Biz Opp affiliate programs, (or business opportunity programs) can offer some of the best rates of commission for affiliate marketers. The “making money online” niche can be incredibly lucrative if you can get it to work for you. One of the main problems with this niche though is of course competition. The money online niche is well subscribed by a lot of affiliates. But is affiliate marketing oversaturated in this niche? Of course the answer to this all depends on your marketing strategy.
If you want to build a website around the money making online niche, don’t expect to quickly rank a website for this keyword or any like it. It’s near impossible to do so. But there’s other strategies you can apply to biz opp affiliate programs, especially if they offer a good compensation plan.
Biz Opp Affiliate Programs – The Six Figure Funnel
Having a great business model with an affiliate program is worth its weight in gold. This is for a number of reasons. If, for example you’re selling a single product for a $100 commission, you’ll need to sell a lot of them to replace an existing income.
But if you choose a business model with a product range, high ticket products and recurring commissions, you’ll have a much easier time of it. You’ll also be able to use paid advertising in your marketing efforts. With a lower value product or a single product, it will be much more difficult to use paid marketing and still make a profit.
A good sales funnel should contain:
- High ticket digital products – digital products can be sold globally with no postage or handling costs. As such they pay out much larger commissions than physical products ever can.
- Recurring commission products – software products and memberships give the affiliate marketer a recurring commission on every product they sell. This soon mounts up over time with many sales.
- A product range – affiliates can earn commissions from products bought later on by their referrals, even if it’s years after their initial referral sale.
- A built in sales team – closing sales on your behalf.
- Multi-tier commissions – these are commissions based on sales made by your referrals.
See SFM Digital business System for more on this model. A digital product range also offer much higher levels of commission than physical products typically do. Comparing Amazon, for example to digital products you can see the commission rates will vary from 3-10% for physical products on Amazon, compared to 30-40% for digital products.
Marketing A Biz Opp Affiliate Program
With a digital business which offers high commissions like the one described above, you can more easily use paid marketing strategies and come out with a profit. With low value items this is much more difficult. Some biz opp affiliate programs don’t offer such a range of products.
With lower value products, or if you’re less invested in the six figure business funnel (and therefore will earn lower commissions), you’ll need to find a marketing strategy which accommodates the lower commission levels.
With many business opportunities niches already bursting at the seams, it’s tough getting found with a small website; especially when you’re competing with the likes of Forbes and moneysavingexpert.com, for example.
Building A Niche Website For A Biz Opp Affiliate Program
One way to advertise a biz opp affiliate program is through a niche website. However, there’s plenty of competing websites for major keywords such as “make money online”, “home based business”, “affiliate marketing for beginners” etc.
You need to find a niche within a niche and delve down to find the keywords which offer much less competition. Here’s an example of a site I built to do exactly that: http://autopilotmoneymakingsoftware.com/. The site was built around the keywords “autopilot money making software”, which has lower competition on Google than say “money making online”, for example.
This can take some time of course but a good place to start is with Google’s keyword planner. Find long tail keywords with low SEO difficulty; (less competition than others). Then create a micro niche affiliate website which targets the main keywords which are less competitive than the others. This website is an example of a micro niche affiliate site in the biz opp affiliate marketing niche. As you can see, this site has been built around the keywords “affiliate marketing mentors“.

Other Marketing Strategies
There’s many other strategies of course for marketing an affiliate program. Depending on your particular program and the commissions it offers you can use any number of the following marketing tactics:
- Adwords – Google’s search marketing platform
- YouTube – Pay for people to see your video advert
- Facebook – Facebook lets you target potential customers by multiple demographics much like YouTube
- Bing – offers a similar platform to Adwords
- Many more social marketing platforms.
- Blogging
- V’logging – video blogging
- Link Building & SEO – (search engine optimisation)
You can also use many social media platforms to market your affiliate business for free. See free traffic source strategies for more information on free marketing strategies.
Affiliate marketing can be done in many ways but it’s a good idea to at least have some subscription products in your product inventory. Subscription products pay you again and again; whereas one time sales only pay you for making each individual sale.

Summary
If you’re investing in a biz op affiliate program – that is an opportunity which offers the ability to promote a high value product range as an affiliate, it’s worth choosing wisely. A good high value sales funnel is worth investing in, particularly if it can earn you large ticket commissions for sales you have generated.
You’ll also want access to other high ticket earners who have already trodden the path to success with this kind of business model, and a step by step modular process which anyone can follow.
