Hot Niche + Winning Product = Cash!

Confused about what to sell as an affiliate? Worried your affiliate marketing strategies will fail? It’s best to sell what people are already buying. Here’s how to find a hot niche and winning product.

Two Steps to Selecting a Hot Niche

Go to ClickBank and choose one of the nine categories. Whichever one strikes your fancy is good as you’ll find gold in all of them. Leave the keyword field empty and browse through the products using Sort by: Popularity. This will reveal which niches and products sell well.

1) Test interest level.

Look at the last item in the line under each product listed–grav. A big number after grav shows the niche has ready buyers.

Test this with the Google keyword tool where you search for a general term for the niche. If you chose the computing and internet category in ClickBank and see registry cleaners have good grav numbers, search for registry cleaners in the keyword tool. A monthly search volume of 5000 is good, more is great.

2) Test competition level.

First, look for at least three competing products in ClickBank.

Second, with your browser do a Google search for “registry cleaner” and see how many Google Ads appear on the right. Five or six ads is a good sign that affiliates make money from their ads.

Three Steps to Selecting a Winning Product

1) Look for healthy ClickBank statistics.

See the line of symbols/numbers in the ClickBank search results you got before? Here’s what those notations mean to you.

• $/sale — average amount earned per affiliate per sale, a number that can be driven down by refunds and chargebacks. If the number is less than the next number (we’ll get to that in a minute), it’s a signal that customers demand refunds. Not so good.
• Total $/sale — Go for a minimum of $20 to profit from your affiliate marketing efforts.
• %/sale — average percentage commission earned per affiliate per sale. You want at least 50%.
• %refrd — fraction of product owner’s total sales that are referred by affiliates. You want to see 70-90% as that suggests lots of affiliates make a generous commission on this product.
• grav: # — an estimate of the number of affiliates with at least one sale in the last 30 days. Look for a product with 50-100 which indicates affiliates do sell it, but not too many, so there’s room for you at the table.

2) Look for a professional sales page.

This is crucial to your success. Visit the sales page, read it and see if it motivates YOU to buy. Some great products have lousy sales pages that turn off customers. Pass up a bad sales page.

3) Check for ready affiliate marketing tools.

Go to the product website and check out the affiliates section. You don’t want to rely entirely on your own devices and have to invent enticements. A smart product owner supplies you with a wide array of tools like PPC keywords, ad copy, email ad copy, banners and support.

Did you find a product that passes all your tests? Congratulations! With this as one of your affiliate marketing strategies, you can now proceed with confidence that your efforts will pay off. What’s next?

Your tireless salesmen on the net.

You may already know that article marketing provides you with free traffic, establishes you as an authority in your niche, builds rank for your web site in Google, MSN and Yahoo, and creates the kind of content everyone searches for and gobbles up. Have you tried article marketing, but didn’t get these great results? If you don’t have much money, have little internet marketing experience, no product or are about to quit online marketing, hang on a second.

Would you like to make money with free articles, kick your site into overdrive and get top 10 rank in Google?

I found a $7 report that reveals how to:

• Find a Hot Niche and Select a Winning Product
• Target Keywords Your Buyers are Searching
• Write an Article that Converts
• Create Landing Pages
• Give Your Article Marketing Firepower to Supercharge Your Efforts
• Special Summary Bonus: 7-Day Article Cash Robots “Create, Release and Profit” Plan

This report is an instant download written by Davion Wong, a fellow who offers tons of great information, often for free. I’m impressed by his helpful products.

How Article Cash Robots Saved My Bacon

In Article Cash Robots, I learned how he goes about selecting a niche. Something about his method of how to find the “money” keywords clicked with me. I finally got it. What a relief after years of struggle. I don’t know how or why his explanation worked. I just know that now I can write articles and create products that are On Target.

I’ve paid more for other ebooks and received far less than what’s in this meaty report. No wasted pages here, just good clear useful information with screen shots so I could understand every step. I put it to work right away. His chapter on writing an article that converts readers to clickers includes everything from formatting tips to two great ways to do research and write FAST.

What’s Wrong With It

At first I was leery because his sales page makes big money promises that I thought bordered on hype. Then my jaw dropped when I saw his low price. In the report I thought he glossed over creating landing pages until I discovered it pays to click the links in that chapter. He shows sample live landing pages you can use as templates and offers free software to create an opt-in page!

If you’ve gotten nowhere fast with your article marketing so far and feel stressed out, just learn the step-by-step process this successful article marketer teaches. It’s how he built his business. This report gives a clear, concise method you can easily duplicate and make money with articles within days.

He ends the report with a 7-day plan that outlines daily steps to create a whole regiment of article cash robots that work to make money for you 24/7.

Best,

Find long tail keywords.

Hey, online home business owner. How’s business? Do you get lots of traffic? Are you making money hand over fist? If not, what would you give for these four benefits?

1) know how to best maximize a method of getting free traffic to your web site
2) establish yourself as an authority in your business niche
3) build rank for your site in Google, MSN and Yahoo
4) create the kind of content that sends you traffic from this day forth like the Energizer bunny

Wait, you say. What do you mean what would I GIVE? You said it’s FREE traffic.

And it IS free. Doesn’t cost you a single penny. Instead you expend your time and effort, but don’t worry, there are ways you can minimize the grunt work and maximize your results. What would you give for that?

When I bought Davion Wong’s step-by-step marketing system Article Cash Robots for $7, I finally understood keyword research.

I know I’ve been told time and again what to search for and how, but somehow it never clicked for me. What worked in the guru’s demonstration never worked for me. I’d get bogged down in wrong numbers, struggles and confusion every time.

Without the crucial “money” keywords, what good was my article marketing? Well, A) it was good practice and B) I gained premium status at ezinearticles.com, but my pockets were still empty.

So what two article marketing secrets did I learn for finding the “money” keywords?

First, open Google Keyword Tool External or Wordtracker and type in your niche.

Let’s say it’s golf. Golf is HUGE. No way can you rank with the word golf alone as a keyword. Scan down the list of results for a more specific phrase for what you sell. Let’s try golf lessons.

You want a three or four word phrase with 300 to 500 searches per month. I see a lot of possibilities, like golfing lessons, pga golf lesson, private golf lesson, golf lesson chipping, golf lesson dvd, and more. Grab all the keyword phrases with between 300 and 500 searches.

Second, check each one for competition with a Google search using allintitle: with your keyword phrase.

Like this–allintitle:private golf lesson. Look for numbers between 500 and 1000 because this is where it’s easy to rank for your keyword. Any lower numbers are better yet.

My search today for allintitle:golfing lessons shows 7,340 pages with that keyword phrase. It seems like too many competing pages, but let’s see if that number is true using a trick I learned from Travis Sago, chief bum marketer.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the last page in the list from 1-10 or 1-20. In this case there were 7 pages. When I clicked on 7, I landed on a page that said 301-398 of 7,340 pages. You can’t get past this page, which means only 398 pages show in Google for the phrase golfing lessons.

It’s less than the 500-1000 target, so this is a great long tail keyword phrase even though it’s only two words. I see other people have articles for this phrase.

Let’s try allintitle:golf lesson chipping and see what happens. Ah-ha! Today’s search finds 331 competing pages, and when we verify that, we find 341. I see many videos and no articles. Chipping must be hard to convey in written words?

Check the other keyword phrases from your list. Get at least 30 good long tail keywords and see what it takes to rank for each one besides good numbers. Do your competitors create articles, videos, or what?

Armed with great long tail keywords and this knowledge about what the competitors offer, you can now write articles and/or make videos to boost your online home business and laugh all the way to the bank. You’re welcome.
