Affiliate Niche Products

Affiliate Niche Products are everywhere.  You can sign up for free at clickbank.com and find all sorts of niche products. 

Let’s say you are looking to start a site that sells a product on dog training.  Simply type “dog training” into the search on that site and find affiliate programs on dog training or whatever you are looking for.

Also, use Google.com Simply type in affiliate program: “keyword”.  Search to find if there are any affiliate programs in your desired niche.

If there are, then sign up for their newsletter and maybe even purchase their product.  How is their sales page?  Can you create a better one?  How is their product?  Can you create a better one? 

You can also promote their products.  I recommend you set up your own site with an auto-responder.  Capture leads and subscribers to your list. 

For example, let’s say you are going to go after the “dog” niche.  Grab a domain name and get it hosted.  Write a nice sales copy where you offer to give away some valuable information for free.

Then have the visitors fill out your auto-responder form in order to receive the free information.  Your auto-responder is to be fully automated.  Your first email to them will provide a free report or article on “dog health” as an example.  Your next email should pitch an affiliate program you are representing.  You may be representing a “dog training” affiliate program.

Since you have subscribers who are interested in “Dogs”, then you can search to find other “pet” or “dog” affiliate programs and pitch those to your list as well.  You may also decide to create your own product and sell it to your list.

By using this technique, you grow your list along with making money selling affiliate products.  You may then decide to cross sell your list.  If people are interested in dog training, they may also be interested in other pets, such as fish, aquariums, birds, etc.

The “dog” business is a multi-billion dollar industry, so you should have no problems providing your list with valuable information and products or services. 

You may decide to install forums on your site as well.  Forums help with traffic and search rankings.  Start small and grow your forums over time.  You may use Google Adsense to further monetize your business.

One more technique you can use is up-selling your customers with affiliate programs.  Let’s say you create an ebook on “dog health”.  Once a customer buys your product, you can offer them a “dog training” product (which is an affiliate link).  You just increased your profit from that one customer by providing a simple link to a product you fully recommend.

Some will buy the affiliate product and some will not.  However, it’s increased profit.

I also use affiliate programs as a way to create my own products.  If I have an affiliate program that is profiting well for me, I may look to have an ebook written that is in the same niche.  For example, I can easily post a project on scriptlance.com for a writer to provide me an ebook on “dog training”.  Once that book is finished, I own it forever.

I can sell that ebook on ebay.com or where ever I chose for years to come.  I already know that the affiliate program worked for me, so my own product should work as well.  In fact, if I’m promoting an affiliate product that sells for $47 and my commission is $27, then I can create my own product and make the full $47 instead of the $27 I was making.
