There are thousands of Vendors on the internet that have affiliate products that are ready to be promoted, not all of them are promotable/profitable. To choose a product to promote, you have to find those that are in hot demand. This is called “Niche Marketing”.
I will let you in on some tools you can use to reveal over 500,000 niches that you can dwell into and get your bank account exploded within the next few months.
So, sit back, tighten your seat belt and get ready to learn how to find and bust up niches, the $1 million dollar marketer’s way.

What is a niche?
The word ‘niche’ is defined as: “A special area of demand for a product or service”. According to Wikipedia; a niche market is a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market. In Affiliate Marketing, Niche Marketing is technique often used by affiliate marketers, by seeking out smaller segments of larger markets. There are an endless number of opportunities to become successful online, and anyone can make money if they spend some time leveraging niche research. There are 100,000’s of niches online, though I cannot cover this in this course, I promise to get it across to you in another format later.

How does niche process works?
Researching is the root of all successful marketing campaigns. Selling something is not difficult; getting buyer is the real problem. Getting the right niche only does not bring you money, you need to understand how the whole thing works; how do you turn a niche into money, and what should the flow look like between finding niche, understanding the industry and how to make money within a niche. The three components of niche marketing are:
- The audience (niche)
- The inform (connection between the niche and a product)
- The buy (what the people “buy”)

SO, the FLOW from the beginning to the end looks like this:
Find niche + Understand niche + Find Product to Promote + build Campaign = EARN $$$$
