Experienced affiliate marketers know that the way to make money is to find a profitable niche market and then exploit it. If you cannot find such a market as an affiliate marketer then you are going to struggle to earn income, and income is the lifeblood of your business. Finding the right market will generate for you a steady stream of income and if you do not do your research and find a niche market then you will not become a successful affiliate marketer. Now you understand the importance of finding your market, the steps below will help you to identify niche markets that will generate incomes for you.
Identify a market that you have an interest in and if possible one in which you are knowledgeable. You are looking initially for a broad category such as self improvement, sports, health and fitness. Once you have identified your category you now need to drill down into this market to identify your niche.
Explore what smaller component markets are available within your market. By components i mean look for more focused areas of interest within the market. For example, for golf you may identify a specific niche within this market such as golf trolleys or golf clothing. You could even break the component down further into electric golf trolleys or golf waterproof clothing.
Once you have identified your specific niche you then need to find an affiliate product to promote। The easiest way to do this is to visit a company such as Clickbank, check out their marketplace for your niche, select a good fit product, sing up as an affiliate and get marketing.
The recent changes made to Adwords have put many affiliate marketers into jeopardy. Here is a brief overview of how things worked so we can understand the changes better.
Using the previous set of rules, affiliate marketer posted advertisements on Adwords. These ads too the prospect to the merchant site, directly. This meant that the responsibility of making the sale depended not on the affiliate but on the merchant. The affiliate, in effect, was nothing more than an Internet traffic provider. This also meant that the affiliate website had not real recognition for the prospects because they would become customers of the merchant and bypass the affiliate on their return visits.
However, the Super Affiliates among us did not function like this. They had their own personal websites that served as selling grounds. Here, prospects would be pre-sold a product by reading information, articles, reviews, and so on. There would be screen shots, videos, descriptions, even user discussions where relevant to let the prospect know everything about a product before deciding to purchase it. Such a website would offer some small free incentive in return for the prospect's email address. Finally, a thank you note would be the parting note before the user landed on the merchant website ready to make the purchase. By following this procedure, the affiliate/advertiser does not lose all track of the consumer once the latter has reached the merchant. The affiliate can use captured information to inform the consumer of future product releases, discount schemes, seasonal offers, and so on.
