- 0:33 | click the link in the description below
- 0:35 | enter your email sign up for that and
- 0:36 | let’s get into the topic for today
- 0:41 | so first it’s really simple actually
- 0:43 | when we use a gpt4 or 3.5 even you can
- 0:46 | use either one we want to put in a
- 0:48 | prompt to find niches generally so we
- 0:50 | can say what are the best affiliate
- 0:51 | marketing niches for beginners to make
- 0:52 | money they should have low competition
- 0:54 | on Google be easy to rank for and
- 0:55 | lucrative and we can see what it’ll come
- 0:57 | up with
- 0:58 | so it gives you a pretty good base of
- 1:00 | information there’s Evergreen niches
- 1:01 | like dog care there’s yoga meditation
- 1:03 | gardening astronomy and inside you can
- 1:06 | different sub niches you could do things
- 1:08 | like telescope star Maps astronomy
- 1:10 | related products home automation
- 1:11 | podcasting so we can take this a step
- 1:13 | further and say okay give me
- 1:17 | 10 more niches that are in the outdoor
- 1:20 | niche
- 1:22 | and easy to rank for and lucrative so we
- 1:25 | can just narrow it down to like specific
- 1:27 | Outdoor Products
- 1:29 | all right so let’s go through these one
- 1:30 | by one and validate them with an SEO
- 1:33 | tool so we have a lot of good ones here
- 1:34 | and this is you know giving you a lot so
- 1:35 | camping for beginners survivalist gear
- 1:37 | eco-friendly gear kayaking outdoor
- 1:40 | activities off-grid living pet friendly
- 1:41 | lightweight hiking outdoor photography
- 1:43 | so let’s just go what we would do is we
- 1:45 | would go by these one by one and see
- 1:47 | what we like best so yes it does make
- 1:48 | sense to know something about some of
- 1:50 | these niches before you get started but
- 1:52 | we’re just trying to find ones that can
- 1:53 | make us money that are easy to rank for
- 1:54 | with keywords that can generate
- 1:56 | affiliate Revenue so I’m going to use
- 1:58 | the ahrefs keyword Explorer I’m going to
- 2:00 | put in the first one which is camping
- 2:01 | with the word best which signifies buyer
- 2:04 | intent so if someone’s searching for the
- 2:05 | best camping gear tents poles whatever
- 2:08 | it is they’re using the word best
- 2:10 | they’re not ready to buy they’re looking
- 2:11 | for a Blog to provide that a comparative
- 2:13 | content and generate affiliate Revenue
- 2:15 | so if we go to the matching terms tool
- 2:17 | we can see all the different camping
- 2:18 | variations so in general camping when
- 2:21 | you think about it think about your
- 2:22 | Niche with chat GPT and it’s like has it
- 2:24 | been around for a long time like camping
- 2:26 | you know and camping blogs have been
- 2:28 | around for a long time so it’s a little
- 2:29 | bit more competitive we see that there’s
- 2:30 | numbers here like 45 50s so this is a
- 2:33 | number from 0 to 100 based on the
- 2:35 | competition of the keyword so the lower
- 2:37 | number the better the easier to rank for
- 2:39 | the less competition there is so it
- 2:41 | looks like you know camping is mildly
- 2:42 | competitive some of the easier ones to
- 2:44 | rank for would be like camping cots and
- 2:47 | things like camping pillows you’ll
- 2:49 | generally see in any Niche that the
- 2:51 | lower price the product the less
- 2:52 | competitive it is because people want to
- 2:54 | make the highest commissions on higher
- 2:55 | priced products which is why things like
- 2:57 | camping tents is more competitive than
- 3:00 | camping cots or camping stoves but what
- 3:02 | we can do here is we can take it a step
- 3:04 | further and we can drop that difficulty
- 3:05 | down to only show things with
- 3:07 | difficulties up to 20. and we can see a
- 3:10 | lot of different interesting articles
- 3:11 | that we can write so we’ll see that a
- 3:13 | lot of these lower competition ones are
- 3:15 | related to camping in certain States so
- 3:17 | that’s actually more informational
- 3:18 | content that’s not really affiliate
- 3:20 | content but what we can do is we can
- 3:22 | exclude the word in
- 3:24 | from the search so that it’ll say you
- 3:26 | know it might still show a few of them
- 3:28 | but it’ll be less so it’ll be a lot
- 3:29 | easier to use so we can see pillow knife
- 3:32 | pillows camping tables Hatchet axes
- 3:34 | showers generator snacks fans blankets
- 3:37 | tons of things here flashlights
- 3:39 | generators apps so griddles like all
- 3:42 | kinds of different stuff and when you
- 3:44 | see this number in ahref this is saying
- 3:45 | there’s 350 searches per month for best
- 3:48 | pop-up tent for camping now this is only
- 3:51 | related to this one keyword best pop-up
