When you choose a product, the articles you write will be based around the product area it is based in. These products vary greatly and almost every area you can imagine will have a product available. Of course, some will be harder to find than others but then this may be a goldmine if there are other people waiting to buy it.
This area the product is based in is commonly referred to as a niche. Make money, Health and sports are all niches themselves but these are far too broad to be able to target effectively.
There are literally thousands and thousands of products available in each of these niches. For this guide, you will need to drill down inside the bigger niches and find some much more targeted.
For example, inside health is beauty, and then inside the beauty niche is acne. To get even more targeted, you could then look for adult acne products. See how easy that is? You simply need to thin k of an area and try to narrow down inside it.
Don’t worry too much if that sounds hard to you, as I will show you later on how you can drill down into the niches by using the tools available to you through a free website.
Before you can write articles on your chosen niche you need to do some keyword research. This is where you identify what people are typing into the search engines that relate to the niche you are targeting.
If someone does end up buying through your referral the amount you earn depends on the commission paid and the value of the product.
Some of the better known affiliate networks include:

These networks have different levels of pay outs. Some will give you 2% to 5% whereas others a more generous and you can get anywhere up to 70% of the sale price.
Other networks will pay more in tiers based on the number of buyers you refer and give more incentives to those that send a lot of customers their way which can also be lucrative if your campaign is working well.
