- So how do you discover a profitable niche
for your affiliate marketing website?
Because if you get your niche wrong,
then you're kind of doomed to failure.
And the problem is that you waste your valuable time,
pumping time, money and resources into a website
that's about to flop like a cowgirl
trying to land as Metallica, okay.
So in this video, I'm gonna teach you
my step by step blueprint to make sure
that you find a profitable niche
for your affiliate marketing site.
And this is incredibly easy to follow.
But before we get into the video,
please make sure you subscribe

So first of all, head on over to a website like Flippa.
And this is like a marketplace basically,
where websites are bought and sold for all the time.
So you can kind of reverse successful website ideas,
you can see that they're being sold for now
and people pay money for them and therefore,
they could be profitable niche ideas,
you should check out yourself.
And you may come up with loads of random niche ideas
you never even thought before.
And so it's a really good source of inspiration.
It's great to reverse engineer successful websites
and it will just give you tons of ideas
that are being sold right now.
So it's perfect for that.
And the other thing is you don't wanna be scouring the web
hoping that a magical niche idea pops into your head.
Instead, this gives you the data,
it tells you how much the website was sold for,
how long it was on auction
and therefore you've got the data to back up
whether it's a successful business idea,
or one you should avoid.
And then after that, we can go into more ways
to research your niche in more detail.
Next up, head on over to Google and try and find
small niche affiliate marketing websites
that are already succeeding on Google, okay?
So look for websites that are small,
that are focused on affiliate marketing,
that are already monetizing their website
and that are already getting a lot of traffic as well.
And you can use a tool like Ahrefs for example
and it will teach you and tell you how much traffic
each website is getting.
So it gives you a lot of visibility
about the overall success of a website
and whether it seems well,
because the problem is
that if there are no small niche websites
already succeeding in that industry,
then it's probably one you want to avoid.
Because maybe it's just swamped by big competitors.
You don't wanna be a small fish
swimming in a fishbowl of sharks.
See, you have to be really careful about this.
And the problem is as well that
if there's no small niche websites succeeding already,
then it's a huge red flag,
maybe one that you should stay away from.
And maybe you should look for an alternative niche
that's actually got a lot more money in it
for smaller websites.
Next up, I would look at how can you monetize your website
because sure, you're gonna use affiliate marketing,
but there's gonna be loads of affiliate deals around
and you have to find a good one for your site.
So I would check out competitors,
see how they're monetizing their site.
Look at affiliate deals, look at conversion rates,
maybe you wanna look at Clickbank, Amazon,
and other sources of affiliate commission,
and just figure out okay,
how can you monetize your site?
Are there ways you can diversify your streams of income?
And what are the best ways to make more money from your site
because, there's no point going into a niche
where the affiliate deals are pretty poor,
or there's no affiliate deals at all.
So you have to be really careful about this.
And definitely do your research with monetization
even though it might be a few months
before you start making money off that site.
Next up, you should check out
the seasonality of the site, right?
So is there search going all year round?
or sometimes there are gonna be peaks and troughs
and therefore you're not gonna get sales
every month of the year.
And for example, this can be a big problem
if you're in a niche like gardening for say,
like if you type in a few different search terms
around gardening on Google Trends,
you'll see that six months of the year is really popular,
and six months of the year is doing pretty damn badly.
So you have to be really careful about this
because you want a predictable, reliable source of traffic
that's gonna get you sales all year round
rather than having a feast or famine situation
where most of the year you don't make any money.
And this is something you really have to consider
before you hop into the niche because once you've invested
all your time and resources into that website,
it's gonna be very hard to do it later.
So just be careful about that
look into seasonality before you decide on the niche
and make sure you nail this part of it
before you jump into the affiliate marketing side of things.
And finally, I would say you should also consider
how much you're genuinely interested in the niche.
Because what makes a difference between
affiliate marketing website that actually makes money
and one that doesn't usually comes down to consistency.
And if you're just invested into a niche
that you don't really care about,
it kinda bores you, you have no passion for,
then chances are, you're gonna give up pretty quickly.
So that's why I'd recommend finding a niche
you're genuinely interested in
and kind of get excited by, okay?
So I'm not saying like do a lot what you love,
but you should find a niche that actually, okay,
it's kind of interesting, you'd probably read about that
or you'd enjoy writing about that,
because that will make a big difference in terms of
how much time and money and resources
you put into the website.
And the thing is,
well if you're writing the content yourself,
you definitely need to be interested in the topic
otherwise you're just gonna hate your life.
So that's why I'd recommend finding a niche
you genuinely have an interest in.
So that's pretty much it for my step by step blueprint
on how to find a profitable niche in affiliate marketing.
Now these are all practical steps you can follow.
You just have to spend the time researching
and it's 100% worth it
because you don't wanna waste time here, okay?
It can take months before you make a decent profit
off a website so that's why
you've gotta do it right first time around.