- 3:53 | tent for camping if I were to actually
- 3:55 | click into that and see how many you
- 3:56 | know what’s the lowest number I should
- 3:58 | go after well you should go after
- 3:59 | anything like over 50 because what tends
- 4:01 | to happen is yes this is best to pop up
- 4:04 | tent for camping the volume is 350 but
- 4:07 | the traffic potential the traffic you
- 4:08 | can actually get when ranking for this
- 4:10 | is more like 4 000 because you could
- 4:12 | actually start ranking for lots of
- 4:13 | keywords so if I were to click into one
- 4:15 | of these like this site
- 4:16 | beyondthetent.com and I looked at all
- 4:18 | the keywords that they were ranking for
- 4:20 | they’re actually there’s one articles
- 4:21 | ranking for 1100 keywords and different
- 4:24 | variations because when you think about
- 4:25 | it for affiliate marketing everyone
- 4:27 | searches a little bit differently like I
- 4:28 | search differently than my grandma does
- 4:30 | than my brother does so people could be
- 4:31 | searching best pop-up tent for camping
- 4:33 | or biggest pop-up tent or easy pop-up
- 4:36 | tents large small all instant and you’ll
- 4:39 | see that in this these are all different
- 4:42 | keywords but Google is condensing it
- 4:44 | down into one topic one thing so Google
- 4:46 | knows like yeah everyone searches a
- 4:48 | little bit differently but let’s
- 4:49 | condense it down into one specific topic
- 4:52 | so I would say in general when you’re
- 4:55 | looking at keywords anything that’s over
- 4:56 | like 50 it could be a good really good
- 4:58 | opportunity even 10. sometimes if you
- 5:00 | know the niche really well a tool like
- 5:02 | hrefs or another SEO tool might say zero
- 5:04 | but you know like no way that’s zero so
- 5:06 | you can spot Trends and get ahead of it
- 5:08 | real quick today’s video is brought to
- 5:09 | you by HubSpot so since we’re talking

- 6:16 | this free resource and it comes fully
- 6:18 | recommended by me so what’s interesting
- 6:20 | here we can go try survivalist gear now
- 6:22 | and we can see like there’s emergency
- 6:23 | food survival kits first aid kits focus
- 6:26 | more on Survival than outdoor activities
- 6:27 | so we could put in like best survival
- 6:29 | and see what comes up so there’s things
- 6:31 | like survival kits food kits a lot of
- 6:33 | it’s related to games and things that
- 6:35 | are a little bit unrelated but you could
- 6:36 | do like first Aid you can do emergency
- 6:38 | food you kind of have to put sometimes
- 6:40 | put those sub niches in to find where
- 6:41 | the actual opportunities are you can see
- 6:43 | there’s tons of different first aid kits
- 6:45 | you could write about and recommend with
- 6:46 | Amazon’s affiliate program home car you
- 6:50 | know the best ones survival ones dogs
- 6:52 | all kinds of different things there so a
- 6:54 | lot of opportunities uh in that Niche so
- 6:56 | the next one is eco-friendly outdoor
- 6:58 | gear so let’s try his best solar if
- 7:01 | we’re really interested in outdoor
- 7:02 | living rving camping the van life we see
- 7:05 | best solar panels generators so these
- 7:07 | are going to be really competitive like
- 7:08 | best solar panels and companies there’s
- 7:10 | a lot of money probably in cost per lead
- 7:12 | acquisition for people talking about the
- 7:14 | best solar companies again let’s drop
- 7:15 | that difficulty down to 20 and we’ll
- 7:17 | find if these are actually good
- 7:18 | opportunities or not so yeah there’s a
- 7:20 | lot here so you can see here’s 50
- 7:21 | articles that you could write some of
- 7:23 | them might be duplicates but best solar
- 7:25 | power bank phone charger pool covers so
- 7:28 | you could do like an entire blog about
- 7:29 | eco-friendly products with solar as one
- 7:31 | of your sub niches again we’re looking
- 7:33 | for sub niches here but we don’t have to
- 7:35 | pick just one specific one perfect Niche
- 7:37 | and call ourselves the
- 7:39 | solarperson.com right or the
- 7:41 | solarguy.com or girl what we want to do
- 7:43 | is like we want to dominate multiple sub
- 7:45 | niches in a broader one which is much
- 7:47 | like we create an eco-friendly blog we
- 7:49 | could write 100 articles on solar stuff
- 7:51 | we could write another 100 articles on
- 7:53 | biodegradable products and all kinds of
- 7:55 | different things and it’s really about
- 7:56 | just expanding your topical Authority in
- 7:59 | that area so yes we want to generate
- 8:00 | affiliate revenue and find the best
- 8:02 | niches for chat GPT and what can make us
- 8:03 | the most money but we also need
- 8:05 | informational content to support those
- 8:07 | transactional articles so let’s look at
