Tip: Use current events to drive traffic to affiliate offers
Use current events to drive traffic to affiliate offers
If you are having trouble finding a low-competition, high-traffic niche for your affiliate marketing, here’s a tip that can help you out. Just keep track of current events in the news or on TV, and exploit the opportunities.
Keep track of the news and keyword trends
Every day when you read the newspaper or watch TV news, you should make note of any truly novel, attention-grabbing pieces of news. People who hear about it will search for more information on Google. If it is a new piece of information, there may not be a lot of websites about it. This is your chance to capture large amounts of traffic by putting up a quick blog post or website with the right keywords.
Another place to search for upcoming topics is Google trends. They show you the most searched keywords on a daily basis. These keywords often reflect current events as well.
Monetize with relevant affiliate offers
When you create a quick website or article, you will want to find a relevant affiliate offer. You may have to be creative. If the topic is a celebrity musician, you could offer ringtones from the musician. If the topic is technology-oriented, you could offer tech gizmos for sale. In the worst case, you at least put up some Adsense.
Move fast to profit from current events
Many news items blow over after a few days. You have to be alert for hot topics, and move quickly to profit from current events. This tactic is not for every affiliate marketer, but something to keep in mind if the opportunity arises.
