Why You Can't Make Money Affiliate Blogging (And What to Do to Make Money)

If you are just starting out, no matter how hard you try, you can't make money affiliate blogging if you don't do this:

Target hungry markets with the money to spend.

In other words, if you don't look for people who are terribly in need of the affiliate product you want to offer and are ready to spend money to get it, then you won't be able to make a single cent not to mention taking home thousands of dollars every single month.

So what can you do to make money affiliate blogging?

Simple: Go back to the reason why you can't make money.

In other words, target hungry markets with the money to spend.

What you should know is that your success in this business can only be taken to the next level if you build your blog on what people need in your target market.

Don't just go about picking any niche you like and then decide it is that niche you want to make money from by promoting affiliate products on your blog.

What you should do instead, is to go where the money is, as Ewen Chia calls it. Pick a market already filled up with people who want what you have to offer. And not only that, the market you pick must also have the money to spend to get what they want.

An easy way to do this is to search for key word phrases using a tool like Keyword Discovery.

But before you start searching for those key word phrases, include trigger words like "find" and "learn" to discover those people who are ready to spend money.

Here is an example: Let us assume that your target market is "play acoustic guitar." You will do much better by searching for a key phrase like "learn to play acoustic guitar" using the tool above.

This is because people searching for that phrase are willing to pay money to learn everything about playing the acoustic guitar. Doing things this way will make it very easy for you to make money affiliate blogging.
