Where to Find Products to Promote

There are so many different products for you to choose from to promote as an affiliate marketer. It's important to choose wisely because choosing the right product can make you more money. At the same time, there is no crystal ball that will tell you exactly how much money you can earn if you choose a certain product.

That's why a lot of affiliate marketing is trial and error. You might think a particular product will be a runaway hit ... but it may not turn out that way at all. While other products that you think would be useless, sell like gangbusters. That's half the fun. And as you become more experienced with affiliate marketing, you will begin to learn what works and what does not work ... almost instinctively.

What Niche to choose

Your niche is the first consideration in choosing a product. Your niche will determine what kind of products you should be looking to promote.

Some niches lend themselves better to the physical product. You may do a lot better to promote products from sites such as Amazon.com and Walmart.com and CJ.com than you would a digital product.

In other niches, digital products are the way to go. Your niche may respond well to the info of product marketing, for example.

What Does Your Audience Really Want

As usual, your customers must be at the top of your mind. While you do not directly create a product you will be promoting, you must make sure there is a message to match the market as an affiliate.

This means immersing yourself in your niche. Join people on blogs, social media, forums, and so on. Figure out what people need and want so that you can promote the right thing.

What Are People Buying

One of the best things you can do for yourself as an affiliate is to find out what people are buying in droves in your niche. There certainly will be ebbs and flows to what people are buying in your niche.

What is hot right now? If there is something super-hot and flying off the shelves, then you will want a piece of that as an affiliate. You also want to promote that super-hot item or you will want to promote something that is directly related to it. Consider what`s Evergreen. There are certain products out there that will always sell well among the people in your niche as they are always what people need.

Scout Affiliate Network

One thing you can do to find a good product to promote as an affiliate is to scout affiliate networks. You can go to Amazon.com and see what kind of products that are sold there, for example. You can become an Amazon associate and promote what is on the Amazon site.

You can also go to an affiliate network such as CJ.com or ShareASale.com. Many large companies join these sites and you can promote their products and services and earn huge commissions for it.

If you plan to promote digital products, then go to sites like JVZoo.com, ClickBank.com, Nanacast.com, and WarriorPlus.com

Depending on your niche, you can find digital products, some absolutely fantastic digital products that will convert very well for you.

Do Some Google Search

Another thing you can do to find affiliate products to promote is to do a simple Google search. You can often find products to promote which are less competitive. Not many people think to do a search like this - they all head straight to the affiliate network and do not think to do anything else.

Doing a search for "your niche join as an affiliate" and other such searches. Try different variations until you find some big hits.

There are companies out there that run their own affiliate programs and register them with the typical affiliate network. Again, that could mean less competition for you. And it does not mean that these programs and the products will work less for you.

Make sure that you always focus on leading companies that you know will pay you and that you are pretty sure they will convert for you.

One of the best things you can do, especially if you are promoting digital products, is to get to know the companies, brands, and marketers who create the products you will be promoting.

When you develop a relationship with them, you may get special offers on affiliate commissions - they may even provide a higher pay rate because you have a relationship. This certainly can give you a leg up.

In some cases, they may let you promote before everyone else. It can definitely give you an advantage over other people who will promote later. People will see your promotion first and more likely to buy from you and not from someone else.

Try Different Affiliate Promotion

Remember that you will be promoting a range of products over a period of time. That means you should always be on the lookout for great products you can promote.

Coming up with promotions that are complementary. If people buy one thing they might be interested in other things as well as they are a natural fit.

Stick with companies that will pay you

When you are looking for different products to promote, remember that if something seems too good to be true, it just might be. You only want to promote products that you know are reputable. And that people who buy from your link are happy.

You also want to make sure that you will get paid. There is, unfortunately, less than honest companies out there that will be happy to provide affiliate links but have no intention of paying you. Again, make sure that the company you promote has a solid reputation.

Start Finding Your Next Promotion

Now it's time for you to start looking for the next promotion. There are products out there that you can make big money with.

Try affiliate networks like CJ.com and ShareASale.com. Try Nanacast.com, WarriorPlus.com ClickBank.com, and JVZoo.com.

Trying to do some Google searches to find great affiliate products in your niche that others might not always find – that`s less competition for you.
