The choice of niches to promote an affiliate product to (or your own product) is vast, so how do you go about selecting a niche? This article should point you in the right direction!

Thousands of people make great money from promoting Clickbank products, including myself. Of course there are other affiliate programs out there as well (and plenty of them) where you can find products to promote.

But there are a lot of great products on Clickbank to promote. The thing is, you have to promote products that you truly believe in and that you feel confident will actually help the people you are promoting to. This may mean you have to buy the product or ask for a review copy.

A sensible thing to focus on when doing your niche research, is to look for products that help people to solve a problem. If you make a list of problems that people experience you will have a ton of target markets to go after. Then pick one to start, and then tighten that niche right down.

Here's what I mean...

Inital target market = Dog owners

Overall Niche: Dog health/illnesses/ailments

Tighter niche: kidney failure in dogs

Even tighter niche: Kidney failure in Cocker Spaniels (or Alsations, or bulldogs etc)

I'm not suggesting that is a good market at this stage, what i'm showing you is how to think of a problem that people have, how to tighten that problem niche right down to a specific target market and a very tight niche, (the tighter the niche the better in a lot of cases).

When you have identified a niche you are interested in, you will want to enter it into Google in quotes, like this...

"Kidney failure in Cocker Spaniels" and see what comes up. I've just done this on the fly and there is only one Google adwords advertiser, whose ad is pointing to a herbal dog remedy (with no affiliate program).

With only one advertiser, there may not be a market, or maybe we need to make the niche LESS tight, so let's go up a level, back to "kidney failure in dogs".

Enter that in Google and we get a couple more advertisers, but only that one again on the herbal remedy thing. OK not looking great at this stage, BUT....

This little bit of research activity has shown me that there is a company called http://www.1800petmeds.com/ that offer treatments for all kinds of pet ailments AND they have an affiliate program. Hmmm....

See where a little research can lead you? It may take you in another direction entirely but that's how researching a niche can sometimes work.

I do know that a lot of people around the world have dogs of all breeds that die of kidney failure (I had a dog that eventually died of just that illness). Oprah Winfrey's Cocker Spaniel died of kidney failure (I only know that from the Google search I just did above ;0)

What you do see when you do that search on kidney failure in dogs is that there is a ton of information that you could research to write your own ebook product (or have it written). This ebook would be bought by most dog owners who have a pet that is suffering in this way. And they are urgently in need of the information right now!
