Step #1: Discover Profitable Markets


As an affiliate marketer, we have to find a market before we can promote certain products. After you have found your market, the next thing that you have to do is to find your niche market. A niche market is a specialized portion of a larger market. You have to find your niche market because you will have a better chance of selling or promoting a merchant’s product, if it is a niche market. You will have less competitors, more targeted markets and you can be a master in your niche market easily because the topics have been narrowed down. Tools that you can use are Wordtracker, Overture, Keyword Empire to name a few.


Step #2: Build up Your Content Rich Website


In fact, you probably need only a simple site with a landing page for each affiliate product or your product you want to promote. Let's talk about the simple site structure most people can be very successful with. But first, a word about domains and hosting. You need a domain which targets the keyword you want to dominate in your niche. It's that simple. And don't include dashes in the name that used to help you with search engines, but probably doesn't anymore, and it's harder to type.



Step #3: Use Multiple Traffic Generation Strategies


Traffic generation is the important key to online marketing success. Sure, you’ll need a strong, valuable affiliate product and excellent sales copy on your website in order to convert that traffic well. However, everything hinges on generating traffic to your site. Without traffic, you’re out of business — end of story.


Traffic generation techniques for driving targeted traffic are article marketing, blog marketing, press release, squidoo, classified ad posting, and pay per click. However, article marketing in conjunction with forum and blog posting are excellent ways to begin driving free, targeted traffic to your website immediately.
