How to find your first affiliate niche in 5 easy steps.

Step 1:Think from the HEART not the mind.Most people who buy anything buy don't buy it because they need it they buy it because DESIRE to have it. Don't look to fill needs but rather things that have an emotional  connection with the target market.Step 2:Keywords Keywords KEYWORDS.Finding what people want is not a difficult process all you need  to do is see people search for... They will only search for something want even if they're just bored.  If had to invest in anything a good keyword research tool would be it, not only will it save you many hours of hard work but also help you  get the best most accurate results as possible. The two research tools  that I use are Wordtracker (www.wordtracker.com ) and Niche Database  (www.nichedatabase.com), so go check them out. Then use these tools to find low competition/ High demand keywords and phrases.Step 3:Let the creative juices flow.You don't really need to be a genius to find good keywords... here's a good tip, use a thesaurus which groups words by meaning not alphabetically and use that to find new words that might just be used.  Another very good way to do so is this... but don't tell anyone I  told you ;)  Go to the web and look up your target market and their favourite  activities, search for their keywords in google. Once you've found  the top ten, right click on them and go to "view source". Now look in the sites HTML text and I'm sure you'll find lots of  good Keywords ( They are normally seperated by commas in a list )Step 4:Show me the money....If you want to promote something you must make sure you're getting into a paying market. One way to do so is by looking them up in google and then checking how many addwords there are... people pay for prime add space and  they pay unless it's paying off advertising there in the first  place.  One application that will really help with that process is Adword  Analyzer and will save you a lot of time. But manual research should never be neglected to check up on your competition. Step 5:Analyse the information you've compiledStore as much of that information as possible. Isolate the  low-competition, good-demand in a separate spreadsheet, since these  are your potential list of "pasionate markets" where the people are  willing to spend their money.Look up these good keywords in Google again. Get a feel for what other  sites are doing. If any of them have forums, or if some of them are  blogs, read the postings to see what people are asking or complaining about.  Finally, brainstorm products or services (particularly upsells) that  can solve those problems or satisfy those questions. You may even  find these products discussed in forums or sold on competing sites. If  so, you're in the perfect position to create an offer that's more  compelling than your competition.Now I hope this will greatly help you as you go on you way to  Affiliate success.Don't you wish there was a place where you could find more information like this and that was easilly accesable and user frindly?
