Top affiliate programmes in three popular affiliate niches

Here, we talk about the most important considerations for your business when starting in affiliate marketing.

When you first get started in affiliate marketing, there is one big choice that you have to make right away: are you going to use the Internet presence you already have, relying on your interests to direct what affiliate programmes you advertise; or are you going to look for profitable affiliate niches and stake your claim there?

For many, it’s a no-brainer; you got into affiliate marketing to make extra money, not because you specifically love doing Internet marketing. So why wouldn’t you choose to work in the most popular affiliate niches?

What are the most profitable affiliate niches?

Before you can start looking for the top affiliate programmes to advertise, you’ve got to find out what affiliate niches you’re going to work in. There are hundreds or thousands of niches, and each can be presented to multiple audiences with just a few tweaks. However, these three affiliate niches are considered some of the most profitable (and evergreen) available:

  • Health: Superstar affiliate John Crestani built his six-figure affiliate marketing business in the health niche. He promotes fitness supplements, but others promote exercise equipment, natural medical cures, or dieting programmes.
  • Wealth: Did you know that you can be an affiliate marketer for affiliate marketing? It’s true. You can also market gambling, forex investing, and other wealth-growing opportunities.
