3 Top Tips For Choosing An Affiliate Product

Affiliate marketing is an easy way of getting started with an online business. You don’t need your own products, just market someone else’s for them. But, when you’re ready to start affiliate marketing, what’s the best to go about choosing an affiliate product that’s right for you?

Here’s my three top tips, to help you narrow your choice and focus on the perfect product…..

1.   Choose a product that you’re interested in.

Choosing an affiliate product that you’re interested in, or at least familiar with, will pay enormous dividends. It will help keep you more interested in your marketing and make sure that you’re connected with the product when writing your promotional material.

If you are posting regular blogs and articles to get sales traffic, writing about something that you have an interest in, or a familiarity with, makes it so much easier to do on a regular basis. Whereas, making up posts about something you don’t know about, will soon become a chore.

2.   Check The Commission Rates

Your objective in starting affiliate marketing is more than selling products, what you really want is to make a profit. So, when choosing an affiliate product, the commission rates are obviously important.

When you’ve decided on some areas that interest you, the next step, is to compare different offers in those areas and identify the higher value products and their commission rates.

Generally, the higher the product value, the more commission you’ll make, but evaluating the commission rates and overall profit for each affiliate product, is something you’ll learn by experience. Check out offers on Clickbank.com and get familiar with their sales statistics before choosing an affiliate product.

Another fact to consider here is that you may find some very good commission rates for products that don’t really appeal to you. This is where choosing an affiliate product that you are interested in, will help to ensure that it fits with your own personal ethics.

3.   Choose A Saleable product

By a saleable product, I mean one that will be popular, one that people actually want and can afford.

You can also help to make sales easier, by choosing an affiliate product that is unique or easily recognizable to customers. For example by having a brand name or trademark.

Having a product with some unique quality in this way, will make the search engine optimization easier and result in more focused traffic, specific to your product.

So, if you’re ready to start choosing an affiliate product, the best way to get going, is to check out Clickbank.com and see what’s on offer!
