But what\u2019s most important here are actually affiliate <em>networks<\/em>. Many people use these terms interchangeably, but a network is a place where you go to find the individual programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way I wrote this article is to share the best networks for beginners\u2014then within each network, I share some programs (and their niches) that you can sign up&nbsp;for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the best way of sharing affiliate programs\u2014because regardless of your niche, these networks will be great for&nbsp;you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Amazon Associates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/home\">Amazon Associates<\/a> is the absolute best affiliate marketing program for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sign up for its affiliate account in just a few minutes, and it sells virtually everything. So you\u2019ll be able to promote Amazon products, regardless of your&nbsp;niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, its commission rates are very low. You can see up-to-date rates on <a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/help\/node\/topic\/GRXPHT8U84RAYDXZ\">this page<\/a>. But as of this writing, most of the rates range from just 1\u20133%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1046\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-amazon-affiliate-program-rates.png\" alt=\"Amazon Affiliate program rates chart\" class=\"wp-image-147238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-amazon-affiliate-program-rates.png 1560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-amazon-affiliate-program-rates-634x425.png 634w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-amazon-affiliate-program-rates-768x515.png 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-amazon-affiliate-program-rates-1536x1030.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, it\u2019s super easy to use. Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/amazon-affiliate-marketing\/\">our guide to creating an Amazon affiliate site<\/a> to learn&nbsp;more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. All the big box stores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Amazon, all the big box stores have affiliate programs that are really easy to&nbsp;use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliates.walmart.com\/\">Walmart<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/partners.target.com\/\">Target<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/SF_MS_The_Home_Depot_Affiliate_Program\">Home Depot<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/l\/about\/lowes-affiliate-program\">Lowes<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staples.com\/sbd\/content\/about\/affiliate\/\">Staples<\/a><\/li><li>Etc&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also like Amazon, their commission rates are pretty poor. But they are an easy way to get started while you grow to eventually move to better-paying partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. AvantLink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avantlink.com\/\">AvantLink<\/a> is the first affiliate network I ever signed up for. I\u2019m not a huge fan of its reporting dashboard (it\u2019s not the most intuitive), but it\u2019s super easy to sign up and get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-avantlink-affiliate-dashboard-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"AvantLink affiliate dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-147239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-avantlink-affiliate-dashboard-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-avantlink-affiliate-dashboard-680x195.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-avantlink-affiliate-dashboard-768x220.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-avantlink-affiliate-dashboard-1536x441.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-avantlink-affiliate-dashboard-2048x587.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the best and highest-paying affiliate programs available through AvantLink include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>FFL123.com | 50% commission | Firearms\/Tactical<\/li><li>Super Speciosa | 40% commission | Health\/Wellness<\/li><li>Reddiyo | 30% commission | Cycling<\/li><li>Wedding Hashers | 30% commission | Custom\/Personalized Products<\/li><li>Sprinkle &amp; Sweep | 25% commission | Pet Products<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it has thousands of other programs, all categorized by niche. You can find the above programs and many more through <a href=\"https:\/\/classic.avantlink.com\/affiliate\/merchants.php\">AvantLink\u2019s merchant list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. ShareASale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/account.shareasale.com\/newsignup.cfm\">ShareASale<\/a> is another popular network for affiliate partners. It also lacks in the reporting department but is good enough for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2508\" height=\"1156\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-shareasale-affiliate-dashboard.jpg\" alt=\"ShareASale affiliate activity feed\" class=\"wp-image-147240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-shareasale-affiliate-dashboard.jpg 2508w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-shareasale-affiliate-dashboard-680x313.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-shareasale-affiliate-dashboard-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-shareasale-affiliate-dashboard-1536x708.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-shareasale-affiliate-dashboard-2048x944.