Niche Affiliate Marketing Not Working? Maybe You Are Not In A Niche Market

Are you an affiliate? Are you not making money? It may very well be because you are not in a niche market. It is a story you hear time and time again from affiliates. They learn internet marketing and apply all of it's techniques. This usually includes: finding a niche, buying an exact match keyword, setting up a wordpress blog, adding some unique content in the form of about five to ten articles containing affiliate links, backlinking to their blog using five to ten more unique articles submitted to multiple article directories as well as link spamming blogs and forums. Additionally, they would purchase an expensive subscription to an autoresponder service because they were taught that the money is in the list, provided your emails even get opened because open rates are dismal and getting worse.

Without a doubt, all of these items do indeed work. An exact match keyword as a domain name is something that I have found to be effective in terms of Search Engine Results Page (SERP) ranking. Setting up a Wordpress blog is something that is extremely easy to do and the Wordpress format is extremely SEO friendly. Additionally, article marketing, provided you submit useful, non-self-serving articles to article directories can drive plenty of traffic and bring many backlinks to your website if widely syndicated. Finally, the money is in the list if and only if you have the copywriting skills to extract the money from it. Additionally, email will only be opened if and only if you have something to offer inside that the subscriber cannot get anywhere else for free and they know it.

It is true that internet marketing techniques do work, but not in the niches that are readily known. If you find your niches in article directories or affiliate programs like Clickbank, you are not in a niche. These are no loner niches and they are no longer profitable for most. The niches found in these places are where the herd goes and if you find your niches there, you are following the herd. You have to think outside the box and this means finding your own niche market and creating your own niche product.

If you are in a niche market that includes any of the following, you are not in a niche market: Arts & Entertainment, Betting, Business, Investing, Computers, Internet, Cooking, Food & Wine, E-business & E-marketing, Education, Employment & Jobs, Fiction, Games, Green Products, Health & Fitness, Home & Garden, Languages, Mobile, Parenting & Families, Politics, Current Events, Reference, Self-Help, Software & Services, Spirituality, New Age & Alternative Beliefs, Sports, Travel. All of these markets and all variations of them are literally over-run with affiliates and making money in any of these markets is a rat race.

Niche selection is about finding a niche that is untapped and not over-run with affiliates. Sometimes, this means creating your own unique product that is not available anywhere else. What's that you say, you cannot create your own product? It is not that difficult. You just have to draw on your own experience and work through it in a step by step process. It can be in the form of a report or guide or even a piece of software. It does not, however, have to be limited to a virtual product. It can be a physical one also.

Niche market selection is what will determine if you make money or not. You can apply all of the same internet marketing techniques as everyone else, but i you are in the wrong niche, you will not make a dime.
