Affiliate marketing
With the affiliate model, TMN builds a review site that recommends real products and earns commission. It plans the money pages and the supporting content, finds and ranks real products, and places them in your articles with live affiliate links.
What you need
Content Egg Pro — for automatic product search from affiliate networks. (On Free you'd attach every product by hand.) See Free vs Pro.
At least one affiliate-network module configured in Content Egg — Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Bol.com, BestBuy. See Set it up.
Amazon: API vs No API
Amazon has two modules:
Amazon API — uses Amazon's official Creators API. It needs active API access, which Amazon currently keeps tied to making roughly 10 qualifying sales every 30 days.
Amazon No API — works without API access, so you can start building right away.
Both support all Amazon locales. Use No API if you don't have API access yet, and switch to API once you're approved. (On generation, Amazon products are enriched with real user reviews, specs, and other factual data.)
Create the plan
Create a plan (see Create a content plan) with Primary monetization → Affiliate Marketing, and pick your Affiliate networks. That sets the product source TMN searches.
Before you generate, confirm the module actually returns search results — no API error, and your API access is active.
What TMN plans: the silo
An affiliate plan deliberately mixes two kinds of articles:
Money — includes product blocks with affiliate links.
Info — no product blocks; builds topical authority and links to your money pages.
Mixed — may include product blocks where they're naturally relevant.
The info content does the supporting job: it funnels readers and internal links toward the money pages. Don't force too many money articles — a healthy share of info content makes the whole site rank better. Set the balance with the Info / Money mix in the wizard.
Products in your articles
Found automatically. At generation, TMN searches your networks, ranks products by relevance, rating, reviews, and availability, and places them in product blocks with live affiliate links.
Prices stay current. Content Egg keeps prices up to date automatically, so published articles stay accurate.
Curate your picks. On your most important money pages, attach specific products by hand so automatic search can't replace them — see Curate products.
Rich product blocks. Product cards, comparison tables, pros & cons, and rating breakdowns display real product details for a polished, professional look.
Price comparison (optional)
Turn on price-comparison blocks in your Generation Preset to add EAN-based comparison tables — the same product across several merchants. For these to fill in, enable Content Egg modules that support EAN search:
Amazon, Amazon No API, BestBuy, Bol.com, CJ, eBay, Kelkoo, Kieskeurig.nl, Viglink, Tradedoubler, Tradetracker, Walmart, Webgains.
