The Gift Guide Affiliate Model – This Works for More Than Just Chess!
The more I think about this chess gift guide idea, the more I realize—this concept applies to so many other niches too!
At its core, what am I really doing?
👉 Helping people buy gifts for something they don’t fully understand.
And guess what? This happens ALL THE TIME across so many interests and fandoms.
🔮 Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Every Other Fandom Out There
Imagine you have a huge Harry Potter fan in your life.
🎁 You want to get them an amazing Harry Potter-themed gift.
😬 But you have no clue what to buy.
🤷 What house are they in? What’s a “Patronus”? Do they already own 10 wands?!
Now imagine a site that breaks it all down for you—a curated Harry Potter gift guide that explains everything in plain English.
Would that be useful? Absolutely.
And it doesn’t stop at Harry Potter.
💡 Game of Thrones gift guide for non-GoT fans
💡 NFL gift guide for someone buying for a football superfan
💡 Golf gift guide for someone who’s never held a club in their life
🚀 Why This Works for Affiliate Marketing
This isn’t just about making a list of “best gifts.”
This is about solving a problem—helping people confidently choose a gift that will be appreciated by the fan or enthusiast in their life.
And if you’re thinking, “Hey, I could do this for something I love!”—you absolutely can.
🔹 Love Marvel movies? Make a gift guide for non-Marvel fans buying for MCU obsessives.
🔹 Passionate about a sport? Create a “Best Gifts for Tennis Players” guide for people who don’t know what’s useful vs. gimmicky.
🔹 Big on fitness? Help people find the best workout gear for gym lovers.
The possibilities are endless—and you can find all the tools, training, and resources you need at Wealthy Affiliate (the platform I’ve personally used since 2015 to build and grow affiliate sites).
