Niche Research Framework
A repeatable method to choose affiliate categories before full product commitment.
Map search demand by buyer stage so money content gets priority.
Score categories by payout model, product price range, and recurring value.
Estimate SERP difficulty, authority gap, and content quality threshold.
Rank niches by opportunity, effort, and expected time to first conversion.
Why this matters
Most affiliate projects fail by publishing random content before validating niche economics. This framework helps avoid that.
Core workflow
- Build a long-list of candidate niches.
- Score demand and monetization signals.
- Identify realistic content angles you can win.
- Launch a test cluster before scaling.
Output you should produce
- A shortlist of 2 to 3 provisional categories
- A high-intent keyword list for each category
- A first batch of review and comparison article ideas
