How to Increase Your Affiliate Revenues

The easiest and most proven way to increase your affiliate revenues is through niche marketing. If you are not aware of what niche marketing is then it can be defined as a sub category of a general market. As an example a market could be sports and a sub category of the sports market could be golf. Niche markets are an internet marketers dream as once you find a hot niche market you have found a market where you can generate a steady stream of solid affiliate revenues. To be a niche market it needs to be a very specific market. A broad market could be Golf, a niche within the golf market may be golf drivers. If you get a visitor to your site then you have a very targeted visitor who is most likely ready to buy from you. Anybody who visits your site is looking for a golf driver and is most likely looking to buy a driver from you. The trick is to find a niche market, promote your product and generate solid incomes.

There are many ways to find niche markets where there may be an eager list of buyers. Marketers use many different techniques including reviewing newspapers and magazines to see what the headlines are and to see if there are any niche market opportunities within the headlines. There is another and some would say an easier way to carry out this research and that way is by making use of eBay. eBay is a good resource for the affiliate marketer. You can gather a lot of information via eBay on what markets are hot and if they are hot on eBay then they are hot for affiliate marketers. If you visit the home page of eBay you can quickly identify what the most visited categories are. These most visited categories are the areas of most interest to eBay clients. Once you have identified these big search areas then check the sub categories, you are now drilling down into the available niche markets.

You now need to check the volumes of sales in your niche category and look for the niche that will be profitable to you. How do you do this? Firstly check for a niche which has a high level of bidders. This shows that you have found an active niche. You then need to take a view on the number of items for sale. If the number of items on sale is below 500 then you have discovered a niche with many buyers but not that many products for sale. This is a niche you should promote your product in and hopefully will be a niche that generates a steady income for you.
