Key Ingredients To Finding Profitable Affiliate Products

By Ron Cripps

Why do we go through the hassle of promoting affiliate products? What is that reason? To make money, of course! But how do you know if the products you are promoting are going to reward you financially for your efforts? You must use the right marketing methods and the correct choice of product. We will help you determine which products to promote by looking at a number of factors.

For each affiliate product, consider the revenue you receive. Consider promoting an affiliate product that can give you , $100 or more per sale instead of just $10 per sale. Often much harder to promote, high paying products require you to do a decent amount of research and really get to know your product and your niche. I'd much sooner spend all day chasing just one $100 sale than twenty $5 sales.

You should also check the affiliate products you are already promoting. Each day, some sales are being brought in by a particular niche product on Clickbank, you really need to be aware of this. Check Clickbank regularly to see if there are any similar niche products that have a higher payout per sale and if so, edit the links on your landing page to the new product. It requires very little effort (just the changing of a few links) to increase your weekly income quickly and simply, if you use landing pages for your affiliate marketing.

If you are using Clickbank, you should also think about the Clickbank Gravity of the product. This is an indicator which shows whether other affiliates are successfully making sales of a particular product - therefore showing that the product is popular and the kind of thing people are buying. Don't dismiss a product just because it is low gravity, it might just be because the product is new. As there is no previous track record to go by, promoting low-gravity products could be a gamble.

Offering recurring-payment type products may be preferable to one-off payments. Promoting this type of product means that you get automated recurring sales each month. It can be a great long-term money earner and this type of payment setup is usually used with subscription-based services or websites. The key to a successful affiliate marketing career is knowledge, and, armed with this you now have a better chance at choosing the right affiliate product to promote.