- 8:09 | the next one which is kayaks
- 8:11 | so we can do best kayak
- 8:14 | and really when we think about like the
- 8:16 | affiliate Revenue potential we’ll do
- 8:18 | some math on it and think about it but
- 8:20 | really when it comes down to it it’s
- 8:21 | like there’s a really simple formula for
- 8:23 | it so it’s like how high priced is the
- 8:25 | product that you’re recommending and
- 8:26 | then what’s the commission rate and
- 8:28 | there’s a few other things like how many
- 8:29 | searches does it get and how much
- 8:31 | traffic can you get for it but really
- 8:33 | you know it’s a simple equation if it’s
- 8:34 | a higher priced product and you can
- 8:36 | assume in an e-commerce physical product
- 8:38 | Niche you can get like eight to ten
- 8:40 | percent commission just just do back of
- 8:42 | the napkin math on that so we’re talking
- 8:44 | about a kayak maybe you could recommend
- 8:46 | a 500 kayak a two thousand dollar kayak
- 8:49 | that’s kind of the range of pricing
- 8:50 | typically so that is obviously more
- 8:52 | lucrative than a solar flashlight or
- 8:55 | something like that right so think about
- 8:56 | the product think about Amazon what it
- 8:57 | costs and how much money you can
- 8:59 | actually make if you’re selling a bunch
- 9:00 | of them we’ll do the math in the future
- 9:01 | but kayaking is another good
- 9:03 | opportunities inflatable kayak
- 9:05 | kayak for beginners paddles fish finders
- 9:08 | Brands roof racks accessories carts
- 9:11 | ocean kayaks Troll trawling Motors
- 9:14 | folding kayaks you know this is you know
- 9:17 | the outdoor physical product Niche is
- 9:19 | ripe with opportunity out there because
- 9:20 | when you think about the niches that can
- 9:23 | make the most money well we have to
- 9:25 | first we have to rank for a lot of this
- 9:26 | stuff and a lot of keywords not just one
- 9:28 | it’s not always just a single high
- 9:30 | ticket thing that we want to rank for we
- 9:32 | want to be able to write a lot of
- 9:33 | Articles and rank a lot of Articles to
- 9:34 | diversify our affiliate revenue and the
- 9:37 | problem sometimes is if we try a super
- 9:38 | competitive Niche like technology or
- 9:41 | software or business things well you’re
- 9:44 | going to be competing against more media
- 9:46 | sites like Forbes the New York Times
- 9:47 | CNET tech radar they’re writing all that
- 9:50 | stuff but there’s not huge media sites
- 9:53 | typically writing about Outdoor Products
- 9:55 | in some indoor products furniture and
- 9:58 | stuff like that so kayaking is another
- 10:00 | great opportunity tons of Articles you
- 10:02 | could write and rank for talking about
- 10:04 | kayaks which are a pretty mid price
- 10:06 | point product all right let’s go to
- 10:07 | Urban outdoor activities so this is
- 10:09 | things like barbecues fishing gear more
- 10:12 | like backyard patio type of stuff rather
- 10:14 | than deep in the wilderness but we could
- 10:16 | do barbecue or like let’s do Grill and
- 10:19 | we can see the opportunities here for
- 10:21 | this Niche so pellet grill gas grill
- 10:23 | charcoal grills again some of them look
- 10:25 | competitive we’ll drop the difficulty
- 10:26 | down to up to 20 and show the results
- 10:28 | and we can see again lots of amazing
- 10:31 | opportunities here writing about grills
- 10:33 | which can also be expensive low end 300
- 10:35 | up to Traeger Grills and smokers pellet
- 10:38 | grills things that are a couple thousand
- 10:40 | dollars up to even probably five
- 10:41 | thousand dollars or more you can do
- 10:43 | things like outdoor pizza ovens patio
- 10:45 | furniture backyard games all of that
- 10:47 | stuff and really make a lot of money
- 10:49 | based on that so you can see just in
- 10:51 | grills specifically here’s 50 articles
- 10:53 | you know there might be some duplicates
- 10:54 | but ones that you can write about girls
- 10:56 | under 500 Sushi outdoor electric meat
- 10:58 | infrared just an insane amount of
- 11:00 | opportunities here with low competition
- 11:01 | so you know you can look into a lot of
- 11:03 | these there’s more like pet friendly
- 11:05 | products dog stuff lightweight
- 11:07 | backpacking so going on Long hiking
- 11:09 | trips with backpacking hiking for
- 11:11 | seniors outdoor photography gear and
- 11:13 | these are just 10 ideas you can say give
- 11:15 | me 10 more please and they’ll give you
- 11:17 | 10 more and then you can keep looking
- 11:18 | and validating this stuff so the
- 11:20 | opportunities are a lot bigger than you
- 11:22 | think so I really like outdoor products
- 11:24 | and physical products like that because
