So I am brand new to this affiliate thing. I do not have a website currently, but have no fear of getting that done. I have read enough to feel confident in putting one together. My question is, Do you sign up for an affiliate account first? Or do you make a website first?
I have this question because most of the posts and blogs I read say to go with what you love, and find your niche. Well- how do we know what niches are out there without first signing up with an affiliate and picking from those? One that I looked at says that as soon as you sign up someone is going to call you to see if they will accept you. This is fine with me, but will they take me if I am in the picking a niche step, and not the I have a good website with some traffic step.
So- what comes first? And if you are picking a niche without looking through what the affiliate programs offer, how do you know which one to pick? For instance, one of my passions (as many people tell you to follow) is completely obscure, and my not have anything that fits with an affiliate.
If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.
