Ever heard the term ‘niche marketing’?
Sure you have, it’s been around a long time. Niche Marketing focuses on serving a small targeted section of a much larger market. Left handed golf clubs for women anybody?
The internet has opened up niche marketing techniques to anybody and everybody, with a blog or website being the only real pre-requisite.
Lets take that blog that you pour your heart into each and every day, the one you started even though you thought nobody had an interest in it, because your chosen topic was a bit off the beaten track. Did you realise that you can profit from that unique (niche) blog, without having to spend a single penny?
The thing is, on the internet, you will always reach people that share your interest, no matter how niche or unique it is. In fact, the more niche the better!
What you should seek is an affiliate aggregator, a company who specialises in managing companies affiliate programs.
What is an affiliate program?
Simple, it’s a financial reward based advertising program. You advertise a company and it’s product or services by hosting free banners or text advertisements on your website or blog.
if your visitor clicks on an ad and subsequently buys something from the advertiser, you get a commission! Kerching!
What have you had to do for that commission? Nothing. you just post up the ad and let your visitors turn into money.
So why isn’t everybody doing it?
The answer is because although on the face of it, it’s an easy thing to accomplish, it’s actually difficult to make a full time living from it – that is unless you get educated.
There are corners of the internet that specialise on helping people become full time affiliate niche marketers.
See, affiliating is the easy bit, finding your own profitable niche is more difficult. Luckily, there are expert niche marketers out there who blog on the subject, you can go and get yourself educated on how to make a full time living from the internet, WITHOUT ANY START UP CAPITAL.
I have one such blog, or you can always search the term ‘Niche Marketing’.
Come on board, it’s an exciting and financially rewarding job, one i happily do full time, sat at home whilst enjoying a nice cup of tea :)

Originally from Wisconsin, I moved out to Salt Lake City over ten years ago on a six month software development contract. I now have over 15 years in software development, and was introduced to internet marketing back in 2003. During the wild west days, our business focused on content sites for Adsense revenue. As it became harder and harder to keep up with the search engines, our business has evolved, and forced us to focus on building lists and creating products. We now have a list of about 5000 interested in goal setting, and a small internet marketing list of about 500.
