Hey guys and gals, I'm going to provide a backstory here as to kind of introduce myself and provide the setting that I'm presently in. So if you want to skip all that I will just provide the question at hand in the third paragraph. So I've been somewhat of a obsessive lurker for the last couple weeks on affiliatefix and many different sites trying to absorb as much good information as I can. Thankfully there are several good sources of info just a lot of screening of the content is needed, it can become a little overwhelming at times. Anyways I've gotten to the point where although I still have much to learn I feel confident enough to get started. I kind of would describe my process a 60/40, 40 percent of the time I put into my actual site and the other 60 percent I spend some more time researching the field so I can implement my methods in greater quality.
Now most of the research I've done and grown to be quite familiar with is running a targeted niche website with quality content such as reviews, getting it ranked up high with SEO to drive organic traffic and selling through a affiliate program. It finally made sense to me and I thought I can do that, it's going to take work but that's okay. I found a targeted but popular niche I'm genuinely interested in and have first hand experience with. With a lot of the search keywords it seems like I have one major competitor that has decent content and pulls in an average of 60,000 visits/month. I feel like if I'm going to put my hard work in, this might be a niche that might be worth it. So what's the problem you ask? let me explain.
As I continue to do my due diligence so to speak on the whole subject of affiliate marketing, I am finding that there seems to be more interest and success in other parts of affiliate marketing. Not so much the area that I am putting all my effort in, as I do like the SEO based website linked to a affiliate program because that makes the most sense to me right now, how it works and such. But I guess although I don't mind the hard work that this field requires, I want to make the most out of it by not wasting my time in an area with the least reward. So what I'm asking is should I be concentrating my efforts in possibly PPC marketing or social media or something else as opposed to what I'm doing which is SEO. I hope it's not too difficult of a question but maybe some of you can enlighten me a little bit as I am fairly new to this business. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
