I used to think that Baby was the smartest of the turtles but she is proving me wrong.Here is a picture of her waiting for the scrap rocks to come out of Gizmo’s mouth. Now why they love to eat the rocks I have no idea but it used to be that Baby would go off into her own corner to sort out the rocks she wanted. As she gets bigger she seems to be content with the scraps.

Not smart on her part. Are you doing the same with your business?

Now don’t get me wrong I love affiliate marketing but I love affiliates selling my products better. It is part of the reason I created the Niche Affiliate System.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to enter new niches. Find out what is selling to the crowd so you know exactly how…

• They consume information
• The type of information that is selling
• The amount people will spend for information
• Who the list owners are in the niche

The key is that ultimately you want your product and your affiliates selling it. Marlon Sanders calls it trading products for dollars rather than time for dollars which we are all used to if you have a JOB.

Use your affiliate marketing to better understand your niche, build the relationships and find the holes that can be filled just like I show you in the Niche Affiliate System but then you need to get your product out.

This way you can leverage the relationships you have built. If you are filling a missing spot in the market don’t you think that most of the product owners you have supported in the niche would be interested in making some extra affiliate cash recommending your product to their customers?

Do you think the list you have built to promote those other people’s products would be interested in that hole stuffer too?

See once you are comfortable in the niche it is easy to find the spot where you don’t compete but complement others. I know you can so what is stopping you?

I can hear it now. I can’t create a product, I don’t know how. So if that is your excuse start by following the plan in Niche Affiliate System. Take some of your profits and invest in Marlon’s Info Product Dashboard and get it done.

No reason for you to settle for scraps is there?

After the last time the turtles went on a fish diet the gold fish got a lot more careful. After a month or so though that caution went away and the biggest one got aggressive again. When I would feed the turtles the fish would push them out of the way to get his share.

Yesterday that caught up with him and the turtles are back on a fish diet. Despite being bigger than the turtles it did not stop them from making a meal out of him.

Now it is not pleasant to see but it is the turtle’s nature to eat fish. Not sure what triggered it as my turtles are always well fed in fact maybe a bit too much at times but something set them off.

Now how does this apply to your marketing?

No matter how big you get in your niche there is always a potential turtle out there ready to eat you for lunch. It is one of the reasons that I spread the risk over multiple niches and am always testing out new ones.

I put together a report on how I go through and test out niches called Niche Affiliate System. It walks you through all the steps from…

• finding the niche
• locating good products
• discovering the hot buttons
• and much more

So that I can start by using other people’s products and find out exactly what the people in that niche want before I take the time and spend money to have my own product or products in that niche.

This allows me to build my list of customers while building relationships with the other players in the niche. Now when I am ready to create my product I am almost sure it will be successful instead of rolling the dice coming in.

Check out Niche Affiliate System and follow the steps and get going in more than one niche to have your risk spread before someone decides to go turtle on you and have you for lunch.
