One fatal mistake that these affiliate marketers make is plunging right into it via the latest and greatest products released expecting to strike gold and earn thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, they end up throwing in the towel way to early without even trying to succeed.

The very first thing you must do is find your niche and one that is in very high demand without too many people promoting it already. To do this requires research using keywords. You will need a tool like Google adwords keyword tools which can help you in finding what keyword is best for the niche you are deciding on. Utilizing this tool will enable you too get your website listed high within search engines which in turn, will greatly increase your potential for earning an income online quicker.

Consider the exploding field of heath and fitness in which there are many sub niches to explore. Now its up to you to do the research and find that sub niche that will be profitable to you.

If a potential customer is looking for vitamins for maintaining a healthier lifestyle the chances are they will not visit a website that strictly focuses on the broader aspects of health and fitness but one that strictly caters to vitamins with available information presented to help them make and informed decision. Therefore, you can narrow the field even more by focusing on specific brands of vitamins like puritans pride, nature made, or even vita cost which is way more specific and targeted.

Now it's time to use the google adwords keyword tool I mentioned earlier. Input puritans pride in the search box and see what results you get back. These results will be a big asset to you as it is going to relay how much competition is out there for that particular keyword(s). Furthermore; it's going to show how many searches per month. The results you are looking for are searches over 50 with competition less than 300.