- 11:25 | it’s less competitive you can rank for
- 11:27 | tons of different articles really
- 11:29 | dominate topical Authority so let’s look
- 11:31 | at another tool we could potentially use
- 11:32 | to find these things so let’s say that
- 11:34 | you wanted to rank for kayaks and you
- 11:36 | have here’s 20 articles I’m going to
- 11:38 | write about these different product
- 11:39 | lists and write them out for affiliate
- 11:40 | Revenue well how do we dominate topical
- 11:42 | Authority well you can use a tool like
- 11:44 | meet a glimpse which is a really cool
- 11:46 | extension so it’s a Chrome extension and
- 11:48 | it adds data to Google Trends and it’s a
- 11:51 | new it’s really new I just learned about
- 11:53 | it from our blogging coach Eddie in blog
- 11:55 | growth engine and it’s really cool so
- 11:57 | let me show you this so you can search
- 11:58 | for like kayaking and you can see the
- 12:00 | monthly searches over time so we see
- 12:01 | that the search volume increases in the
- 12:03 | summer which makes sense when people are
- 12:04 | kayaking drops in the winter and you can
- 12:07 | see generally in the last year it’s gone
- 12:08 | down about 11 so maybe people in 2020 oh
- 12:12 | this is actually five years so in the
- 12:14 | past five years it’s gone down a tiny
- 12:15 | bit so nothing really crazy here more
- 12:18 | people in 2020 searching for it probably
- 12:19 | getting out of the pandemic doing more
- 12:21 | outdoor activities but it’s gone down a
- 12:22 | tiny bit but this is really interesting
- 12:24 | so you can then see people also search
- 12:26 | so questions so if you want to write
- 12:28 | informational content around kayaking to
- 12:31 | prop up those transactional affiliate
- 12:33 | posts and dominate Google you would
- 12:35 | write a lot of these so like is kayaking
- 12:37 | good exercise is it safe during
- 12:38 | pregnancy a sport what to wear when
- 12:40 | you’re kayaking is it fun dangerous
- 12:41 | worth it and you can look at all of
- 12:43 | these different things and see that
- 12:45 | there’s lots of different things you can
- 12:46 | search for so things like different
- 12:47 | places and cities can you kayak in
- 12:49 | Yellowstone all of that and you can just
- 12:51 | look down you can see related queries
- 12:53 | pet friend friendly Airbnb is going up
- 12:55 | lots of Trends here kayak rentals dog
- 12:57 | beach easy bikes and all of that and
- 12:59 | what’s really cool as you can see this
- 13:01 | is the topical map so you can see that
- 13:03 | kayaking if you start dominating for
- 13:05 | kayaking you can also
- 13:07 | you know look at the related topics so
- 13:10 | what is related in Google’s eyes are
- 13:12 | generally when we think about topical
- 13:13 | Authority and SEO well with kayaking you
- 13:16 | can see that it’s related to like
- 13:18 | somewhat related to rock climbing boat
- 13:20 | tours kayak rentals jet skis skydiving
- 13:23 | like fun outdoor activities right so if
- 13:26 | you if you wrote like 100 articles on
- 13:28 | kayaking you’re ranking for like a 30
- 13:30 | transactional affiliate articles making
- 13:32 | let’s say you’re making ten thousand
- 13:33 | dollars a month you have another 70 uh
- 13:37 | informational articles you’re ranking
- 13:38 | you’re getting ad Revenue you’re making
- 13:39 | 15 20 grand a month from just kayaking
- 13:42 | you’re like okay let me try to expand my
- 13:43 | topical Authority I’m dominating and
- 13:45 | killing it and kayaking let me go to
- 13:47 | skydiving or let me try you know jet ski
- 13:50 | type content or boating something I
- 13:52 | would say boating is a little bit more
- 13:53 | related so this is a really good tool
- 13:55 | it’s pretty cool to use and you can
- 13:58 | really spot Trends this way it’s an
- 14:00 | add-on to Google Trends and it gives you
- 14:01 | a lot of really good information about
- 14:03 | topical Maps can you rank for it in new
- 14:05 | and emerging keywords so that’s all
- 14:06 | Outdoor Products what if we want to do
- 14:08 | software so we could say what are the
- 14:10 | best niches for affiliate whether the
- 14:12 | software niches for affiliate marketing
- 14:13 | they should have low competition and be
- 14:15 | new and easy to rank for on Google all
- 14:18 | right so now it gave us you know a bunch
- 14:19 | of different software ideas remote team
- 14:21 | onboarding virtual events AI content
- 14:23 | privacy mental health local SEO iot lots
- 14:27 | of different interesting ones you can
- 14:28 | keep just going down the list another
- 14:29 | thing you can do in ahrefs is just put
- 14:31 | in best software
- 14:33 | and use the matching terms too now
