how to choose an affiliate product to promote

If you have browsed in places like Warriorplus and Clickbank, you will know there’s a lot of products out there. It’s easy to get an affiliate link in Clickbank. Although with Warriorplus you need to request approval from each individual vendor.

But which one do you choose to promote? That is the million dollar question. Some products out there might hurt your reputation, if honesty is important to you. Other products have the potential to quite literally earn you a million dollars. But how do you distinguish between the two?

What is the bottom line with affiliate marketing? The bottom line is, the vendors have created a product. You as the affiliate get paid a commission as long as you sell their product. If you sell nothing, you earn nothing. And neither does the product creator.

That means bad news for you as the affiliate. But not bad news for the product creator, as he or she then moves on to the next affiliate, to see if a profit can be made.

How do you choose which product is best for you to promote?

It really depends on what niche you are in. If you haven’t chosen a niche yet, then you need to go back a step. Choosing a niche comes before choosing a product. In some niches the customers would expect to have a physical product delivered and tracked all the way from order to delivery.

If that turns out to be your case, then your search for good affiliate products might begin at Amazon. It’s fairly easy to become an Amazon Associate. The commissions aren’t very big though. Or you could look at cj.com.

In other niches the customers will expect to receive their product immediately in the form of a digital download. These are the most profitable niches. The reason for that is there is no manufacturing involved. The product was not made in a factory, or produced in a sweatshop in India.

There were no wages to pay. A digital product doesn’t take much more to produce, than it costs you to write your name down on a piece of paper. If you’re more inclined towards bigger profits then digital is the way to go. You will want to look for products on the likes of Clickbank, Warriorplus, and Jvzoo. Those are the biggest players that come to mind. But there are other platforms too where you can source affiliate products to promote. You’ve just gotta keep your ear to the ground. Always be on the lookout for good products.

I found out how to find products on Warriorplus in this review blog: https://onlineturboprofits.com/warrior-plus-review/ You need to know your customer before you source any affiliate products to promote. You need to know who they are. What their likes and dislikes are. What problems they are encountering. Why do you need to know all these things? Well although you’re not the product creator. You still need to know what the customer needs, so that you will know what to sell them.

Only when you know what your customer needs, will you know the right product to sell them. If you try to sell something to people that they neither need nor want, you will sell nothing. If you try to sell something that solves a problem they don’t have, or have never heard of, you will sell zero products. You need to know what your customer needs, then sell them an appropriate product.

How do you find out this valuable information? You do a bit of research. People tend to talk about what’s most dearest to them. When they need something they will reach out. Where? Everywhere on the internet. On Forums, in blog posts you will see comments. In Facebook groups.

Join them. Be a fly on the wall. See what people are looking for. What they are interested in. What is popular. That will give you a much better idea of what products to choose.

Another way to find products to promote is to go on Google. You will find products deep in there that are not so much in the public eye. You might find products that will give people a better deal. Most affiliates are lazy. They can’t be bothered researching. They are also greedy. They just want to promote the highest paying product to anyone and everyone.

But because they never researched, they usually end up with nothing. If you do a bit of research, you will be ahead of most people.

You will also find products not listed in the big affiliate directories. Some product owners have their own private affiliate program. If you become an affiliate for them you might stand a better chance of success. Because they are lesser known, they might not have a lot of affiliates. So you won’t be competing with the masses.

Hope this helps. And good luck.

First Two Weeks on Affiliate Marketing | What I've done right and wrong?

Before I start everything, my two major questions are:

1. Which “niche” should I choose?

2. Can I start free? Or, how to actually start in a “right” way?

Here comes my answer after detailed research.

I understand a “niche” as a series of products or services that solves problems for a group of target audience. Also, a relating topic that I enjoy learning, researching and create content around it.

To make money online is an ever green topic. There are lots of small business owners who would like to create a website for content marketing. Also, individuals like me who want to find a cost-free way to do affiliate marketing, having no prior experience to online business, nor any technical knowledge. Simutanously, web hosting services and other companies that provides auxiliary tools offer affiliate programs in relatively high conversion, some even recurring. Therefore, my “niche” is decided. It’s around web hosting for first-time website owners. Tons of blog post are revieving on those tools and services, but rare of them review on a stand point of total beginners. Some possible problems when using them and hidden fees are concealed. So, here’s where I can start.

Also, I want to have a total ownership of my blogging space, with good security, an easy migration if I change the platform, with good support for beginners, and the lowest cost with integration of optimizing tools. The process of configuration can be my inspiration for content.

What I’ve done right?

- Built my website on WordPress.org with Hostinger (though Bluehost is also beginner friendly, it is the most money saving choice with great service, below $40per year), using the free version of Elementor page builder.

- Posted my first article and tried a little bit on drving traffic from Quora.

Now I have clarification on what to do next.

What I’ve done wrong?

-Neglected the user-friendliness of my website.

-Not well set the structure of my website initially.

-Haven’t leant enough about google SEO.

The current status of my website:

Google analytics shows that I’ve got 23 unique visitors and 117 total views(till 3 May, from 24April, when my website first launched). But none of the views are from organic search. Most visitors and views come from direct link, which probably are those who examine the eligibility to my affiliate programs application.

3 visitors are from organic search, likely to be from Quora I guest (with 120 answer views on Quora)

But mistakes are unavoidable and will be the path to success, right? Next, I’m going to optimize my website’s user experience and continue writing articles, probably would be the best, proven working, everything-covered and detailed guides on building your first blog site for monetization.
