To many times I see beginners starting to create their own product for a niche without fully testing to see if that niche wants your product. Using other products to help test is a great way to do it!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9646','Joel Osborne'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9646','Joel Osborne','That is a very good point Mike!

Just be sure to be building an opt-in list from your affiliate marketing efforts, so you already have a targeted audience for your own releases in that niche down the road!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9644','Captain Affiliate'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9644','Captain Affiliate','Great post, Mike - the concept of using affiliate marketing to test the waters in a given niche before committing to developing products for that niche is really powerful, yet seldom discussed. \r\n\r\nJust be sure to be building an opt-in list from your affiliate marketing efforts, so you already have a targeted audience for your own releases in that niche down the road!'); return false;">Quote</a></div> Great post, Mike – the concept of using affiliate marketing to test the waters in a given niche before committing to developing products for that niche is really powerful, yet seldom discussed.

Judging the best products is maybe not that hard, and after a while setting up a way to capture leads should be apparent, but generating traffic to a new product quickly enough to be able to make judgments implies Pay per click, and while I have had some success there it has definitely been a mixed bag. Now if the resources are there and you are able to suffer some negative cash flow as a cost of doing business, this makes more sense.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9641','Earl Netwal'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9641','Earl Netwal','Perhaps a little easier to say than to do.

Product selection is key, as an affiliate of as your own product. So you have to look around to find products people want. Not all affiliate products "out there" will qualify, so you need to make your own assessment.

As you stated above this also allows you to gather information about what people really are looking for before you create your own product and will allow you to target your product to exactly what your visitors want. Best part about affiliate marketing is that there a really no upfront costs, although you would technically at least need an autoresponder to start collecting names.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9639','Brett McEllhiney'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9639','Brett McEllhiney','Affiliate products are a great way to explore a niche before you decide if it is worth the cost of creating your own product.
