| 49 | ### Without affiliate-skills |
| 50 | |
| 51 | - You Google "best affiliate programs" and get SEO spam written to rank, not to help |
| 52 | - You write content from gut feeling with no idea what format actually performs |
| 53 | - You have no data on what's trending, what hooks work, or what gaps exist |
| 54 | - You spend 4 hours on a landing page that converts at 0.2% |
| 55 | - You pick programs by vibes instead of data |
| 56 | |

| 59 | | Skill | Mode | What it does | |

| 73 | ## How It Works — The Affiliate Flywheel |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ``` |
| 76 | S1 RESEARCH ──▶ S2 CONTENT ──▶ S3 BLOG & SEO ──▶ S4 OFFERS & LANDING |
| 77 | ▲ │ |
| 78 | │ ▼ |
| 79 | │ S5 DISTRIBUTION |
| 80 | │ │ |
| 81 | └──────────── S6 ANALYTICS ◀─────────────────────────┘ |
| 82 | │ |
| 83 | ▼ |
| 84 | S7 AUTOMATION → SCALE |
| 85 | │ |
| 86 | S8 META (across all) |
| 87 | ``` |
| 88 | |
| 89 | **Closed loop.** S6 Analytics feeds BACK to S1 Research. Every skill knows what comes next (`chain_metadata.suggested_next`) and what feeds it. Data flows forward through the funnel and back through analytics. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | **Data-driven.** S1 skills don't just find programs — they scout what content is actually performing (views, likes, shares), analyze traffic, and rank angles by real engagement data. By the time you write, you already know what format, hook, and platform to use. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | **Research-backed.** Content skills don't write from thin air. `content-research-brief` collects real source articles first. Your posts have real stats, real quotes, and current information. |
