Worthwhile and Evergreen Niches for Affiliate Marketers in 2022

Compendium.

A word bigger than its own description: a collection, compilation, treasury, digest.

It brings to mind a huge repository of everything that is, and related to, one subject. In this case, evergreen affiliate marketing niches.

It’s quite lofty to say that this is the best of the best in all the lists out there of top affiliate marketing niches and top affiliate marketing programs. No, this is not that, although the affiliate marketing programs listed here have been carefully chosen from among many “top” lists.

What sets this large list of affiliate programs apart from the rest is that these are from proven “evergreen” niches, those niches that will always be lucrative because they will always have a steady-buying market.

Brace yourself for a lengthy read… Here are the top evergreen niches in affiliate marketing and their affiliate programs.

Health and Fitness

Even before 2020 and Covid-19,  the health and fitness niche has always been one giant niche that includes several evergreen sub-niches: weight loss, muscle building, diet plans, nutrition, wellness… Anything and everything that has to do with losing weight and staying fit are part of this huge niche. This is one of those niches where you can start off with a sub-niche and then branch off to include other sub-niches. You can begin with its most popular, and arguably most profitable, weight loss sub-niche, and include diet and nutrition affiliate programs on your website.

Outside of affiliate marketing, the health and fitness market is one of the largest industries, valued at an estimated US$4.75 trillion. Despite the impact of the pandemic, the industry is still expected to grow 6 to 8%.

Social media and the emergence of preventative health care has helped boost the health and fitness niche. Fitness instructors and gurus are no longer confined to a fitness club or gym. They are on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, sharing their fitness routines, their activewear, their diet plans. They are sharing (and showing off for their sponsors) their active, healthy lifestyle and their influence gave rise to more health-conscious consumers.

As this niche is huge, affiliate programs abound. Sub-niches help to categorize these programs and provide websites a specific focus.

Below are some of the popular sub-niches in the health and fitness industry and their respective affiliate programs:

Weight Loss

Weight loss in itself is a big niche. It includes weight loss programs, supplements, equipment, and eBooks. We’ve featured weight loss affiliate programs and fitness affiliate programs before in the Affilorama Blog, and the few affiliate programs mentioned there are still active. Here are a few more that are worth looking into:

Diet and Nutrition

Most diet and nutrition websites are focused on weight loss so you can promote them on weight loss websites too. But, the diet and nutrition niche is not limited to that. Diet and nutrition covers “healthy eating”, not just for weight loss, but for overall wellness and healthful living. You’ll find nutrition supplements in this category, along with different diet plans like keto and paleo.

  • Diet To Go

    Customized meal plans you can either pick up or have delivered to your home

Muscle Building

This is related to the weight loss and diet/nutrition niche because you need those in order to gain and develop muscle. The primary market of this niche are men, but you’d find a large number of women are into bodybuilding too.

Most of the products you’ll find in this sub-niche are supplements, but unlike the diet/nutrition supplements, these are specific to building muscle mass.

We’ve featured bodybuilding affiliate programs before, and below are a few more to look into:

  • BPI Sports

    Their website has probably all you’ll ever need in your bodybuilding journey: apparel, supplements, and fitness programs.

Self-Help

As a niche, self-help is similar to health and fitness in many ways: both are booming industries with self-help industry growth predicted to be at US$13.2 billion by 2022; both are about improving the self, and living the best life you possibly can with a healthy lifestyle and a robust mindset.

A healthy mindset is not what initially comes to mind when “self-help” is mentioned though. It brings to mind anxiety and depression as these are the leading mental disorders. At its core, self-help is self-improvement. It is the various ways we can grow mentally and spiritually. While you’ll find books and courses on helping curb anxiety and depression, you’ll also find ones on affirmations and on laws of attraction as featured on our post on spiritual affiliate programs, and on how to gain self-confidence like these self-esteem affiliate programs. There are even products on time management to help us be more productive individuals. Hence, time management affiliate programs. Yoga is also part of the self-help niche as it is not so much as a weight loss journey as it is a spiritual one as I found out when I did my research on yoga affiliate programs.

