Market Research Strategies:

By keyword:

NicheBot

Market Samurai

You can look for high paying AdSense markets or high paying CPA markets like insurance, mortgages, real estate, hosting, etc…

You can also look for high volume markets that are easier to get traffic, but harder to get top money. Example types of high volume markets: Celebrity, Pop culture & Television related

Use Google trends to research these.

These markets have lower cpc payouts & lower per lead payouts but can still be profitable since it’s easier to get traffic.  Test using CPA offers like Zip submits & email submits on these kinds of markets.

Browse commission junction & CB for new products:

Just search Commission Junction & ClickBank for the newest products and test promoting the ones that look like they’ll convert well.

Getting Started with AdSense & Affiliate Marketing:

Once you’ve picked your 1st market: go to Hubpages and create 2 or 3 hubs on this market.  Get links to them.  Then Sign up to AdSense via Hubpages.

For tonight I’m assuming no blackhat stuff. Everything I’m going over is 100% whitehat and shouldn’t get you into trouble.
