What Is an Affiliate Marketing Niche Website?

hello and welcome to the affiliate
website masterclass i'm your instructor
dom and
i'm going to show you how to build an
affiliate marketing niche website i've
been an affiliate marketer for the past
four years
full time for the last two i've built a
couple of these websites and i think a
lot of people still don't know they
exist
so i want to take this video and kind of
explain the overall strategy behind
niche websites
and kind of what a niche website is but
in case you're completely green and have
no idea what affiliate marketing is
here's a quick rundown affiliate
marketing is basically when you take an
offer
usually a product from a well-known
company and you place it in front of a
specific audience
using a unique link your links as an
affiliate are unique so that the company
that you're referring people to
know that the the customers came from
you specifically
now when somebody that you refer goes
through your link and buys a product
that company's gonna pay you a
commission
that commission is usually anywhere
between five and ten percent for
physical products
and somewhere between forty and sixty
percent for digital products
and this is not something that's new in
fact many well-known brands have
affiliate programs that just about
anybody can sign up for so let's hop
into my computer real quick and i'll
show you some examples of well-known
affiliate programs
all right so we're here on my computer
we're on amazon.com the world's
largest online retailer and actually if
we scroll all the way to the bottom of
this page
you'll see right down here there's a
little link that says become an
affiliate we're going to click on this
and this will take us over to the amazon
associates program which
is amazon's affiliate program and just
like i explained before
once you sign up you're going to get a
unique link you can then recommend
products from amazon and when people buy
you'll earn up to a 10 commission on the
sale and it's not just amazon that does
this
if you hop on over to target's website
target has a similar program except they
pay up to eight percent commission
same thing with best buy best buy also
has an affiliate program that you can
sign up and you can earn
and it's not just the big box general
store retailers either if you're into
outdoor stuff
bass pro shops also has an affiliate
program that you can join and i could go
on forever there's thousands tens of
thousands maybe even hundreds of
thousands of affiliate programs in every
niche that you can think of now there
are many strategies that people use to
get their affiliate links in front of
their potential customers
a lot of people just post them on social
media some people start a youtube
channel
others start a podcast i mean the
strategies are limitless
however few strategies offer the passive
income the way that a niche website does
a niche website is something that we can
build once and then once it's producing
revenue
we can walk away from it and let it
produce revenue pretty much forever
and this program is going to teach you
how to build that type of website
these websites are usually very small
somewhere between 20 and 30 articles
and they target a very specific niche
sub niches actually
so for instance if we wanted to do
something in the food category
we're not just going to make a general
food site because we're going to be
competing with
every single food network site out there
so instead we're going to get really
really specific and we're going to do
something like
football snack helmets you've probably
seen these before
and there's a website dedicated to
nothing but that take a look here
i know that this website does about
twenty five hundred dollars a month in
revenue this website talks about nothing
except those little football helmets
that you can put snacks in and you've
definitely seen these before you see if
i go on the website here and i click
choose my team
it's going to take me over to amazon and
have a little football snack helmet
if i end up purchasing that helmet the
person who owns the website is going to
earn a commission on the sale
let's check out another niche let's say
something like cleaning you don't want
to go into the cleaning niche
you want to go all the way down to say
vacuum cleaners this website is called
vacuumsguide.com and they talk about
nothing but vacuum cleaners
and if you come down here it's the same
thing they talk about vacuum cleaners
and if you click on one it'll take you
right on over to amazon where you can
buy that vacuum cleaner
if i end up buying the vacuum cleaner
that person earns a sale as you can tell
you can apply this strategy to literally
any niche
and in fact the more strange and mundane
the better because there's less
competition
when there's less competition in the
space it's easier to get traffic it's
easier to make
sales and once you figure it out in one
niche you can take the skills and apply
it to any niche that you want online
you could make a vacuum cleaner site a
football snack helmet site
i saw a site about water filters i mean
the possibilities are limitless
car parts is another one but not just
car parts transmission oil coolers
again we're looking to get very very
specific here with these websites
now in the next video i'm going to talk
about the actual anatomy of a website
and the parts that we're going to be
building specifically
i wanted to use this video as just a
general overview and strategy of what
we're doing
so now you know what we're going to be
doing on the next video you'll learn
about what we're going to be building
