How do you folks generally choose an affiliate product for an extremely targeted page: Do you make the page first and find an ad to match, or browse through the ads, match up a good keyword, and build the site based on the ad?

Also, while I'm at it, any suggestions on a good network to start out on?
 


Hi Niftyg,

You should make the site first, find your niche, then browse for offers that are relevant to your site. I'm not sure what your site niche is, but I'm sure you won't have trouble finding offers that pertain to it as there are tons of offers out there that cover various categories.
 
Fuck that shit man, find something that sells, and sell the shit to the people who buy the shit. Pick a niche that doesn't bore you to death, pick a product or three that already sell well, find out who buys it, _then_ create your site. And make it sound like it was written by the people you're selling to.

Unless you have a topic you just _have_ to write about (like stripper mud wrestling or elephant herpes), and would write about even without pay, don't make the site first. I made this mistake all the time when I started out. Pick a type of product or at least a niche that sells, and build your site around that--not the other way around.

Then again I've spent almost nothing on PPC and have only sold ebooks and vitamin supplements via SEO sites. But it pays my rent and keeps my colon clean.

This is good info. Networks make it like you have to have a "worthy" site up before you apply/call them. It makes way more sense to have the product, before you begin to create marketing materials (website, etc).
 
I'm an Insurance Agent - I know in and out of all Insurance policies and constraint within each policy. It made sense as i've created a site related to Insurance and sell either insurance leads or product(s) related to my niche.

Now, ask the same question to yourself. What are you good at? Follow up on that niche by creating a site. I'm sure you will find a product for your niche in Amazon,Ebay,Clickbank etc. Follow up with keyword research and Competitor analysis and build your site (and soon your empire).

Do what you love. If you don't care for stamp collecting, don't go into that niche. It's hard to achieve a lot of success without having passion for what you're doing.
 
Idunno, I don't have a passion for post-gastric-bypass vitamins, but they pay a large chunk of my monthly bills. Never had a passion for them but they got a lot more interesting when I figured out they could bring some money my way.

The big "evergreen" niches seem to be dating/relationships, heath & fitness (especially weight loss, supplements, and...colon cleansing), get out of debt/repair credit, and make money.

I don't know how many people here have a passion for cleansing their colon, eating acai berries, or repairing their credit year in and year out. But I do know a lot of people here (and elsewhere) have made lots and lots of money in these niches.

I certainly wouldn't want to discourage you from doing the things that you love. But if you want to be good to yourself in the money department, go with what sells and sells big, and make yourself get interested.
