The Best CPA Niches This Year...

38 replies
This year, people are going to be searching for specific solutions to specific problems, just like every other year. These are some of the niches that I think will be extremely profitable for anyone who wants to get into promoting CPA offers in 2010!

Anything related to money:


- Making money from home

- Getting out of debt

- Debt relief

- Mortgage advising

- Loan modification

And other hot "gadget" related stuff like:

- iPhone 4

- Nintendo Stuff (DSi XL, Wii, Etc)

- Hand Held Games

- NEW 3D HDTV

ALSO, going "GREEN" is a huge niche with tons of potential -- and it is only getting bigger and bigger and more popular...

2010 holds a lot of really profitable niches and offers that are going to be very popular!

What will you do to start promoting them and make yourself some money?

    This one is not going anywhere,

    While I am sure a million people have done way better than I have, I was able to pull in just over $340 K with those niches alone in 2009.

    I dont see them going anywhere, and I see their being huge opportunities for the networks to start investing in international TLD's

    The world is not getting any less expensive to live in,

      Great job Marc, $340k is excellent! You are right about the world not getting any less expensive... And the value of the dollar is falling as well... But there is still so much money to be made!

      I also agree with you that some of those niches aren't going anywhere -- Especially the ones related to making money or getting out of debt.

    All those financial deals are pretty stale in my opinion, unless it's business opportunity. The same niches always do better and continue to be scalable with my years of experience.

    The "trends" list you made is perfect though.

    Heres something to think about in terms of looking at "hot" niches and subniches.


    Scenario 1: You have a sub-niche that has a 100 million earnings potential but almost every major affiliate is running campaigns in that sub-niche.

    Scenario 2: You have a sub-niche with 1 million earnings potential but there are only a couple affiliates running the offers because its not considered a popular or hot niche due to the earnings potential.


    Which one would you make more money in???

    For the average person, flocking to the hot niches and hot offers isnt always the best way to proceed. Some of my most profitable campaigns have been in obscure marketing where I just dominate because no or few other big affiliates are promoting in the space.

    The lesson, just because a niche has huge earnings potential and has very hot offers doesnt mean they will be the most profitable for you. Generally there is more competition with the better offers, so pick and choose your strategy wisely.

      Hey Kenster,

      Thanks for your input! However, I find that so many people are "avoiding" these hot niches and hot keyword phrases because they think there's so much competition; while really, so many people are avoiding them that you have a great chance at ranking and/or making a good living with them.

      Of course, if you want to make MILLIONS of dollars in a specific niche or from a specific offer -- THEN you will need to start worrying about the competition... But to make decent money is a whole different story...

      $10,000/month doesn't even scratch the surface of what some big affiliates are making, but it would still be life changing for many people and warriors alike. With the insane amount of traffic that these niches/offers are getting, it is relatively easy to make a good living promoting them in my opinion and from my own personal experience...

      Best,
      Shane

        I have some campaigns (PPC) running in very competitive niches, and, yes, it's definetely possible to make some decent money with them even with many strong competitors.

        However, I'm trying to avoid the super competitive niches for my next campaigns. It requires much more money and effort to find a winner when we are dealing with things being promoted by the crowd. Of course, it's just my opinion and other marketers may feel more comfortable working with such popular offers.

        Anyway, the fact is that everyday I find out at least 2 or 3 people who are promoting or trying to promote the iPhone4. I think that 80% of people who buy my report about PPC and contact me by email want to use one of my methods with this offer. Everybody (except me) from the newbies to the super affiliates seem to be promoting the iPhone4. I know that the possibilites for this offer are huge, but I'm going to be honest, the competition scares me! (Ok, I exaggerated a bit here :p) Actually, instead of joining the party and start promoting this offer too, I prefer to look for other offers and take the opportunities that most marketers are overlooking because of the "iPhone 4 epidemy". I'm also using the trend, but in a reversed way.

        Yep, I agree. The point is that there is plenty of opportunity everywhere, not just in particular niches and trends. In general, there is more competition in the "hotter" niches. Does that mean you cant make astronomical numbers...absolutely not.

        There is plenty of money to be made in the obscure niches juse as much as the popular ones.

        Everybody has their own style when it comes to CPA marketing. Some people can do 10k plus a day in just the popular niche space and others do it in the obscure niches with unpopular offers.


