Probably the hardest decision for any affiliate marketer, aside from when to quit your day job, is what niche to get into first. It’s a hard choice. One with too much competition and you’ll probably get discouraged quickly. One with not enough volume and you won’t see the potential the industry has. Picking your hobby may just turn your hobby into work, and that’s no fun.

One idea is to look at the Best Affiliate Program of 2007 over at ABestWeb. 4checks.com and CrazyforBargains.com (both on the ShareASale network) are currently in the lead, but there are other choices there, too.

So pick a program, find out what network they’re running on, contact the affiliate manager, and start asking questions. How much does the top affiliate push per month? What sources are the top affiliates using for traffic, and what sources are still untapped?

While you’re at it, check out the other “Best of 2007″ awards.
