I was talking to some of my friends who used to promote and they said in the beginning they used to make good money and now everything is too saturated and money doesn't really come in anymore. How do you find niches that aren't over saturated? There's 10,000's of affiliate programs to promote only a small few have high ratings does that mean all others have been tried and are crap?
Yep listen to your friends everything is too saturated. no one should become and affiliate anymore its a waste of time.... Nothing is ever to saturated as long as you are smart and creative.
Everyday marketers are born, every day products are born, everyday consumers are born. Everyday marketers die, everyday products die, everyday consumers die. Nothing will get saturated If you know how to market products, you can make money. If you are very good, you can make lots of money There are only 2 percent of marketers out there, other 98 percent are just newbies trying to crack the code and make money,. More and more consumers are migrating online.Affiliates is lacking. Go and fill the gap.
try to search out some products that are not from clickbank .... everyone starts here for some reason. I first became profitable when I branched out from clickbank good luck
Like go to where? I don't trust people who do there own tracking they can hide your commissions very easy.
I agree with the previous post about other places instead of clickbank, try paydotcom, affiliatefuture, affiliatenetworks etc do a general google search for affiliate networks and you will be faced with a list of affiliate products outside of clickbank. Im sure that when your searching through you will start getting many new ideas for niche products. Why not grab some plr content and make your own info products to sell within niche forums etc help get you going. Or as a stand by for all try selling your own service or product within ebay. Although there was a recent digital download ban on ebay you can get around this by burning your product to cd and selling it, usually with it being a physical product some people would be willing to pay more than with a digital ebook.
I do think in some ways it's harder now than it used to be. But in other ways it's easier I don't believe it's too saturated. I think the market for digital products is still expanding.
I don't think things will ever be too saturated. Sure, there are a lot of folks doing this, but I am finding new "eyeballs" all the time.
As long as there are affiliates pushing products there will be customers, and if there are more affiliates, there are more custmers buying things. It all evens out
Don't let people tell you it's too saturated they may be taking you off course so they can keep making money themselves, I recently had a guru try to turn my head from Adwords and found out that's where he makes a killing. Don't listen to people and move forward.
It is not really about over saturation, it is about your ability to learn the ropes of the trade and stand out from the crowd.