        Find your own groove, but the point I was trying to stress is that you should keep your mind open because opportunity is everywhere...not just in certain niches and certain offers.

        May we all make millions!

        Thanks Shane and Kenster!

        I love hearing what others are promoting mostly because I find that sometimes I get tunnel visioned with my current campaigns and niches.

        Although there are all sorts of trends sites and tools out there to help us find new niches, often I get so busy that I forget to use them until I read threads like this with dozens of new niche ideas.

            Why would you want "old" website designs as opposed to new ones? I am sure you can find templates that can be used for any niche or even niche specific templates...

            Also, if you use a direct linking method like I teach in my EASY CPA CASH course, you don't need a website at all!

          Roger, thats a great point. Voluntary tunnel vision is good. The ability to focus on a campaign or niche at will is a good thing as it limits the many distractions there are. But when you can't turn this tunnel vision off and see the whole picture and the other opportunities out there, that can be trouble.

          To your success and prosperity buddy

      Anything WAP related is going to be very popular in latter part of this year. The problem is most networks don't have WAP formatted offers just yet. The ones that do will rise to the top.

    Here's the thing that always gets me and I would love to get some input about how you people are profiting from this kind of niche list.

    In general, I get how to market to an uncompetitive niche like "how to tain your zombie" or something with low competition and I've got all the tools to try and find high-volume long-tail keywords for that niche. But when you're dealing with a niche like iPhone4 or Nintendo Wii, what I'm wondering is how do you go about marketing and making money from a niche as competitive as that?


    Basically, what I'd love to hear from a couple of you that are making money in these very highly competitive niches is:
    1. Do you look for long-tail keywords with high search volume and low competition and make up a "review" kind of sites with affiliate links?
    2. Do you do PPC- kind of advertising and just link to a product page?
    3. For example, say the iPhone4, where do you find a retailer to make money from when you refer them the sale? And how can those (relatively) small comissions equal something like Marc-M's 360k a year kind of figure?
    ... Basically, I get that we're dealing with highly searched products and keywords, but I just feel it rather daunting to place well enough on google for those kind of keywords and wouldn't even know where to make money from them even if i did place... What am I missing here?

      I don't understand what the confusion is about... When a niche is as HOT as the iPhone 4 or Nintendo Wii there is A LOT more room for EVERYONE to make money. Whereas in a niche like "How to Train Your Zombie" you would have to seriously worry about the competition, since there are barely any people searching for this type of product/service.

      If you are trying to make MILLIONS of dollars in the iPhone 4 niche or Nintendo Wii niche, then I could understand your complaints about the competition. But if you are just looking to make a decent living ($1,000 - $10,000/Month) you can definitely achieve that without having to worry much about competition. With so many millions of searches being done for these items, you would only need 0.01% of the traffic to make decent money!

      For the iPhone 4 and Nintendo Wii niche in particular -- when it comes to CPA -- I promote the "FREE iPhone 4" type offers that only require a zip or email submit. This is a CPA thread, it doesn't refer to selling actual iPhones and earning commissions... That would be affiliate marketing.

      I make money in these niches simply by putting the content out there! I write articles, submit them and make money! It's as simple as that... No need to build walls or barriers before they even come up.

      Best,
      Shane

        Thanks Shane - Good point... I guess it just always seems like there must be some kind of magic way of doing things.

        As for your saying that you promote things like the "Free iPhone 4" offer, that's the kind of thing that you make like a few cents per lead, right?
        ... IF that is the case, it just seems like you would have to make a TON of different such promotions to make any kind of real money, no?

          Thanks for your post Ori,

          For the CPA offers for "FREE" stuff, I make $2.60 per lead. I only need 39 leads to make $100/day which is $3,000/Month. So no, you do not necessarily need a "TON" of promotions to have success...

    Hi everyone new here but thought I would just chip in with my experience only been doing CPA few month just running free sign up type offers ranging from $3-11 a lead and I find these really easy to make money with, already anywhere between $150-200 a day and still at work full time best move I ever made getting into cpa, the last 3 months I have just been spending my usual wage and banking all affiliate money.

    I know I am new here but would just like to give a little advice to people starting out if your not already making money get a day job and dont stop working till you exceed that ammount. The only reason I am still working is so I can save save save, the fact is you can make money with no money but its hard and can be very time consuming and the saying is very true Money Makes Money
