What Are The Best Affiliate Programs For Beginners?
A common question I get is ‘what are the best affiliate programs for beginners?’
Another one is ‘which niche should I choose first?’
I believe the second question is the one that needs an answered first.
Choosing the right niche is far more important than selecting the right affiliate marketing programs that fit into that niche.
If you choose the wrong niche it likely won’t matter which affiliate programs you choose because you’ll probably fail.
I know that is blunt, but it’s the cold hard truth about affiliate marketing.
Choosing your niche is that important.
The good news is that if you do choose the wrong niche right out of the gate, its not the end of the world. You’ll just need to fail fast and move on to another market niche.
For beginners, I believe its best to start by choosing a good affiliate network to promote.
Affiliate networks are great for beginners, since they list a ton of niches and verticals all in one place.
This makes it easy to determine the right niche to promote and the best affiliate programs in that niche market.
