Best Affiliate Marketing Roadmap

Choose Your Niche

The first step to being able to be successful as an affiliate is to choose the niche that fits you. We recommend to choose an affiliate niche or type of affiliate marketing – based on 2 important factors…

1. Is the niche highly profitable?
2. Do you have a passion for the niche?

If you answer, “Yes!” for both of those questions, then you’ve found the best niche for you.

The SaaS, investment, and health niches are some common and good choices for a niche to be an affiliate in. However, feel free to choose the niche that you resonate most with.

Join A Relevant High Paying Affiliate Marketing Program

Within each nice, there are hundreds of affiliate marketing programs that you can promote. Some affiliate offers are high ticket, low ticket, and have a variety of other factors that define them.

You’ll want to only promote the highest quality affiliate programs possible. This ensures that you will get a low rate of refunds and chargebacks. Additionally, quality affiliate programs with good support often retain their customers for longer – which means more affiliate commissions for you.

Also be on the lookout for affiliate programs that pay higher commission rates then others. This increases your ability to generate commissions from the start, and is important for your long term affiliate marketing roadmap. Consider contacting the affiliate marketing manager of an affiliate marketing program in order to get an even better commission rate.
