Are You in a Hot Niche?

Have you ever been in a niche where no matter how targeted your adgroups were, how much you split tested your landing page copy, and Google ad copy you just couldn’t get your affiliate promotion to convert?

Have you then gone into a completely different market, and the minute you launch your campaign you start getting a flood of sales? Within days your campaign was solidly profitable and everything just worked out almost effortlessly?

It’s happens to me a LOT!

The simple fact is that some niches are hot, and some are not. If you want to become a super affiliate, you can either go into a super saturated market, try to though it out against well entrenched competition OR you can find what market are REALLY hot and ride the wave.

What would you rather do? Where do you have better chances of becoming a super affiliate?

In fact I’m constantly looking for hot markets, by reading industry news, attending conferences, etc, etc. I focus my efforts on entering hot markets and dominating them.

You have to trust me on this, getting a solidly profitable campaign going is really easy when you’re in a hot niche, and nearly impossible in a saturated niche. The only danger in a not niche is that you can get lazy and not properly build and optimize your campaign. You must always think long-term, the niche may be hot now, however, the easy picking may not last long. Think one step ahead and always work on improving your campaign, and building a solid website and business.

So if you’re in a niche where you’ve tried everything and you’re just hitting your head on the wall, then you may want to direct your affiliate efforts where there’s low hanging fruit.

    Amit,

    I have been tinkering with affiliate marketing for a little while now but only recently got into PPC side of things. Seeing promising results in a short period of time, my goal is to develop a long term foundation and scale it. I would like to know if you could give some basic signs of a what a hot niche looks like? Also, I have been kinda confused on exactly what a landing page should be. I understand the concept of a landing page and developing a mini site. I agree with your strategy of developing an authority in an particular niche including both SEO and PPC. But when it comes to landing pages my question is, do I develop a page that basically presells the product only to send them to the landing page of the merchant or do I send them directly to a check out screen? What are effective techniques?

    Keep the Info Coming,
    Andrew
