Discovering The Best Niche Product To Sell

Finding the right product to promote is the key to affiliate marketing success.  There are millions of affiliate marketing products out there, but only a few can make you money.  Some products are terrible and don’t work as promised.  Another product might be very good, but its landing page is bad so it is not making any sales.  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 wants to buy?

To find our product, we are going to look at the Clickbank network.  Although there are several excellent affiliate networks out there, Clickbank is one of the best for those starting out.  They have an enormous selection of affiliate marketing products to sell, they always send your checks 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 immediately.

Your first step when deciding on a product to promote, is to think about a niche.  The best way to do this is to brainstorm on a piece of paper five or ten topics you think you would enjoy learning about.  When promoting 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, go login to your Clickbank account and visit the Marketplace section.  Clickbank has its products separated into categories, so select an appropriate category and do a search for each of your topics.  In the 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 score.  Gravity basically shows you how many affiliates have made sales with this product recently. If many people are making sales with this product then you should have no problems promoting this product as well.  As a rule of thumb, 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 promote 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 metrics mentioned above, write down a list of products that meet these criteria.  Now pick the one that you would be most interested in learning about and promoting.  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.  The next step is to join a site like PPC Kahuna and learn from some affiliate marketing experts on how to setup your sites and promote them effectively.
