Choosing the right affiliate products is the key to affiliate marketing success.



If you don't choose the right affiliate product, these things will happen:

  • You will be hated by your audience
  • You will not make enough sales
  • You will make less money.
  • Your conversion rate will drop
  • You will overall fail.
You can either find products from affiliate networks like Impact affiliate, CJ(Commission Junction) or shareasale.

These affiliate networks have a variety of products and you need to start filtering through them.

You can also use individual affiliate programs like bluehost, SEMrush etc. These are usually softwares.

Now let's get into the main stuff.

How to choose affiliate products to promote.

1. They should have a good sales page.

The website that you are promoting should have a lot of text an information about the product in it. It preferably can also have videos. If it also has social proof, then it is great.

It should not look too pushy and should convert well.
Think that you are like the normal consumer and you visit that page, will you buy from it. Or will you think that it is a scam or not good enough.

2. Use it

If you are promoting a product, then use it. This will help you to understand more about the product. Know the ins and outs of the product.

If any of your audience contacts you regarding the product, you should be able to answer them.

Using it will also help you know if it's legit.

You can also give screenshots of you using the product which help you build trust with your readers and make you seem credible.

3. It should be legit

Make sure that your product is legit and not a scam.

Using the product will help you understand.

If you are not able to use the product or buy it for some reason, then here are a few things that you can do.

Read reviews online on websites like trustpilot.

Also watch review youtube videos.

4. Brand name and value.

Think about it. If there is the same product with the same price on amazon and Geozon( think of it as an imaginary new ecommerce website).

Where would you buy it from. Obviously, amazon.

So bran name and value matters. Promote products by big brands and reputated companies like amazon or SEMrush or bluehost.

Basically promote market leaders.

This will help you to increase your conversion rate by a ton.

5.  Niche

You need to promote affiliate products of your niche. You can't be selling a course on how to make money online to a health and fitness audience. It just won't sell.

Your conversion rates will crash.

If you see a great affiliate offer and it's conversion rate is through the roof and commission rates are very high but it is not in your niche, don't promote it.

I have seen a few people fall into this and their earnings have crashed. Don't fall into this trap like a few others.

6. Price

Make sure that the product that you are promoting is not really cheap.

If it is so cheap, you will get very less commissions and you will have to get a lot of people to purchase to make any reasonable amount of money.

I suggest that you promote products of all sorts of prices to your audience so that different people who have different amounts of money can purchase. 

Make sure that your commission rates are not very low like amazon. I just hate their affiliate program for that.

7. Recurring products

These are the best type of products to promote. They pay you on a monthly or recurring basis. This is pure passive income.

You can earn a lot of money with these type of products.

Think that your product pays you 50 dollars every month. You are able to build 10 clients in the first month. You are now earning 500 dollars every month with this product.

If you continue to build 10 clients a month till the next year. Then you will be making 6000 dollars a month. You can keep building this up evry month.

8. High conversion rates.

Make sure that the product that you are promoting has a very high conversion rate. Like bluehost has 5% conversion rates if you are promoting it to your target audience. Therefore, I get 100 clicks to my affiliate link, I will get 5 sales.

This is great. It means that out of every 100 clicks i get, i will make 325 dollars on an average.

9. Target audience

Promoting your product to your target audience is key. Your target audience are the people who are interested in that niche.

If you are promoting a dating product, you target audience are people who are 18-24 years old and interested in dating.

It is important to promote your products only to people who are your target audience. Just think about who they are.

10. Customer support

It is important that your vendor has good customer support.
This makes the customer satisfied and happy.

Have you ever seen the customer support of amazon. If you contact the customer support, you will get a call from them in seconds.

This will let your customer solve their problems.

Conclusion:

It really is easy to pick a good product if you follow the right methods.
It is just about loving the product yourself.
