Affiliate Marketing - Is it possible to be successful in the fishing niche?
I made a list with all the things that I am interested in and came up with the idea to create a niche site about fishing tips/fishing gear recommendations, since I am a passionate angler myself. But this whole topic raises some questions and hopefully some of you can help me out finding the correct answers.
- Low ticket vs high ticket:
There are some contradictory statements about this. Some say high ticket is the way to go because you need fewer visitors/buyers. Others say low ticket is the best, because people tend to impulse buy and you don't need to build such a strong relationship to get them to buy.
In my particular case, most of the items in this niche are low ticket items. Apart from new Anglers who might buy a whole Set of Rod/Reel/Tackle most of the potential customers already have their basic gear and looking to buy tackle and smaller stuff (hooks, swivels etc.) - at least that is my concern. With an 8% commission rate and item prices between 5€-20€ I would need thousands of visitors to make this work, right?
Any opinions on that?
- Hard to get recurring customers
This refers directly to my first question. If my concern about the fact that most visitors would only buy low ticket items is true, how do I get them to come back? I would think that someone who bought some swivels and hooks through my partners online shop they would go back to that shop to buy more stuff, instead of going to my blog/niche site.
Any opinions on that?
I would love to get some insight from experienced Marketers on how to approach this whole thing. Do you guys think it is possible to make a decent income in that particularly niche? Maybe on of you guys is already active in the fishing niche?
