HIGH DOLLAR AFFILIATE MARKETING by Kevin Bidwell
One of the first keys to success in promoting affiliate
programs is finding a market niche.
A market niche is any segment of a market where you can
reach people effectively with a product or service they will
want to buy. Let me give you an example:
I used to live in a little town of 700 called Tollesboro. In
that little town was one over-priced, under-stocked grocery
store.
And it was ALWAYS busy.
Here's why: The next nearest grocery was 20 minutes away.
Most of us wouldn't drive that far just to pick up a bag or
two of groceries.
So the little over-priced, under-stocked grocery did very
well because they had a unique market.
If you want to make money, sell water in the middle of a
well-traveled desert. Sell people what they ALREADY want.
How can you find out what people are looking for and WHERE
they are looking? Here are some keys:
1. Use solid online tools.
People have already done much of the hard work for you in
determining what people are looking for. Here are two solid
tools you can use:
This tool will tell you exactly what keywords are being
searched for on a particular search engine and how many
other sites are listed for that keyword:

This tool will tell you how many people searched for a
particular keyword last month on the pay-per-click search
engine Overture. This is a great way to determine demand
for a product or topic:

2. Visit targeted forums and newsgroups.
Today almost every interest has its own forum or newsgroup.
By visiting these and reading the posts, you can quickly
see what those people are interested in, what problems they
need solved, what they are already spending money on.
For a primer on using forums and newsgroups, go to:

3. Keep an eye on culture.
Rosalind Gardner is a very sharp person. A number of years
ago she realized that internet dating was going to be a huge
trend in the years to come. She built a site targeted to
that market and now earns almost $500,000 per year from
affiliate programs.
You can pick her brain about exactly how you can do the same

Keep an eye on culture and you might see a huge opening.
Once you have identified a market niche, the next step is to
find a way to reach that particular group. If you can do
that, you are well on your way to making a good living from
affiliate programs.
