Find an Affiliate Program for Any Niche in 30 Minutes or Less
Many affiliate marketers have heard the advice to "find a niche." However, many people do not know how to find good niche affiliate programs. Here is a quick and easy way to find all of the affiliate programs available for any niche you can think of.
The easiest and best tool to use to find niche affiliate programs is Google. The advantages of using Google are:
- It's free.
- Any site that comes up on the top results is reputable and has been around for awhile.
- You get thousands of results you can search through.
- You can make your search very specific.
Here is how to use Google to find affiliate programs.
1) Go to
Google.
2) Type your "niche keyword + affiliate." This is the step where a lot of people get confused. Let's say, you are searching for an affiliate program on dog health. Type this phrase into Google: dog health + affiliate. All the pages that have the term "dog health" and the term "affiliate" will show up in the results.
3) Next, open your spreadsheet program, or just take out a piece of paper. Go through the results in Google and write down the different programs that come up.
4) Once you have 10 programs listed, go back and research each of them to find the most profitable one.
Repeat the same process on
Yahoo as well because you will get somewhat different results. Between Yahoo and Google, you are almost guaranteed to find a good affiliate program for your niche. The final step is get busy finding profitable niches and building websites for them.

How to Use Ebooks for Marketing and Promotion
There are numerous ways to use ebooks to promote your business and drive quality traffic to your website. Once posted on your site, you can turn them into a daily course, which brings your customer back to read the next chapter. You can use them as a free gift for making a purchase or for filling out a survey. Put your ebook on a CD, and you will have an innovative brochure. Blow your competition away by inserting the CD into your sales packages.
The most effective marketing products are those that are unique. Copyright your ebook, and immediately, you have a powerful tool that you, and you alone, can offer to the public. People will have to visit your site to acquire your ebook, which increases the flow of quality traffic and the potential of sales and affiliate contacts.
Make sure that you keep your ebook current. Update it frequently as the market and trends change. Add new advice and techniques to show your prospects how your goods or services can enrich their lives. By constantly keeping abreast of new trends and techniques, you can continue to see profits from your ebook for years after your original creation.
Another phenomenal advantage of ebooks is that you can test their marketing potential without putting out hardly any cash at all. You can even produce an ebook one copy at a time, each time you receive an order, eliminating the need for storage and inventory. By this method, you can gauge the saleability of your ebook, and make adjustments as necessary until the orders start pouring in. Ebooks allow you to learn about your market and customer habits and motivation over a period of time, without risking your precious financial resources. They also provide you with an invaluable way to gather marketing information, which you can use in many different facets of your business.
Use your ebook to discover what the specific goals and problems are in your specific industry. Then figure out how to solve these problems, and publish an ebook with this invaluable information. This will increase the value of your business, upgrade your reputation, and get you known as an expert in your field.
You can extend the value of single ebook by breaking the book down into chapters for a serial course, into special reports available on your website, or into podcasts or videos. Ebooks can be broken down into several different promotional materials by excerpting some of the articles and using them to promote your product. You can include a catalog in your ebook to promote all the products or services you sell. You can include a thank you note for reading your book and an invitation to download a trial version of your product, or you can include a form for your audience to contact you for further information or with questions, thereby building your business relationships and your mailing list.
Using ebooks in this way helps to cut the cost of individually producing separate promotional materials. You can use a single ebook to entice new prospects and to sell new products to your current customers. No other medium has this kind of flexibility and ability for expansion. Think of your ebook like a spider spinning a beautiful and intricate web. Now go and create that web, and see how many customers and prospects you can catch!

Your Recipe for Online Success
Your perfect online business will be made up of two kinds of ingredients. They will be your revenue ingredients and your traffic ingredients. Your challenge is to mix them up in the best way to suit your business needs and your niche in order to gain maximum profit. Assuming your niche has already been determined by looking for an hungry crowd that you can put your site in the way of, the next step in planning your online business will be to choose your income ingredients.
When it comes down to it there are three basic ways that you can earn money with your own website.
1. You could create your own product that you sell to visitors. This might be an e-book, a video or audio course or maybe a membership service although it can be a hard product. By that I mean something that you can touch and that you have to physically ship to your customers.
2. You could sell other people's products either by buying resale rights to a product or by joining affiliate programs and promoting other people's products for commission.
3. You could sell advertising on your site and earn revenue this way. This may be by selling space on your site, but more likely would be by showing Adsense or similar ads.
Probably you will want to do all of the above.
The third step will be to determine how you will get traffic. You have a few choices in this regard. Below are six sources of traffic that you can use for your site. As with the income ingredients above, top marketers use all of them.
1. Search engine optimisation (SEO). SEO is the art of getting free traffic by being listed highly in search engines. if you can get on the first page at Google for a popular search term, then you'll get traffic and plenty of it. The process can be slow, but is certainly worthwhile.
2. Paid advertising. Most popularly this would be pay per click advertising through Adwords or Overture or one of the many other pay per click search engines, but it could be pay for inclusion, banner advertising, or sponsor ads in ezines.
3. Free advertising. The best way to get free advertising, other than your search engine listings, is to write articles. Articles can be submitted to article directories like EzineArticle or GoArticles. If they are accepted, people will add your articles to their websites, everywhere your article is placed will include a link to your site.
4. Affiliates. If you have a product, then you should operate your own affiliate program. That way others can promote your product in return for a commission, and, in order to do that, they will have to send their visitors to your site.
5. Joint ventures. A joint venture is like a customized affiliate arrangement whereby another site owner promotes your product to their list or on their site in return for commission. A joint venture differs from an affiliate offer in that it will be a custom or personalized arrangement negotiated between the parties.
6. Repeat visits. The two main ways of getting repeat visits to your site are to have interesting content, or to invite people to return via a newsletter or other email that you send to previous visitors. You will, of course, need to have a reason for these visitors to return. The best way is fresh content, but it could be a special offer or bonus. Obviously, in order to send an e-mail you need to collect the visitors email address the first time that they visit your site.
These then are your basic ingredients for online success. All you need is the right recipe that mixes them all up into the perfect business for you.

