August 2007 sees the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. His estate has made so many more millions in the 30 years since his death than he ever did when he was alive, and there is no reason why you can't cash in yourself...

Let's not forget that Elvis did make a multi million pound fortune in his career, but a mixture of dodgy management deals, a prodigious spending habit and a drug addled lifestyle meant that by the time he keeled over in his bathroom in 1977, he was fast heading to bankruptcy.

His ex-wife took over the reins eventually of the estate, and used the cultural impact the man had made to turn the Elvis brand into a huge money maker - we're talking hundreds of millions.

With the rise of the internet and modern technology, there is no reason why you can't use the same brand to make money, and here's how...

It's all about niche marketing.

Niche marketing means that you focus your efforts on tightly focused markets. The markets may be smaller, but because you know exactly what the market is interested in, you are able to quickly and easily give them exactly what they want.

It means you don't waste any of your marketing efforts. Using Elvis as an example, you can be an affiliate for all sorts of products. You send web traffic to sites that sell Elvis products, and if the customer buys, the software tracks it as referred by you, and you get a commission.

There is one particular poster site that has affiliates earning 5 figures per month! The Elvis market is great for posters, as you can imagine. A great plus for this model is that you don't even need a website of your own - fantastic!

Let's bring in the niche idea again, and if you want to promote posters, you wouldn't want to try and promote just posters in general - there are too many choices, so who would you promote to? With Elvis pictures, you identify and promote only to the Elvis market, and get a much better return for your marketing efforts.

So, use the power of niche marketing, and Elvis can earn you some good money!
