Now what is a Niche Affiliate Marketing Program for MLM?

We’ve spoken about niches, we’ve spoken about affiliate marketing programs and we’ve spoken about MLM.

The way I understand it is it’s an affiliate program that you join, in order to sell/promote a product that compliments your niche MLM marketing (the niche you’ve chosen to go with to target a specific market that would find your MLM products/company/marketing plan  a good solution for their needs)

Let’s take two examples here:

Niche Affiliate Marketing Program for MLM Customers

Say you’re in an MLM that has skin care products as its main product range.

Now you’ve had wonderful results with the product- your stretchmarks have almost

completely gone as a result of you using the stretchmark cream.

You decide to focus on attracting product customers that would like to remove stretchmarks.

You build your sales funnel complete with lead capture page, thank you page, theme based blog about stretchmarks.

You start driving traffic using social media marketing and syndicating your content across the internet.

Now you decide you’d like to monetize on all these leads you’re getting, so on the thank you page you invite your leads to take a look at a niche affiliate marketing program to include in your sales funnel.

You do a bit of research and find something you believe your niche traget market would like.

The product is an E-book called ‘How to Permanently Remove Stretchmarks”.

It costs $29.95 and, as an affiliate, you get $14.95 per referred sale.

Congrats! You have just become part of this niche affiliate marketing program.

Niche Affiliate Marketing Program for MLM Distributors

Here’s an example if you’re attracting MLM distributors:

Your capture page and blog is all about how you teach prospective MLMers your special marketing system that helps them generate leads online.

Your niche is social media marketing, specifically how to use Facebook to attract leads.

Your  theme based blog is all about tips and techniques for using Facebook for Business and you have also taken a course with Mari Smith- the Facebook Guru.

Now, Mari has an affiliate program attached to her course. You sign up as an affiliate and decide to promote the course on your blog and thank you page.

You’ll  put the Mari Smith Facebook banner on your blog and thank you page (embedded with  your affiliate code of course) and every time a lead buys Mari’s course, you get a percentage of the sale (commission).

The great benefit of this is that you are making money through your affiliate marketing program, as you provide solutions for your niche market.

It’s also known as a funded proposal. (You are being funded to propose more offers- namely your MLM- to this prospect.)

There’s another way you could think of a Niche Marketing Affiliate Program:

If you have used and loved a product that helped you find your niche or do the keyword research on your niche, (e.g Nicheology or NicheFinder) you could become an affiliate of that product and join the Niche Marketing Affiliate program.

Niche Affiliate Marketing Program- where to find one:
This is easy.

You just go to clickbank.com or paydotcom.com, enter in the keyword phrase (in the search box) and scour the marketplace to see which products would suit your niche market.

Join up as an affiliate, grab your unique affiliate link and start promoting the banners, links and videos on your website, in your emails or on your thank you page!

Why do you need a niche affiliate network marketing program?

Quite simply because you need to make money upfront on all the leads you generate!

Remember, 90% of them will not join your MLM Business Opportunity!

Why not offer them something else they will need- something that’ll take them one step closer to finding their solution.

The cash flow of your business will IMPROVE and you’ll have more money to reinvest into your marketing and business development!

If you become a power affiliate, your profits can be substantial and you can take your business (and life) to the next level!

So now after a few hours research you’ve:

1. Brainstormed 10 possible niches (Find a Profitable Niche: Part 1). If you’re still struggling here, read my article on Niche Business Ideas!

2. Isolated your best overall niche (using overall demand and supply figures- and your intuition!) (Find a Profitable Niche: Part2)

3. Looked at the chosen niche keywords- assessing how many popular keywords there are and their demand…. (Find a Profitable Niche: Part3)

4. Looked at their supply (competition) and decided which ones give you the best possibilities (based on KOI and KPI calculations)……

and Dug down deep to see if there’s a sub niche located within your broader niche topic, that fulfills the criteria for enough search volume – yet not too much competition.

Find a Profitable Niche: Part4

Refer the the above posts if you haven’t been following along.

Now we’re going to Expand our Keywords

You’ve found that  “chronic constipation” will be your niche theme having search demand over 20 000, with supply search volumes at 293 000 and a KPI index of 6.7.

You’re have alot of information on this topic and decided to set up a chronic constipation website.

You’re going to also have information on  severe constipation (perhaps you have an E book about the topic you’d like to give away or sell) and you are going to have a few pages dedicated to constipation remedies.

However, you will need some page specific keywords, for every page of your website.

This is where you go through the process of keyword expansion.

The focus is now on building a list of keywords that visitors use to search Chronic constipation related material on the web.

Once again you can use the Google Adwords tool or SBI’s Brainstorm It tool, to generate both a vertical brainstormed set of  keywords (words containing the seed word in it) and a lateral set of brainstormed keywords (words not necessarily containing the seed word in them- i.e. synonyms).

A list of related searched terms are then listed which you can use to build the backbone of your site.

Focus on long-tail keyphrases

For page specific keywords it is often best to focus on long tail keyphrases (a combination of keywords that is three or more words long).

There is often less competition for these keyword combinations, which are used regularly for specific searches.

Using different combinations of these words on your website can do wonders for its traffic, enabling it to come up repeatedly for multitudes of  precise searches done on search engines.

More Keyword Ideas

For more ideas on keywords you can go to your competitor’s sites. You can search for them using the terms
you are investigating (by keying in ‘chronic constipation’ for instance into Google and when on your competitions
websites selecting ‘view source’ from the right click options menu).

You can then make a note of the terms they use in their meta description and meta keywords tags.

