Cyber Marketing As an Affiliate
Choosing Your Niche The longest journey begins with just the first step but would you make that step if you didn't have a plan of where you were going, the answer is obviously no.
Someone once wrote that a fool with a plan will do better than a clever person without one so begin by writing down your objectives and desires.
Your plan doesn't have to be in great detail but will include amongst other things the product, or products you wish to market, the method and how much you are prepared to spend, this will be your point of focus, type it up keep it close and refer to it often.
Just read again the previous paragraph; especially consider "the product, or products you wish to market".
Anything wrong here, there certainly is and here is a major warning to everyone wishing to make money in any market.
You do not pick a product you wish to sell or that just appeals to you, if this is to be run as a business you choose a product the market WANTS and is prepared to PAY for.
Memorize the following.
Value is defined as "what they want.
" Not what they need.
Not what you think they need.
Not what you think they should want.
Not what you're sure will make them happy.
What they want.
The more powerful the want, the more you can charge for fulfilling it.
And the happier they'll be to pay you for it.
Find out what they want, and give it to them.
It's that simple I have deliberately taken this approach to highlight a huge error perpetrated by so many so called Experts who advise promoting products with which you are familiar or passionate or hobby products.
Take their advice and your business is dead in the water.
Ask yourself, which is going to be easier to promote and sell? Something that is in demand or something that fits in with your hobby but has interest only to fellow hobbyists? You must find a niche market where the products are in high demand, what is that you may ask.
Well quite simply a niche market is a specific group of people looking for a solution to a problem.
Now some may correctly argue that niche markets can also be supplying hard to get commodities such as signal box signs from the 19th century.
True very true but they will not make you money, the real money is in providing solutions to common problems.
