Choosing a niche for your affiliate website can be challenging. At times, it may seem as though every niche is covered but I can guarantee you this is definitely not the case!
You want to make money from your niche affiliate site, so it’s important that you choose a niche where users are actually going to spend money and where it’s possible to get traffic.
Here are my top pointers to help you with choosing your niche:
- You need to be passionate about your particular niche – it’s the single biggest guarantee of success
- You should choose something which is not available in the shops locally – this means your users are likely to go online looking for it from day one
- It’s probably best to avoid electronics since Amazon has this market sewn up – this doesn’t mean you can’t make money from electronics, you’ll just have to choose a much more focused niche within the electronics area in order to do so – cover something that Amazon don’t already cover
- Look at the results in Google for your niche – check out the competition and see if it’s a market there for the taking or if you have a competition on your hands
