Niche Sniping - The Secret to Finding Killer Niches to Infiltrate Dominate As an Affiliate

To be successful in making money with Affiliate Marketing, you need to narrow a market into a niche, or micro niche so you can successfully compete in the search engines against your competitors. One of the key things to keep in mind while searching for a niche you'd like to market to, is do you enjoy the topic. If you are bored to tears with the niche or market, it will be very difficult to produce the content you will need to compete in the market.

When I start looking for a new niche I use several different places to get my creative juices flowing. The first place I look is on Amazon, looking at the different categories of magazines, looking at the specialty magazines in each area. Looking at the titles of articlesArticle marketing is a type of advertising in which businesses write short articles related to their respective industry. These articles are made available for distribution and publication in the marketplace. Each article contains a bio box and byline that include references and contact information for the author's business. Well-written content articles released for free distribution have the potential of increasing the authoring business' credibility within its market as well as attracting new clients. on popular magazines can also give you a clue to possible niches. If a specialty topic has several magazines, you have a pretty good guess that it has readers who are willing to spend money.

Another place I find very useful to explore is eBay's hot products, by using the eBay Pulse.

I have a few friends who have good success watching the various search engine spies, and popular searches lists to find what people are searching for, and then drilling down in that market to find a smaller niche they can quickly build a site for. I still prefer using eBay and Amazon for my research, at least I know the people there are prepared to spend money.

Perhaps the greatest resource is your eyes and ears as you shop in local stores and malls. Watch what people are buying, listen to what they talk about. What is exciting people today? What are they complaining about? What are they telling their friends they can never find? What kinds of problems are they trying to solve? It is a good idea to keep a small notebook and pen with you at all times to jot down any ideas you hear. If you're visiting a hardware store, and you keep hearing the same questions about "How do I", then you know it is a potential market.
