Finding ClickBank Niches

One section that you use to find new products is the ClickBank niches section. Now the niches section is basically a list of all the ClickBank niches, all the different subjects or topics on ClickBank as arranged by us.

Problem with ClickBank Marketplace

The reason we did this is because we found that as great as ClickBank was, it wasn’t superb in terms of the way they structured the different niches. We did that ourselves, we re-categorized, as you can see, hundreds and hundreds of ClickBank products into these easy to follow keywords; you have Make Money, Affiliate Marketing, Traffic, Lose fat, Detective, etc. And there are over 40 categories, and we’re constantly re-categorizing and adding new products all the time.

And you can see the number of affiliate programs in a given category also . We’ve got the three different ratings. We have the total gravity of all affiliate programs in that given niche; we have related niches, so for example Make Money is related to Affiliate and Traffic, Lose fat is related to Build Muscle. And we also have a little growth icon, which shows whether the niche is going up or coming down.

So let’s click on that Lose Fat Niche and you’ll see that the gravity has gone up and now it’s coming down and now it’s about to start rising again. You’ll see we have related tags, we have the total gravity of all affiliate programs in the niche, the average commission percentage of all affiliate programs in the niche and the average dollar per sale of all affiliate programs in that particular niche. We also have an SEO rating, a pay per click rating and a JV rating as well.

Affiliate niches: In depth analysis

If you scroll down, you’ll see that we’ve actually provided an in-depth description of the niche in question. So we explain exactly what the customer’s like, we explain how the market works, how the niche works, what are the popular methods for generating traffic in the niche, and so on and so forth. Again, there’s a list of all the affiliate programs, there’s gravity and dollar per sales in that niche, a list of potentially profitable keywords that you can focus on. So in a nutshell, everything that you need to make money with this given niche is presented to you in an easy to follow list.

Once again, the way to decide what niche you want to focus on is by looking at the ratings. And if you want to use the SEO method, then maybe you’ll focus on Lose Fat, if you want to use the PPC method, then maybe you’ll focus on Build Muscle and so on and so forth.

I’ve just discussed the graphs and I’ve talked about the importance of graphs in whether a niche is rising or falling. Another interesting thing you can pick up from looking at these graphs, by the way, is whether it’s a “product launch niche”. Now launches tend to be very up and down, so the gravity will go all the way down and then will shoot up, then will come back down, and then shoot up. And it will kind of repeat itself, so you’ll have these massive spikes where the gravity shoots up and then it shoots down, and then it shoots back up again.

The Forex niche on ClickBank is another one where there are a lot of launches; you see this very up and down graph numbers, so they’ll be up and then come down, and then up and then down.

So if you want to look at a niche where there are lots of new products being launched, then watch for those up and down graphs, because they suggest that there are lots of launches going on in that particular niche.

Now, two final points before I finish up. Firstly, regarding the niche pages, you’ll see that we have our own Affiliate X Twitter page . Now I’m not a huge Twitter fan, but we do have our own Twitter profile and the reason we have it is because it allows us to quickly keep you updated with any new changes on our Hot 100 and niche pages, along with any new products that are coming out. So if you want to quickly stay in touch and find out what the new products are, then please click here, and then the Follow Me icon and follow us on Twitter.

Secondly, bear in mind that the ClickBank 100 and niche pages are updated every 24 hours, so do check back and do keep your eyes open, because there are always new products coming in, there are always new products shooting up and down the marketplace and it’s just very, very useful to keep your eye on the Hot 100.

So hopefully this video has explained to you exactly how to choose affiliate programs and niches using the Affiliate X website. Remember to check out the ClickBank niches page.
