Let’s think about this….
Will Jimmy fulfill his payment
commitments?

STEP 2

TIMING IS EVERYTHING
NICHE LIFE CYCLE
DEVELOPMENT GROWTH

MATURITY DECLINE
PHASE 1 Seed Investment and Product Creation

DEVELOPMENT
IDEAL time for affiliate marketers to find new products
preparing for promotion in the desired niche.

Best time to begin developing a relationship

with vendors

Extra time to build an aggressive marketing

network for the desired product before launch

Far less competition

PHASE 2 Product Launch & Promotion

GROWTH
Growth is where we find the greatest &
fastest profit potential.

Most generous commission policy throughout

products lifecycle
Most aggressive marketing campaigns from
the vendor

Enthusiastic and helpful service and

support for affiliate marketers
Amazing scalability potential, especially if
prepared for during development phase
PHASE 3 When a Niche becomes mainstream & consistent

NICHE MATURITY
When a niche goes mainstream, affiliate marketers
find new, stable opportunities.

Smaller vendors/projects lose market share

“Kings” of the niche emerge, potentially providing

stable cash-flow opportunities with smaller BUT
consistent returns

Highly successful “Kings” can also discontinue

affiliate programs if they prefer to manage their
own growth
PHASE 4 A niche fails or suffers a Great Loss

DECLINE
Sometimes Niches have enormous hype but crash,
destroying the industry or leaving 1 “King”.

Recent Crypto Crash leaving only a few major

players, such as Binance

The Internet Bubble Crash
