Frequently Asked Questions
Should I pick a niche I am passionate about or one that is profitable?▾
Aim for the overlap. Passion keeps you publishing for the 6–9 months before income arrives, but the niche still needs buyers and products to pay commissions. If you must choose, lean towards a profitable niche you find at least mildly interesting.
How narrow should my affiliate niche be when starting out?▾
Start narrow enough that you can realistically become the best resource on the topic. "Budget smartphones for students" beats "technology". You can always expand once you have authority in the smaller space.
Can I change my niche later if it is not working?▾
Yes, but give it a fair trial of at least 15–20 quality articles and several months first. Switching too early is the most common reason beginners never see results, because SEO needs time to compound.
