Tell us about yourself and why people should listen to and trust your opinion.
I’m Jitendra Vaswani, a 12-year affiliate marketing and SEO expert who turned a $50 blog into a million-dollar empire. I acquired AffiliateBooster.com in 2024, offering 25+ Gutenberg blocks that help affiliate marketers create high-converting sites, boosting sales by 20-30%. I’ve sold over 20,000 copies of my book, Inside A Hustler’s Brain, inspiring global entrepreneurs. Starting as an SEO executive in 2012, I became Payoneer’s Brand Ambassador in 2015 and spoke at international events alongside Neil Patel. My strategies leverage AI-SEO trends, like optimizing for chatbots, which have driven significant traffic growth. I’ve mentored thousands, sharing proven tactics through various platforms. My authority comes from real results—consistently adapting to trends like Google’s 2024 updates and AI-driven search.
Here are several traffic screenshots from my websites, illustrating the winners and losers emerging from the Google updates of 2024-25. There are numerous changes occurring daily as AI increasingly integrates into our business, leading to significant transformations in affiliate marketing.
What website promotion strategies are working right now? Which are beginner-friendly?
In 2025, AI-driven SEO is key—optimizing for chatbots like ChatGPT, with 400M weekly users, boosts visibility. Voice search optimization is also crucial, as 20% of searches are conversational, particularly given that 70% of affiliate sales come from mobile devices. Parasite SEO on platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn Pulse, and Medium.com ranks fast—30% of content hits the top 10 in 30 days. For beginners, voice search is accessible; use question-based content, such as “best product for X,” to align with user intent. AI tools like Grok AI for research are beginner-friendly, automating keyword analysis. My AffiliateBooster users leverage pre-made blocks to create engaging pages without coding, making it easy to start. Focus on quality content to meet Google’s user-focused standards.
Which website niches are currently the most promising for beginners to enter?
Niche markets like eco-friendly products, pet care, and health tech are thriving in 2025. Micro-niches, such as “vegan pet food,” offer low competition and loyal audiences, ideal for beginners. With 81% of brands using affiliate programs, these niches are lucrative. AI tools help identify trending keywords, simplifying research. For example, AI-driven analytics show rising demand for sustainable products, aligning with consumer trends. Beginners should choose a niche they’re passionate about to create authentic content that resonates, especially as Google’s 2024 updates prioritize E-E-A-T. Using tools like AffiliateBooster, they can craft comparison tables to boost conversions in these niches, ensuring a strong start.
What skills and tools will beginners need to succeed in website promotion by 2025?
Beginners in 2025 need AI-SEO skills—crafting content that chatbots cite, like ChatGPT, is crucial for visibility. Voice search optimization is essential, with 20% of searches conversational. Basic HTML and schema knowledge ensures AI-readiness, while content creation skills for user-focused, data-backed articles align with Google’s standards. Tools like Grok AI for content generation and SurferSEO for optimization are must-haves, saving 10-15 hours weekly. Predictive analytics tools help target audiences better, increasing conversions by 20%.
What global changes have you observed in SEO since you started until 2025?
Since its inception, SEO has undergone significant changes by 2025. Initially, it was about keyword stuffing and backlinks—I used these to grow my early sites. By 2025, AI Overviews cut organic traffic by 25%, pushing a focus on AI-SEO. Voice search now dominates, with 20% of queries conversational, especially on mobile, driving 70% of affiliate sales. Google’s 2024 updates deindexed thousands of low-quality sites, emphasizing E-E-A-T over old tactics. AI-powered search prioritizes user intent, requiring conversational content. Predictive analytics now guides strategies, improving ROI by 20%. My approach has evolved, leveraging AI tools for content optimization and chatbot citations to stay competitive in this new landscape.
What’s the biggest lie promoted by YouTube or paid-ad scammers? How can beginners spot red flags?
The biggest lie in 2025 is the promise of “instant wealth or making money online very fast” from paid ads with no effort—scammers claim millions can be made overnight. I’ve seen beginners lose thousands chasing these YouTube myths. Red flags include guaranteed results, high fees, and no transparency on methods. Real success takes time; my community sees 20-30% conversion boosts through consistent, quality content, not shortcuts. AI-SEO and email campaigns, which deliver 66.4% higher conversions, require strategy, not hype. Beginners should avoid offers that sound too good to be true and focus on ethical, proven tactics like voice search optimization and data-driven content. Therefore, I advise against falling for quick-rich schemes. Use AI tools and leverage AI trends in 2025.
What are the most common mistakes beginners make that block their success?
Beginners often produce generic content, risking deindexing—Google’s 2024 updates hit thousands of low-quality sites. They over-rely on SEO, missing email or social media, which can boost conversions by 66.4%. Many businesses overlook mobile optimization, resulting in a 70% loss of affiliate sales from mobile users. Not leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT for personalization is a mistake. AI saves 10-15 hours weekly on tasks like content creation. I’ve seen beginners fail by not prioritizing user value, which Google now emphasizes. Instead, create quality content, diversify traffic, and use AI for research and optimization to build trust and engagement for lasting success.

SEO in 2025 is AI-driven—AI Overviews cut traffic by 25%, so optimizing for chatbot citations, like ChatGPT’s 400M users, is essential.

Micro-influencers are rising, offering authentic affiliate partnerships.
