One of the most challenging tasks for new bloggers and affiliate marketers is to find a profitable niche or area of interest.
A good niche has these characteristics:
- Is a topic you know fairly well and that you can be passionate about. You can probably write a few articles about any subject, but to sustain an active blog and affiliate marketing campaign, it is very helpful to already know the subject and enjoy writing about it.
- Is a topic that many people are interested in. You may enjoy studying rare frogs in a South American rainforest, but if you are one of a few, you will have a hard time getting traffic to your blog.
- Is a topic that lends itself to affiliate products that are in demand. You may enjoy a niche that others also enjoy, but if there are no products that enthusiasts are willing to buy, you will find it difficult to sell unrelated products.
An Internet marketing friend of mine, Susanne Myers, loves to research niches. I don't know about you, but I'm glad someone enjoys doing that. As the result of her research, she has created "Niche Packs" with all the information she gathers. If a niche meets her criteria for being a viable, profitable niche, she bundles all her research findings into a pack that anyone can utilize to start a profitable blog.
Look what she includes in every pack:
- Document thoroughly describing the niche and the target market
- List of affiliate products you can promote on your website
- Over 100 domain name ideas
- Over 1,000 keywords and phrases to use as primary keywords for blog posts, etc.
- 100 Article and Blog Post ideas centered around the keywords -- You won't run out of article/blog post ideas for quite a while
- 15 Resource Box templates to be used when submitting articles to article directories
- 2 different marketing strategies and the step-by-step procedures for implementing them.
If you are stumped on how or where to begin, I recommend you look at Susanne's Niche Packs.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the in-depth information included in every Niche Pack.
