How To Pick The Right Product To Promote

Picking the right product to promote is the key to affiliate marketing success. There are millions of affiliate marketing products out there, but not all of them will make you money. Some products are horrible and don’t work right at all. Another product might be great, but its landing page is bad so nobody is buying it. To make money as an affiliate marketing, you need to find a product that’s proven to make money for its affiliates. Why sell something that nobody is buying?

To find that right product to promote, we’re going to use the Clickbank affiliate network. Although there are several excellent affiliate networks out there, Clickbank is one of the best for beginners. They have an enormous selection of affiliate marketing products to sell, they always pay out on time, and it is easy to get accepted into the network. Unlike other affiliate networks that require you to apply to promote a certain offer, Clickbank lets you promote every offer on their network right away.

The first thing to do when deciding on a product to promote, is to decide a niche. The best way to do this is to brainstorm and write down five or ten niches you think you would be interested in. When creating your site around a product, you will be spending a lot of time with it, so make sure the topics are something you can have fun with.

Once you have your topics, go login to your Clickbank account and visit the Marketplace section. Clickbank has its products separated into categories, so select an appropriate category and perform a search for each of your topics. In the search results, you will get a list of products that Clickbank sells that best match your search term. Below each product description, you will see a number of different metrics.

The most important thing to look at, is the gravity. Gravity basically shows you how many affiliates have made sales with this product recently. If many people are making sales with this product then this says you can probably do well selling this product as well. Usually I try and pick a product with a gravity score over 40. The other metric to look at is the dollars per sale. If you are going to use pay per click marketing to drive traffic to your product, then pick a payout greater than $25 per sale. This allows you to cover your advertising expenses and still make a decent profit.

Using the two criteria talked about above, write down a list of products that satisfy these criteria. Now pick the one that you would be most interested in researching about and selling. You already recognize that other affiliates are doing well with these products, so the key here is picking the product that will keep your interest so you can promote it successfully. This is the first step to becoming a successful affiliate marketer.
