How To Start An Affiliate Website Around Dancing
Dancing is a versatile niche where you have tons of angles & verticals you could focus on as an affiliate.
For example, you could create dance tutorials and tips around some specific dance genre and promote online dance courses. Or you could simply review dance clothing & gear and use affiliate links to promote those specific products.
You could even do both if that’s your cup of tea.
What makes this niche so good is certainly the combination of high-ticket products and recurring commission structures. There’s some big money to be made in this niche.
If you have a website, YouTube channel, or social media, you probably already know what to do next with these 10 dance affiliate programs.
But if not, I’d like to show you where to get started if you want to promote these programs (successfully) using the affiliate website route;
Start your very own dance website and make money.
Is it impossible to get approved for an affiliate program if only one article on your website is about the subject matter? TIA
Hey there Raymond,
It really depends on the affiliate program, some brands accept everyone and some require you to have an established audience in the niche before they let you in. Generally, if the brand’s affiliate program is hosted on an affiliate network like ShareASale or Commission Junction, then it’s going to be easier to get accepted and start promoting their products.
If you want to join an “in-house” affiliate program of some brand, they usually have a section in their application form where you can tell why you’d want to promote their brand. This is where you could convince them to accept you into their affiliate program. Perhaps your article brings a lot of traffic that would lead to many sales to the brand. The sales and brand awareness is what they’re ultimately after and you should try to convince them you can provide them one or the other.
But yeah, it’s not impossible even if you have just one article about the subject topic. There are many affiliate programs in the dancing niche and surely you’ll get accepted into some of them. Although, I recommend not mentioning that you only have 1 article about the subject matter.
Regards,
Mikko