Dating and Relationships

We go from one mental disorder to another: Love. As the great philosopher Plato said: Love is a serious mental disease.

And it affects all of us.

This is yet another Life lesson that 2020 dished out: we, as humans, are wired to want to be with others of our kind.

While you may not be suffering from anxiety or depression,  you can be one of the many who are suffering from a break up, divorce, or rejection from someone you are seriously crushing on. Thus, the dating and relationship niche continues, and will continue to be one of the biggest niches in affiliate marketing.

Online dating has evolved to be a worldwide phenomenon and a million-dollar industry with earnings of over US$912 million. It is a fast-growing industry with over 1,500 dating apps or websites competing to help you find “the One”.

Once you get “the One”, the game shifts to making sure “the One” stays and so there are books upon books on relationships, on how to make him or her happy, how to satisfy, to have and to keep.

And when love has run its course, we have courses and books on how to get over “the One”, to get over divorce and to start dating again. Or… you could try and get your ex back. There are books and online courses to guide you in getting back together with an ex.

It can be vicious; this cycle of loving and losing, but that is love. And love as a business is a tale as old as time. Back then, matchmakers were hired (old school dating apps/websites), and marriages were contracted. Nothing much has changed. We still go to a matchmaker and marriage is still a contract.

This niche is huge and evergreen enough that we have featured several of its sub-niches: dating sites affiliate programs, dating advice affiliate programs and get your ex back affiliate programs.

  • Digital Romance

    A collection of different dating and relationship products you can promote on your website

    Commission: 75%

Travel and Tourism

“Where do broken hearts go?” the great diva Whitney Houston once asked.

Well, in this day and age of seatsales and AirBnBs… anywhere.

And while the Covid-19 pandemic has clearly put a damper on the travel and tourism industry causing lockdowns in major cities resulting in massive flight cancellations and loss revenue, the industry is slowly getting back up again as all of us adapt to the “new normal” this 2021.

Technology has helped propel the travel and tourism industry into one of the strongest industries with an economic contribution of over US$9.2 trillion. Plane tickets can now be booked online, including hotel rooms, even entire vacations, all within a few clicks on your computer or swipes on your mobile phone.

The travel and tourism industry is a giant umbrella of related industries all offering services: hotel, rentals, airlines. Your typical modes of transportation like buses and trains are all part of it too. We’ve covered airline affiliate programs and cruise affiliate programs. As sure as there are plenty of places to see, there are plenty more affiliate programs to look into in the travel niche:

  • Agoda

    A popular hotel booking site featuring hundreds of hotel properties spread across different countries

    Commission: 5%

    Sign-up

  • AirBNB

    Yes, they do have an affiliate program. They actually have two, the affiliate program and the referral program. I’d recommend the affiliate program but the requirements are a bit steep (1million monthly visits). Their referral program will give you up to US$95 for each user that signs up to their service.

    Commission: 25% to 40%

Beauty and Skincare

I should have named the niche “cosmetics” as that is its appropriate name. But “beauty” and “skincare” sound better, and are more familiar words than “cosmetics”.

This niche covers makeup, fragrance, lotion… anything you put on your face and body to make you look your best is in this niche. Even the grooming that goes into your appearance: hair salons, waxing salons, spas, barber shops. They are all part and parcel of the beauty industry.

This niche has grown since we covered beauty affiliate programs, and as with all other industries, suffered losses in 2020. Still, estimates show that this industry earned US$93 billion in the US alone. Globally, this industry is predicted to reach a value of US$438 billion by the year 2026.

We also did a post on anti-aging affiliate programs, and there is still plenty more ground to cover in this niche, like the proverbial get rid of acne sub-niche.

  • Juice Beauty

    All-organic skin and makeup line

    Commission: 6%

Fashion

As Miranda Priestly scathingly said to Andy in The Devil Wears Prada: “However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.”

Like Andy, we might think that all clothes are the same; just pieces of cloth to cover our backs. We might scoff at shopaholics who go into debt buying shirt after shirt. But at the end of the day, we buy clothes still because we have to. It is a basic need that even Maslow himself recognized.

