Step By Step Affiliate Marketing - Free Tutorial

What is a niche? Niche is a group of people with a problem, who need solution, either free or the paid one! So a Blogger who needs Automatic Content Generator, is a niche, or Real Estate Investor Looking to Buy Foreclosed Properties at the Lowest Prices Possible, OR A Mother of 4 Wanting to Have "FIRM" Chest again, or an Article Marketer, wanting to Dominate Google's First Page!

Don't ever start looking at the products in order to find a niche! You have to spend just a little time with your people in order to find out what their problem is. The best way to start is, by looking within yourself to see where you have some knowledge, it can be that you are decent golf player OR Car racer, or you know a lot about parenting. So you spend time with car racers, golfers, or parents. Those are the people you have to promote to, you have to connect with those people in order to make it a successful affiliate campaign.

Here is one thing. When you are researching your niche, you are not paying attention at all to the money. You just open a word document OR write down on the blank sheet of paper all their problems. Just list them all such as: juggling work and family time, getting the 2 year old to stop tumb sucking, how to improve behavior, how to lose weight, how to save money, how to get a better job, etc. Just list all the thing they have problems with. NOW, look within an area where normally they would spend some money on, but you actually will be helping them for free!

Why is it better to give out a free guide that solves someone's problem, compared to the paid guide? Simple! Paid guide, if it does not convert is a lost visitor. If you can capture the visitor with solving their problem for free, you can easily convert that visitor into the paid customer later on. But not just one time, many times over. You see, when you work with targeted niche, and you capture the lead, that targeted niche has probably 10-20 more problems. All you have to do is solve those problems with recommending some products ;). Which is called building a list!

I know, you are probably going to say, gosh how will I make money, now if you send traffic to landing page, there is 97% chance out of 100 visitors ONLY 3 will buy! However, if you send traffic to opt in page, and 50% people opt in, now you have those 50 people forever. (well yeah some will unsubscribe but many will stay for years!)

Now, I know this all sounds nice and dandy, but if you do not send traffic to your site, you will not make much money! So how do you send targeted traffic to your site? You can really do it with article marketing, forum marketing or viral traffic marketing! But you have to work with your niche to make the most out of it!

For example: If you niche is women who want to lose weight after pregnancy, your solution page will be safe diet and exercise plan after pregnancy! So all your articles will be based around women after pregnancy and the issues they are dealing with!

In the forums you are spending time in, they have to be women who just had babies, because "dad's" will not be looking for this information!
