Did you notice that that small shop just selling samosa has more sales than a big sweet shop? Because it is a niche, where that person is an expert for making good & tasty samosa.

Okay, let’s take another example. Amazon is a big marketplace selling almost all categories. But “Firstcry” is just selling baby products and it is more successful in that micro Niche (Baby products).

Did you know at the starting, Amazon is just selling books online?

Now, you know the importance of the Niche. Let’s understand how to choose a profitable niche.

As you see above figure, your niche = Talent + Passion + Market

First, find out what is drives you that is your passion. Then find what you are good at that is your talent. Then do research about what is the demand & what is the future?

Here, Jeelsblog.com is the domain name and it is only one (unique). simply website name. the domain name has importance for the traffic (SEO). So, choose your domain name according to your niche. like my niche is blogging so I choose jeelsblog as a domain name. (My name is Jeel & my niche is blogging).

Now, you required hosting space to host your affiliate blog. you can host your website on your computer but you required 247365 Power and Internet connectivity. (It’s very very difficult). So, there are hosting companies, that provide some space on their severe to host our website. As well as Internet connectivity. following are some hosting providers as well as domain registrars.

They are providing different plans like shared hosting, VPS hosting, WordPress hosting, etc.

I recommend you to go for Shared hosting or WordPress hosting at the starting level. As you grow and you get more and more traffic then shift to the VPS hosting.

WordPress Setup, Theme, and Plugins

Now, you have to Install WordPress on your hosting provider. For most of the hosting providers, the process is the same. They provide Automatic WordPress installation just you have to fill in required details like username, password, etc. That’s it. (It will take a few minutes to install)

Now, you can log in to your WordPress admin directly from the cPanel of the hosting provider or type URL:

The theme is the appearance of your site. From Leftside bar Appearance > theme > Add new. Choose the theme that you like. But it should be based on affiliate marketing. you can use generetPress, oceanWP for free, but if you want some paid theme, I recommend you use Affiliate Booster Theme.

Now, you can start your own Amazon Affiliate Blog and you can earn money. you can also go to some other companies products or services for an Affiliate program.
