Niche Affiliate Marketing - Finding the Right Product
written by Dave
There are a handful of fundamental rules to follow in order to be successful when it comes to niche affiliate marketing. One of those rules is starting off by picking the right niche and products to promote from the get-to. With thousands of products to promote in any imaginable area of interest, where do you start and how do you know you are picking the right niche affiliate marketing product? That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Here's what I do:
Start With What You Know: I tend to be more successful with niche affiliate marketing products in areas that I know and are of interest of me. That's because I have a genuine knowledge of the topic, and therefore can create valuable information and give honest reviews. It's also a bit more enjoyable to work on something I am passionate about rather than knitting, for example.
Select and and Promote Products That Sell: That sounds obvious, but as you are searching for your next product, don't just promote the product that pays the highest commission. When you have the right product that converts customers, those small earnings quickly add up. Think about what type of people are online because they need the answer to their problems right now, and are willing to pay for it. Those are they affiliate marketing niches you want to be in.
Seek High Quality Products: Again, don't just promote a product because of it's commission structure. You need to make sure the product has tremendous value and is worth the money, otherwise you'll just experience a lot of returns. There's nothing worse than seeing your commissions taken away from you. I also make sure the products have a clean, effective sales page, and have a convincing follow-up strategy that can work in tandem with mine. You might want to see what kind of affiliate tools they have as well, such as articles, banners and sample emails.
Ability to Dominate High Volume Keywords: This may be the most important factor. Looking back at my career as an internet marketer, this is probably the one thing I wish I got sooner. Keyword research is not critical to getting traffic to your niche affiliate marketing product, but it sure does help.That's really in a nutshell how I do it. I spend a good deal of time doing my research, and then I get to work with building a squeeze page, writing followup/autoresponder emails, and submitting traffic. If the traffic comes and the product sells, I know I'm on to something and I start testing an AdWords campaign to help relive the affiliate article marketing.