The fashion industry has been around for as long as the beauty industry has been, maybe even longer. Worldwide, the fashion industry earned US$718 million, with apparel as its largest segment. Clothing is not just clothing as there are different sub-niches you can go into, like plus-size clothing affiliate programs and organic clothing affiliate programs.

Fashion is from head-to-toe. It’s not all in the clothes, but the bags, shoes and accessories that help you be your own fashion icon. We did a number on jewelry affiliate programs, but have yet to touch on bags and shoes.

Children

There is no such niche as a “children niche” but there are several niches that cater to their needs: baby food, toys, clothing, books, and baby products like carriers, cribs, beddings, etc. There are even fertility affiliate programs to help you have your own little version of yourself.

We’ve featured toy affiliate programs  and toy collectible affiliate programs, but there are still

more affiliate programs to promote with children and their parents as target market like parenting advice affiliate programs.

Food

Comedienne Dulce Sloan started one of her jokes with “I was at the grocery store the other day buying food… cause I’m a human.” explains this entire niche. Food, as a niche, as an industry, is evergreen in that, as Dulce and my mother put it: we’re humans and we need to eat. In fact, we have evolved to not just need it but want it too.

If your own consumption and the vast and varied fast food joints and restaurants within your reach have not convinced you how lucrative this niche is, then let the numbers speak for themselves. This industry remained strong despite the pandemic, with earnings estimated to reach US$276 million by 2021. Annual fast food revenue in the US alone is valued at US$239 billion last year.

We featured several Niche of the Week posts related to, or about, food: cooking affiliate programs, baking affiliate programswine affiliate programs, and coffee. We even published one on  food crisis affiliate programs.

The affiliate programs you’ll find in this niche are as varied as your daily food options.

Making Money

Like children, there is no “make money industry”, but there is such a niche and it is made up of different niches that help you make money online. There are courses on dropshipping, affiliate marketing, internet marketing and the like that you can promote. Web hosting companies and domain registers have affiliate programs too, and you can include them in your product lists because most of the “make money online” methods require having your own website.

I do not have statistics to show as this niche is not one big industry as the other niches I’ve mentioned, but if you do a quick check on Affilotools, Traffic Travis or Google Trends, you’ll see the “make money online” keyword has high search numbers and equally high competition.

We’ve featured shopping cart affiliate programs for those who are into eCommerce. We also did one on SEO affiliate programs since SEO plays an important role in getting organic traffic.Below are a few more courses and tools you may recommend to those who want to make money online.

Pets

Whenever my kids would ask for a baby brother, I would jokingly reply “I’ll get you a dog instead.” To my mind that is a cheaper, definitely pain-free, way of adding another member to our family.

One that I do not have to send to college.

We eventually did get a dog. A cute male apricot-colored toy poodle. He is adorable, active, loyal. And boy, is he expensive! Monthly grooming, routine check ups, vaccines, food and accessories. Pets are a great addition to the family, but they add up to the family expenses too.

Despite the added cost they bring, the pet industry is on the rise. Its revenue reached US$99 billion in the US alone last year, and it is expected to climb up to US$358 billion by 2027. This industry is probably one of the few industries that not only remained stable during the pandemic, but even earned more.

Your eyes must be bugging out by now as mine are. Or not, if you skipped to read only the information you need. Kudos and big thanks if you didn’t and read through!

Now that you are aware of how many niches there are, the next question is: Which one do I pick? Which niche do I go to?

I say go with the one that you have a natural interest in. If anything, this compendium of affiliate marketing programs show that there is an affiliate program to cover whatever your natural interests are. Going with what you are interested in will make it much easier for you to invest time and energy into your website.

Remember what they say about doing what you are passionate about will ensure that you do not work a day in your life? That applies in affiliate marketing too. It’ll be easier to read, learn and write (if you have to) about things that you are interested in versus doing it for the sake of money. You can argue that is enough motivation, but that doesn’t last long. There are plenty of challenges in getting your affiliate marketing website off the ground. Working on something that you care about will make it worthwhile.

And with that, let’s do what Mark Ling always says to do at the end of his lessons: Take action!
