Let me give you an analogy, we see so many ads on busy roads or big junctions on billboards but we don’t really see ads or billboards on an empty road. Why is that? Obviously, because nobody really drives through the road, no company will advertise on those roads. Exactly like that, nobody will care to advertise on your website if your website does not have traffic. So your first goal as an affiliate marketer is to grow your followers.

Here’s the thing about having people visit your website, or youtube channel or an Instagram profile regularly, People will believe that if your content is interesting and entertaining or informative, The products you promote will definitely be useful, hence more sales and bigger commission. It’s all about understanding your audience and finding the right affiliate product that will help them. Second thing you cannot forget is that most products won’t even make you their affiliate, If you do not have a website, start building it today and increase your visitor list Even if you have an instagram account, make sure that it has great followers and there is a steady engagement to be noticed by brands.

The dedication and the will power you have for your passion will help you in Niche Selection. In simple terms, a niche can be described as the topic you are either very much interested in or have so much knowledge about. Does any topic come to mind while reading this? Great! But you should also need to look for “how it is going to work and grow in the market”. So make sure whichever niche you are thinking about is proved to bring in more visitors. But once the niche or the content related to the niche is not new or interesting, promoting it will prove to be unsuccessful. So, if you are choosing a niche, try to go for the one people who are interested in and the one you have more knowledge in, more than a niche of your choice only. Your Passion defines your niche How can you have both interest and required knowledge to make it work? Let’s say, you are interested in books and have enough knowledge on books. Remember, people will come to you because they know that you can provide value to them. They will first see if you have answers to their questions, and if you have knowledge, they will definitely stick to you. So, the above example actually describes how having no knowledge about a certain topic or subject can lead to many complications. Now, see if there are products that are available in your niche. Because having a niche and working towards it will not help you unless you have the right products to sell. Making sure that the topic you are choosing has products that are not just relevant for now, but in the longer run so there are options for you to promote and get income. Don't ignore Niche Scope Now that you have a niche, Search for it in Google and look if there are products in that niche. Look for a website that has a product within your niche and see if they offer affiliate programs in their websites.
