Top 6 Niches For Affiliate Marketing in 2022

Do you want to know what the most profitable niches are in 2022?

Are you looking for a niche with low competition?

If you are thinking about starting an affiliate website, you are definitely at the right place! Because in this post, we will talk about the 6 best affiliate marketing niches for bloggers and marketers in 2022. Choosing the best niche is not easy, as there are so many options you can choose.

However, not all niches are the same. Some are more profitable than others. Some niches pay very well while others, not so much. The profitability of a niche depends on several factors, including its popularity and whether the audience is willing to buy. Therefore, before deciding on a niche it is always a good idea to check the available affiliate programs first. You want to make sure there are quality products/paid services related to your niche that your audience wants to buy.

Most marketers agree that the most profitable niches in affiliate marketing are those known as evergreen niches. An evergreen niche is a market with a high consumer demand that is always relevant and never goes out of style. The problem with those niches is that they can be very competitive.

But that shouldn’t scare you. Because every niche can be narrowed down further. You can pick any evergreen niche you like, analyze it and find the perfect micro niche for you. The key is to find a niche that you can specialize in and are passionate about it.

In other words, choose a niche that you can master. A niche where you will be seen as an expert over time. Of course, that will not happen overnight but “Rome wasn’t built in a day” either. The first step is the most important. And choosing the right niche is the most important step in achieving success.

Now let’s take a closer look at the top niches for affiliate marketing in 2022.

Best Affiliate Marketing Niches of 2022

Affiliate marketing is still one of the best ways to make money online. It doesn’t cost much to start an affiliate marketing website and the potential return on investment (ROI) is very high. Of course, that doesn’t mean that affiliate marketing is a get-rich-quick model of income. Hard work and quality content are required, but if you get the hang of it, you can expect to earn a full-time income.

The niches listed below have the highest chances of success in 2022. At least in my opinion. Although no one can be sure how 2022 will play out, each of these niches has promising sub-niches that can increase your chances of success.

1) Pet Care

Who doesn’t love pets? Millions of people around the world today own a pet and most of them (I hope everyone) want to provide their pets with the best level of care. The majority of pet owners say they consider their pets to be members of their family, and that should be of interest to you (the affiliate marketer).

It means that pet owners are willing to spend money on their loyal friends because they want their pets to be happy and healthy. People are spending more money than ever before on pet care and products, and the US pet industry reached $99 billion in sales. And the industry is expected to grow over the next five years. The Covid-19 pandemic also gave a boost to the growth of the pet niche, with more people looking to buy a pet than ever before.

Pets are in huge demand, and although this can be a competitive affiliate niche there are hundreds of pet programs you could join. Online shopping for pet products is also expected to increase in the years ahead, with the majority of the younger pet owners preferring to buy their pet supplies online. There are dozens of sub-niches (pet clothing, pet food, grooming products, pet health, pet supplements, pet insurance) you could get into.

As pet ownership continues to increase, then you can expect the pet industry to grow with it.

2) Gaming Accessories

Gaming is a hugely popular and profitable industry around the world. More than 2.5 billion people play games, and the gaming market will continue to grow in the following years. The gaming niche is one of the most lucrative for affiliate marketing, and it has several sub-niches such as:

• Virtual reality gaming
• Mobile gaming
• Console gaming
• PC gaming equipment
• Video game tutorials
• Gaming reviews

The gaming niche is huge and one of the most competitive affiliate marketing niches. But the demand is growing, and there was a huge boost in sales in 2021. The average gamer has no problem spending several hundred dollars per year on games and gaming hardware.

Gaming accessories are the perfect micro-niche for the affiliate who loves gaming but doesn’t know exactly how to enter the gaming niche. At least in my opinion.

The gaming accessories market is very profitable and is expected to continue to grow in the next 5 years. There are hundreds of products you can promote as a gaming accessories affiliate like keyboards, headsets, mice, controllers, gaming chairs, gaming monitors, and more.