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2508px) 100vw, 2508px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some great affiliate options on ShareASale include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Northwest Registered Agent LLC | $100 commission | Business Registrant<\/li><li>Promaster | 15% commission | Photography<\/li><li>Print Games Now | 35\u201345% commission | Printing\/Games<\/li><li>FreshBooks | $55 commission | Small Business\/Finance<\/li><li>Aviron Interactive | $110 commission | Fitness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find these merchants and many more on <a href=\"https:\/\/account.shareasale.com\/a-programs.cfm\">ShareASale\u2019s merchant page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Commission Junction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cj.com\/\">Commission Junction<\/a> (CJ) is one of the oldest affiliate networks out there, founded all the way back in 1998. Because of that, it has one of the widest selections of affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1359\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-commission-junction-dashboard-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Commission Junction dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-147242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-commission-junction-dashboard-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-commission-junction-dashboard-680x361.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-commission-junction-dashboard-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-commission-junction-dashboard-1536x816.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-commission-junction-dashboard-2048x1087.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cool programs on CJ include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Slova Cosmetics | 20% commission | Bath &amp;&nbsp;Body<\/li><li>Separatec Underwear | 20% commission | Clothing<\/li><li>US Service Animals | 25% commission |&nbsp;Pets<\/li><li>Puraclenz | 25% commission | Equipment<\/li><li>eHarmony | 30% commission | Dating<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The only downside to CJ is that its dashboard feels a little dated, and it is harder to sort through its affiliate merchants compared to the other platforms on this&nbsp;list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. TUNE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tune.com\/\">TUNE<\/a> is my personal favorite affiliate software due to its excellent reporting dashboard and ease of use. However, it\u2019s a bit different than the others on this list. Instead of being able to browse its affiliate partners, you have to find someone using its platform to use&nbsp;TUNE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"956\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5-tune-dashboard-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"TUNE dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-147244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5-tune-dashboard-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5-tune-dashboard-680x254.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5-tune-dashboard-768x287.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5-tune-dashboard-1536x573.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5-tune-dashboard-2048x765.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than recommending specific partners for this one, I\u2019ll refer you to <a href=\"https:\/\/mkt.tune.com\/media-partner-interest.html\">apply to become a TUNE media partner<\/a>. Once you sign up, it will automatically connect you with the best affiliate partners for your specific niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that you do need to already have an affiliate business in place to&nbsp;apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Impact Radius<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/impact.com\/partners\/affiliate-partners\/\">Impact Radius<\/a> has been extremely successful in the affiliate space, with brand partners including Airbnb, Adidas, Lenovo, and&nbsp;more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1351\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-impact-radius-dashboard-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Impact Radius dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-147246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-impact-radius-dashboard-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-impact-radius-dashboard-680x359.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-impact-radius-dashboard-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-impact-radius-dashboard-1536x811.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-impact-radius-dashboard-2048x1081.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the nice things about Impact is that it will continually recommend you brand partners based on your niche and current partners. This makes it easy to find new affiliate programs with minimal effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some great affiliate options on Impact include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Canva | 16\u201380% commission | Graphic Design<\/li><li>Pure Hemp Botanicals | 50% commission |&nbsp;CBD<\/li><li>Thumbtack | 30% commission | Services<\/li><li>Hyphen Sleep | 18% commission | Mattresses<\/li><li>Skillshare | 40% commission | Education<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Refersion Marketplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.refersion.com\/\">Refersion<\/a> is one of the most successful affiliate software out there, with big brand name partners including Amazon, Shopify, and BigCommerce. Its dashboard is super simplistic and easy to use, which is great for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7-refersion-network.jpg\" alt=\"Refersion dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-147247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7-refersion-network.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7-refersion-network-680x300.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7-refersion-network-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7-refersion-network-1536x677.