Affiliate Income using Untapped Micro-Niches

Here is another good affiliate technique that I’ve stumbled upon. This comes originally from James Jones of MicroNicheFinder.com where he explains how to use his micro-nice finder tool to discover hidden little- or not-at-all-saturated niches, niches that have good demand but low supply.

I’ve talked about the supply and demand in a Finding Your Affiliate Marketing Business Niche article I written in the past. This tool that James has created does the searching automatically so saving a lot of research time.

I get lots of various offers on daily basis and some I send straight to the trash, some I read over and a few per week I find that are interesting that I actually subscribe to. Each offer I learn about I pick up new small ideas on marketing and techniques that I expand on and come up with even better systems. Even without purchasing the systems that are offered I can pickup the concept from watching the intro and sales videos and build the campaign based on that information combined with my other knowledge. Why and I telling you this? As you receive the multitudes of offers in your email, don’t buy every one and don’t dismiss them all but look through them watch the sales videos and listen to the presentations, you will pick up ideas that you previously did not know and new concepts will start forming in your mind which you will be able to put to use in your ventures.

James offers a tool that saves lots of research time and lets you work on development of the campaigns instead. Together with that he is teaching the system which you can use the tool with. I already explained in the article here how the research can be done manually so you don’t need to buy the tool but for the time sake you should at least take a look and you might find it useful.

The System Concept

The MicroNicheFinder system teaches you how to find the micro-niches and then create single articles that target these niches and drive traffic to the affiliate pages.

You find a niche, create a blogger blog page on that topic, then write an article on the topic, add a bio paragraph at the bottom and link it to the blogger page which links to the affiliate product sales page. You create hundreds of them and sit back and wait till traffic starts trickling in and making sales. That’s the idea.

Now In Detail

Start your search at ClickBank.com. If you are not yet a ClickBank member click here to sign up for free. You want to find a good product to sell and there are two ways to go about it; one is to find a popular product that is already selling well or another to find a product that is not very popular because it’s buried in the back pages of the ClickBank results. Make a list of products you’d like to sell and then go on to finding the micro-niches for them.

Use the technique I talked about in Finding Your Affiliate Marketing Business Niche article to find your niche keywords. One thing is different about this one though is don’t worry about getting down to double digit demand, even 50 searches per month can get you a good position in the search engine and drive some traffic. I wouldn’t go any lower than 50 though.

Check out the MicroNicheFinder Tool too, maybe you will like using it more to find the micro niches.

You have the product and the niche keywords, now you need to create a blogger blog for each niche keyword. Do one niche at a time so you don’t get confused. Use the niche keyword as the name of your blog and then create one post and make sure you have the exact keyword inside the title. The body of the post should only be about 300 words and should have the keyword mentioned within the text at least once but not more than twice. Place a link directly to the affiliate product in this post, use a big text at the bottom of the post or work it into the body of the post. The idea is to get them to click through to the affiliate page.

Now it’s time to create a useful article on the niche topic. Your article should be from 300 to 500 words long and needs to be very useful , so think about what a person, that entered your niche keyword into the search engine, is searching for and try to provide that in the article. After the article is written, submit it to eZineArticles.com. eZineArticles allows you to add a bio paragraph at the bottom of the article and this is where the link to your niche blog post will go. They do not allow you to post links within the article so don’t do that, focus on providing quality content in the body of the article and then focus on driving the traffic inside the bio.

That is it. Now you sit back and wait… or you can go and do another one. It will take a while for this to kick in so don’t expect instant results. Realistically, it will probably take a month or two before you start seeing traffic getting through the links you created. I wouldn’t expect to see sales for at least six months. Yes, this is a long term investment that will pay off with time.

Ok, until next time,
