Wouldn’t it be nice to make more than the 3% that Amazon offers for all the hard work it took you to write that one blog post?
Personally, I think that every niche is different and requires a different approach and I actually really like Amazon’s affiliate program, but we can definitely save those thoughts for another post.
Today I want to show you how you can get some really high commissions for products people actually want and need through the most profitable niches that favor the world of affiliate marketing.
As an affiliate marketer you always want to make the most money for your efforts and you definitely don’t want to leave any money on the table either.
Regardless of science or whatever statistics we want to follow through our marketing efforts, how can we make higher commissions as an affiliate marketer?
There are many niches out there but I want to cover the main topics that can be broken down into actual niches that can build you an online empire just from narrowing down something so simple.
Evergreen Products
Sure you would want to go with something you’re actually passionate about when starting a blog but once things start to pickup and you start making money, you should always look into evolving and growing your business.
Essentially, you want to go with a product or service that will be around forever, which is what we as online marketers call evergreen products.
Something that fills that need and something that provides what consumers crave for is what will most likely be around for a really long time..
If you can supply those two things, along with one of the chosen niches below, I’m sure you will find success in the online world.
Does Your Niche Solve Problems and/or Trigger Emotions?
The biggest sellers online are always going to be those that provide that missing piece to one’s problems.
Why you might ask?
Well, as humans, we are very emotional and tend to do things based on how we feel.
If someone told me this product will help me get over my ex, I would definitely consider buying it as I want to do exactly that.
If you told me this product will make me money and you told me enough to convince me that it will in fact do just that, I might have to at least give it a try.
You see where I’m going with this?
Well here are the most profitable niches with the highest paying products that you can ever find on the net, that will be around forever.
Dating
Who doesn’t date and who doesn’t go through problems?
Every single day someone is meeting a new partner, getting married, divorced, or getting into some type of relationship issue and that’s just part of this thing called life.
This is one of the most profitable niches on the net and although it may seem too competitive, I guess I can show you how to cash in on one niche most people write off because they think they can’t compete.
First, you want to narrow things down especially as a one man blogger.
Until you start making money with your blog, investing can come at a later date, so let’s just focus on the bare bones of any successful blogging business.
Dating can cover many sub-niches and it is definitely too broad.
So how do we narrow this down?
Well, let’s start with even just a demographic alone.
Young – old
Women – men
Teenagers – senior citizens
Then we can go into something even more detailed like…
“How to win your ex-back”
“How to become better at talking to women/men”
“Dating books”
Couples fight, cheat, love, hate, get married, divorced and everything in between, so can you see how much something so simple as “dating” can be broken down?
There are so many ways to narrow things down in the dating topic alone and once you can find your actual niche, you can start looking for a domain name and building out that first website.
This is very exciting stuff and finding that niche is a huge step in your online career.
once that is done, you can head on over to Max Bounty and other high paying affiliate sites find those high converting offers that give the highest commissions I have seen in regards to the dating niche.
For those of you who have actually gone through some problems as far as marriage and that type of stuff, this is a great time to share your experience with the online world and start making some money for it.
Talk about a nice little way to turn something negative into something life changing.
Making More Money
This is the best niche ever and for many reasons at that.
I mean, who in the world do you know that does NOT want to make more money?
Who is struggling and most likely hates their job?
There is so many ways to go about this broad topic that it is really impossible to not make it in this niche although others might think otherwise.
If you can learn to master the art of “niching down” you can capitalize on the most profitable niche on the planet, especially this one.
When money is involved, people get emotional and oftentimes will pull the trigger when it comes to paying for something that will once again, solve their problems.
As a young parent, I turned to the internet to not only make money but I wanted to spend more time with my family and I’m sure a lot of you have done the same.
Believe it or not, that is a niche in itself and of course has an audience of millions upon millions of people.
Retirees, veterans, college kids, teenagers, parents, and almost every single type of person out there can use some extra cash.
Choose one of those topics and even that can still be broken down.
Are you seeing just how many niches can be pulled from a simple topic?
A simple site on helping those that hate their job can create an audience of millions and that my friend, is only a small part of the whole making money topic.
Thanks to programs like Wealthy Affiliate, you are not only able to show people how to make more money (solve their problem) but you are also able to make money as well.
As long as you’re showing others a legitimate way to make money, you should be good to go.
Focus on helping rather than selling and you’ll see how much your business can really grow.
