A niche affiliate product means; product based on your blog topics and your blog readers. Suppose you write a blog on health niche, you will be promoting a product related to the niche of your blog. My advice for you is to select the hot-selling product in your niche and start writing about it. It will help you to boost your conversion rate. The difference between successful and failed affiliate campaign is determined by its conversion rate. If you are getting 100 odd clicks on your affiliate campaign but 0 or 1 conversion rate, you need to start over with your strategy.
Now something important about selecting an affiliate product is, try before your refer. It is the most common mistake done by any blogger. I have seen blogger referring high-end products without even using it. Personally, I recommend you to not do that. Will you ever believe in any such review? At least I will not. Giving an honest review will increase your credibility and reliability. Now getting to the point. Now suppose you have selected a product, make sure you read its TOS.
I suggest you to either signup for a free-trial if it's available, or ask the product owner to give you a review piece. In worse case scenario, you can buy and use the product to come up with an excellent review.
Note: 60% of my affiliate sale comes from review & tutorial related to product. When you signing up for any affiliate program, here are factors that you should look at:
◉ Available Banners
◉ Promotional matters
◉ Affiliate control panel
◉ Minimum Payout
◉ Payment method
◉ Tax form required or not
Such things will help you to decide if you are ready to promote this stuff or now. Suppose you select a seasonal product, and its minimum payout is 1000$. Are you sure, you are going to get that much conversion in that particular season?
Bonus tip: Associating with famous brand will be added advantage to your affiliate marketing campaign.
