Ahrefs <\/a>Keyword Research tool to find these low competitive keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, don’t waste time and energy competing against “experts”. Instead, concentrate on finding untapped, “greenfield” territories where you can make a good profit with relatively little competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s talk more about this in the next point below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a less Competitive Niche<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A lot of people fall into the trap of choosing a niche that is already saturated with a lot of competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t do it! If you do then you may as well give up right now because it will be almost impossible for you to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a niche that is not yet saturated with a lot of competition. Choose a niche that has very thin competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be something where there are only a handful of people who are active and making money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a niche that has millions of people but only a handful of people are making any money. This will greatly increase your chances of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, you do not have to give up on affiliate marketing, but you should rather give up on a highly competitive affiliate niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t worry about the affiliate revenue when you start<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
It’s a bit of a “chore” at first but, after you get going, making affiliate sales (even a small one) will take care of itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you should be concentrating on (as I said earlier) is growing your business as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will put more and more “money in your pocket” every day and allow you to live the life you want to live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve got a good, solid base of operation, worry about making money (a huge amount of it) will take care of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understand The Keywords And Keyword Phrases Used By Your Competitors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As said earlier, affiliate marketing would seem “saturated” for you if you directly compete with experts in the field and you would be better off going for less competitive topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, let’s also acknowledge the fact that you would almost always face some amount of competition no matter which route you take. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good thing is that it will likely not be as hard and you can outrank your new competitors when you do your due diligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you start to create a website to promote a particular product or service, then first check out the websites of your competitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If those websites are ranking high in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) then there is a good chance that those keywords and keyword phrases are bringing lots of traffic to their sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, use those keywords and keyword phrases (if they have low keyword difficulty) in your website content to bring lots of targeted traffic to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, you can use the Ahrefs Keywords Explorer tool for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose A Product you Really Like and know about<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If you are going to do affiliate marketing then your first and foremost priority should be to find a product that you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you are done with that then think about whether the product can make a lot of money or not. The only way to succeed in affiliate marketing is if you love what you are selling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t love the product or service, then it is difficult for you to bring traffic to the site and sell the product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t know much about a particular product or service then it is difficult for you to promote that product or service on your website. It will be like trying to drive a car using only the steering wheel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, before you get started, make sure that you are very familiar with the product or service that you are going to sell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way, you will be able to choose the right product or service to promote on your site and also create compelling copy to attract traffic and buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will also ensure you’re only promoting products that you know have real value for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have A Clear Goal In Mind What is your goal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This will sound like a cliche. But it’s fundamental. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you want to achieve by creating this website? Once you know this, it will be easy for you to choose the right product or service to promote on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will also help you to create a compelling sales pitch that will convert visitors into buyers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t have a clear goal, then it is difficult for you to succeed in affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optimize Your Website To Attract Lots Of Traffic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Traffic is the lifeblood of every website. Without traffic, it is difficult to sell anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, to attract traffic to your website, you should make it as search engine friendly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use relevant keywords and keyword phrases in the title, alt text, H1, H2 and H3 tags of your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure that your website is well optimized for search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use internal links wherever possible. It will help search engines to understand the flow of information on your website better. It will also help your website to be read by human visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create A Website With Unique And Fresh Content <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The content of your website should be unique and fresh. It shouldn’t necessarily be something that hasn\u2019t been written about before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chances are, almost anything you’ve planned of writing has been published before by others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you write your own content from a different perspective altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s important is to satisfy the search intent of whoever is looking for such content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you copy content from other websites, then you will also face some copyright issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, create original and unique content for your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will help you to stand out from the crowd and also will give you the upper hand when it comes to ranking higher in the SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Build your email list <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Building an email list is the first step towards getting leads on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you will start promoting your affiliate products, then you can send promotional emails to your subscribers which will let them know about the new products and will also motivate them to buy from your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does it work? People sign up to an opt-in list by adding their email addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do this by offering your audience something valuable in exchange for their name and email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are free and paid email autoresponders that are good for affiliate marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMany of these autoresponders will make you can start for free with a list of 1000 subscribers or below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
