You’re cruising through ClickBank looking for new products to promote. You’re ready to enter a new niche and you’re excited about earning some more money with affiliate marketing. You see some good products that fall within the boundaries you’ve set up and you wouldn’t mind promoting one of them and raking in your cut of the profits, but there’s one problem… you don’t know anything about that niche. It’s an “insider’s niche” where they have their own slang and they can easily spot an outsider. How can you write your own sales page, autoresponder messages, or articles without looking like you’re clueless?

Don’t despair; there are a number of things you can do to quickly get up to speed in this new foreign niche.

1. Go to the product creator’s sales page and read it carefully. Especially take note of their bullet points, and create your own off of these. Their sales page probably uses slang words and you can study them and get a handle on what they mean.

2. Find sales pages of competing ClickBank products and study their bullet points and wording as well.

3. Look for similar books on Amazon.com and read some of the pages inside the book where they have that “Look Inside…” feature operational.

4. Find a few forums that deal with this niche and read up on it. Take notes too. Ask questions if you don’t understand something, but try not to spend too much time here. If you’re asking questions, make sure you’re asking them using a nickname. Remember, you’re going to be an expert soon.

5. Wikipedia can be really helpful because what you find here will likely include some of the slang involved in the niche. Wikipedia is a definite go-to when you’re trying to learn about a new niche; they can give you additional links to other pages you should read to familiarize yourself with the niche.

6. Do some research by putting various terms in your search engine and reading some of the suggested websites. There you go, instant material for you to learn from.

7. You could buy the product you’re going to promote and go through it. Figure out what you like about it and turn those into benefits for your sales page or articles.

Keep in mind that you don’t have to become a total expert in this new niche, you just have to know enough to put together a sales guide without looking like an idiot. If you want to create your own product for the niche, that’s one thing, but if your aim is to sell someone else’s product through your sales page or squeeze page, then don’t go overboard. Time is money and it’s likely this is not the only niche you’re working or want to work in.
