Andrew Hansen & Josh Stanton’s Elite Niche Research affiliate training course is one of my favorite online courses. I found a ton of value buried in this 33 part video course and I know you will too.
The course is designed to help affiliate marketers uncover the most profitable niche markets and keywords, find the best affiliate programs for those markets and keywords, and how to turn what may seem like a small amount of traffic into a huge amount of income.

The course focuses on discovering high converting keywords and products and then attracting the people searching for those terms to your website. Once you’ve got them to your website it’s easy to convert this traffic into buyers because they already want to buy your product! That’s the power behind the techniques presented in this course. Even if you’re only getting 100 visitors per month, the majority of them are going to give you a commission because the keywords you’re targeting are the most profitable ‘buying’ keywords.
I began going over the videos in Elite Niche Research just after Christmas, 2010. On December 27th I registered the domain for my first Elite Niche Research project and began setting up my first niche website using the techniques I was learning in the course. To be honest, I already knew about the product I decided to promote and I had already been using it for a few months, but I had no idea that the opportunity to make money with it was so good.
When I ran the product through the new procedures that I had learned from Elite Niche Research I found that it looked quite good and had a lot of potential to earn me a monthly commission payment. I then did some domain name research and registered a domain right away. I was in action mode at this point, and I started writing my first few articles based on the keyword research that I had already done.
Elite Niche Research Review
On the 7th day after registering the new domain I received my first email notifying me that I had made a sale. I know the sale came through the new website and not from an old affiliate link I had placed someplace else because I set up proper link tracking statistics so that I can tell which links are converting the most sales. The sale that came in on January 3rd was tracked back to the new site!
I checked my Google Analytics stats and discovered that the new site was already receiving some small amounts of search traffic for the buyer keywords that I’ve been targeting. This is an extremely positive result if you ask me. The website I had set up just 7 days earlier was already appearing on page 2 and 3 of google for some of the profitable keywords that I had discovered using the Elite Niche Research methods. At this point, I was totally sold on the techniques and methods set out in the course.
There are several techniques in the course that really blew me away with their power and brilliance. A lot of the methods are very simple, but they are the kind of simple where after watching you rest your head on your hands and say “why didn’t I think of that?”. There are also a few techniques that aren’t as simple but are extremely powerful and effective. These methods can really turn around your affiliate marketing skills and put you in the ranks next to some of the best affiliates in the business.
I recorded a Camtasia video of the members only area for Elite Niche Research, I hope Andrew and Josh aren’t bothered by that… I just wanted to give everyone a bit of a sneak peak into what you get when you sign up for the course.

Overall Rating
I can honestly say that Elite Niche Research is one of my favorite training courses that I’ve gone through so far. It’s got a lot of great value packed into these videos and the techniques I learned in this course have given me a significant advantage over many of the other affiliates out there. Ive already got a huge list of offers that I want to promote in the future, but I’ve found so many good ones that a lot of them are going to have to wait a while as I move through the list working on one or two of the offers at a time.
Overall Elite Niche Research is definitely worth it’s $97 price tag and using the techniques taught in this course it will easily pay for itself over and over and over again. This is one of my most recommended training products for affiliates and niche marketers.
