Keywords, How to Find Good Ones, and Use them Effectively
To be a successful affiliate marketer takes a ton of work. You
probably know this by now. Really! I hear some of you say. You
thought it was a piece of cake, mostly because you don't have to
worry about having your own product.
Ok, so no product costs, no shipping costs, no payment processor
costs, and so on. So what is so hard about being a successful
affiliate.
Glad you asked! Your first step should be to make a marketing
plan, or as I call it, a 'decision plan'. How many of us really
make a complete marketing plan. (Not me!) I know we sh ould, but
mine never completed. This is where you decide what niche, or
specialtiy you want to 'major' in.
Why don't I just be in 'affiliate marketing'? you ask. Wow, talk
about shooting yourself in the foot before you get off the
ground. It's TOO competitive, don't you know! Also too general,
maybe too vague, all over the map so to speak.
So how come it's good enough for Best Affiliate Products but too
much for you? Firstly, I must mention that I do have other niche
markets, and some in both the planning and preparation stages. I
do heed my own advise. Secondly, someone has to protect you and
lead you down the best path to success. I don't want you to
experience all the pain I went through.
This is why it's important to associate Affiliate Marketing with
Niche Markets. By focusing on one topic, you magnify your chance
of success many times over. Doesn't matter if the niche is small
or large, but you must align your thinking in this direction.
The niche can be huge, such as Auctions or EBay, and you will
find a good market there. The EBay sales may be huge, but the
competion for affiliate products is not excessive at all.
Take another huge Niche (specialty) such as Health. Now this
competition is ferocious. Personally, I would not touch it, even
though a lot of people do well with it. Why fight an uphill
battle just to get started, when you can surely find ot her
prospective niches.
The solution is to find smaller niches of "in demand" products.
Here we go again, you say. More speeches on what to do, but HOW
do we do this? And how do we do this successfully, when everyone
else is also looking for the answer.
An awful lot of people feel just like you, and as a result, they
never find niches, because they never look for them. There goes
much of your potential competition. Good for us, OK.
The search for good, usable 'keywords' is the answer to locating
a potentially profitable business. Using the right tools makes
the task a lot easier, a lot faster, and less stressful from a
decision making point of view.
I was just starting to prepare the list of tools to use, when I
remembered that they are all listed in the gratis course I
offer. The Niche Madness eCourse is 7 days of power packed info
on Affiliate Marketing for Niche Markets. Go to Niche Madness eCourse and sign up for the
eCourse. Learn all there is to know, over a 12 day period, as
the course is sent out every 2nd day.
But I also have to tell about a new tool I discovered. Every
once in a while, a really great tool is created, and I believe
that this is the case here.
It's called Adwords Equalizer. It is so loaded with features
that it is too much to list here. The easy and important way to
see all the benefits is at my Best Products page at
BestAffiliateProducts.com : Affiliate Products
This is a Product and a Half, as the saying goes. You may no
longer need expensive services like Wordtracker, where you never
stop paying. But the only way to see if it fits your needs, is
to visit the site at the site above.
We are finding some good keywords to work with, so what comes
next. Regretably, we've run out of time here, so you take the
course. Again, it's at: Niche Madness eCourse
The answer is right there. Happy Keyword hunting, and have fun
with it.
