Niche Marketing – On Crack – Revisited!

A year back before I start selling my own products, and having my own offline consultancy business, I was quite into affiliate marketing.

That’s right – selling other people’s product.

Now, while I don’t really recommend selling other people’s product as your sore revenue channel, it great for beginners starting out, when they have don’t have their own products yet.

And for me – one of the best ways – not to mention, cheapest and effective way of doing affiliate marketing is implementing the "niche marketing on crack" strategy.

Andrew Hansen was the creator of this strategy. The whole premise of this is to target niche markets and long tail keywords to promote your selected product.

The key was to build a website with a domain name that includes your product keywords.

So for example, you want to promote "Apple Ipod", you can register a domain name "AppleIpodReview.com".

This is to ensure, when people end up on your site, they are really targeted and qualified. Meaning they are much more likely to buy.

The Power of Referral Marketing

Today I’m gonna touch on something I do a lot. And very much believe in.

I know of a lot of people who insist on doing the sales and marketing themselves.

You know what’s the reason?

Because they  say they get less profits.

You know what I say to that? Absolute hogwash!

Sure..you keep 100% of the profits, But is it scalable? Do you think you can get exponential sales growth if there is only you yourself doing the sales and pitching? Or if there are 100 other motivated affiliates and partners pushing for you?

Make no mistake about it. If you want to make more sales…and more profits – then you gotta work out referral system to get people to sell for you.

Joe Girard is a legendary car salesman. He still holds the world record for most number of cars sold. Did he do all the selling himself? Hell no. He got tonnes of referrals who do the ‘pitching’ for him.

From satisfied customers who spread the ‘word-of-mouth’ for him to referrers who are paid a commission.

Piracy Can Be Good For Marketing…

Yes. Ironic as it sounds, it can be – provided you know how to do it right.

I have to confess this apply more effectively towards the informational marketing niche. More specifically digital informational products.

You see. In the digital informational product arena, almost everything gets pirated. It is the reality of the game you have to face up to.

Everything can be downloaded and distributed, whether you like it or not.

E-books. Mp3. Graphics. Videos. Games. All can be easily ripped off.

With the explosion of file sharing sites and peer-to-peer network (P2P), it is only a matter of time before you find your product up there within those ranks too.

So How Do We Solve This Darn Problem?

Well…as they say, if you can’t win ‘em…join ‘em!

Wait up! I’m not talking about being a pirate yourself, silly. But about how to turn it around – to your advantage!

Think about it.

There are millions of free-loaders and pirates wanting your product for FREE! Just check out the tonnes of traffic file sharing or torrent sites like Warez and PirateBay receive.
