You need people to come to your site, consume your content then click through and buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Define Your Target Audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This first step seems like a no-brainer but I see so many people get this wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A common newbie mistake<\/a> is to pick a niche that’s too broad or too narrow and with both extremes you’re going to struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing beginners do is try and mash different niches together. You’ll see them promoting random, unrelated stuff like golf products on a cooking site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to be hard to build a targeted audience that way. Remember, when we talk about getting an audience for affiliate marketing we’re talking about drawing a target group of people who have similar interests and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So take your time to figure this out. It’s important and foundational to your affiliate marketing success<\/a> going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because then you’ll know exactly what they want, what their questions are and what products or services they want to buy. You’re going to be able to get higher click-throughs and make more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So get to the point where if someone asks you who your target audience is<\/a>, you can just come right out and say it. It’s clear in your mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
