How to Choose Profitable Niches Product and Keywords For Affiliates

How to Choose Profitable Niches Product and Keywords For Affiliates

Choosing the product to promote is really critical to how well you perform. The only way you make many sales is when you promote high ticket items ( Items or products that have a high value and cost) or products that is high in demand. But there are many different products in different markets. Its called niche in internet marketing.

For example we have the health niche which include the diet and weight loss sub niches. We have online marketing niche, arts, ant/entertainment, business, computer, parenting, cooking etc. Each of these niches could further be sub-divided into many more.

To get good idea of niches, go to Clickbank.com and look at the categories in the marketplace. Those are different niches.

But products to promote in a niche here could be physical or digital product. For instance in the weigh loss niche, you could promote a dumbbell and also a fitness eBook. One is a physical product while the other is a digital product but they are products in the same weight loss and fitness niche.

Now you need to find which of these many niches are profitable. When I mean profitable, I mean products in a market that is in high demand.

I recommend that you go after a niche that has the potential to be the most profitable, you also need to be willing to publicly associate yourself with that niche and do whatever it takes to bring value to.

You will need to put yourself out there as an authority in that niche. Choose a topic you can push through without losing interest. Topics that you would love to learn more about and immerse yourself in? That’s the way to make money online.

(You need to take a look at my 10 pillars of online business and you will that it applies here too).

The best niches for me include niches such as diets and weight loss in the health super-niche, embarrassing problems, quit smoking, make money and medical issues to name but a few.

Most of the consumers in this niche are looking for a ‘magic bullet’ (or magic pill in the case of weight loss) and aren’t really willing to put the effort into losing weight, making money online or improving their confidence so they can meet the opposite sex for example.

These are hot ticket niches. You can promote a combination of physical and digital products in any niche you choose or just go with one class of product.

I love the make money online niche. I have passion for it and its something i cannot lose interest in. it is also very profitable. So its possible for me to promote products in the make money niche on Clickbank and on Jvzoo.

I used to be very active in the weight loss niche. That was the first niche I went into and I was ranking for some long tail keywords that bring in few sales here and there.

I fell in love with the make money niche and I have since been promoting ever good make money offer.

After choosing a niche, you need to find out how profitable a product you pick to promote in that niche is doing. You don’t want to just promote anything just because the niche is a very good one.

You need to find out if the particular product is selling well because that’s the only way you make sales and get commissions.

So to start with product selection, you need to do some keyword research.

Keyword Research with the Google Keyword Planner Tool

Keyword Research with the Google Keyword Planner Tool

The best starting point is the Google Adwords Keyword Planner tool. This is a free tool, but it can only be accessed by signing up for a Google AdWords account. It’s absolutely worth signing up, as this tool has been the bedrock of SEO and keyword research campaigns for years.

The keyword planner provides some really good keyword research options. You do need a Google adwords account but that doesn’t force you to advertise. One thing to be cautious of is the keyword match types.  You can only view the average quantity of searches using an ‘Exact’ match.

Once you’ve narrowed down a list of queries that visitors would ideally use to find your chosen product, you’ll want to enter those into the keyword research tool. By doing so, you’ll discover whether people are actually searching for those keyword phrases. You’ll also be given a large list of related queries that you can use to form your final list of terms.

For example lets say you have decided to promote “Kindle devices” on Amazon. The ideal phrase that should come to mind would be “Kindle devices” or “Kindle device” or “kindle gadget” or “Kindle”. Just pick one and type it into the product and service box.

Make your country USA just to see the search volume from that country. (US is the country with most buyers of items online and its always used to check how profitable a product will be)

Click “get ideas” and pick “keyword ideas”. You will get the volume of searches per month for the keyword you enter and also related keyword phrases. A product with average of monthly searches close to 700 like this one is a good product to promote.

After doing keyword research and i have products to promote, all you need to do is choose one. However there are other things to do beside keyword research using the keyword tool.

What you need to also do is look out for some metrics the affiliate networks use to give affiliates a guess of what is profitable. Its different for each network.

When I was promoting Amazon products, I would constantly look at the best sellers in each category and see if I could build something around that. I was promoting weight loss products like diet pills, fitness DVDs and fitness tools.

What i look for include

1. If product has at least 4 stars out of 5. The higher the rating, the more likely people will buy.

2. If product has lots of customer reviews.

3. High Priced products

4. High number of global searches

5. High number of local searches (United states)

For Clickbank products, here are some key things to look out for when choosing a product to promote:

1.     Try to find products that payout 60% to 75% commission

2. Make sure the landing page has quality design with video and a ad copy

3. Make sure the products offer good support and advice for affiliates

4. Look for plenty of resources such as keyword lists and good banner ads.

2.      

For most, they will simply choose the best selling products to sell after deciding on a particular category in the Clickbank marketplace. But in order for you to maximize your earnings, the approach should be selling the products with the most profit margin, not necessarily products that are easy to sell.

One useful indicator most marketers and even Clickbank suggest is gravity. The higher the gravity, the higher the chances of making sales. While it works sometimes, some days I just pick products that has a nice looking sales page and good copy.
