I need more information about niches and choosing products

21 Oct 09 3:56 pm

Hi!
It's up to you how many products you promote however, I recommend that you only sell products of a certain topic e.g if you are doing a website about dogs, only promote products about dogs because you are more likely to get sales from these products.
Hope this helps : )

Welcome to Affilorama :)

A niche is a category of people on which your product is targeted on. Your chosen niche will be the topic for your site and the products that you'd be promoting on that site should all belong to the same niche. The lessons on Market Research can help you identify a profitable niche. You could try to search the Clickbank Marketplace for products that you could promote on your website. Choose products with high gravity and good commission rates.

Can we acknowledge that finding a niche comes first? Before keyword research. Because it seems that most programs begin with keywords, particularly 'dog training'. And recommend 'keyword research in something you like or know'.

Huh? I want to 'know' that I'm starting out in a good niche. So with all these tools, can we acknowledge that the FIRST THING TO DO is go to Clickbank and pick a product based on gravity etc.. Maybe all subsequent steps take more time to understand / perform, such as keywords, sites, SEO etc... but they are all steps that you don't take until you are CERTAIN that your niche will be successful.

I would love to find someone who spends more than a paragraph discussing various affiliate marketplaces like Clickbank. And what current successful marketers are focusing on. I don't want to start out with what I like. I want to start out with something that sells. If its as simple as spending time on Clickbank, thats fine but does AB or any other lesson plan start with a walk thru for picking a niche.

I am after some information about about how to choose a product in Clickbank.

Mark gave away some tips in his presentation in LA (I think it was LA) on a recent video you had on the site. I think he stated the key rules for a profitable product on Clickbank. It was commission 60% plus (50% if recurring sales). I am unsure about the minimum gravity that he advised, was it 200? If someone could please advise I would be greatful. If you could also provide a some other things to consider then that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

A commission rate of 75% and having at least one product that has a gravity rating of 30 is recommended

I went to Clickbank after doing some research here on the forum and finding the answer for gravity. Another poster somewhere, sorry can't recall specific, said the formula was: Gravity 30, Commission 70%, $17.00 minimum sale. At Clickbank, I did the Advance Search where you can put in that formula and it brought me back results.

Why don't you test the waters first. Learn the lessons in affilorama slowly but surely and then go from there. If I may suggest, try this lesson...https://www.affilorama.com/introduction/ ... -a-website. You can post on blogs, forums, etc. without an actual website and still do affiliate marketing. Try different niches you are interested in, and see what works for you.

Hope it helps!

Competition is a good thing, you just have to do it right. how many seo rankings do you have? although you can get a little traffic from directories, search traffic is still going to convert better ( usually). also, try using other social platforms like hubpages and squidoo. if you use them right, you can get a lot of good traffic from them, and they don't take much more work than posting on directories.

Thanks for this advice James