Here’s the easy option…

Or once again, you can use the Brainstorm It! Tool of SBI- to immediately get the Value Demand, REAL supply and profitability of vertically and laterally researched keywords.

It also automatically visits the top competitors sites on the topic and extracts the keywords immediately, giving you an up to date, relevant set of laterally brainstormed keywords with the right demand and supply required to win immediately- including the long tailed keywords being searched.

Week 1 focuses on Choosing Your Perfect Niche.

Here’s that link again: www.PutYourmLMBizOnline.com

Brainstorm!

Write down good ideas for niches as they hit you. Your passion and knowledge should lead you towards your niche. Choose your top three- they could be completely unrelated or sub niches within a similar topic.

Remember- try to pick something that you love the most AND that you think would appeal to others. (After all, if no one is interested in your niche, you wont get much traffic!)

If you already have a business (like a Network Marketing MLM business), you’ll probably already know the general theme/concept of your niche.

Now you need to decide which is the best way to approach your niche- what’s your spin, your angle.

You could look at different solutions your business provides, target a particular segment of your market, look at a specific angle.

Here are some questions to ask yourself (to get the creative juices flowing):

1.    What is your background, married, siblings, where did you grow up, how were you raised?
2. What sports or activities did you do as a child?

3. What is your professional education. What have you learned? Are you still doing it? Why/why not? (through necessity or choice?)
4.    Imagine you’re in a group and you don’t know anyone- you need to choose one person…who is that person?
(How do they talk, what do they look like- why did you choose them? )
5.    Surf on internet: Which groups and blogs do you like? What do you like to read?
6.    imagine its your last day on earth: You are gathered with loved ones- which is the most important message you want to leave with them?
7.    If you were to write a book yourself- what would you write on?
8.    If you wanted to teach your children while you were alive, what’s the most important  thing you want to teach them in life?

Once you’ve written down some topics you’re passionate about, its time to do some keyword research, to assess overall demand and supply.

Go here to 5 Steps to Find a Profiitable Niche: Part2: Assessing Overall Demand and Supply of Niche keywords.

Part 2 of 5 Steps to Find a Profitable Niche: Compare overall Demand and Supply

Our objective is to choose a theme that is meaningful to you, has good demand (over 20 000 searches) and where the competition is not too great (high supply).

If you haven’t completed step 1 where we found ways to brainstorm for niche topics, refer to 5 Steps To Find a Profitable Niche:Part 1 Brainstorm Possible Niches

Once you’ve come up with about 10 possible niches or themes, here’s what you do:

Do Keyword Research and Assess the different Niche Topics  Overall Demand and Supply

Demand

We will first find the keywords that people use to search for these niches.

Go to Google Adwords Free Keyword Tool and choose the descriptive keywords option. Type in your niche’s main keyword.

Now you’ll get a list of related keywords- keywords people are typing in to find out about subjects related to your niche.

Do this for each niche and compare the 3 top  sites/niches keywords data.

Notice the actual search volumes for the main keyword, as well as the number of keywords that the tool returns, for each niche topic.

You want to make sure your niche main keyword has over 20 000 searches. If it doesn’t, disqualify it as a niche topic- it won’t generate enough traffic.

Also make sure your main word generates a lot of related keywords (over 15-20) and that there are a lot of searches being done on a lot of these keywords!

Once again, compare your three niche keywords/themes.

The Google Adwords Free Keyword Tool is great for assessing preliminary search volume (demand)- but SBI’s Brainstorm It! Tool gives Value Demand with the click of a button- i.e. it returns only words that have high value (monetary value) and high search volume associated with them!

Supply

Now you need to check that there’s not too much competition in the niche. If there are too many good websites on this topic, you are too late- the competition got there first!

This can be done by going to Google and doing a search to see how many returns you get.

Check that there are not too many Adwords campaigns running on the same phrases related to the topic.

At the end of this process, you’ll have a table that looks like this:

Initial Niche Comparison

Once again, SBI’s Brainstorm It! Tool will give you the REAL Supply for each keyword. It also gives the PROFITABILITY of the words.

Its really easy to use this option because you can compare demand, supply and profitability across all three related themes/niche topics at once.

This way you make a scientific decision about which topic is the best one to choose (no guessing).

Anyway, back to choosing our top niche:

Here, I will make more of an intuitive decision to make my choice. I will choose constipation as my overall (broad) niche theme.

I am not really sure what the supply numbers mean at this point, but I do know that “constipation” has enough demand to warrant further investigation.

There might be other reasons for choosing constipation. Perhaps your  MLM is a nutritional Products company and you  have products that can be useful for constipation sufferers- that you can sell!)

Constipation  looks like it has good demand (way over 20 000),  but it also seems to have very high supply- i.e. number of competing websites. (10 300 000). Although this supply seems alot, its not nearly as much as say anti aging, for example, which comes in at 20 800 000!

(This is where the SBI tool comes in so handy: It’ll immediately tell you whether the niche topic is  over supplied or not.)

I am realising that I’ll probably need to “dig down” deeper to find a related “constipation” keyword that could be a sub niche- it’ll need to have good demand, but must not have such high supply.

Constipation also does have very high advertiser competition, but there’s no need to worry about that right now. (We intend having a site that beats them through excellent content- not through paying money for ads).

If we drill down deep enough into the niche, to find a sub niche (which looks possible because there are 150 related  match keywords), I am sure we’ll find some easily winnable profitable keywords.

Dig Deep

Now we dig down deeper- compiling a list of the top 10-15 keywords (with the highest search volume) based on “constipation”.

We’ll look at these more specific niche related words to assess their search volume, their competition and their real supply.
