Market Research for Affiliate Product
Make sure before you go with a product you do some good market research and that includes keyword analysis. What you need to do is make a list of the keywords that fit the niche you are going to promote. One of the biggest mistakes marketers make is to use too general of a word that doesn’t really focus on your specific targeted market. Usually one word will be too general and it is best to have two or more words in a phrase to start your search.
If you are going to promote cat beds, then you don’t want to just use the word cats. It’s too general and you won’t get your specific hungry market. Look for phrases related to cat beds and then you need to do your keyword research to find the demand for the keyword phrases.
There are several free keywords research tools you can use as well as popular pay ones such as Wordtracker and Nichebot. You can google the phrase free keyword research tools to find the free ones and also checkout the Wordtracker and Nichebot websites. I have used the free ones and also the pay ones. It all depends on your budget but you have to do the research before you promote.
When you are looking at the results of your keyword phrases, if the daily count is less than 50 people searching for that phrase, then you should look for other phrases. You should come up with as many phrases as possible for your niche and with each phrase having over 50 people a day searching, the total number of people searching in your niche should add up quickly.
Another important point when doing keyword research is to check out the competition. The good keyword research tools will show you how much competition each phrase has and if it is worth pursuing that specific phrase. You can look at competing websites and see how they compare to what you might have on your site.
I can’t stress enough the importance of putting in the time to do your market research including keyword research. If you don’t get this step right, you won’t be making the money you want.
