What should I sell? How can I find a niche?

People always ask what should they sell as an affiliate? How to I get traffic? Which niches will I be successful at?   Here is an excerpt from the GooBert report from Michael Campbell that answers those questions and more.

 

“FINDING YOUR NICHE

 

Ideally, it should something you know a lot about. Something that comes easily to you. Something you’re

familiar with. Something you do or use every day. It could be your cell phone, your car, your hobby or something work related. It could be your area of expertise, degree or study.

If you already know what you want sell, go ahead and jump to the next chapter. But if you’re stuck,

and don’t know what to sell, we’ll do a little discovery process to tap your inner desires and passion.

Let me ask you a question.

What do you love to do?

That is the secret question where opportunities lay. It’s so simple that its constantly overlooked. But

seriously, what do you spend your time doing?

Some people love their work. For them, its easy to write about their experiences, training and

expertise. For others work is just a job. If you’re in that category, look to your hobbies, or things

that you enjoy doing.

I’ve done this discovery process with hundreds of people. Even those who claim they’re dumb as a

stump and don’t know anything.  Everyone has something that they get comments on.

People notice you and tell you that you’re good at it, or know a lot about it, whatever that “IT” is

for you.”

GooBert is the fastest way to get traffic and start generating revenue from affiliate programs.

There’s nothing risky about it. It’s easy to do and it doesn’t involve PPC (pay per click) advertising

or any additional expenses.

All you need is access to the internet, a domain name, basic hosting and a WordPress blog. That’s

all you need and it works like magic.

It takes about 30 minutes a day, but you can spend more time on it if you like. It’s up to you. Remember,

the harder you work, the luckier you’ll get.  So why not turn on the TV a half hour later?

Wouldn’t you rather be building your future instead?

Ping Plug in

How often is your WordPress blog pinging the services? Could you be guilty of Ping Spamming and not even know it?? You betcha.

 If you are using WordPress as the core part of your affiliate marketing site you need to know that WordPress by default not only pings when you post a new item but it also pings when you update or edit a post. So if you proofread your posts and find errors or have to change out links etc WordPress pings every time you save the post. This has still not been fixed as of WordPress 2.3

To help fix this several plug-ins were created but like many open source projects people get busy and the plug-in I was using Smart Update Pinger is not working as of WordPress 2.1 or higher. I have found one that is working and is free. Ping Optimizer 

Ping Optimizer will only ping when you post a new item. No more unnecessary and unwanted pings when you edit your posts.
