Hustle Hack #35: One Link Rule

The “One Link” Rule

Here’s a hard truth: too many links = no clicks.

It’s called “decision fatigue.”

When you throw 5 different affiliate links into one piece of content, your audience freezes.
Which link is the best?
Should they click the software or the book?

Instead of choosing one, they choose none.

Solution: stick to the One Link Per Piece rule.

👉 In a blog post, highlight one product. Share your story, explain why it matters, and repeat the link naturally a few times. You can change up the wording on the link, but don't change the promised solution.

👉 In an email, build up curiosity and end with a single CTA button. Add a PS if you want to drive home the offer.

👉 In a social post, share one benefit of one product — not a roundup of five.

Example: Imagine you’re writing about meal planning.

Instead of linking to five different planners, stick with the one you use and love.
Your authenticity sells it, and the clear CTA makes it easy to click.

✨ Your Hustle Hack: Fewer choices create faster action. Keep it simple, and your conversions will skyrocket.
