CHAPTER 6
PICKING A NICHE
Now we are ready to get started and dive into one of the most important aspects of
affiliate marketing — niche selection and keyword research.
Niche Research
Don’t be tempted to build a website around a topic you love before you’ve checked
whether there are any decent affiliate products that you can promote. Just because you
love something, doesn’t mean it will make you money!
The easiest way to ensure that you’re going after a topic that can make you money is to
look at the affiliate products first. If there are lots of products that you can promote, and
they look like they’re going to sell well, then you’re onto a winner.
A good place to start is at ClickBank.com

Affilorama lesson “7 Steps to Finding Profitable Affiliate Niches” covers this chapter’s
topic in much greater detail.
