Hi
I have been working on a web site for several months that has
taught me quite a bit…and could possibly teach you as well. It
is a web site designed totally around affiliate products and here
is how it works.
I started with keyword research to find my home page and main
pages. I looked for high demand/low competition keywords in a
particular niche and then, let the keywords tell me what people
in that niche wanted to buy.
I then went to affiliate “clearing houses” like ClickBank,
Kolimbo, Red Galoshes, Commission Junction and LinkShare to find
products to meet the need that I knew was there (because I looked
at what they typed into the search engines). For example, if I
found that 20 people a day where searching on “red 16 lb bowling
balls” and there were only 3 competing pages, I would search
these affiliate product “clearing houses” for a company that
sells bowling balls and bowling paraphernalia.
Now think about this.
I have put up a web site that attracts about 70 NEW people every
day and I have let their search engine searches tell me what they
want. I then put found web sites that sell the products they want
and I put those links on my site. Now I get a commission for
every sale that is made.
I have no inventory. I do not collect their credit cards numbers.
I do not have to deal with returns or complaints. I just get a
nice check every month from the different web sites that I
recommend. No heavy lifting required!
AND I recommend a variety of products on each page so that my
visitors are sure to find something that interests them.
Would you like to know what this niche is?
Maybe I shouldn’t tell you! You might go into competition with
me. Oh well, here it is:
Wedding Invitations!
Yeah, you heard right. Something I know next to nothing about,
but still make money at. Why, because I have let the people in a
particular niche tell me what they want through their searches on
the search engines. And I have found those products in these
affiliate product “clearing houses”.
There are a few more tricks that I will develop in subsequent
posts, but the first trick is navigating your way through these
affiliate programs like ClickBank, Commission Junction and
LinkShare. These are complicated sites that can chew up a lot of
time trying to figure out how to apply for the right affiliate
programs, how to search for the right products and how to find
the right affiliate links to put on your web site.
I have spent a great deal of time working with these web sites.
Again, these are not easy sites to navigate.
But, I have made a video tutorial to help you find your way. Of
course these sites are free to use, but if you want the step-by-
step detail of how to set up your account, how to search for
products and how to find the links to put on your web site,
emails, Yahoo groups and newsletters…then you will have to
invest $10.
I will show you every mouse click you need to start profiting
from these sites that carry every imaginable product under the
sun. Even if you already have a web site, couldn’t you stand to
offer your customers a few more choices?
So, save yourself a lot of time and use my video tutorial to
start finding these great products to put on your web site.
And once you do this with one site, then you can find other
niches and create sites for them as well. Pretty soon, you will
have a bunch of mini oil wells…each pumping a little cash into
your pocket.
Enough of those oil wells, and you can say “goodbye” to that 9-5
job!

PS. The testimonies are rolling in and my beta testing is coming
to a close. My new product is getting closer and closer to
completion. Now, there will be NO EXCUSE for not having an online
business!

Excellent Steve … just what I have been looking for … and the right price too. Thankyou so much. I will go for it, and let you know what happens.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for some really insperational ideas through your news letters, I have a question,
We live in New Zealand and want to know if affiliate products have to be local ? If not are comissions paid in US dollars?
And last but not least What is the first step?
In God we trust
Ross
Ross,
Affiliate products do not have to be local because you are directing your visitors to affiliate sites all over the world.
As far as payment, if you use the big three affiliate “clearing houses” like ClickBank, Linkshare and Share-a-Sale…they usually pay in US dollars.
Meaning, you can sign up with one of these affiliate “clearing houses” and gain access to literally thousands of companies. And the neat thing is that you get one check from the clearing house. You don’t get a dozen checks from a dozen different companies.
Of course, there are many independent affiliate programs as well. If you see a cool site that has a product you would like to promote, look at the web site’s links and see if they have an affiliate program.
Where to start? You can sign up for a free account with any of the big affiliate “clearing houses” and grab a text link from their “get links” page that will have your unique affiliate information included. You can then write a few paragraphs recommending the product and at the end of your recommendation write: “for more details, click on the link below”.
You can post your recommendation and text affiliate link in an email, on a blog, on a news group, on a Yahoo group, on your web site…basically anywhere you can leave a message, you can use your affiliate link.
One thing you should keep in mind. When you recommend a product, keep it simple, keep it short and tell your reader what is in it for them. How will they benefit from this product? Will it save them time? Will it save them money? Will it make them money? Will it save them pain?
How will this product you are recommending help them do what they want to do? And once you find a few related products, you can create a niche site. For an example of this, visit:

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
Blessings,
Steve Beck
