[Challenge Log] Side Hustle During Parental Leave in My 30s | Affiliate Marketing Part 2: Turning Product Introductions That Get Lost on Threads into Articles People Read on note

Hello, this is Natsu.
Thank you as always for your likes and follows.

Recently, I've been thinking a bit about how to use Rakuten ROOM and affiliate marketing.
I thought that if I were to introduce products, it might be better to post them on Threads.

However, when I actually tried it, they just kept getting buried.
I thought that articles compiled on note might have more potential, so I put this together.

For example, an article compiling sleep-related goods.

It had 64 views and 7 likes.

Looking at the numbers alone, it's not huge.
But looking at the like rate, 7 likes ÷ 64 views is about 10.9%.

If it's over 10% on note, at the very least, those who read it
might have thought, 'This is good.'

Threads posts get buried, but note articles remain.
I thought this was a big difference.

Many people see affiliate posts on Threads because they happen to scroll past them.
Of course, I think there are people who become interested on the spot.

But the distance to a purchase is a bit far.

On the other hand, if you leave it on note as a 'summary of things I own' or 'things that actually helped me,'

People who are struggling with putting their baby to sleep.
People who are troubled by the 'back switch' (baby waking up when laid down).
People who are looking for sleep-related goods.
People who want to know the impressions of someone who actually used them.

There is a possibility that such people will come to read it.

Instead of just lining up products,
'an article to read before buying'
might be the good thing about note—that you can nurture it into that.

If I'm going to do it now, rather than just posting new products one after another,
I want to first nurture the articles I already have.

For example,

At what age I used it.
What problem I had that led me to buy it.
How it actually made things easier.
Conversely, what was underwhelming about it.
Who it seems to be a good fit for.
Who doesn't need it.
Which one to buy first.

Adding these details.

By doing so, it becomes not just a collection of ROOM links,
but an article that helps people make decisions when choosing sleep goods.

The title might also be a bit weak if it's just 'Sleep Goods Summary'.

For example,
A summary of sleep items that actually helped me when I was at my limit with putting my baby to sleep or
Sleep items that helped our family during the 'back switch,' night crying, and 'crying when put down' phase—it seems better to include who this is for and what kind of problems they are facing.

I also want to start the introduction with a bit more personal experience.

They fell asleep. I put them down. They woke up.

For a while after the newborn stage, putting the baby to sleep was just this cycle over and over.

They would sleep while being held, but cry the moment I put them in the crib. Waking up many times in the middle of the night.
Even when I thought they finally fell asleep, my own body was already at its limit.

I'm summarizing the things that actually helped our family during that period.

I can't say these will work for every baby, but
so that you don't have to shoulder the burden of putting a baby to sleep solely on parental willpower,
I want to keep these as options.

Rather than just saying 'This is the best!', I feel that if I were the reader, I would trust it more if I also wrote about the parts that were a bit underwhelming.

Instead of selling products individually on Threads,
I summarized the things that helped me when I was at my limit with putting my baby to sleep
on note.

That's the kind of flow I'm using to direct traffic to my note article.

I feel like this format suits me better right now.

Instead of just pushing products through an affiliate account,
I'm cultivating a 'Summary of things I actually used' on note.

I hope that it will gradually become an asset,
and reach the people who need it.

Once again, I'm Natsu.
The theme of this note is 'Turning my whole life into note.'

Childcare, housework, home building, household budget management, and AI side hustles.
This is a place to record what happens in my daily life, organize 'what is difficult,' and create a system that makes things run a little more smoothly.
And, rather than just posting,


I will record and analyze this as an experimental log of multi-genre content creation based on my entire life. ▼ If you're curious about 'What kind of person is Natsu?', please check out my self-introduction.
