Entering the business affiliation or association is simply enough, but too often, people mistakenly believe that it is much easier. Most times, the only thing you need to do to join an affiliate program and complete a form. This is the easiest part of the business. But something else must be done, if you really want to be successful.
The first is finding a profitable niche market. And this can be simple if you use the Google search engine or read some magazines. Let’s start with Google. Do a search for any of your favorite topics. Search news and articles in that thing where you hope to win. This is pretty important. Make a list of those things that interest you and do a simple Google search for each subject separately.
Take into account the sponsored ads. They will tell you what money is spent on this market. Now think a bit logical. As a business person, will you spend money on advertising if you do not gain from this method? I’m sure not. So, if any, the paid sponsored ads for a particular topic in Google, mean that the money is spent in this niche, which means that there are profits.
Same thing is true for journals and magazines. Make a visit to the bookstore and look at the last three numbers of your favorite magazine, in whose topic you are interested. Watch the ads and commercials. Same ads appear? If the answer is yes, then that means that the market is profitable.
But what’s up with the competition? Maybe you asked yourself this question. If we look at the statistics, 90% of people who register in an affiliate program, do nothing to promote the product. And of those 10% that promote their products, 90% do this wrong and do not earn much money. So the competition was very much reduced in size. You have to focus on promoting products or services and let the competition to worry about you.
Once you have chosen a market or niche, you’re almost ready to begin, but there are also some other things you need to do when you become an affiliate marketer. First you need to make sure you have all the tools and means necessary to do this. After this, you have to find the best affiliate programs for you, to understand the terms and conditions imposed by them, and finally you need to know from which programs to choose, because not all of them are profitable.11
