How
To Find Products To
Promote As An Affiliate
In order
to create a profitable campaign you need to find products
that you can promote as an affiliate which have little competition
with excellent conversion rates and sufficient demand to
ensure that you have the best chance of success.
Many
popular products on the internet will have their own affiliate
program using an affiliate management script so if you want
to promote these products you need to join each one individually
to get your referral links. The main advantage of this is
that you will have far less competition but you will not
know how well they are performing.
One
of the reasons why affiliate networks like Click Bank have
become so popular is because they provide detailed statistics
about each product that uses their service which enables
affiliates to clearly identify which ones are profitable
and which are not. The only disadvantage is that the best
products will have a huge amount of competition.
On each
page of the Click Bank marketplace the products are ranked
by popularity with the most popular products at the top
and the least popular products at the bottom. The current
statistics are also shown for the most recent pay period
(which covers the previous 16 days).
Click
Bank displays the following payout stats for each product:
$earned/sale:
The average amount of money earned per sale. This is the
average commission you will earn per sale after refunds
have been deducted from the total amount.
%earned/sale:
The percentage commission you earn per sale. If the product
is selling for $47 and you earn 75% as an affiliate you
would get $35.25 commission per sale.
%referred:
The percentage of sales generated by affiliates. If 87%
of the total sales were generated by affiliates the remaining
13% were generated by the vendor.
gravity:
The number of affiliates promoting the product. The more
affiliates that are promoting the product, the greater the
competition you will have.
Its
best to choose a product that has at least 20 affiliates
promoting it and over 50% of sales generated by them so
that you know its selling well. If the average amount earned
is much lower than the commission it means the product has
a high refund rate which is a bad sign so don't promote
it.
If you
intend to promote products using pay per click advertising
you will need to find out how many competitors you will
have by searching for relevant keywords in the search engine.
Many products will have multiple pay per click ads from
many affiliates and it will be very hard to generate sales.
For
best results you need to search for products which target
small niche markets as you will have the best chance of
creating a profitable campaign because they will have less
competition. If you find that a product has no affiliates
promoting it using pay per click advertising it may be that
its not very profitable so some competition can be a good
sign.
To beat
your competitors you can create a custom landing page for
the product and offer some exclusive bonuses such as a rebate,
a training video, or related ebooks. Its all about standing
out from the crowd and offering extra incentives that make
you different from everyone else.
If you
intend to promote products using your own opt in list you
will not be paying for the traffic so the amount of competition
is less important. Although many of your subscribers will
be on multiple lists and may have already purchased the
product it doesn't cost you anything to send a recommendation
so any sales you make will be pure profit.
If
you are looking for products to sell on your own
website and keep all of the profits you should check

label rights firesale package which

selling immediately.
