Yes, really, you do.
Why? Because you are doing it wrong. For those who are unfamiliar with the acai berry niche, 90% of affiliates do the following:
- Go to http://www.laurasweightloss.com/
- Register a girlsnameweightloss.com domain
- Set up a blog with the exact same pictures and exact same layout as laura’s
- Fire up a keyword tool, get approximately the same list as every other affiliate
- Set up prosper202 and,
- Fire up their adwords campaign
- Optimize the keyword list and bids.
What is wrong with that, one might ask. Well, if it happens 10, 12, 30, even 40 times its ok. When every single fucking acai berry affiliate does the exact same thing, then guess what? The niche gets saturated! And then all those affiliates whine about their profit loss, no sales days and google slaps. (update: as this post is written, there has been a report on wickedfire that an adwords account got deleted for promoting acai berries)
“Ok then you smartass, how would you do it?”
How would I dive in an oversaturated niche? Why, with a different angle of approach of course!
- First of all, I would find a way to use Oprah’s name in my campaign. There is a guy who is already doing that, and the others call him an idiot. He is not, unless he gets caught. By using Russian dont-see-dont-care servers and fake whois (you dont need an amazing domain, even oprah-acai-berry-official.info will work) you can abuse this for a month or two, and then rotate everything to avoid getting caught. This is a downright scam, so newbies should not even attempt it (newbies in fraud, not IM). I did warn you.
- Second idea. I would resurrect the whole damn history of weight loss supplements, and set up a blog with articles on why acai berry is better than each one. Why? Because I would create a keyword list for every old weight loss niche as if I were to promote it today. (it took me less than a minute to find 5 names http://www.philkaplan.com/thefitnesstruth/update.htm)
Why do that? Because, when you have the keyword lists of OLD weightloss niches, you can set your adgroups on each one, and write ads that say something like “Natural fat burners are a scam. Find out here”.
I would hire a good copywriter to make me articles debunking the INSERT OLD SCAMMY OFFER HERE, and gradually sell acai berry as the new “safe” offer. Rinse and repeat on every old niche. Cheap targetted clicks.
“People don’t look for old products!”
Yes they do.
- Third idea. Hug and cuddle all the victims of the other acai berry affiliates. People got scammed, and the internet is full of scam reports and complaints and whatnot. Set up a site pointing out the scammy acai berry offers, and subtly suggest the “safe” acai offers. These visitors are interested in weightloss as well, they are just a bit more clever than the rest. If you can convince them, you can sell.
Visitors looking for acai scams can also get foraged for their emails by giving out free pdf reports. You can set up a forum on the site for repeat visits, you can tell them which phone numbers to call for credit cancellations, you can have instant non stop testimonials. You can also “rat out” the sites that are scammy from other affiliates, but of course you will not “rat out” the real ones. Simply ask for slapped abandoned acai blogs in #cakes and you got like a dozen to rat out every month. Make it look like a victory in your site “Another acai scammer taken down by ASR”.
Just play the good guy, find the least scammy acai berry offer, and point the visitors to it. “ASR approved” badge on the banner. (Acai Scam Revealed)
This is not just about acai berry niche, you should use your imagination on everything. This post will either rekindle the whole acai niche or rain a world of hatred on me. Maybe both.
The precious few will get the hint.
