Are you looking to specialize in losing by exercise or diet changes?

One of the most money to be made marketplaces. The more competition the better.

Separate yourself from your competition. Find a high quality product that has good earnings per clicks and create yourself a free giveaway leading the prospect into your digital affiliate product in a way without selling so to speak.

After you have that all set build a landing page giving away your free report or whatever...

Send a little traffic and see how she converts. Once you have something that is working meaning they are opting in to your list and hopefully you have a decent conversions into your affiliate promotion. On the front end for first time visitors you can hit 40% or higher at times.

The make sure you have a personal email sequence set up to drip onto your prospect and you will get more buyers with that same traffic you already sent! At this point you have a well oiled and optimized funnel set up.

Now scale up your traffic!

What is nice about this market like you asked and having a list is you can suggest and selling both digital and physical products on the backend.

If i could, i'd probably try to be an affiliate for BowFlex, Jillian Michaels products, and even Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. (if possible). If none of these will suffice, i would pick a good weight loss product on a affiliate network, and market the heck out of it. There are tons of weight loss products out there. You can sell the most obscure weight loss product and make a killing from it (assuming that you have a backend marketing strategy). Even something as simple of a "hyped up" jump rope.

Use clickbank product but not the weight loss niche; It's oversaturated if you're just going to start.

What I advice you instead is to pick another product, check if the landing page is good (put yourself in the shoes of the buyer) if it is then go with it. Make a blog (one page site) and add a review content about the product, add some freebies to catch your visitors emails.

Now the promotion, The ONLY thing that works for me is the facebooks ads (80%) and bing ads (20%). Make a compaign and send visitors to your website, (not your affiliate link) I'm sure you'll find plenty of usefull informations here in the forum .

Good Luck

You can make a GOOD deal of money in the weightloss niche, but it his heavily saturated.

Find a good rebill product if you're wanting to go down that niche.

I also am in the weight loss niche, I am doing affiliate products working with ad copy for driving traffic to my website. You can easily take traffic from the top competitors in the niche by searching on google ( the one with the most traffic of course are the paid ads, usually at the top of the search screen. Check out similarweb.com they will do a competitors analysis and pretty much tell you where to place your ad, how your ad should look, etc based on the top competitors in the niche. There is a free demo of how it works on the site.

Hope this helps.

First, I would find a subniche that is fits the affiliate product I'm pushing like a GLOVE

Second, I would find diet blogs that use Disqus or Facebook for comments

Third, I'd find posts on those blogs that deal with the PROBLEMS solved by the product I'm pushing

Fourth, I'd post credibility-building content that opens the minds of people to the DOMAIN I redirect from.

Rritz,
This is one of the hardest niches if you go after search terms used by half of the world and my grandmother. I know a ton of weight loss since I was a former horseracing jockey for nearly 20 years and am a nutritional consultant today.

Without bragging, I know more than most dietitians since they preach theory but for me It was daily routine keeping my weight down at 51kg!

So I think if you want to become successful in this niche, go for a subniche and get educated so that you can start a blog with great content/reviews and get people on your list.

If you deliver real value you're list will grow fast and you will make serious money without having to compete with the big boys in the serp's.

Good luck!

If I were jumping into the weight loss niche I would check out some authority sites and figures that have already achieved success so I can do some form of reverse-engineering. Then I would put my focus into creating a brand that is known as the go-to-source for weight loss solutions.

- I would setup a blog and post amazing content daily.
- I would setup a YouTube channel and post amazing videos daily
- I would get involved in relevant forums and facebook groups helping people
- I would focus on building a list and building a relationship with my subscribers
- I would setup some Facebook ad campaigns and test....test.....test....
- I would monetize starting off with affiliate products and eventually introduce my own products and services

I like to keep things simple but of course each step will require to pay attention to detail, but don't try to be a perfectionist. Just focus on taking action and if you make mistakes, just learn from those mistakes and move on. If you want to minimize your mistakes, get a coach/mentor.

There are several "targeted" sub-niche markets, and http:/MarketHealth.com offers several CPA and revenue share products relative to "weight loss".

As mentioned above by myob, I am a firm believer; nobody needs to be weight loss guru to market weight loss products, simply locate "groups" on facebook, forums, google+, etc... And position yourself between the person seeking the solution, and guide them to the remedy. As it's been said; all the research, products, and information is out there, simply position it, market it, and "communicate it" properly... and 'viola'... You'll do just fine.

Someone mentioned "saturation" yada, yada, yada... I suppose they should stop selling gas on all four corners of intersections too, makes me cynical when I hear people cry;"saturatation" - there's over 11 Billion people in this world, and I'll be the first to admit; "my hose ain't big enough to soak em all, lol"

Since it's such a large and competitive niche, I would probably break down the demographics a bit, and focus on something like "weight loss for women over 50". Once this was making money you can move on to other demographics.

I'm in the same niche. Does anyone know any High End Products in the weight loss niche? I was sending emails to big guns(and small also) but no one replies.

weight loss is a darn big Industry

if you want to refer it as a niche ... expect gazillion of competetitors

instead ... build you brand

make people looking for you

social network a lot

I agree with the advice to sub-niche, violate that and you'll feel what it's like to get clocked in the head by an 800 pound gorilla. But when you sub niche, you choose the size and quantity of your competitors.

It's a competitive niche, but it's also very profitable!

I've seen many affiliates making really good money with weight loss offers. Diet pills and supplements are very demanded, especially for the market wanting to lose weight fast. There's always a new super food or weight loss ingredient trending and you can take advantage of this. Product reviews are very effective, especially for popular products. As others mention above, good content, workout routines, nutrition plans, etc, will also help engage your audience and could very useful when driving traffic from social media.

There are many weight loss offers at Moreniche network for this niche offering very generous commissions. Drop me a message if you are interested in more information!