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To find affiliates to partner with, you can sign up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.refersion.com\/\">Refersion Marketplace<\/a>. It has a great user interface to filter and find brands to partner with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1162\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-refersion-marketplace-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"List of affiliate partners on Refersion Marketplace\" class=\"wp-image-147248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-refersion-marketplace-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-refersion-marketplace-680x309.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-refersion-marketplace-768x349.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-refersion-marketplace-1536x697.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-refersion-marketplace-2048x930.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some excellent brand partner options on Refersion include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ZUGU iPad Cases | 15% commission | Phones<\/li><li>Peejamas | 10\u201320% commission | Kid\u2019s Clothing<\/li><li>Bodhi Dog | 20% commission | Pet&nbsp;Care<\/li><li>LUNA Sandals | 10\u201330% commission | Footwear<\/li><li>Bare &amp; Bones | 20% commission |&nbsp;Food<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Rakuten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, <a href=\"https:\/\/rakutenadvertising.com\/\">Rakuten Advertising<\/a> is another of the oldest affiliate networks out there that started in 1997. Like CJ, it suffers from dated-feeling interfaces but has a wide selection of brands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2066\" height=\"1568\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-rakuten-dashboard.jpg\" alt=\"Rakuten dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-147249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-rakuten-dashboard.jpg 2066w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-rakuten-dashboard-560x425.jpg 560w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-rakuten-dashboard-768x583.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-rakuten-dashboard-1536x1166.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-rakuten-dashboard-2048x1554.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2066px) 100vw, 2066px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some options for beginners include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Valise Homewares | 14% commission | House&nbsp;Goods<\/li><li>Ryderwear | 4\u201310% commission | Athletic Clothing<\/li><li>Trafalgar | 10% commission | Leather Goods<\/li><li>Big Little Feelings | 10% commission | Parenting<\/li><li>La Mariposa | 15% commission | Luxury Women\u2019s Clothing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Rakuten is my least favorite network because its interface is so poor, but it does have some interesting affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"post-nav-link clearfix\" id=\"section1\"><a class=\"subhead-anchor\" data-tip=\"tooltip__copielink\" rel=\"#section1\"><svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 14\" style><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M0 0h14v14H0z\" \/><path d=\"M7.45 9.887l-1.62 1.621c-.92.92-2.418.92-3.338 0a2.364 2.364 0 0 1 0-3.339l1.62-1.62-1.273-1.272-1.62 1.62a4.161 4.161 0 1 0 5.885 5.884l1.62-1.62L7.45 9.886zM5.527 5.135L7.17 3.492c.92-.92 2.418-.92 3.339 0 .92.92.92 2.418 0 3.339L8.866 8.473l1.272 1.273 1.644-1.643A4.161 4.161 0 1 0 5.897 2.22L4.254 3.863l1.272 1.272zm-.66 3.998a.749.749 0 0 1 0-1.06l2.208-2.206a.749.749 0 1 1 1.06 1.06L5.928 9.133a.75.75 0 0 1-1.061 0z\" style \/><\/g><\/svg><\/a><div class=\"link-text\" data-anchor=\"How to get started in affiliate marketing\" data-section=\"how-to-start-affiliate-marketing\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get started in affiliate marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Found an affiliate program that works for you?

It can be anything from a hobby, to a lifestyle, or to just about any other topic you can think&nbsp;of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as there are people interested in the stuff you want to talk about, you can choose it as an affiliate niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of niches include things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Gaming<\/li><li>Travel<\/li><li>Knitting<\/li><li>Woodworking<\/li><li>Etc<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure what to talk about, here are a few questions to ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What am I good&nbsp;at?<\/li><li>What am I curious about?<\/li><li>What do I know a lot&nbsp;about?<\/li><li>What do other people tell me I\u2019m good at or compliment me&nbsp;on?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The overlap in your answers is often a good starting point. For example, I\u2019m good at and curious about entrepreneurship, and people often compliment me on how creative I am at finding ways to make money. So on my own website, I blog about finance and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/find-affiliate-niche\/\">use Ahrefs\u2019 SEO Toolbar to find an affiliate niche<\/a> while doing your everyday Google searches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019re searching whatever questions you have, the toolbar will give you keyword data like how many people search that keyword per month and how difficult it may be to rank&nbsp;for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1686\" height=\"1236\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-ahrefs-seo-toolbar-data.jpg\" alt=\"Viewing Google SERP using Ahrefs' SEO Toolbar\" class=\"wp-image-147250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-ahrefs-seo-toolbar-data.jpg 1686w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-ahrefs-seo-toolbar-data-580x425.jpg 580w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-ahrefs-seo-toolbar-data-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-ahrefs-seo-toolbar-data-1536x1126.