Niche Research With Facebook Ad Interests - Totally Free Method!

Finding a niche is difficult and takes a lot of time. Trying to find a niche that will make you money is an even bigger challenge.

It's a tough decision to make, and it's hard enough figuring out how to make money online in general. It can be even more daunting when you don't know what your passions are, or what type of niche would work best for you and your audience.

You are in luck today, because today I am going to reveal to you a little known tactic for finding remarkable offers in the niches that interest you the most, using Facebook Ad Interests. It doesn't require any special tools, or software. Just access to Facebook on your phone or desktop.

First, How Does Facebook Ad Interests Work?

Facebook studies what smartphone apps you use, and what websites you visit, and then places you into their select 'audiences'. Then businesses can use audiences to target you with their ads.

So chances are, when you are scrolling through the news feed you are being delivered ads from companies that are utilizing an audience that you were placed in.

Everyday Facebook Is Already Sending You Niche Ideas

You may be in the process of researching niche ideas, but are struggling to narrow something down.

You may not have realized it, but the ads that are showing up in your news feed are things you are interested in, or are browsing the internet about already.

I have often found that if I am researching or have just purchased a product online, usually about 24 hours later I am advertised several competitor products, many of which have lucrative affiliate programs as well.

Facebook Ads = Google Searches

The unintended byproduct of companies spending money on Facebook advertising to get in front of targeted audiences is prospective customers head over to Google to search for reviews or find similar products in that product category.

A lot of niche products are advertised on Facebook, and usually the vendors haven't really made substantial investments in SEO yet. This is really great for you because that means if you create review articles and buying guides centered around that product, then you will be able to bring a lot of customers with ease!

Furthermore, if the vendor of the affiliate offer is doing retargeting ads on the product, your chances of conversions will increase substantially. This is because retargeting ads continue to advertise to folks who were cookied to your affiliate link.

Here Is A Real Life Example:

There has been an SEO agency that I have been utilizing since January 2022 for my affiliate sites that are consistently turning a profit. A few months ago I noticed they were advertising to me with Retargeting Ads, even though I was already a paying client.

Shortly afterwards I noticed that paying customers who use their services have exclusive access to their affiliate program, kind of like Wealthy Affiliate.

Exclusivity and high barrier-to-entry of this affiliate program has made it very easy to bring them referrals through my blog posts because nobody else is making content about them.

What blows my mind is that their #1 target audience is actually marketing agencies looking to use them as a white-label service. Whenever I refer an agency, I get commissions on every site they onboard!

1 Agency referred with 10 clients at $350 per month at 20% commission = $700 income every month!

Considering I have affiliate offers where I bring in 50+ new customers every month, something like this could scale up fast!

I wouldn't have noticed or considered this affiliate offer if I hadn't noticed the were advertising to me on Facebook.

Pay Attention & Document

If you are seeking a profitable niche, I implore to follow these steps:

  • Pay attention to the ads you are seeking on Facebook.
  • Open up a Google Docs spreadsheet, and add the products that you see.
  • Check to see if they product you find have an affiliate program or not.
  • Verify with Jaaxy that people are searching for that product.
  • Ensure there isn't too much competition for the keywords you target.

You may want to focus on the products that have more lucrative affiliate programs first. But don't only focus on products that have affiliate offers, because often you can rank on page 1 for a lot of product reviews, and make mention of other product alternatives to the ones they are looking for reviews on.

When you have at least 3 good products you can write reviews and several buying guides recommending those products.

Facebook Has Already Done Half Your Research

Facebook uses a complex algorithm to place ads in front of you that you might be interested in. Fortunately for many of you, that's exactly what you need.

By presenting these products in their ads, they are already doing much of the heavy lifting for you when it comes to researching niche ideas.

I hope you found this helpful and will give me your thoughts down below!