- 14:35 | you’re going to see this is really
- 14:36 | competitive right there’s like 70s 80s
- 14:38 | stuff’s really tough but again if you
- 14:40 | drop that difficulty down to 20 and you
- 14:42 | show the results there it’s going to
- 14:43 | show newer stuff less competitive stuff
- 14:45 | so like crms for hotels contractor
- 14:48 | management software lots of beat making
- 14:50 | and DJ software golf simulator software
- 14:53 | so a lot of interesting ones there if we
- 14:55 | saw like in these ones there’s something
- 14:58 | like e-learning course creation software
- 15:00 | so a couple years ago I found this and I
- 15:03 | now I’m ranking number like seven for
- 15:06 | best online course platforms and that
- 15:08 | one’s made me a lot of money over the
- 15:10 | last three four years where it’s
- 15:13 | probably making me over twenty thousand
- 15:14 | dollars a month just from that one
- 15:16 | article because it was ranking number
- 15:17 | one and two it’s down to seven now but
- 15:19 | we’ve been doing some updates and
- 15:21 | strategies and building some topical
- 15:22 | Authority around it so you can find
- 15:24 | software opportunities uh it’s a little
- 15:26 | bit more competitive
- 15:28 | um and you definitely want to kind of
- 15:29 | dominate one sub Niche within software
- 15:31 | and really find you know your specific
- 15:33 | uh smaller sub Niche when it comes to
- 15:35 | that another thing you can use at Chad
- 15:37 | GPT for is to find those articles uh to
- 15:40 | build topical Authority so let’s say
- 15:42 | that you wanted to rank for telescope
- 15:44 | stuff so we saw that as a potential
- 15:46 | outdoor option let’s say well I would
- 15:48 | put in I want to rank on Google for best
- 15:49 | telescopes for stargazing give me 10
- 15:51 | informational articles that I should
- 15:53 | write about this topic to increase my
- 15:55 | topical Authority in this area these
- 15:56 | articles should have good search volume
- 15:57 | and be easy to rank for so as we can see
- 16:00 | now there’s actually a lot of really
- 16:02 | good pieces of content you can write
- 16:03 | that beginner’s guide to stargazing how
- 16:05 | to choose the right telescope budget
- 16:07 | friendly astronomical astronomical
- 16:10 | events of the Year comparing different
- 16:12 | telescope types how to maintain and
- 16:13 | clean if you’re you know blogging about
- 16:16 | telescopes and you want to rank for a
- 16:18 | bunch of telescopes you would need these
- 16:19 | articles on your site to be seen as you
- 16:21 | know topical Authority and be an expert
- 16:23 | in that area let’s do another one just
- 16:25 | to show you an example of the best
- 16:26 | ultralight tents building 10 articles
- 16:28 | with topical Authority around that topic
- 16:31 | so again we see a lot of good
- 16:33 | informational content that we would
- 16:34 | write key features to consider comparing
- 16:36 | different types family tents setting
- 16:38 | them up how to maintain it ultralight
- 16:40 | tense for Outdoor Adventures budget
- 16:42 | friendly ones so you can come up with a
- 16:44 | lot of really good Niche ideas doing you
- 16:46 | know validating it with ahrefs or other
- 16:48 | SEO tools or meat Glimpse or looking for
- 16:50 | these keyword opportunities that are new
- 16:52 | and emerging with things that you can
- 16:53 | actually rank for and then the key again
- 16:56 | isn’t just to write a couple of
- 16:57 | affiliate articles and hope that you’re
- 16:58 | going to rank it’s to create a number of
- 17:01 | affiliate articles surrounded by a lot
- 17:03 | of informational content so that you are
- 17:05 | seeing as the biggest expert in your
- 17:07 | Niche alright so we’ve looked at a
- 17:08 | number of different niches with chat GPT
- 17:10 | and kind of validated the data to see if
- 17:12 | we can make money but we need to really
- 17:14 | understand affiliate marketing and the
- 17:16 | math and equations behind it because how
- 17:18 | do we know how much money we’re going to
- 17:19 | make well we can guess we’re not going
- 17:21 | to have the perfect you know number in
- 17:23 | mind but we can actually make a good
- 17:24 | educated guess based on the niche based
- 17:27 | on the price of the products the
- 17:28 | commission rates and all of that so
- 17:29 | let’s do a couple examples here so let’s
- 17:31 | say that you have a thousand visitors to
- 17:34 | your article so you’re ranking for an
- 17:36 | article you have a thousand visitors to
- 17:37 | that article well of those a thousand
- 17:39 | visitors about 300 will actually click
- 17:42 | on an affiliate link so 700 will
- 17:44 | probably just leave or read the stuff
