I’m going to show you a step-by-step guide on how to create an affiliate marketing blog with AI and how to make passive income and what are the strategies that I have been using to get millions and millions of visitors to my websites in the past couple of years, but ..
First we’re going to find and validate a niche or a topic for your blog then I’m going to walk you through step by step how to create a website from complete scratch without any coding requirement or website creation experience.
AI help to figure out popular & profitable niche in 2024.
Before you start your own website, we need to choose a niche for your site. For example, 10 website software, review website a crypto trading website and whatever you can imagine. This is something we need to be careful with here because in some niches there is easy ways to stand out and to get traffic and to start making money but in some other niches where there’s a lot of competition it is very hard to stand out as a solo blogger even if you’re using AI.
In order for you to find the best niche as possible, you need to strike a balance between passion profitability and competition so there needs to be at least some desire for you to write about this topic because you’re going to work with this topic for a really long time, so you can’t afford to choose a niche that you don’t care about because you will just burn out in the process.
You need to make sure that there is profitability, there are options for you to make make money in that niche and then you also need to make sure that there is not that much competition so there must be a way for you to stand out.
Next, I’m going to show you exactly how to find and validate niche based on passion profitability and competition and I think the best way to do this is by starting with your passions and expertise and don’t worry if you don’t have those or if you don’t feel like that you want to share information related to your hobbies or passions or etc., it is completely fine.
We’re going to add a lot of content into this list later in this section but for now it’s good to start from your passions now after you have listed things that you are good at, then think about niches that you have heard of or some niches that you might find interesting so for example if there’s a sport that you’re interested in starting or if there’s an education field that you’re interested in or whatever it is, list those out into your list also use ChatGPT to ask for 50 to 100 niches where there is profitability but that is not too competitive.
After this step, you should have this super long and detailed list of all these potential niches and topics that you might want to cover with your website and then it’s time to start filtering that list so we’re going to make sure that every single niche makes sense and that there is passion and there is money to be made and that there is not much competition.
I’m going to show you exactly how to do that so as the first step go through the entire list and do this kind of a passion check so just make sure that you include only those niches where you know that you want to write about those and you have at least some desire or passion towards those because you’re going to work a lot on this website so you don’t want to choose a niche that you don’t care about.
As the next step, you want to do a ym y check so that YMYL stands for Your Money Your Life so you need to make sure that you’re not targeting a niche that can directly impact on somebody’s wealth or health, so you don’t want to target something like investing or crypto trading or health or anything where you would actually need to be a qualified expert because that kind of content can be very risky for people and also Google is very careful with these kinds of niches, so it can be impossible for you to stand out if you don’t have the proper education or experience to talk about that topic.
So make sure to filter out all of those niches from the list. Then as the next step when it comes to filtering the list of potential niches is profitability, so you want to make sure that there is money to be made in every niche and now let’s not get paralyzed by analysis here.
So basically in every single niche there is at least some money to be made, so if you get like 1 million visitors to your website and show advertisements it doesn’t really matter what the topic is, you will still earn a decent income so you shouldn’t overthink this phase, but one thing you want to make sure is that there are affiliate programs in your niche.
For instance, let’s say that you’re starting a website about tennis and you’re not sure whether you want to choose that niche or not so what you want to do is go out there open up Google and search for tennis affiliate programs and there you will find affiliate programs for rackets, for shoes, for bags, and all these kinds of other tennis apparel, so this is a good sign because this makes or this tells you that this niche has money to be made because if there are affiliate programs in your niche that also means that there are people that are searching for information related to your niche and that they are reading blog posts which they might make purchases.
It’s just enough to know that there needs to be affiliate programs in your niche because this is a great blog monetization strategy that you’re going to learn later in this guide.
If there are no affiliate programs in your niche then you’re not going to be able to earn through that strategy and for most websites that is one of the main strategies to make money, so you want to make sure that there are those affiliate programs.
