The truth is its hard generating traffic on your own and if you want massive amounts of traffic this is best way I know of. The great thing about creating your own affiliate program is you don’t have to pay a cent until one of your affiliates makes a sale.

However in order to get affiliates to want to promote your product, you do need to make it enticing for them. If you’re selling a digital product where you make basically 100% of profits then your affiliates will be expecting a decent cut of profits. After all, advertising can be quite expensive. It needs to be worth “their” while.

So what’s a safe way of choosing a niche market to promote?

The first place I would be looking is to see “how many people are actually searching those types of keywords”. If it’s getting searched a lot then you can expect to generally do very well promoting a product in that industry.