3) Home Office Equipment

With more and more people working from home on a regular basis having an office at home is no longer a luxury. For many people nowadays is a necessity. The home office niche has always been popular, but since the Covid-19 started it has been booming. For example, standing desk sales have been through the roof for the last couple of years.

But that is not all. There are many more high-quality physical products you could promote, like ergonomic chairs, footrests, computer accessories (printers, scanners, etc), bookshelves, lamps, wastebaskets, and more. The home office niche is closely related to the “small business” niche and that means you can promote digital products/services as well.

Although the affiliate commissions offered for the physical products are not very high, the wide variety of products will compensate you. Digital products -like accounting or marketing software- offer higher commissions and reoccurring commissions as well.

No matter what you choose to promote, one thing is for sure. The home office equipment market is growing. And it is not that difficult to stand out from the crowd in this niche. You can still find plenty of low-difficulty keywords you could easily rank for.

4) Eco-Friendly Products

The eco-friendly niche has been gaining more and more interest in recent years and eco-friendly products’ popularity is increasing. There are many different sub-niches available and many affiliate programs to choose from. As an affiliate marketer, you could promote a wide variety of eco-friendly products such as:

• Baby products
• Skin and hair-care products
• Green household products
• Solar power & energy products
• Clothing & shoe products
• Eco-friendly lunch boxes & bags
• Reusables
• Cleaning products

The eco-friendly industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world with more and more people looking to buy environmentally friendly products. It is not too late for you to join the niche. In fact that is the perfect time to start an eco-friendly affiliate website.

Many brands are beginning to create eco-friendly & green products. And they are all looking for affiliates to promote their products. So finding affiliates programs to join will not be a problem. Here are some of the most popular ones:

• The Green Life
• Earth Easy
• Just Nutritive
• My Cleaning Products
• Just Natural Products
• Everlane
• Ecovessel
• Protect The Planet

5) Skincare

Skincare is a beauty sub-niche and a very profitable one. Although the competition can be fierce, the skincare market is growing faster than any other beauty niche. There has always been a strong demand for beauty products, and there are many skincare products you could promote as an affiliate.

The key to succeed in this market is to narrow down and get specific. Otherwise, your site might not rank in search engines. Skincare is a multi-billion dollar market and a very large market. That means that there are many opportunities for both bloggers and affiliate marketers, but you need to focus on a specific target audience.

I would focus on the beauty side of skincare and not so much on health-related skincare. If you target small niches like the ones below, your chances of success will increase.

• Skincare for teens
• Skincare for oily skin
• Skincare for men
• Eco-friendly skincare
• Skincare routing for sensitive skin

This way, it will be easier to get traffic from the search engines and increase your conversation rate.

Going micro-niche will help you grow your website authority faster. Finding skincare affiliate programs to join will not be a problem. Plus, you will never run out of products to promote.

6) Software

Software is an evergreen and very profitable niche because it is used in pretty much every profession. While trends go away, profitable evergreen niches always remain. Software will always be in demand. Although it can be a very competitive market (like every other evergreen niche), at the same time, there are many micro-niches that are less competitive.

For example, you could promote affiliate marketing software, like Everflow, OSI Affiliate, Impact, ClickInc, and others. You could also try selling SEO tools or even anti-viruses and business software.

Some of the top high-paying affiliate programs out there are in the software niche. It is no coincidence that some of the best affiliate programs you could sign up for are in the software industry. You can earn a lot of money as an affiliate selling software products and services. So building a site around that niche is a good choice.

Conclusion

These are the top 6 affiliate marketing niches for 2022. These niches are here to stay and are a great choice if you are struggling to pick a niche or don’t know how to start. Don’t forget you can divide these niches into subniches. Selling everything to everyone is not going to work.

But there is also no need to break your back trying to discover that perfect niche. It doesn’t exist. A niche that has no competition is a niche where there is nothing to sell or no one is intersested in buying anything.

Don’t be afraid of the competition. Focus on your target audience and create high-quality content that answers their questions.

And of course, promote quality products and services.
