How Super Affiliates Pick a Profitable “Micro-Niche”

Day 1: Niche (rhymes with itch or quiche!

I believe the affiliates who are going to be the most successful and convert the most people are those who know how to pick a “micro-niche”. Let’s take some simple steps to figuring out what a “micro-niche” is.

First: List out as many niches as you possibly can. These are niches.

Dating, Fashion, Photography, Gambling, Politics, Religion, Science and Nature, Art, Travel and Vacation, Automobiles, Weddings, Weight Loss, Pets, Cooking, Crafts, Make Money, Real Estate, Bodybuilding, Sports, Health, Computers, Games, Kids and Teens, Shopping, and Don’t Forget Porn (oh no you didn’t).

I guarantee if you advertise any of these keywords, the price per click would price you so far out of the market, that you would lose more money than you would make. So let’s continue..

Second: People who spend money online are looking for solutions, answers, and cures to their problems.

Add some Benefit Words in Front (you can add to this list)

Advice, Aid, Benefit, Comfort, Cooperation, Corrective, Cure, Guidance, Help, Remedy, Service, Support

Third: Add the Person You Want to Help:

Me, Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, Niece, Nephew, Grandparents, Teacher, Firefighter, Neighbor, (long list!)

Fourth: Now take any three words from A + B + C.. It should look like this:

Help Me Dating

Final Step: Okay I picked, “Help Me Dating” and Now Add the Problem

No Motivation, Ugly, Insecure, Shy, Afraid of Rejection, Uncomfortable Meeting New People, Been Hurt Before, Negative Attitude, Not a Bar Fly, Low Self Esteem, Attract Losers, Parents were Poor Role Models, Too Busy, Work All the Time, Live with Their Parents, No Money, Too Expensive, New in Town, They Know Everyone,

Now put it all together: Help Me Dating Shy!

And there you have it! Your “micro-niche!” You can now create a site for Shy People Who Need Help Dating! How easy was that? Now, you can continue to Step 2 to becoming a Super Affiliate…

How to Find Profitable, HOT Subniches for Affiliates

Kit Elliott — Fri, 14 May 2010 15:55:29 +0000

For Affiliates Only

Hi there. It’s Kit Elliott with another great week for online profits! So I’m on the hunt for profitable “micro-niches” and using a simple keyword formula, I can usually find winners.

So let’s say you think you’ve found a winner and you run it through your normal gamut, and after 2 weeks – nothing. DUD!

Why is that? The product, the niche, the keywords all passed the initial tests with exciting profit potential.. What went wrong? It could be a number of factors. The gravity was too low.. the niche did not bring in “buying” customers.. Some niches (e.g. MySpace Skins) bring in a ton of lookers (which is great for Adsense) but horrible for affiliate sales. They are not “BUYING” customers.. So let’s go over how you can judge demand for a particular niche.

#1: Clickbank’s Marketplace: You can search the gravity. Gravity has always been a mystery to most people, but I think I have figured out a simple formula for gravity. I believe that the gravity is calculated by the number of affiliate sales in the past week or month. It’s a formula like this and I can’t remember if it’s weeks or months:

Number of Affiliate Sales in the Past Week: Count as 1 Point

As the weeks fade, then the 1 Point goes down to .9 then .8 then .7 then .6..

So you can see that the higher the number, the more sales affiliates are making! The gravity is a great place to look and my general rule is 50 and above.. You can still profit from 50 and below but that involves a completely new marketing plan. It’s like selling a high-end house. You wouldn’t apply a “wholesale” strategy when you could apply the “auction” strategy. Ask me about it sometime! :0)

#2: Amazon.com: You can actually search Amazon by popularity. Let’s say that you find a niche.. head over to Amazon and search the niche’s popularity. Then, the products for that niche will come up in order of popularity! This shows you what topics, what pricepoints, how to position the sale.. FOR FREE!

#3: Articles and Google: Same strategy for Search Engines and Article Directories.. because have you noticed that the two are starting to become one.. Everyone is spinning articles and getting first page rankings for crappy content.. It’s driving me nuts when I need to find something fast.

But you can actually see what your competition is doing by seeing how they position the sell, how they design their landing pages.. just do what your competition is doing!

And if you don’t know the “keyword” formula for picking a winner, comment below!
