Hi everyone, I'm Roman and you're on the Dr. Cash channel. In this video, we continue our acquaintance with affiliate marketing and are going to talk about what verticals mean, what types exist, and which ones are better for beginners. Let's go.
So, in affiliate marketing, a vertical is a niche or product area united by one topic. Here is a list of popular verticals, and not only, and in the future, it may, and most likely will, be enlarged. For now, let's analyze the most common products. At the moment, let's start, of course, with the Neutr vertical, one of the most profitable in affiliate marketing. Its name comes from the word neutraceutical, and it includes products for health and beauty, but not drugs. Neutra, in turn, is divided into a huge number of sub-verticals.
The next equally popular vertical is gambling. Here, we're talking about casinos, poker, and other gambling games. You can earn a lot here, but the capital for the start is not small. Again, on average, if a beginner has a clear mind and constantly drinks vitamins for the brain, it may be enough for him to have $11,000. It happens the same with the betting vertical. Here, we're talking about bets placed in a separate category of offers.
The next popular vertical is e-commerce. Here, our task is to provide the population with goods from absolutely different categories: clothing, furniture, electronics, etc. To start here can cost a few hundred, or in the case of a talented beginner, $300. You can also meet such terms as white and gray goods, but in fact, it is the same thing, and the colors talk about the methods of promotion.
The next vertical is, of course, crypto. It's possible to earn on it and not dealing directly with the currency itself. At the moment, there are four main types of offers: investments, that is attracting customers to various brokers selling training on all kinds of earnings on crypto trading, so to attract users to the trading platform, and of course, auto trading, selling software that trades for the user. The only nuance here is a high entry threshold. In order to work, you need to have about $5,000.
The next popular vertical is gaming. It contains offers of various online games for PC, consoles, or mobile devices. There are large-scale projects as well as projects of independent studios. Also, there are here adult projects that bring the most money, but like any gray theme, they need to be able to promote.
The least popular verticals are closed by education or essays. Here are promoted offers on writing all kinds of essays, reports, diplomas, scientific papers. It should be taken into account that the vertical is seasonal. You can feel it here mainly in late spring, early summer. Among the nice features, there is an opportunity to work on such a payment model as revenue share, that is for a percentage of further payments from the attracted client.
Here I will talk about the verticals where beginners will find it easier to feel affiliate marketing and understand the essence of the work. First of all, it's white hat. Compared to other verticals, you can't earn so much on it, but there will be no problems with bans and bypassing moderation. You will be able to carefully and step by step launch and analyze campaigns without rushing.