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1686px) 100vw, 1686px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find a keyword that gets a lot of monthly searches and seems easy to rank for, it may indicate a potentially good&nbsp;niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got some niche ideas that you\u2019re excited and know a lot about? The last main thing to check is their competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check competitiveness easily using <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/keyword-difficulty\">Ahrefs\u2019 free keyword difficulty checker<\/a>. Just enter your keyword idea in the tool, and it will give you a Keyword Difficulty (KD) score on a scale of 0\u2013100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11-ahrefs-free-keyword-difficulty-checker.jpg\" alt=\"Ahrefs' free keyword difficulty checker\" class=\"wp-image-147251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11-ahrefs-free-keyword-difficulty-checker.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11-ahrefs-free-keyword-difficulty-checker-630x425.jpg 630w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11-ahrefs-free-keyword-difficulty-checker-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11-ahrefs-free-keyword-difficulty-checker-1536x1037.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the keyword \u201ctennis shoes\u201d has a KD of 45, which may be hard for a newer website to rank&nbsp;for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, as a new site, you want to look for KD scores under 30. Anything under 30 could be relatively easy to rank&nbsp;for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Creating your website and content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have an idea of a niche, it\u2019s time to <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-niche-site\/\">create a niche site<\/a>. This can quickly be done by buying a domain name and website hosting, then linking your website to WordPress to edit the backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound a bit complicated, but it\u2019s actually pretty easy. Here\u2019s a comprehensive video on how to get started by WPBeginner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\">\n\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-dvbfbxkcora\" style=\"max-width:900px;\" class=\"arve\">\n\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t<div style=\"aspect-ratio:500\/281\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer 'none';autoplay 'none';bluetooth 'none';browsing-topics 'none';camera 'none';clipboard-read 'none';clipboard-write;display-capture 'none';encrypted-media 'none';gamepad 'none';geolocation 'none';gyroscope 'none';hid 'none';identity-credentials-get 'none';idle-detection 'none';keyboard-map 'none';local-fonts;magnetometer 'none';microphone 'none';midi 'none';otp-credentials 'none';payment 'none';picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create 'none';publickey-credentials-get 'none';screen-wake-lock 'none';serial 'none';summarizer 'none';sync-xhr;usb 'none';web-share;window-management 'none';xr-spatial-tracking 'none';\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-dvbfbxkcora\" data-lenis-prevent data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/DvbFBxKcORA?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" loading=\"lazy\" name referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/DvbFBxKcORA?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" title width=\"900\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your website is set up, you\u2019ll need to do some <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/affiliate-keyword-research\/\">basic affiliate keyword research<\/a> to map out the content you want to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to begin writing, I recommend checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/content-creation\/\">our guide to content creation<\/a> to learn how to make content that people will want to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Promoting your content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, once your content is created, it\u2019s time to <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/content-promotion\/\">promote that content<\/a> to start driving traffic (and sales) to your new affiliate site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of ways to promote your content\u2014like sharing it on social media, doing email outreach to other bloggers who may find it interesting, or even paid advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the best return on your investment (in my opinion) is going to be <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/seo\">search engine optimization (SEO)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranking on the first page of search engines like Google will ensure you get recurring traffic without constantly reaching out to promote your content or spending money on advertising.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better yet, SEO pairs perfectly with affiliate marketing because people who are searching for an answer are closer to being ready to buy than people mindlessly browsing social media. The former is actively looking for a solution to a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO does take time and effort to learn, but it\u2019s a skill you won\u2019t regret investing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many affiliate marketing programs out there, it can be overwhelming to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are plenty of super simple and easy-to-use affiliate programs and networks that you can get up and running in just minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this guide helps you to start your affiliate marketing journey.
