Choose your first niche

Choose your first niche

I believe choosing the right niche is the most important task for a new affiliate marketer. Most people will tell you to choose something that you are interested in. That's not a bad advise. Some would say choose something which are popular, more people would be interested in. Before our discussion on how to choose your niche, let's talk about what would happen if you choose a wrong niche. Then you would realize how important it is on picking a right niche. I would suggest you spend a few days to think over it before you start building your first website.

If you pick the wrong niche. You will waste a lot of your time, effort and money; and then find out that it doesn't work out for you. It has happened to me before and I learned the lesson. For the following reasons: -

1. you run out of ideas to post new contents.

2. you are not really interested in the subject as you first thought.

3. the niche you choose is not something which will make you any money.

4. you have too many competitor online and they are much better than you.

5. you cannot help your visitor in any meaningful way, either give him good info or something valuable to take away. (Like an entertainer who can't entertain others, a doctor who can't heal a patient or a mother who can't look after her kids.)

To have a website that will be successful, you need to have high quality unique content. You need to introduce new ideas to the subject or new way to present the subject. Otherwise, you are no different from everybody and why would someone like to look at your posts. You need to stand out from the crowd. There are no luck involved. If you are not good then you will not be successful. All this has to been planned out before you even start building your website.

It might sound scary for you, but it will save you a lot of headache in your path to be a successful affiliate.

I am not trying to teach anyone here, but just to give you ideas on what you need to think about when picking your niche.

A question for anyone who are reading this post.

What is unique about your website and how you stand out from the crowd?

I wish everybody a good weekend!

Cheers,