- 17:46 | and leave right they might not click an
- 17:48 | affiliate link so that’s 300 affiliate
- 17:50 | link clicks now once they click that
- 17:53 | affiliate link and they go to the
- 17:54 | product page we can assume a two percent
- 17:56 | conversion rate to a sale so they click
- 17:59 | on like a kayaking affiliate link for a
- 18:01 | specific kayak they go to that page two
- 18:03 | percent of them we can assume will
- 18:05 | actually purchase that kayak so 300
- 18:08 | affiliate link clicks times a two
- 18:10 | percent conversion rate is six sales so
- 18:12 | from a thousand visitors you got six
- 18:14 | total sales now we have to multiply that
- 18:16 | by the product price and then our
- 18:18 | commission rate so let’s say the product
- 18:20 | is a hundred bucks right so that’s six
- 18:22 | times 100 that’s 600 in sales for the
- 18:25 | company you have a 10 commission rate so
- 18:27 | you come out with sixty dollars so all
- 18:30 | that work a thousand visitors to your
- 18:32 | site and you only made 60 bucks not that
- 18:35 | great you know it’s not horrible but
- 18:37 | it’s only like maybe three two to three
- 18:39 | times higher than some ad Revenue you
- 18:41 | could potentially make by just putting
- 18:42 | banner ads on the site if you’re in a
- 18:43 | really good ad Network and a good Niche
- 18:45 | so thousand visitors 60 bucks not the
- 18:48 | best but what if
- 18:49 | the product was a little bit more
- 18:51 | expensive let’s do the exact same
- 18:53 | example so now we have a thousand
- 18:54 | visitors to the site to that one article
- 18:56 | 300 affiliate link clicks two percent
- 18:59 | conversion rate equals six sales but now
- 19:01 | what if the product price is a thousand
- 19:03 | dollars so that’s now six thousand
- 19:05 | dollars to the company your ten percent
- 19:07 | commission would net you six hundred
- 19:09 | dollars so now we’re talking about a
- 19:12 | thousand visitors making you six hundred
- 19:14 | bucks just because you talked about a
- 19:15 | little bit more expensive products so
- 19:17 | that’s what you see a little bit more
- 19:18 | High ticket stuff is important now not
- 19:21 | every single expensive product is going
- 19:23 | to be high ticket and make you all that
- 19:24 | money but you think about it if we
- 19:26 | increase this number by 10 times and you
- 19:28 | got ten thousand visitors a month which
- 19:30 | is very realistic for affiliate articles
- 19:32 | you could be making six thousand dollars
- 19:34 | instead of six hundred dollars so this
- 19:36 | really just depends on your
- 19:37 | understanding of affiliate marketing and
- 19:39 | the niche that you choose quick side
- 19:40 | note like ad revenue is a lot simpler so
- 19:42 | it’s basically just how much traffic you
- 19:44 | got to your entire blog and the niche
- 19:46 | that you’re in that kind of dictates
- 19:48 | your RPM or Revenue per thousand
- 19:50 | visitors so you know if you’re writing
- 19:52 | about really broad stuff ideas party
- 19:55 | ideas things that are just generally
- 19:57 | broad your RPM might be like four
- 19:59 | dollars so you might make four dollars
- 20:01 | for those banner ads for every thousand
- 20:02 | visitors to your site whereas if you’re
- 20:04 | talking about something like Finance or
- 20:06 | crypto or business software or web
- 20:09 | hosting or things that are a little bit
- 20:10 | more business focused and expensive and
- 20:12 | lucrative your RPM could be up to like
- 20:15 | forty dollars on the really high end or
- 20:17 | like you know 25 I was seeing typically
- 20:19 | 20 to 25 RPMs for a thousand visitors
- 20:21 | but that’s just pretty simple like
- 20:23 | that’s just ad Revenue so if your RPM is
- 20:26 | like twenty dollars you know you’d need
- 20:28 | a hundred thousand visitors to your blog
- 20:30 | to make two thousand bucks so again ad
- 20:33 | revenue is kind of The Last Resort we
- 20:35 | want to make affiliate Revenue because
- 20:36 | it has a much higher Roi now but when we
- 20:38 | think about it there’s an important
- 20:39 | consideration here with chat GPT and
- 20:42 | choosing niches and affiliate marketing
- 20:43 | is that the best affiliate niches aren’t
- 20:45 | just high priced High ticket so
- 20:48 | conversion rate the actual conversion
- 20:50 | rate is out of your control a little bit
- 20:52 | you can control the amount of clicks
- 20:53 | that you get on your blog post the
- 20:55 | affiliate link clicks that you send out
- 20:56 | by optimizing you know adding buttons
- 20:58 | making sure that there’s call outs and
- 21:00 | blocks and easy things to click on
- 21:03 | but conversion rate is something you
