — is done inside Content Egg; see the [Content Egg docs](https://ce-docs.keywordrush.com/).
   * **E-commerce** — set up the **Feed module** with your catalog; see [Set up product feeds](/content-egg-integration/product-feeds.md).
   * **Lead generation, SaaS, display** — nothing to configure; the free blocks are all you need.
   * **Featured images** — enable one or more **stock-photo modules** (**Pixabay**, **Pexels**, **Unsplash**) in Content Egg, then set *Featured image source → Stock photo* in your Generation Preset. TMN searches every active module, lets the AI pick the image that best fits each article, and avoids repeats across a plan. **Activating all three gives the best, most varied results.**
3. **Confirm TMN sees it.** Configured modules appear in the plan wizard as **Affiliate networks**, and on a plan as its **Product source**.

## Bundle
