Affiliate Marketing is a very competitive business, some niches are so crowded that it’s impossible to make any profit without some kind of competitive advantage. But don’t worry, sky isn’t falling and as always, there are several ways of winning the battle with your competitors.
The advantage that can set you apart from your competitors can be a range of things, some obvious, some less so …
– Experience / Knowledge – this alone can make you the winner at times, for example when working in a niche that you are pro at. It might require special language that you know and the competitors don’t. There might be some crucial parts that only pros understand etc …
– Cheaper traffic – maybe you know a traffic source that is not so popular, but their traffic is good. Maybe you can come up with banners that have super high CTR, which translates to cheap traffic…
– Quality Creatives – related to the above point, but it can also mean you can make killer Landing Pages that will convert like a charm.
… there are many more I could mention, but I want to aim your attention at one more factor that can help you a TON : Better Payouts.
