> Don't look out for affiliate solutions specifically, but keep an eye out for them. Especially when you found some product/service that's hard to find, but very valuable - do they have an affiliate program?
Are you suggesting to look at at a high-priced product that doesn't have an affiliate program, and cut a deal with the business owner to promote their products?
In my case I was searching for something niche very hard and nearly couldn't find it. It turned out it exists, but was marketed to a drastically different market and I was using 'alien' terms, so to speak. I think I noticed a small 'affiliates' link in the footer and got the idea to market to people starting from my starting point.
Wasn't sure if there was even one, turned out there are thousands.
I don't think you can specifically look for a niche. That's how you end up doing the exact same thing thousands different marketers are doing. Just be able to recognize the opportunity when it randomly presents itself.
Very clever. Sounds like this strategy is for an ultra specialised product, that you have need of yourself, so that you can write good copy about and which is not sold through the usual channels like Amazon etc.
Thanks for sharing. I'll rack my brains and see if I can apply this myself. I'd love to read a blog post about this strategy, if that's something you'd ever feel like sharing (without giving away your secret sauce of course.)
