Your assignment
Build a three-offer comparison with verified terms and honest exclusions. Use your own project, or practice with the clearly illustrative compact-desk-lamp scenario.
Step by step
Use the niche brief to shortlist three genuinely relevant products. Include a simpler or non-purchase alternative when it serves the reader.
Find the merchant’s official affiliate application or a network listing. Networks such as Impact, PartnerStack and Amazon Associates are places to investigate; admission and merchant access are not guaranteed.
Record territory, eligibility, commission basis, attribution window, prohibited placements, return/reversal handling and payout terms with URLs and dates. Treat all unknowns as unknowns.
Ask AI to compare your captured terms and flag ambiguity. Open the originals yourself before applying. Do not let an agent accept agreements or modify payment details.
Choose tools by job: a spreadsheet for offer research, program dashboards for approved commissions, Search Console for search performance, and a consent-based email platform for follow-up. A link manager is optional; verify that redirects or shortened links are permitted.

Replace bracketed inputs with your real notes. Keep sensitive information out.
Compare these three offers using only my source notes [notes]. Return audience fit, evidence quality, limitations, program eligibility, attribution terms, allowed channels and unanswered questions. Do not rank purely by commission or invent missing terms. Recommend the next fact to verify.
A worked example
Illustrative decision: the higher-rate lamp offer loses because shipping excludes the audience’s country. The lower-rate offer may be a better fit, but only after checking the current terms.
