Clickbank Super Affiliate: Find Your Target Market & Sell Them

Find Your Target Market and Sell to Them

This next method is all about finding your target market and selling to them.

Whether it is on forums, social networking sites, or elsewhere, finding your target market and becoming friends with them is really important. Finding related forums is the best place to start. There are millions of forums out there and you can find the ones in your niche by doing a search for “Keyword” forums on Google, or by taking a look on http://www.big-boards.com

That is the easiest way to find some of the biggest and best forums in your niche.

Next you will need to sign up, it’s important that you try and use the same username at all the forums you post on, and also on all the social networking sites, and on blog comments you make.

Once you have signed up get a feel for the place and what members like and dislike. Introduce yourself to the members, create a rapport with them and always provide them with only top quality information.

Your forum posts should always be of the highest standard and provide members with the answers to the questions they ask.

This is why it is best to focus on a niche that you know a little bit about, otherwise you are going to have to do a quite a lot of research on the topic just to be able to answer forum posts.

You should only promote your affiliate links in your signature, some forums don’t allow this but most of them do. Never post affiliate links in your posts, especially on niche forums, it will only get you a bad reputation.

Target your niche carefully and post, post, post!

Posting on other peoples blogs is another great way to get known in your niche and to get your affiliate link out.

Don’t abuse this one guys, it can come back and bite you on the butt.

First of all you need to find some blogs that are related to the product you are promoting, between ten and twelve different blogs is absolutely fine. Then I want you to make some comments, no spam, real comments using you affiliate links as the URL.

A lot of people visit blogs and many will click on your link. It is extremely common that you will get one or two sales a month from just one post here. This works really well but don’t abuse the system.

You can also use some social networking websites to promote your products. This can work well, but there are better options.

Find a niche related social networking website, there are lots of them and many get a lot of targeted visitors per day. Directing just a few of these visitors can make you a sale or two.

A list of some of the top social networking sites can be found here:

Of course, they won’t all be suitable for promoting your product. Using the social networking site Bebo, which is aimed at teenagers, isn’t going to sell a gardening eBook is it?

Maybe the social networking site Care2.com would be a better way to promote a gardening e-Book, as it is focused towards gardeners and people who care about the environment.

Getting to know prospective customers and taking your time to help them is a great way to build trust and get them to buy the product. This is going to be required if you want to make the sale.

On a final note about this, don’t spam. Be nice, share quality information and make sales as a bonus.