- 21:05 | can’t control so typically what works
- 21:07 | the best for affiliate marketing is
- 21:09 | mid-priced popular products in that
- 21:11 | category so if I was talking about golf
- 21:13 | drivers I wouldn’t put some three
- 21:15 | thousand dollar crazy golf driver number
- 21:17 | in my number one spot that no one’s
- 21:19 | heard of yes you’d make more in the math
- 21:21 | equation but the conversion rate would
- 21:23 | be super low so people really like to
- 21:26 | buy things when you think about
- 21:27 | self-service checkout
- 21:29 | people have to click your affiliate link
- 21:31 | go to the website and then check out put
- 21:34 | things in their cart and leave right so
- 21:36 | the conversion rate is super important
- 21:38 | and that’s actually different for every
- 21:40 | single brand so Amazon’s easy because a
- 21:42 | lot of people already have an Amazon
- 21:43 | account they can do that the Amazon
- 21:44 | commission rates are really low so
- 21:46 | conversion rate’s the hidden Factor so
- 21:48 | you don’t just need some random High
- 21:50 | ticket one-off
- 21:51 | article that you want to rank for you
- 21:53 | need a niche where you can rank for
- 21:55 | dozens of Articles over time and there
- 21:57 | are a few High ticket opportunities that
- 21:59 | you can you know monetize then you want
- 22:02 | to look at like diversifying your
- 22:03 | revenue streams eventually too outside
- 22:05 | of just affiliate marketing so these are
- 22:06 | all things to consider when you’re
- 22:08 | choosing your Niche so for example if
- 22:10 | we’re in golf that could be a good Niche
- 22:12 | because there’s lots of products there’s
- 22:13 | drivers irons Putters bags range finders
- 22:16 | all kinds of stuff and there’s a few
- 22:18 | High ticket ones like golf simulators
- 22:20 | for example are 10 000 up to twenty
- 22:23 | twenty five thousand dollars each now
- 22:25 | the conversion rate on a golf simulator
- 22:27 | is going to be a lot lower than a putter
- 22:30 | for example maybe a 200 300 putter will
- 22:33 | convert a lot higher from an affiliate
- 22:35 | standpoint and get a lot more traffic
- 22:36 | potentially than a twenty thousand
- 22:38 | dollar golf simulator because most
- 22:40 | people searching for golf simulators are
- 22:42 | going to want to do a lot of research
- 22:43 | consideration look at blog posts YouTube
- 22:45 | videos and the conversion rate’s a lot
- 22:47 | lower on higher priced products have you
- 22:48 | ever bought a twenty thousand dollar
- 22:50 | thing online without talking to the
- 22:52 | sales person probably not I don’t think
- 22:53 | I have so another one that could be good
- 22:56 | is like telescopes like we talked about
- 22:58 | because there’s low ticket telescopes
- 23:00 | and higher price telescopes there’s a
- 23:02 | range of a hundred dollars for a simple
- 23:03 | beginner child friendly telescope on
- 23:06 | Amazon all the way up to five or even
- 23:08 | ten thousand dollars or more for really
- 23:10 | Advanced you know astronomer type
- 23:13 | telescopes that are really powerful so
- 23:15 | you want to look for in any Niche again
- 23:17 | we’re going back to when we’re choosing
- 23:19 | these and looking for opportunities we
- 23:20 | want keywords we can rank for we want
- 23:22 | lots of informational content that we
- 23:24 | can write and rank for and we want low
- 23:26 | ticket opportunities for popular
- 23:28 | products that are searched a lot maybe
- 23:30 | the search volume is over a couple
- 23:31 | thousand a month and then we also want
- 23:33 | some high ticket opportunities in that
- 23:35 | niche as well and when you’re seeing
- 23:37 | these different options so like best
- 23:39 | telescopes for example you can put low
- 23:41 | and high ticket options in your one
- 23:44 | article so that’s the question I get a
- 23:46 | lot is like do I create a different
- 23:48 | article for expensive telescopes versus
- 23:50 | low-end telescopes all you have to do is
- 23:52 | put a search term into Google and see if
- 23:54 | the articles are different so if you put
- 23:56 | in best telescopes you’ll see 10
- 23:58 | articles ranking in the top 10 spots if
- 24:00 | you put in best telescopes for beginners
- 24:02 | you might see
- 24:04 | completely different articles in the top
- 24:06 | 10 that’s only beginners or you may see
- 24:08 | some of the same ones that we’re ranking
- 24:10 | for best telescope are also just all
- 24:12 | ranking for that so that’s how you
- 24:13 | differentiate but what you can do in one
- 24:16 | article is you can have the low ticket
- 24:18 | offers and the high ticket offers in one
- 24:20 | article about telescopes so if you had
