A valid niche for a blog with a focus on affiliate marketing

Either way it's going to take a while to get traction unless you're advertising, so it's good that you've chosen something you're interested in.

Affiliate marketing is a smart way to monetize it - but maybe look at Clickbank products in addition to Amazon.

Here's how to do it:

Send targeted traffic to a blog post > offer them a freebie to subscribe to your mailing list > promote relevant affiliate offers.

I see a lot of bloggers throwing up banners and ads for products, without sending them into an email list first.

When you do that, you get to promote as many offers as you like as often as you like.

Apart from Amazon look at other health affiliate offers from Moreniche, Sellhealth, Market Health and even Clickbank. Try to promote residual recurring products and start building an email list that you can market to repeatedly.

Select some product form Clickbank or JVzoo and write some fresh quality content about the niche ( Health, Meditation and Dieting ) in your blog, it will generate some good income.

.

I my opinion its best to choose a niche where you have the most passion and you can create content about it .For example if you choose yoga you will divesify the niche with diferent articles etc .Many people think in most profitable niche but if you dont have knowledge and you cannot create continuos content you will loose .Content its king

What is you have a strong interest but not enough expertise to write new stuff about it ? Can you be successful by researching and commenting on content that exists ?

I agree that you're going too broad.

What type of health issues?

What kind of diet? Paleo? Raw food? Ketogenic? There are tons.

Yoga or meditation? I don't think you want to try and cover both.

There are some broad blogs on these topics but I think you'll have trouble competing.

Look through Clickbank and find products you would feel good about recommending. This can help you narrow your focus. If there are no good products then it's not a good niche.

Health and fitness is the most popular niche for blogging. You can promote products from other affiliate networks like ShareASale, Clickbank, CJ etc. You will find many affiliate programs related to your niche.

Pick 1 of those niches you feel passionate about G. Just one.

Then focus all of your attention and energy on giving. Not getting. If you hire a writer early on, pay up for a skilled, pro, inspired writer who publishes sensational content related to solving problems in your niche.

Then promote other top bloggers from your niche through social media, through your blog and through other features. Comment on their blogs. Befriend them.

After you have developed your skills, and have built your friend network some, then choose affiliate products that you feel passionate about and that fulfill the specific needs of your audience. When you have a big, loyal reader base, they can pad your pockets if you sell products that are moderaly priced, high-priced or even lower-priced. Because they are loyal, repeat buyers.

If you want to kill it in blogging, develop your writing skills daily, by writing in a Word document for practice. Then you will gain the confidence and clarity to wow your readers, and wowed readers tend to buy your products - Amazon or otherwise - or hire you for your services.

Give like 0.0001% of your attention to picking an affiliate product now, Give 99.9999% to developing your writing skills, to producing helpful content and to building your friend network. From my nearly decade's worth of experience, when you are seen as a problem solver and have a big network of buddies, you will generate steady affiliate sales and heck, will make money through virtually any stream, because once folks trust you, they buy from you, with no second thoughts.

Either you make a generic niche site or a sub-niche site, both are pretty much the same when it comes to getting success in affiliate marketing. You can be successful in each of this platform. However, if you are just a beginner, it is but practical to start with a sub-niche site as this kind of website helps you get things more easy and faster because you are more focused.

Keep in mind that there is a big world outside of selling products and services.

I've been promoting affiliate / CPA offers for over 16 years.

I heavily promote PPL (pay per lead...lead generation) offers. This is because there is no credit card / purchase required to complete an offer. All a user has to do is fill out a form, so conversion rates are typically much higher compared to offers that require a sale to be made.

I favor offers that have a make, get or save money benefit to them, as they have overall worked the best. They also tend to have the greatest mass appeal (will be of interest to a large general audience), so the potential exists to produce high volume.

Some of the verticals (niches) I have done extremely well with are: education, insurance, loans, debt, credit, mortgage, assistance, discount offers, homeowner offers, etc...

The bulk of the offers that I promote pay $20-$40 per lead, but I also promote offers that pay more and less. You don't want to get too caught up on what an offer pays because how well it converts is just as important. For example, if you have an offer that pays $9, but if it converts at 2X or more of a $20 offer, then it will perform about the same or possibly better. At the same time, if you have an offer that pays $90 and it converts poorly, it may not even be worth promoting.

Bottom line is that it's far easier to get someone fill out a short form than to get them to pull out their credit card and make a purchase. So why struggle with trying to sell this or that, when you can provide free information that users want/need and get paid well doing it.

Something to consider when deciding about affiliate niches.

Have you ever heard of Budokan?

Thanks everyone for the high quality and very helpful replies. I really appreciate it, and I have learned a lot.

Political gossip is a pretty hot topic these days and probably will be as long as Trump is in office. Lots of angry and/or passionate, even paranoid people out there looking for the next juicy topics. As long as your affiliate offers match your audience, could be fun.

You will find a lot of profitable product on Clickbank relevant to your niche. If you have enough targeted traffic to your niche, you can easily make a huge amount of money from it. But health, fitness, weight loss, diet etc keywords are most competitive. You should work with low competitive buyer keywords to get a faster result.

Keep earning the bread and butter while you gradually build this. Also, build email subscribers. Put the name of your blog in the email title as it may be mistaken for spam otherwise. Run competitions to draw people. More likely to get spread virally.

Choose the niche that you are going to
talk about in your blog.

Because when you have information
about the topic and you share it and
start to bring valve to people, they will
want to go with some one who know's
what is he talking about.


those niche are hard to go with but....

if you will put the effort and provide some
good quality products plus value and mix
it up with some good SEO and advertising
you can start see results,

but it won't happen in a day it will take time.

so put that in mind(no matter what niche
you will go, everything will take time and
afford).

Now just focus on one top 2 niche.
If you take a lot of topics you will
get so confused that it will be hard for
you to promote it.

I have had good success with Sellhealh.com and Markethealth.com

Digital marketing, cybersport, games...

a DEEP Market Research is often understimated.

You have to focus also considering a minimum of 5K researches on Adwords Keyword Planner.

With medium/low competition. Look also for Traffic Travis: free tool which gives u an insight.


AND Facebook Audience? Go to facebook ads and look for audience insight for your keyword.

Focus on Diet OR Yoga, health OR meditation, and which health? paleo recipe? vegan? Go narrow.

before affiliate i think comparing prices is useful
try elprices.com

Once you do have traffic coming in, make sure you add an exit intent pop up to capture your exiting visitors to your email list.

Use a different lead magnet for the pages that are in the different top level categories like "yoga".

Then start following up via email.
