DPR Affiliate Marketing Blog

Posts Tagged ‘Niche market’

Affiliate marketing can be a pain in the ass to learn sometimes. It’s not hard but it is work. But I am not talking about that part.

The problem is with the options. There are just too many. If you look at the post I wrote just the other day, you will see why. I listed over a hundred ways to promote your blog. Do they all work? Yes. To some extent. But when you are faced with a list like that, at least when I am, I freeze. Too many options gives you no clear place to start. And I promise, that list is only a start. I have used some of the methods and know what has worked for me. And some of the methods are based on your blog as a whole while others focus on posts. And some methods are good to use when you start a blog and others will only work after your blog has at least a little bit of a presence online.

If the topic of the new blog were something I was overly excited about, chances are that I would just start writing posts, creating categories on the fly and for the most part haphazardly jumping in with both feet and thrashing around. But I don’t want to do that. I kind of did that with this blog and it took me a while to get it under control.

So, since the goal is to make money, I will look for affiliate products first and then use those products to guide the theme of the blog. At first, I started mapping out the Ebay niche as a whole. And wasting my time. First, the products. Then the categories and content.