- 24:22 | the top 10 best telescopes number one
- 24:25 | would be the mid price point most
- 24:27 | popular everyone knows it product that
- 24:30 | most people buy has the best conversion
- 24:32 | rates then you can have more expensive
- 24:34 | ones down low the low ticket ones but
- 24:36 | that’s typically how it works I’ve dealt
- 24:38 | with this before too like I had an
- 24:39 | article on web hosting for example like
- 24:41 | the best web hosting and people talk
- 24:42 | about Bluehost you see every blogger is
- 24:44 | like oh use Bluehost even though they
- 24:45 | may or may not be the best one right but
- 24:47 | they have brand recognition and they
- 24:49 | convert really well so I I tried to put
- 24:51 | other ones in the top position and even
- 24:53 | though I was making like a commission
- 24:55 | rate for that one that was three times
- 24:57 | higher than what I would have made they
- 24:59 | didn’t convert at all so the conversion
- 25:01 | rates hidden Factor the thing that’s
- 25:02 | interesting is you can’t really know any
- 25:03 | of this stuff until you start ranking
- 25:05 | for it because you don’t know if that
- 25:06 | company is going to convert or not until
- 25:07 | you start getting clicks and getting
- 25:09 | data back so ultimately when you’re
- 25:11 | writing these transactional articles for
- 25:13 | affiliate Revenue the goal is to cover
- 25:15 | your bases so you wanna if you’re
- 25:17 | writing that article about telescopes
- 25:18 | you want it to seem like the best
- 25:20 | possible article so that somebody
- 25:22 | doesn’t click back and go to another one
- 25:24 | so that’s why what I mean by cover your
- 25:26 | bases you think of every possible reader
- 25:28 | that would read this article from
- 25:29 | beginner to Advanced expert and everyone
- 25:32 | in between so that you have those
- 25:33 | specific products that they want and
- 25:35 | you’re not missing anything because
- 25:36 | that’s what happens and then people will
- 25:38 | go back they’ll click another article
- 25:40 | they’ll end the search Journey there and
- 25:42 | then they’ll eventually outrank you if
- 25:44 | that happens long enough so let’s talk
- 25:46 | about some goals here so again we want
- 25:48 | to use something like chat GPT which I
- 25:50 | don’t recommend for writing blog posts
- 25:52 | right I have videos on that why that
- 25:53 | doesn’t work but it could give you some
- 25:54 | good ideas as a starting point right and
- 25:57 | then we want to validate those with SEO
- 25:58 | tools you know meet Glimpse Google
- 26:00 | Trends things like that your goal should
- 26:02 | be having a hundred articles in the next
- 26:04 | two years years which is totally
- 26:05 | feasible and reasonable that’s like one
- 26:07 | article a week I actually recommend you
- 26:09 | do more than that now we’re in this
- 26:10 | world of AI people are speeding up and
- 26:12 | writing things faster so I would even
- 26:13 | say try to get 100 articles in one year
- 26:15 | if you can
- 26:16 | and that should be like 80 informational
- 26:18 | articles with 20 transactionals so you
- 26:20 | want to have a lot of informational
- 26:21 | content in your Niche and then you can
- 26:23 | start broad with one Niche and then
- 26:26 | Niche down over time so again if we’re
- 26:28 | talking about Kayaking we can start with
- 26:31 | kayaking we can try a couple articles on
- 26:33 | jet skis and things like that until we
- 26:34 | find what works because that’s the key
- 26:36 | the ability to Pivot and adapt and
- 26:38 | change the niche a little bit when we
- 26:40 | need to we don’t want to write a hundred
- 26:42 | kayaking articles and none of them
- 26:43 | really work and we find out it didn’t
- 26:45 | work for some reason and we can’t pivot
- 26:46 | so we start with a somewhat broader
- 26:49 | domain name which is why I recommend a
- 26:50 | personal brand and move from there
- 26:52 | honing in on your Niche over time
- 26:54 | because it can be very difficult to
- 26:55 | choose the perfect Niche at the
- 26:57 | beginning you know I get that question
- 26:58 | all the time what’s the most lucrative
- 26:59 | one what’s the most profitable one that
- 27:01 | I should choose well it’s based on
- 27:02 | individuals that’s why we teach coaching
- 27:05 | in blog growth engine not just a course
- 27:07 | right you need to know based on your own
- 27:10 | unique life experience who you are your
- 27:12 | identity what you want to talk about you
- 27:14 | don’t have to be passionate about the
- 27:15 | thing or an expert in a field by any
- 27:17 | means but you have to have the momentum
- 27:19 | and consistency to build this content