Making Money Online the Easy Way
So you want to make money online, but you don't have your own products and have no marketing idea. Here's a simple solution to your problem.
1. Find a product to sell
The first thing you need to do is to find a niche market. My suggestion is to sell a digital product like software or an ebook. These are the easiest product to sell online.
I will pick a product for you to help you understand the concept. Go to
Google Wealth Wizard. Join the free the affiliate program there. You'll need to be a Clickbank affiliate, which is also free. Once you've joined, you'll get you own unique URL. Save the URL in Notepad. That's the URL you will promote.
2. Promote the product.
Use Google to promote the product easily. Google is the most-used search engine and we all know that the traffic is the highest quality since it's targeted traffic. Use the
Google Adwords service. To activate the account will only cost you $5. You will need to write your own ad and choose the keywords for the product.
To sell the ebook, just pick "Google Wealth Wizard" as the main keyword. Go to
Overture, type the keyword "Google Wealth Wizard," and you will get several keyword suggestions to use for your campaign.
You will also need to set up you maximum cost per click, I suggest paying no more than 1% of your commission. To figure that out, just move the decimal point to the left. The idea is that Google will show your ad, and you will be charged per click at the cost that you have set up. This way you will only pay if the Google sends you a qualified prospect.
For the ebook you can use this ad:
Headline: Google Wealth Wizard (or whatever your main keyword is)
1st line: The Easiest Way to
2nd line: Make $300 a Day Online
URL: (your Affiliate URL)
3. Monitor your campaign and make adjustment where necessary. You can edit your ad, increase your cost per click, and add other keywords for the campaign. This is an easy, low-cost way to make money online.

Earn Money with Google Adwords in Just 30 Minutes
The problem with Google AdWords is that it has become very difficult to find keywords at a reasonable price. Bidding on keywords like “make money online” or something in that range will kill your advertising budget in no time. When you're just starting out, you have to find a niche that you can afford.
How do you find those profitable, but cheap niches? First, download the free keyword search tool
Good Keywords. You can go to Search Engine Watch's
Most Popular Keywords page to get keyword ideas, or you can use your own knowledge of what people are interested in to check out keywords. For example, prom season is coming up as I write this, and Good Keywords says that there have been 536,354 searches for the keyword "prom dress." The
Google Adwords Keyword Tool (you have to sign into your Google account to use it) says this keyword will cost only $.26 for the top spot. Linkshare has an affiliate program called “Prom Girl”. The rest is an easy match.
Here are a couple of other examples. I've seen lots of e-books selling recipes advertised online, and I'm sure some of them have an affiliate program. The keyword “recipes” has 254,904 searches and the cost per click is $.21. The other day I saw a magazine called
N, published by the Naturist Society, on the magazine rack at the bookstore. The keyword “naturist” has 125,920 searches, and the cost per click is $.12. A search on Google brings up an affiliate program called eNaturist with an affiliate program that pays $20 for each new signup.These are just three niches where the keywords are not that expensive. Use a keyword list or your imagination, and you can find many more.
How do you decide what keywords can make you money? Until you have loads of experience, here are a couple of guidelines to follow. Look for a cost per click of one cent or less per ten thousand searches. You can see that the keyword "prom dress" is an excellent value with a cost per click of $.26 for 536,354 searches. One other guideline I follow is to compare the cost per click to the commission. Take your affiliate commission and move the decimal point to the left two places. For the eNaturist affiliate program, that gives us $.20. If your cost per click is less than this figure, which for the keyword "naturist" it is, you have a good chance of making money.
A word of caution though: when you are running campaigns with keywords that get 100,000 or more searches, remember to set a daily spending limit and keep a close eye on your campaign. You can always increase your daily spending limit later after you see that your ad is working, and the money is starting to roll in.
