UGC (User Generated Content) forums are spectacular for finding your target audience because they're filled with real people searching for real answers to real problems.

But what happens (especially early on with beginner affiliate marketers) is you find the perfect question on Reddit or Quora that fits your niche, you drop your affiliate link, hit 'post,' and then.. BAM!
