Picking The Best Affiliate Product To Promote Online

Choosing the right product to promote is essential to succeed with affiliate marketing. There are thousands of affiliate marketing products out there, but not all of them will make you money. Some products are horrible and don’t work as promised. Another product might be fantastic, but its landing page leaves something to desired so visitors are scared away. To succeed with affiliate marketing, you need to find a product that’s proven to make money for its affiliates. Why promote something that nobody is buying?

To find our product, we are going to look at the Clickbank network. While there are many good affiliate networks out there, Clickbank is one of the best for beginners. They have a large 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 specific offers, Clickbank lets you promote every offer on their network right away.

Your first step when deciding on a product to promote, is to decide a niche. The best way to do this is to brainstorm on a piece of paper 5-10 niches you think you would be interested in. When creating your site around a product, you will be doing a lot of research and writing about it, so make sure the topics you write down aren’t something that will bore you to death.

Once you have everything written down, visit the Marketplace section in your Clickbank account. Clickbank has its products divided into categories, so select an appropriate category and perform a search for each of the topics you have written down earlier. In the search results, you will see a list of products that Clickbank sells that best match your search term. Below each product description, you will see a list of different metrics.

The key 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 35. The other thing to look at is the dollars per sale. If you are going to use PPC marketing to drive traffic to your product, then pick a payout greater than $25 per sale. By choosing a high enough payout, you can cover any advertising expenses and make a good profit.

Using the two criteria mentioned above, note down a list of products that meet these criteria. Now pick the product that you would be most interested in learning about and selling. You already know 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.
