Want to generate passive income online? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affiliate marketing is the way to go. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a current blog owner or starting from scratch, this post is for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get rolling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding a Profitable Affiliate Marketing Niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we get to the juicy stuff, allow me to lend a hand to those without a blog first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you already have a niche and website, feel free to skip this section<\/a>. If not, read on to find the ideal niche for your affiliate site today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why is a niche important and how to find one?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a cold hard fact: it\u2019s nigh impossible to build a successful affiliate marketing business with the wrong niche. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, you may already have an idea of what niche to pursue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, everyone has their \u201cthing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be about fitness, cooking, writing, public speaking, and what have you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, a niche must be something that aligns with your passions \u2014 that is the first requirement. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By picking a niche you\u2019re passionate about, you minimize the risk of burnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine working, day in and day out, trying to promote products or services you\u2019ve no interest in?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, finding a profitable niche in the online space takes a lot more than identifying what you\u2019re passionate about.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Starting with a submarket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let me ask you a question: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly are you passionate about? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it dating or physical fitness? How about personal finance? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of your answer, I have bad news for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of those are niches. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, they are merely submarkets that are still too competitive for a new blogger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Core<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that a niche is a well-defined part of a submarket. It must serve a specific group of customers with specific goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you can identify potential end products you can sell, you still haven\u2019t found your niche. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side, finding a submarket is a step closer to discovering your affiliate marketing niche. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Narrowing down your submarket on Quora<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When creating a \u201cmoney site\u201d for affiliate marketing, remember that you\u2019re building it for an audience \u2014 not for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the perfect niche for your affiliate site, you must understand the challenges and problems they face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That should put you in a position where you can find affiliate products that can help them accomplish their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researching your audience can take hours of intensive research, which I outlined in this post<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I know a shortcut. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is head to Quora<\/strong><\/a>, type in your submarket, and look at the questions users ask.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quora<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Quora search results in the screenshot above are particularly interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the perspective of someone who\u2019s clueless about photography, these results gave me the following niche ideas: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Camera lenses and other equipment reviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Wedding photography<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Camera apps and photo editing software<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If I were you, I\u2019d write a list of all the potential niche ideas I have \u2014 we\u2019ll validate them later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For now, here\u2019s another way to come up with niche ideas in your chosen submarket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Get more niche ideas from AnswerThePublic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Quora can help you get a glimpse into the minds of your target audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, the Quora user base is only a fraction of the online population. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s why I recommend using AnswerThePublic<\/strong><\/a> for more niche ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It works by consolidating all the questions users ask about a topic into one page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"AnswerThePublic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In case you\u2019re wondering, AnswerThePublic utilizes \u201cautocomplete\u201d data from search engines to generate results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once the results are in, the site renders three \u201csearch clouds\u201d for queries based on questions, prepositions, and comparisons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"AnswerThePublic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    It looks impressive, but you\u2019ll get a better view by switching to the \u2018Data\u2019 <\/strong>tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This will display the results as lists \u2014 way more scannable than search cloud visualizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"AnswerThePublic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Combing through Quora and AnswerThePublic for questions should be more than enough to generate dozens of niche ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To validate the profitability of a niche, proceed to the next step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: Checking for potential affiliate products in marketplaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    At the end of the day, your affiliate marketing business will only perform as well as your product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If there are no viable affiliate products to sell, you should forget about affiliate marketing altogether. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To look for potential affiliate products, you can start with a simple Google search. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The trick is simple: just add \u201caffiliate programs\u201d at the end of your search query.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Google<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Within seconds, you should be able to find a number of prospective affiliate programs you can jump into for monetization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In most cases, you should be able to find listicles that aggregate multiple affiliate programs into one post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Google<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Since you\u2019re entering the landscape of affiliate marketing, you should also get familiar with affiliate marketing marketplaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Amazon Associates<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is a great place to start, thanks to the unparalleled diversity in their product catalog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can find everything here \u2014 from fashion items to eBooks. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Amazon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You can read this guide<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for a list of the most reputable affiliate networks on the web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you still can\u2019t find a suitable affiliate product to sell, there are also several unconventional strategies<\/strong><\/a> you can try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are some ideas: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
