Choose the right niche and affiliate products to promote

While preparing to start promoting affiliate programs, you need to focus on two major keys which are:

• Find a productive niche;
• Find the right product to promote

How do you find a productive niche?

Most people use several ways to find a niche that would be so profitable for them such as:

• Google search;
• Common sense;
• Commission Junction; and many more.

Of all these, I would probably recommend Commission Junction (CJ) to search for a niche that is profitable for you. You can use the “Network Earnings” which is a green bar to search for merchants relevant to the niche that you want to promote. This tab indicates the earning potential of each of the merchants on the list. So, the deeper the green bar becomes, the higher the merchant’s earning potential.

How do You Find the Right Product to Promote?

Now that you’ve chosen the best and most productive niche to focus upon, it’s high time you started searching for the products you’re going to promote and there are some good ways in which you can go about that:

• You should find out what other niche-related bloggers have been promoting so far, wanting to know if the product is the right one to promote and whether you can make money promoting it on your blog.
• Check or find out if the product is highly demanding. You may use the Jaaxy keyword search to find out where demand is higher demand simply by checking the search volume for the search phrases.
• Then promote a product you’ve used yourself which you’ve tested yourself and found so profitable.
