I want to build a hands-off income stream through affiliate marketing in the personal finance niche, focusing on content rather than product management or fulfillment.

I’m looking for a clear, step-by-step launch plan that takes me from zero to earning my first affiliate commissions.

What I need:

• Niche and keyword research in banking, budgeting apps, credit tools, and beginner investing

• A comparison of top personal finance affiliate programs (payouts, cookie periods, pros/cons)

• Website and tech stack guidance (WordPress, fast theme, essential plugins, email setup)

• A 90-day SEO content plan plus three fully written long-form articles (1,000+ words, SEO-ready)

• Copy for a 5-email welcome sequence that builds trust and promotes affiliate offers

• Simple analytics and tracking setup (GA4, basic events, easy-to-read dashboard)

Deliverables:

1. Editable research and strategy documents

2. Original, WordPress-ready articles

3. All sources and links clearly referenced

4. Clear next steps to continue growth after launch

Suggestions like short-form videos or comparison tools are welcome, but the main focus should remain on personal finance affiliate marketing.
