Can affiliate marketers profit from a 150-billion dollar industry?

[psyche18]

Without a doubt: yes! Affiliate marketers might want to start looking at weight loss products to promote, as spending on said products is predicted to hit that astronomical sum of money in 2007 - from the US alone.

It's a fact that the rapidly rising rate of obesity is a major cause of concern, and all over the world governments are stressing the importance of healthy eating habits and lifestyles. But for those who want to have their cake and eat it too, diet products are the alternative.

What other industries prove highly profitable for affiliate marketers?

There are a couple of weight loss affiliate programs at AffiliateBOT and I think they are converting like crazy!

But is it really 150 Billion Dollars? Or, perhaps 15 billion? Seems like you can start a war in Iraq with that kind of money!

150 billion dollars! With that size of industry, there's room for everyone! There are several industries out there that are highly profitable to affiliates. Even the least imaginable items have affiliate programs. But I think the most marketable ones are the businesses that people don't usually have access to except online, as opposed to the stores that can be found in the mall or on the streets of downtown. Like loans for example, you can go to a bank but you get only one quote but if you search online, you get a lot of options. Hard-to-find items like collectors items or specialty items are often searched for online, or even merchandise that people don't want to be seen buying from a store. It's still a combination of the right item or service to promote and the right affiliate network to join.
