Today I was searching for a way to monetize a top secret niche site that I'm setting up as a side-side project. Adsense isn't really an option, and the traffic volume isn't huge at the moment anyway, so it would be hard to make much via PPC methods. I decided to look into some affiliate programs that I hadn't previously considered. That's when I stumbled across this little gem, MoreNiche.

MoreNiche offers a range of "niche" products to promote, and might have something worth checking out if you are struggling to monetize a niche site. The major positive at the moment is the sign up bonus. Basically MoreNiche seem to be giving away a minimum of $15 for doing nothing more than signing up.

When you join you will automatically be awarded with a $15 sign up bonus. You then earn a further $30 for learning about online marketing. Why? It is all thanks to our Cash Activated Bonus System which is designed to motivate you and to provide you with starting capital to promote our merchants.

Another aspect of MoreNiche that is highlighted on the FAQ's page is that they basically approve every applicant immediately.

You will be automatically accepted into the affiliate network, so that you can promote the products straight away. You will be given unique identifer links for every merchant and product in the network - no need to wait days for your application to be approved!

Perfectly suited for the beginner!

They actually give away well over 20 eBooks devoted to a whole heap of topics that will teach you how to make money via affiliate money. These books are for real, they are free for registered affiliates and I've downloaded them personally no strings attached. If I hadn't seen it for myself I probably wouldn't have believed it. There's also a members only forum. In short, there's a butt load of free resources at your disposal, and if you can't learn something from them, then you probably already know all there is to know.

When you become a MoreNicheâ„¢ affiliate (for free) you get access to over 50,000 pages of information about marketing successfully online. You also get access to a quick start guide, which is designed to get you earning commissions within 24 hours.

Me, I can do with the $15 to put toward my goal project, so I just joined. You can call me an affiliate whore if you like, but I'm not an affiliate whore that has $15 extra in his pocket.
