Affiliate Marketing Networks These are the typical affiliate marketing networks you can join 1. Clickbank 2. Peerfly 3. Amazon Associates 4. Commission Junction 5. Shareasale

So in other words, instead of talking about fashion, you want to talk about nothing but high heels. That s what a niche is all about. You don t want to find a niche that is too narrow.

3 Choosing Your Profitable Niche Choosing a niche is the most important part of this whole process. The more connected you are to the niche, the better chances you will have at succeeding in Affiliate marketing. A niche simply means a group of people. So in other words, instead of talking about fashion, you want to talk about nothing but high heels. That s what a niche is all about. You don t want to find a niche that is too narrow. You want to choose something that s still somewhat broad. Like the High Heels example. There are many places where you can find your niche. You can perform a Google search; niche ideas for X. This should give you a good idea what to talk about on your blog. Click this website for an example of finding niche ideas. You can use this method to find plenty of Niche ideas. This isn t a hard process even though it s very important. Don t allow anyone to over-engineer this process or any other process. Just find a niche within an industry and stick with that niche.

Choosing A Niche One of the most important aspects of choosing your niche or topic is your Reason For Being. This means a reason why your website exist.

4 Choosing A Niche One of the most important aspects of choosing your niche or topic is your Reason For Being. This means a reason why your website exist. Without a clear reason for being, you re dead in the water. The question you should ask yourself is, Why sould someone take the time to visit your site, The clearer and more specific your Reason for being is, the better content will be and the better experience your visitors will have. A very example is a review site. A site reviewing cofee makers would have a Reason for being that compares different coffee makers. An even better way to make this review site effective, is to talk about Home Espresso Makers. Even though this niche might have a low number of people looking for this specifically, it would be much easier to get and convert visitors looking for Home Espresso Makers. Here are some examples of Reason for being: Review and comparison sites How To and tutorial sites Top X and best of sites The best part about all this is, you don t have to be an expert in your niche. If you don t know much about the chosen niche, then you can simply learn and beome familiar with that niche. Here is a summary of how to choose a good niche: 1. Where to begin: brainstorming -create a list of potential niche candidates. 2. What makes a viable candidate? -not too big, not too small 3. Availablility of affiliate products and/or services. -You can look on sites like Clickbank and Amazon and Commission Junction to see if your chosen has products available in that topic.

How To Choose A Profitable Product Now it s time to select a product you want. I highly recommend that you look through sites like Peerfly, Clickbank to start out.

5 How To Choose A Profitable Product Now it s time to select a product you want. I highly recommend that you look through sites like Peerfly, Clickbank to start out. These are market places you ll use to find various affiliate products to promote. There are two types of products to promote, Digital and Physical. The easiest products to promote are digital ones. They are usually quickly accessable and downloadable. These consist of ebooks, guides, video courses or softwares which involve no shipping and usually have high commission payouts % There are some fundamental principles to look at when selecting a product. 1. High Commission (50-75%) 2. High converting sales letter 3. Quality product that you would wnat to buy 4. Proven marketing tools ( ads, graphics, etc) 5. No cost to join Every product you ll find in the clickbank marketplace costs nothing to promote, so you re in good shape at this point. You could tell if a product is popular among affiliates, which is a great clue for determining whether or not you can make money from it. Here are four factors that Clickbank uses to detmerine whether or not a product is good: 1. $Earned/sale: This is the average net amount earned per affiliate per referred sale (including refunds). 2. %Earned/sale: This is the average percentage commission earned per affiiate per referred sale. 3. %referred: This is the percentage of publisher s total sales that are referred by affiliates. 4. Gravity: This is the number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring a paying customer to the publisher s products. If you re impressed by what you see in a product, and it gives a real solution to your problems, add it to your product portfolio. But before you promote, I strongly recommend that you buy every product you promote... here s why: 1. To make sure you selling something that has true value. 2. You can also summarize the product and develop an ebook and give it away as a free report. Or you can drop tricks and tips that learned within the content of the product you purchased. There s a lot you can do here.

7 Seamlessly Build Content Since the free services are extrenely self-explanatory, I won t go into detail about building your site. Building content is one of the most vital parts of the process. If you don t have good content then you won t get any sales at all, period. Let s explore the basics of content creation Basics of content creation When writing your content, you must write to your audience as well as for Google. This simply means that, the topic you choose will ultimately be revolved around the keywords that Google will look at and add to their search engine. This simply means when people search for your niche keywords, they should see your site show up. This should be kept in mind as you build your content. It does you no service to write randomly on topics that aren t related to your site s theme. It s only beneficial for you to understand what your topics are (keywords) and write around solely around those topics. This should undoubtedly be the theme of your site. Here is a basic format for your online writing strucutre: 1. Introduction 2. Body (Point 1, 2, 3) 3. Conclusion This is your basics structure. The introduction helps people understand that they have found what they were looking for, and then the body establishes why you re the authority within that topic. You have to create a mixture of images, videos and written to keep your reader s attention on the subject matter. The more you write, the better your writing will be. It s not rocket science to write, we all know how to write. We all have been writing since the first grade. So ultimately you want to be yourself and speak with your voice. Never try and bite off of other people who already have established their voice. Of course, you can learn the structure of how someone else is writing their content, but never try to copy cat off of anyone else. Find your voice and stick to that voice. The people will respect you in the long haul. When you conclude your post, you must deliver a call to action. This could be a simple request for people to follow you on Facebook or you can tell people to visit the Affiliate Product you ve posted on that blog pot.

8 Promote Your Content: Facebook Groups Now it s time to get the people to see your content. A great place to start is Facebook Groups. There are literally hundreds of thousands of Faebook groups out there talking about all sorts of subjects. You can join several of these groups and contribute content to them. I m going to warn you though. You cannot, I repeat, cannot spam these groups. Especially when they are having real discussions about the subjects they care about. If you have the same knowledge and passion for what they re tlaking about, you can just fall right into the conversation. The question is, how do I add my blog post to the discussion? Great question, here s how, 1. First join a group: 2. Introduce yourself 3. Start a discussion or add your point to a current discussion 4. Ask questions 5. Offer a solution or a resource that points back to your blog. These five items must be followed to the tee in order for you to effectively get visitors to your blog and gain subscribers and ultimately get sales. If you deveiate from implimenting any part of these phases, you will surely get the side eye from people in the groups and they will be totally turned off by what you have to say. The key here is subtlty. Don t be to hasty in these groups. Think about things this way. It won t do you any favors by getting banned from a group or turn off members by aggressively promoting on there. It s best that you take your time on there, get to know people and build relationships over time and gain authority in your niche. If you get banned you won t be able to make any impact and you will be back to square one. However, If you take your time and build relationships, you will be building something over time.
