How to startĀ with Affiliate marketing…
With the economy the way it is right now,a lot of people are looking to make money with affiliate marketing.
But it can be a hard process to find the right niche or product to promote.
Often, new affiliate marketers are tempted to join the latest and greatest product release, expecting to make a ton of money. Unfortunately,they end up not making any money and they give up with affiliate marketing before they have given it a chance to succeed.
The ideal way to proceed with affiliate marketing is to find a product which is in demand but has few people promoting it. This is perfect for beginners.
The experienced marketers have all the tools and the money to invest in advertising, you don`t.
So what you should do is to go for products,(which may give the same result for the clients),but products that fewer people are promoting.
It will be much easier to get your website listed high in the search engines if there is a smaller amount of people promoting the same product. This also would provide you with a greater chance of earning money faster.
In order to find the right affiliate product, you have to define your niche. How do you go about finding the right niche?
I will try to resume it in a few words:
-Find something you are passionate about
-Find something you have knowledge about
-Find something that is in demand
I could go on and on, but if you want more details,
You can have a look at a previous Blog: 5 Steps to Follow To Find The Best Niche
But I will give you an example with the health and fitness affiliate programs.
That term itself is a very broad subject and trying to rank for it,is almost impossible. But on the other hand, there are a lot of sub-niches on that subject,revolving around that term.
That`s where you should focus your research,that`s where you will find a more profitable product to promote.
Try to be your potential client. What could he be looking for?
What are his need when he is searching on Google? What could you offer him that could solve his problem?
But if you could put yourself in your client`s shoes, and could read his mind, wouldn`t that be wonderful?
You can, almost…
Let`s say your potential client has a health problem…If you make a search for health products for example,this is too broad.
One of the best way to see if your niche has the potential to solve your client`s problem and to be profitable for you at the same time,is by doing a search using the Google Adwords Keyword research tool.
Here is how it works:
If you put in the term Health and fitness,into the search box you will come up with a ton of results. You will have the following information:
- how much competition there is for the keyword
– how many searches are done each month.
– how many searches are made in your area
You will also get other results such as a column for trends, here is where you can see if this product is in demand all year round, or if there are seasonal spikes.
Your best option is for a product that is in demand all year.
You also want to choose a product with a decent number of searches each month, ideally below 5,000 and with low competition.
Once you looked at all those results, choose your niche.Choose oneĀ that you think will be beneficial for your potential client`s problem. It could be arthritic pain solution, reflux, or any other one.
By now you know what people are looking for, which terms they used on their research. All you have to do is to look for a product that will be appropriate for your client`s need, and build a website around it, and start driving targeted.
That`s how you start with Affiliate Marketing.

I have had a lot of trouble with my affiliate marketing since the Google Panda Update. A lot of pages dropped down in rankings after that and many have never come back.
Basically any page that had too many links to a sales page (like a clickbank page) or even a website with too many pages with too many links, got penalized by google.
What I have been doing is limiting it to one link per article or post and in the case of a webiste I try to promote fewer total types of items and n multiple posts I will link to a product review page within the website that then links to the sales page.
It has worked on all but one site which is still penalized by google.

I know how frustrating that can be. Which site is penalizing you?
