Where Are the Best Affiliate Products to Promote?
If you’re one of the many who’ve chosen to jump onto the affiliate marketing
bandwagon, you’ve made a wise decision. The Internet is constantly growing
with no sign of an expansion slow down anywhere in sight.
One of the most commonly asked questions about affiliate marketing is,
“Where do I go to find the best affiliate products to promote?” You want to
promote products that are sold through a secure billing environment.
You’re looking for a good return on your investment of time (and sometimes
money), so commission percentages are important, as is the price of the
product itself. Some sites that offer tangible goods, such as Amazon,
require you to work harder for the money you earn because the price of the
products is low to begin with. Compare a $14.95 paperback book to a $49.95
digital eBook – which one do you want a 50% share for promoting?
One of the most important things as an affiliate is to build a list. So
regardless of what site you use to find products to promote, you want to
make sure you feel comfortable recommending it so that you don’t tarnish
your reputation.
Many affiliates start out promoting ClickBank products. They have a database
with thousands of products you can choose to push in any niche. Plus, the
commissions are generally between 50-75%, with a higher price tag.
But why you would limit yourself to only one network, when there are many
you can use to generate a flood of sales from? LinkShare, PayDotCom and
Commission Junction all work with the same basic concept as ClickBank does,
but each one operates slightly different.
At PayDotCom, for example, it’s up to the product owner to pay the
affiliates, whereas ClickBank pays all affiliates directly. Some sites, like
Commission Junction, give product owners the ability to pre-approve
affiliates, while they have no control over who sells what at ClickBank.
They each have their own network of top-notch advertisers.
As an affiliate marketer, you’ll want to try each system out and see what
you like about each one. If you’re blogging about the travel niche, for
instance, then you might recommend luggage from a Commission Junction
advertiser you promote, an eBook on how to speak a foreign language from
ClickBank, and an entire travel package from someone advertising on
LinkShare.
Using a combination of affiliate networks allows you more flexibility in how
you make money from these sites. As your affiliate marketing skills improve,
you’ll find some you prefer over others and weed out those that don’t cater
to your personal preferences and needs.
