Finding Affiliate Products to Promote
Today I’ll be talking about finding affiliate products to promote. If you’re not familiar with affiliate marketing- it’s a way for companies to sell their products by partnering with individuals or other businesses who will promote the products for them.
They can put links to the sales page on their website or on their social media sites and when someone clicks on a link and makes a purchase, the affiliate earns a commission. Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and easiest ways for you to begin making money online as an entrepreneur. There are many different products that you can promote, however, digital products are usually the most profitable.
First, I’ll talk about selling digital affiliate products that you can promote to maximize your profits and then I’ll discuss physical products.
Digital products are things like eBooks, short reports, downloadable tools, printables, PLR content packages, and more. If you’re in the Internet marketing niche, there are many different digital products that you can promote, as well as tangible ones.
Almost every niche has digital products that you can promote. You want to find the best ones that’ll suit the needs of your target audience. As an Internet marketer, you probably know which tools you want to recommend, for example, which e-mail autoresponder system do you use or which hosting company is your favorite?
But if you’re promoting in a niche which you have not purchased very many digital products in, you may have to conduct some research in the marketplace to find out which products are available and will be a good fit for your audience.
Many times, what is at the top of the bestseller list on a platform is not necessarily the best for your buyers. In order to maintain your integrity as a competitive affiliate, you only want to recommend quality products that’ll perform well for your buyers.
Not only do you want to research the quality of the product itself, but you also want to look at the background and reputation of the vendor, the one who’s selling it. You don’t want to send your subscribers and readers to anyone who’s dishonest or who engages in distasteful marketing practices.
Don’t just look at the commissions that you’ll receive from a promotion of a product, but look at the sales page to see if the quality of the product will live up to the hype. Check out the reviews. Make sure you pay attention to what people are saying about the product.
Whenever you have a chance, purchase the product yourself or arrange to receive a review copy so that you can look through it and make sure it’s a good fit for your prospective buyers.
If you are in the Internet marketing niche, there are many different digital products that you can promote and fewer tangible ones. Let’s talk about how to find affiliate products to promote that are tangible.
One idea is to promote the tools that people need to get their own businesses started. This would include things like a domain, a hosting account, a page builder, plugins and themes for their website, tools to help them do keyword research or private label rights bundles, etc.
As you can see, finding affiliate products to promote isn’t hard. Here are some more examples. Let’s say that you’re in the weight loss niche, it makes sense to add a weight scale to that list as well as higher ticket items such as a treadmill or other exercise machine. You may even consider food scales to help people weigh and measure their meals. After you think of everything off the top of your head, you can go to a marketplace where items are sold type in your niche keyword, and see what people are looking for. If you were to go to Amazon, for example, you could type in the phrase weight loss.
The results that pop up would tell you that shoppers are looking to buy weight loss pills for women, weight loss supplements, weight loss tea, weight loss pills for men, weight loss shakes, and weight loss journals. You could even go to a specific category to see what people were most interested in. If you go to the bestsellers categories on Amazon, and you know that you want to promote some sort of exercise equipment or product, you could look to see what items are in the top 100 list.
You’ll find things like dumbbells, fitness trackers, resistance bands, yoga mats, jump ropes, and other items. But what if you want to promote a more expensive item?
If you click on cardio training, you will be able to see that stair steppers, treadmills, and rowing machines are some of the most popular items. You can look on the platforms themselves to see what kind of things people are buying, and you can do your own keyword research, too.
