As ‘less than guru’ online marketers, we’re constantly asking the question “What makes the difference?”…

What really is it that allows some niche marketers to achieve success beyond our wildest dreams while others haplessly flounder. While there a number of elements, I will attempt today to isolate just a few. These are some of the things I feel to be of key importance in obtaining the online income you desire.

1. Knowledge – It seems crazy to say but despite all the info products, all the articles, all the forums, all the free reports, all the blog posts, alot of people still find it hard to nail down specifics on how to attain a certain outcome like a profitable niche site or a high selling info product.

One of the absolute most prolific pieces of advice for prospective affiliates is to work within their passions-to find their niche market in an area of personal interest and stay with it.  While there is a place for niche marketing in affiliate marketing, it is not what you have been led to believe that it is.  For sure, “work within your personal niche” is one of the worst pieces of advice given to new entrepreneurs, and the cause of multitudes of affiliate failures.Do what interests you; find your niche; do what you are passionate about; sell the products that interest you the most.These are the pieces of advice that entrepreneurs are told time and again.  And there is some basis to this thought, some method behind this madness. The overall belief is that if you choose to do business in an area or ‘niche’ that you are deeply interested in, that passion will shine through and you will make sales almost accidentally.  The feeling is that by selling products or working within your most favorite niche you will have a built-in sense of urgency and desire that will compel you to work on your business and to succeed.Moreover, by working within a niche category of personal interest you will come prepared.  That is, you will come armed with bucket loads of knowledge and experiences with various products so that you don’t have to ‘waste time’ getting up to speed.  You’ll already know the products that deserve promotion.  And you’ll know all the promotional background information almost off the top of your head.The belief is that if you focus on promoting products that are in some way of interest to you, you can easily take care of business.  You can construct websites that will sell the products; you can write articles to submit to directories and gain links back to you, the niche expert; you can build blog upon blog and never run out of something great to say about your favorite little widget that so transformed your life as a widget collector (whether you should or not, is another matter, and we’ll discuss that later).Here’s the thing about this-none of it is untrue.  It is easier to put yourself behind a product you already know.  It is easier to hit the ground running when you are already well-versed in matters.  It is easier to connect with visitors and readers who are more like you.  So why, then, is it a myth to believe that you should focus first and foremost on your personal-interest niche as an affiliate marketers?  Why can’t that mean virtually automatic sales and commissions?The reasoning against personal niche concentration is more simplistic than you might think.  And in point of fact, there are some exceptions to the rule, which we can touch upon after you understand why the myth in general is a myth.

What’s wrong with doing something you are passionate about?  There is nothing truly wrong with it.  But there is something unprofitable about it in an overwhelmingly large percentage of cases.  What is unprofitable about this mindset is that it is just too limiting. By choosing your business and products based on one personal preference, you lose the freedom of choice.  And that freedom is important, because it is what allows you to give buyers what they want, and saddles you with a limited number of affiliate product options, most of the time in a niche that isn’t seeing very high demand.Very simply, unless your niche interest happens to be in products or subject areas that coincide with what people are ready to buy, it does not come with the most essential element of affiliate marketing success-built-in customers.

Chances are you’ve heard the phrase “find your niche” more than once. But what does it really mean? Niche Marketing generally refers to the development of a monetized website intended to have a specific appeal to sub-mainstream markets. Most niche marketing websites are usually monetized with a mixture of Google Adsense and affiliate products.
Niche marketing is often considered an ideal venture for new marketers. This is because there is generally less competition in highly specific niches, which usually translates to lower operating and advertising costs. Choosing the right niche can also enable a new marketer to establish themselves as an expert while gaining valuable experience in the world of Internet marketing.
A profitable niche must meet a few requirements. The stronger each aspect is, the more profitable the niche can be. It comes down to “supply and demand”. First, it’s important that there are a good number of people actively searching for the information that your niche will be providing (i.e. high demand). Second, you’ll want to be sure that your niche does not have a lot of other websites targeting it (i.e. low supply). And finally, you’ll need to make sure there is money in your market. This all involves research.
Looking for a niche market should begin with a brainstorming session about things that you have some experience with or an interest in. Keep in mind, enjoying the niche you choose is always a plus as it will help you maintain your focus when building your business. Checking out your ideas on websites such as “Yahoo Buzz”, “AOL Hot Searches”, and “eBay Pulse” will give you a jump start on finding out if there is a high demand for them.
Keyword research is the absolute best way to drill down your niche into smaller, more specific sub-topics. Using the free keyword search tool offered by Wordtracker will assist with this. It will provide you with an estimated daily search volume for a given word and offer you suggestions for other words related to it. For example, doing a search for a topic like “recipes” will allow you to discover what types of recipes are being searched for and approximately how many people per day are searching for them.
Doing a search on Google, Yahoo, and MSN for each of your newly drilled down keywords (in quotes) is the next step. The top of each page will tell you exactly how many results contain that keyword. Remember, we are looking for a niche with a good number of searches but not too much competition. Also, take note of the number of Adwords ads that appear during your Google word searches. It’s important that you can confirm that advertisers are willing to pay for traffic for these words if you are planning on using Google Adsense on your new niche website.
Finally, you will need to find out if there are affiliate program available for your niche market. There are affiliate programs for almost everything these days, so the odds are in your favor. Checking affiliate networks such as Clickbank and Commission Junction are good places to begin. Simply doing a search for your keywords with the words “affiliate program” included will also give you a good idea of what’s out there.
Once you have compiled all of your information you should have a good idea of possible niche markets and if they have the potential to be profitable for you. The final decision on which niche market to target can be based on the highest search count, the least competitors, the highest number of Adwords ads or a combination of all of these factors. Finding the perfect balance between search volume and competition is up to you. Once you find your niche, you can move onto building your website to capitalize on it as effectively as possible. Be prepared. Niche marketing often results in big profits and tremendous success!

Stay at home – you don’t have to travel or be around any annoying co-workers. This is great, work can actually be done, no worries about a boss or supervisor hounding you. You have complete control of everything, it is your home.

Avoid hectic traffic commuting to work – the commute to work in early morning rush hour is one that everyone despises. Yet for most it is a must to get to work. Making money online allows you to stay home and avoid the crazy traffic and road rages that lurk among the city highways.
