So I've been very busy lately, many of my own projects have been rejected for the moment. But because I've gone for the moment, that I was obliged to seek easier & faster ways to grow my affiliate income stream.
I found an interesting article there is not so long on how an affiliate has managed to dominate the Australian ugg boots of the market as they became popular (I can't find the article off the coast of the hand, but if you know kindly post it in the comments). I put this theory to the test by looking for similar objects which had an international call, but no one was capatilising on yet.
Now, there are two ways that you can address this method:
Look for a product that is in demand in your own country, but nobody is really sell, then look for someone who is selling abroad. You can establish a relationship with Supplier/distributor or even see if they have an affiliate program. Problems with the descent of the affiliate is that the shipment will be much more. I have had good success with the affiliate, even if the shipping is expensive, so I'm about 40% overall cheaper that any person who sells the product locally.You are looking for a product that is in demand abroad & is already well established in your country. The scenario above applies to this & if the product is established it will probably have an affiliate program.If you have done your research properly you should know already few things:
What international competition is likeWhether or not, you are beating their pricesHow format of their PPC ads (I use the Firefox Global Extension of Google for this)You want to make sure that you can provide the same product cheaper they can get it locally (including shipping). This will be your point of sale. For example, I sell a product locally that you can buy only in Australia for approximately $99 (VAT EXCL shipping), however abroad I can go for about $59 (dispatch Excl VAT). What one do you think will appeal more in PPC advertising?
Now create a minisite dedicated to the product, the site must contain general information of products (including variations) & especially a review on the product.
I have now to create a highly targeted PPC campaign using terms trademarks & other words very targeted, I think that will convert well. I know that the mark enables to convert terms & the rest of the terms I will test constantly (including refining the review landing page) until I am happy, I have a set of 10-20 keywords that will be converted to a minimal spend. The nature of these campaigns will attract a CTR high on ads (since they are thus a target) so that you should be able to gradually lower the CPC & maintain a decent position.
I put this example into perspective for you. Take the Iphone, it is just launched in Australia after having been around for some time. However, tens of thousands of people in Australia "have already one.". Now imagine getting on this train earlier this year (I admit that this is probably once in a lifetime product). But you get the idea.
Now, sit, monitor & move onto the next one.
