Just because a niche is insanely competitive, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t start an affiliate site and claim a slice of the revenue.\nAt least, that\u2019s what Sa El of SimplyInsurance.com has done, and the way he lays out how he\u2019s done it will pique the interest of affiliate marketers out there.\nSa was a door-to-door insurance salesman in Atlanta. He wanted to get into the online space and build an affiliate site, and with more than 11 years\u2019 experience in the insurance industry, it made sense to enter the insurance niche.\nHe took Brain Dean\u2019s SEO That Works course to learn the ropes. But, when he told Brian he was going to build a site in the insurance niche, he was advised against it.\nDid Sa go back to the drawing board and look for a new niche?\nNope.\nSa told me there were two reasons why he decided to go ahead and build his site:\n\nHe likes a challenge, and\n\nIf the niche is that competitive, most of his competition is already at the top, leaving room for him to work his way up.\n\nThat was 2 years ago.\nToday, Sa\u2019s site is bringing in 6000 visitors a month and $13k-$15k in revenue.\nThese numbers prove how competitive the insurance niche is. That\u2019s a huge revenue number for 6k visitors, and Sa told me that only around 4.5k of those visitors are landing on his "money pages." (Some examples linked below.)\nTune in to hear how Sa strategically built out his content to capture longtail traffic, how he builds backlinks (lots of them) to rank his money pages, and the tools he\u2019s using to accelerate his efforts.\nFull Show Notes: Profitable Affiliate Marketing, Even in an Insanely Competitive Niche
