There is a great trend lately of marketers finally moving to niche markets and not just focusing on selling to the “make money” industry. This is an excellent move and one that will prove to be very profitable for you. However, a problem that many affiliates are hitting is that they don't know how to find good niche affiliate programs. If there isn't a program in Clickbank, most affiliates are lost! Also, since Clickbank doesn't allow us to “search” their database, it's too hard to find anything there.
Well, here is a quick and easy way to find any and all of the best and most profitable affiliate program for any niche you desire.
To find affiliate programs from now on you will use Google to help you. Google is a great tool to use because…
1. It's free 2. Any site that comes up on the top results is likely reputable and has been around 3. You get thousands of results you can search through 4. You can make your search very specific
Alright, let's discuss in steps, how to Google to find affiliate programs.
1. Go over to http://www.Google.com
2.Type your “Niche Title + affiliate” – This is the step that a lot of people can get confused in so let's clear it right now. Example/ If I am searching for an affiliate program on dog health, I will type this phrase into Google = dog health + affiliate
3. Now the results that I get, all the pages that have the term “dog health” and the term “affiliate” will show up.
4. Next open a program like Excel or just take out a piece of paper.
5. Go through the results in Google and keep noting down the different programs that come up.
6. Once you have 10 programs listed, go back and research each of them to find the most profitable one.
Try this strategy on search engines like Yahoo as well. You will get different results and combined between Yahoo and Google, there is no way that you won't find a good affiliate program.
What if you don't find any affiliate programs this way?
Then most likely an affiliate program for your niche does not exist. A great way to make money now is to contact a few of these websites and introduce the concept to them! Perhaps help them set up an affiliate script and share in profits – actually, if there is no affiliate program in that nice, you and that company can make BIG profits from it!
There, now you have NO excused not to find profitable niches and build websites for them. You can now find a profitable affiliate program for them all. How To Make $10,500 Promoting Affiliate Programs: I've heard some people say that no one is making money online anymore. Ever heard something like that?
Well it couldn't be further from the truth. I'm making plenty. So let's put that myth aside right now!
You see, not so long ago I was struggling to pay my bills, relying on a tiny income from a few web sites that I manage. The money would trickle in. $20 here. $5 there.
Then I discovered a technique that's made me as much as $10,500 in a single month!
While trying to find ways to make more money with my web sites, I was exploring affiliate programs. And I came across the concept of advertising affiliate products through Pay-Per-Click search engines.
The amazing thing was I didn't even need a web site to do it!
But paying for clicks? It sounded more like a way to spend money than to make it! Anyway, I decided that at the very least it was worth checking out.
The concept is simple.
1. Choose a product – one that has an affiliate program.
2. Set up an advertising campaign at a PPC search engine like Google and choose how much you want to pay per click.
3. Write a three line advertisement and add your affiliate link.
4. Whenever anyone clicks through your ad and buys the product, you earn a commission.
I started by conducting several test campaigns and quickly had one or two showing some early promise. Over the next two weeks I tested around 25 campaigns for a whole range of affiliate products.
Three weeks after starting I had several profitable campaigns. So I boosted these campaigns using some techniques which I discovered and discuss in my book Affiliate Adventure.
In my second month my net profit was a little more than $10,500.
That's around ?6,000.
Or $14,000 Australian dollars.
Not a bad paycheck. And I've been earning similar amounts every month since then.
Does it sound easy? Well, if it was too easy then everyone from your granny to the mailman would be doing it.
In fact, while the concept is simple, getting your campaigns to run profitably takes some expertise.
That's where my book, Affiliate Adventure, will really help you. It will breathe life into your affiliate marketing campaigns by telling you exactly how to get started in this business and which mistakes to avoid from the very beginning.
