This is how I turned one product review into a five-platform funnel

June 15, 2025
Home Affiliate Marketing Strategies

I run a content-based business built on affiliate marketing. Most days, you’ll find me working as an Amazon Influencer, TikTok Shop Affiliate, and YouTube Shopping Creator—testing ways to turn product content into passive income. That includes finding trending items, creating short videos, and building blog-based funnels that drive clicks, sales, and long-term visibility.

One product line I consistently earn commissions on is Laura Geller—specifically her foundations, primers, and brushes. These items do well across all platforms, but until recently, I hadn’t fully maximized their potential.

Today changed that.

What started as a lazy, post-lunch slump turned into a full-on content workflow that now lives across five monetizable platforms—all from three simple product videos. And the reason this matters isn’t just because it worked—it’s because it shows how affiliate marketing content can be simple, strategic, and scalable, all at once.

This is what I use to plan my Pinterest content fast — no blank screens, no guessing. Just 50 ChatGPT prompts that help me write pins, grow traffic, and repurpose everything. Download once, use it forever.

Why This Funnel Strategy Works

Affiliate creators often get overwhelmed trying to figure out what to post, where to post it, or how to monetize. What I’ve learned is that most of the magic happens in the repurposing. One piece of content can (and should) live across multiple platforms—because each one gives us a different way to get discovered and get paid:

  • TikTok gives us visibility and fast traction through short-form engagement.
  • Amazon places our videos directly on product listings, reaching buyers in the moment.
  • YouTube Shorts offers search and long-tail visibility.
  • Pinterest drives long-term discovery through evergreen images and Idea Pins.
  • Blogging gives us a central home for SEO traffic and link-safe sharing.

Each of these channels pays us differently—but they all work together. That’s the core strategy.


Step 1: TikTok – Create the Core Asset

I started with three quick videos for TikTok. Each one was built around a Laura Geller product. These weren’t polished. They were authentic, clean, and focused on one key benefit (e.g., “no cakey finish,” “perfect for over 40 skin,” “lightweight for summer”).

Why TikTok first? Because it’s fast to test. It’s the easiest place to see if a product grabs attention. If it flops, I learn. If it takes off, I scale. Either way, it’s the beginning of the funnel.

How monetization works: When I post these videos and tag the product in TikTok Shop, I earn commission any time someone buys through my link. The tag makes it shoppable. The content builds trust. TikTok handles the rest.


Step 2: Amazon Influencer + YouTube – Repurpose With Purpose

Once the TikToks were live, I fed those same videos into Repurpose.io, which automatically published them to:

  • My Amazon Influencer storefront, where they now appear on actual product listings
  • My YouTube Shorts feed, where they’re visible in search and eligible for Shopping tags

Why Amazon? Because Amazon puts your video directly on the product page. If someone watches your video and buys? You get paid. It’s the closest you’ll get to bottom-of-funnel content.

Why YouTube? YouTube Shorts have legs. With YouTube Shopping, I can tag the product under the video and show up in search results like “Laura Geller Baked Foundation demo.” This makes my video both shoppable and discoverable.

This step took zero extra effort—Repurpose.io did the work. That’s what makes this scalable.


Step 3: Pinterest – Capture Evergreen Traffic

For Pinterest, I snapped a horizontal photo of the product using my phone. I dropped it into Canva just to resize it for blog use, then uploaded the same photo into Pinterest.

Here’s the trick: Pinterest lets you add a text overlay inside the platform. I used bold, keyword-focused phrases like “Best Foundation for Mature Skin” to match what users are searching for.

Why not link directly to an affiliate link? Because Pinterest doesn’t love direct affiliate links in every pin. Repeating them can hurt your reach. Instead, I linked each Pin to a dedicated blog post, which gives me more control and keeps my content safe and brand-friendly.

Pinterest monetization strategy: Each Pin drives traffic to a blog post that includes:

  • Lasso-embedded affiliate links
  • My TikTok and YouTube videos
  • Pinterest-optimized keywords

I also used Pinterest’s product tagging tool to tag the exact Laura Geller item in the Pin. That way, I still get the shoppable connection.


Step 4: Blogging – Control the Funnel and Build SEO

Every product got its own blog post. I chose long-tail keywords people actually search, like:

  • “Laura Geller Spackle Primer Review”
  • “Best foundation for women over 40”
  • “Is Laura Geller worth it?”

These posts give me:

  • A unique URL to share across platforms
  • An SEO base that builds long-term traffic
  • A safe place to embed affiliate links

Each post includes the photo, video, embedded links, and context about the product.

This is also where I can expand. Over time, I can write comparison posts (Laura Geller vs. IT Cosmetics), top 5 roundups, or seasonal makeup guides.


Step 5: Full Funnel Tagging

Pinterest: I tagged each Pin with the specific product. YouTube: I used YouTube Shopping to add product tags under my Shorts. TikTok: I tagged through TikTok Shop. Amazon: Videos automatically show up on the product page with my affiliate ID.

This step ensures that no matter where someone finds me, they can shop the product directly.


What This Creates

From three videos, I now have:

  • Three blog posts (SEO-friendly and link-safe)
  • Three TikToks with embedded product links
  • Three Amazon product videos
  • Three YouTube Shorts with Shopping tags
  • Multiple Pinterest pins + Idea Pins

That’s 15+ pieces of monetizable content, all discoverable, all linked, all funneling traffic.

This system allows you to:

  • Get more out of every minute spent creating
  • Avoid burnout by working smarter
  • Test what platforms convert best
  • Build a brand that compounds instead of burns out
