No Risk Market Selection

Submitted by Lisa on Thursday, 20 November 200812 Comments

Is there really such a thing as no risk market selection? Don’t I wish!

Truly, there’s risk involved with anything we do in life, down to getting out of bed in the morning. But if you follow this blueprint, I think you’ll agree it’s about as risk free in the world of online marketing as you’re going to get.

I’ve done everything I can to simplify the system I use to uncover and test out hot niches (without wasting tons of my time or breaking the bank). I’ve broken down my exact system into step-by-step instructions even the beginner can follow.

Here’s an overview of what you’re going to be doing …

You are going to become an affiliate in your test niche. Your test niche is the niche you are trying to determine if YOU can make a profit in (notice ‘you’ is in bold; I truly believe that many folks just aren’t meant to be selling in certain niches).

You are going to become an affiliate to a popular product in your test niche so that you can …

1) Build a list.
2) Find ‘keyword to product’ matches. It’s very important that you know which keywords are searched for by buyers. Not all keywords convert the same. If there’s anything you should get out of this blueprint, it’s the simple fact that some keywords convert better than others.

That way if you decide to really roll-it-out with the niche and create your own product, you already have two major assets; a list of potential buyers and a list of highly converting keywords (plus you have an additional bonus … an income stream).

Having these assets makes launching almost any new product practically a no-brainer. Best of all, after you have these assets you can leverage them when seeking out potential JV partners. I can guarantee that if you approach JV Partners with these assets under your belt, they’ll be more excited to help you out than if you don’t have anything at all.

As you will see, there’s more to the system than just building a list of potential buyers and compiling highly converting keywords, but these are the key factors.

The whole point of this blueprint is to get to the point where you start seeing results as quickly as possible so you can pick up in speed from there!

Momentum can really build once you start to see results so we’re going to begin with what I call the Assessment phase in the first module which will be posted next …

    Well, Lisa. Everything is starting from a scratch, as long as we’ve given our best, then we should be no regretted about it…

    Lisa,

    Thanks for your generosity in producing this series and at such a great price:-)

    I’m really looking forward to this to help crack what, for me, is a hard nut.

    It’s allot more work these days to do it right. I spend allot of time in my Wordtracker account creating lists of keywords and the competition level for them.

    But you are so right about the testing aspect. If you keep testing you usually come across an AFF program or a batch of keywords that pay off.

    Hi Lisa,
    Thanks for the great post and I look forward to the coming posts.

    It will be nice to great an incremental introduction and education on affiliate marketing.

    I’ve been working on getting up and running but keep running into obstacles, your affiliate marketing blueprint series will definitely help me.

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Great start! Looking forward to the series.

  • Phil said:

    Can I suggest you put the entire course in to a PDF and make it available at extra charge?

    It can be a lot easier to study a course in print, and it’s great to be able to print the whole thing at once.

    Thanks for the course!

    Testing is everything and it’s not something you can easily take a break from and still come out on top. :)

    Great method, but I think building a list can be just hard as traffic and conversion. So, I am anxious for any advice you have on that topic.

  • Andy said:

    It’s easier to reseach the niche that others have done but this won’t give you great profit. Like you said every little thing in life has risk, more risk –> more potential profit, less risk–> less protential profit because everyone has a piece from it already

    Testing is really important, and in every aspect of affiliate marketing, like Adsense earnings for instance where you have to tweak positioning to see financial results.

    It does really help that the niche you are looking to be a part of is something you are interested in. Too often bloggers pick because they feel it is a niche that is not filled but they are just not interested in the topic which shows in how they present it.
