AffiliateX - Clickbank Niche Affiliate Programs & Internet Marketing Tools

From a few extra bucks a month to several hundred… you can see why it is appeals to a wide range of people.

In fact, there’s nothing new about this market – corporate companies have been carrying out paid surveys for years but they did it in an office or over the telephone before the dawn of the internet.

Essentially, a company pays the consumer for their opinion of their product or service and since huge amounts of money are spent each year on advertising and market research there is no shortage of surveys to be completed and no shortage of consumers who want to get involved.

For you as an affiliate, this is great.  There’s no doubt paid surveys is a very lucrative market and so naturally a competitive one.  

In order to maintain your edge with Adwords you will most certainly need to set up a review page to beat the competition since direct linking to the vendor’s page will prove to be costly in this niche.

A quick keyword check on Google reveals several review pages promoting paid surveys which prove there is definitely profit to be made in this niche.

Offer a little more than just 2 or 3 reviews for this niche.  There are literally hundreds of online paid surveys – so gain trust in your visitor by telling them what they should and shouldn’t look out for with surveys.  Add in some tips for choosing a survey to complete or information on the different types of surveys etc.

This requires a little more work on your part… but there’s plenty of information on the internet you can use and you will be well rewarded with sales if you go the ‘extra mile’ in this niche.  It’s here to stay, so make it worth your while.

For any products you are considering promoting in a niche it is always advisable to sign up to 2 or 3 newsletters to see the quality and type of content being sent to subscribers.  

This helps you with ‘fodder’ for your own newsletter/auto responder if you want to develop that niche further.

When researching keywords use the brand name keyword of the ‘top pick’ of your review site i.e. if you were  promoting the top 3 on Clickbank but your ‘top pick’ was the http://www.paid-surveys-at-home.com/  include that as one of your keyword phrases to promote with.

For example, using Google’s free keyword tool we can see that the global monthly search volume for paid surveys online is 90,500 which is far too broad and costly to even consider using with Adwords. However, a search on the brand name ‘paid surveys at home’ returns a monthly search volume of 4,400 which is not only targeted but far more affordable.  Additionally, taking this keyword and a little more digging with Google’s free keyword tool will uncover quite a few more long-tail targeted keywords with a healthy search volume.

For example, ‘paid to do surveys’ has a monthly search of 12,100 and ‘paid survey sites’ has a monthly search of 9,900.    

You can see that there is a very healthy demand in this niche so do some keyword research first and checkout what affiliates are doing on Adwords and with what keywords.

Don’t try and promote using hundreds of keywords.  Set up 3 or 4 ad groups with no more than 5-10 keywords and monitor your click through rate and sales.  Then expand your keyword list.