Health & Fitness
Probably the most profitable niche but also the one that is not used properly.
I seriously don’t even know where to start as there is just so much to talk about, so know that this is probably the least competitive even if it seems watered down.
The way I would tackle this is by starting with a problem, like always.
John, I want to lose weight.
Okay, we have a nice starting point.
Now is there a specific part of your body that you would like to focus on?
Your abs?
Behind those arms?
Just one of those alone has an audience of millions of people yet super targeted and an easy way to be the authority.
How about some yoga, cycling, running and then adding a demographic to that?
There are endless niches that can be uncovered in this department alone and if you are a health nut or a gym rat that thinks this market is played out, you might want to think again.
Gadgets
Definitely the most popular and very much profitable even if you don’t get high commissions.
As spoiled brats, we all love gadgets and most of our money is spent on them alone.
Every single year there is going to be some type of gadget that comes out and then the next best version of that product will follow come next year and the cycle will repeat itself.
I like apple’s products because they are solid and actually really good but I can’t stand their marketing because it is what causes us to purchase a lot of their products in the first place.
Out of all the niches on this list, this would probably be the most competitive of them all and it is going to take a lot of hard work and patience to make it in this world.
But…
If you can narrow it down to a specific gadget and/or audience, you can bet that you will still be able to make money no matter what type of competition is out there.
Computer mice (or is it called mouses?) for example.
Who would want to talk about such a simple thing?
That’s what we think until you use keyword tools like Jaaxy that show us just how many people are actually looking for more info for something so simple.
Weird or cool gadgets was something that I was interested in but I found it to be a bit broad.
So narrow this whole gadget thing down if you do decide to get into this niche.
Gaming
I know nothing about gaming besides the fact that there are millions of people that are super into it and that there is so much money being spent.
Being around many gamers in my life, I can tell you that they put little thought when it comes time to buying that next console or the latest release of a game.
Then I didn’t know that people are actually playing these games on PC’s!
By providing these gamers with the headsets, mice, and flat out information, you can hit it big with a simple niche on this topic.
For as long as I’ve been doing affiliate marketing, this is one niche that I wish I was actually into as I see there is so much potential that even a simple site on PC gaming will be a big hit.
Pets
This is not only an enjoyable niche but one that has its owners spending crazy amounts of cash.
From the food they eat to the toys they play with, all the way to a specific breed, there are so many niches that can be pulled from just pets.
Dogs and cats are the obvious pets but weird pets is one thing that I find interesting as I see a lot of people having pet pigs and stuff like that, which I’m sure there is a huge market for.
From toys to books on these animals will definitely fill your pockets with affiliate commissions as there are billions of dollars spent on these products every single year.
If you own a pet or even looking to get one, learning your niche is a great way to build out an affiliate site.
Once again, this is one niche that isn’t going anywhere and also has room for anyone to make millions of dollars.
Personal Development
I have issues and I’m sure you do too and the point here is that we all can improve in some part of our lives, no matter how perfect we think we are.
Period.
The thing about this niche is that there is so much money being spent on nothing but pure information!
Being apart of this thing called the digital age and most especially as affiliate marketers, we are able to make money by simply providing this information that they already needed in the first place.
From books to real life coaching, there is a market for every part of this topic that I’m sure a lot of you are experts in your own little way.
Clickbank has boatloads of products in this niche and a lot of the time they offer over 50% commissions.
Digital products are easy to sell these days and if you know more than the average bear about becoming a better employee or just flat out winning in life, there are millions of people who can benefit from you.
Commissions in this niche are through the roof and one sale can land you a nice chunk of change.
Conclusion
Every single niche mentioned above have everything needed to be profitable as well as pay out affiliates some nice commissions but they all have the same recipe for success.
They all solve a problem and they all are not going anywhere for as long as we live.
There’s nothing better than making money by simply providing the world with solutions to these problems and is one of the biggest reasons why I love this so called job of mine.
By narrowing down any topic we have covered today, I’m sure that you can create a very profitable business no matter what.
If you know nothing about affiliate marketing, today is a great day to get with the program and try something like Wealthy Affiliate or MLSP (my favorite).
Both offer amazing training and tools to take any affiliate marketer to another level, so give them a try and you will see why you only need them to succeed online.
Until next time, I hope this article has not only showed you what niches are profitable that offer great commissions but also a better understanding of how profitable affiliate marketing really is.
