Just read this after having done it in the slightly wrong order for my first site. Will check average commissions asap before committing further.
To come up with brandable names, use https://namelix.com/ . Note: They will suggest premium domains (normally .com) for several thousand USTT, but you can get the same brand at another TLD for much less (.io, .net, etc.)
Hey BTT, quick question, I was planning on building a site in the pet dog niche, but it seems like that there is tons of competition out there. Should I focus on a specific breed (say French Bulldog which I own) or try something else please? I thought senior living but that would fall under YAML which you recommend against. Alternatively I thought LinkedIn Advertising - could do youtube walkthroughs without showing my face and could create a course
I thought that green energy and living sustainably would be a decent trend. The government just passed a giant bill that will promote green solutions. This is a big theme that won't be going away any time soon. So I expect it to be full of opportunities, but I also expect a lot of competition.
The google trends for a lot of those works are all up upward trajectories, and there are tons of products with decent commissions.
But it's going to be crowded. How do you vet crowded vs. saturated?
Question on this: Looking at starting my first affiliate site. A topic I know a lot about and think there's potentially a substantial marketplace for is stress. It's something I've been exposed to an unusual amount of because of my background, and have deep knowledge of.
The issue is that a lot of the keywords are hyper competitive and are held by sites I probably can't compete with (WebMD etc). Would you advise avoiding this situation?
Great guide, it seems this is a major sticking pooint for many. Me too. Decided to go with the "outdoor home improvement" niche as a first experiment, subniche "balcony improvement". Would "balcony" be a silo or should I silo it down more, e.g. "waterproofing balconies"?
Trying to avoid analysis paralysis…stuck between choosing dating niche or home decor. Can write lots of content with dating but can’t market lots of product. Home Decor I’m less knowledgeable so it would be a learning curve but more products to market with more potential sales. Any advice?
I went with skin care solutions for xyz problem. I can write about this topic for eons… but How do I go about finding products to promote with high AOV. All I see for high AOV on CJ is random equipment the average person cannot afford.
The rest are small products that earn way less than 50$ Commission. Maybe I should not do this niche. Also skincare is ymyl correct? Sucks because I already bought the domain ..installed Wordpress and plugins etc..and want to do this as a longterm brand.
This is the issue I see with other beginners. We get tripped up in the beginning.. not bcz of laziness but because we just need to be steered in the right direction abit. E.g I’m currently in amazing shape (8% bf year round) & I always give beginners who ask a list of shit I wish I didn’t do that would save me 2 years of worthless workouts.
Pointing the ship in the right direction can be the difference between going completely off course and wasting months of energy that could have been used the right way
Love this. Looking to go into spirituality/religion/psychology. Would you narrow it down for a niche before starting the work with surfer and creating silos, or start as board as "spirituality" etc.?

How do you tell if a trend is saturated?

Do you recommend affiliate marketing through substack?

Just found this post after being subbed for a month or so and been working on an "evergreen" website. (stats: 27 clicks, 436 impressions, in 3mo)
Got me thinking, I should explore the motorcycle niche. Something I actually like.
I initially didn't do it because I was following people preaching the "evergreen" strategy.
But with this article in mind, seems like if you create a brand like, "MotoManiacs", and write ALL things motorcycle...Then GTG?
Am I thinking about it right or moto would be a stupid niche since it's more of a visual, YouTube style niche?

I feel stuck and I’ve barely begun

Maybe, I'm reading this wrong...but it seems like the 50 USTT commission is high.
Looking at 3 month EPC against the sale %
Something like 3 month EPC of 78.46 and 10% commission only comes out to 7.846?
