How To Find A Niche Affiliate Marketing

Many new marketers who get into affiliate marketing initially are looking to earn easy money without really owning and running the actual business that sells the product. It sounds unbelievable, right? You basically just give affiliate links to a couple of content pages and traffic automatically starts pouring in. Next, you employ your own inbound strategies to drive even more sales and visitors to your site.

The problem with this approach is that most marketers fail in their affiliate marketing campaigns. Not, because they don't have good ideas; it's simply because they choose too many wrong niches. They try to get a big splash in one or two niches too hard. Here are some tips to help you avoid making the same mistakes that so many other marketers make:

Avoid using too many similar niches - Affiliate Marketing is all about is finding high converting, low competition niches to focus on. Think about how much traffic you will receive from each of those niche sites. If you only focus on one or two, then you will not get as much traffic (and likely no sales) as you could if you had expanded your search into several smaller niche markets. Your goal in your affiliate marketing campaign should be to locate as many profitable niches as possible.

Be very picky about what affiliate marketing resources you use - Pick a resource which offers excellent advice for choosing new niches. These resources should also provide you with step-by-step instruction to create a new niche with low competition, high traffic and unique value. I recommend using Quora for this. Simply ask questions about new niches and receive useful answers.

Use Twitter to get started - One of the most powerful ways to get started with affiliate marketing is by using social media sites like twitter. Start following other people in your niche and learn more about how they do business. Follow them back and comment on their posts. You'll soon start building a network of people who can help you get started with affiliate marketing.

Focus on low competition, high search volumes - Another common mistake that most beginners make is focusing on low competition, high search volumes sites as an affiliate. Most people don't have any clue what these are. These are the top 5 superstore websites that sell the most products. By focusing your energy on these websites, you will lower your competition and thus increase the chances of you earning more money. The more people who find your site, the more money you can earn.

Build your list - Don't forget to build your list. The biggest problem with affiliate marketing is the lack of targeted traffic. Without a good list of leads you will never earn much. So make sure that you take care of your list. Make it easy for people to join your list and build your email marketing list.

Get Quotes From Niche TV Shows - OK, this one may not be as effective as some of the others, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless. There are so many niches you can choose from and some TV shows get such massive audiences that it would be a shame not to capitalize on this. Find TV shows that are closely related to your chosen niche and buy affiliate links from these shows to promote. This will bring you more traffic and since most people watch TV shows in groups, it will be easy for you to target your audience. And once you get more visitors to your website, you will earn more money since more visitors equals more sales.
