Choosing The Right Affiliate Products

When choosing the right affiliate products for your make money online method it’s important you work with product owners who are professional, but it’s more important that you’re offering your buyers quality for their money.

Here are some things to remember when choosing your affiliate products:

Affiliate Commission Rate

Most new affiliate marketers immediately jump into the affiliate programs offering 75% commission pay out rates. Logically these look like the products that will make you the most money, right?

Not always. If you consider that 75% of a $5 sale is not very much money, but 20% of a $1,000 sale is going to be much more profitable!

You need to know exactly how much your end dollar figure per sale is going to be. When you’re researching potential affiliate products to sell, have a calculator handy and figure out exactly what you’re going to get paid for each sale you generate.

Product Relevance

If you’ve built a custom blog that teaches people to make money online, then those people are already interested in your topic. Imagine trying to sell them an affiliate ebook on model trains? I don’t think you’d sell very many ebooks.

No matter what your blog is about, if you’ve built a following and created a mailing list or subscriber list, then try to make sure the affiliate products you choose have some relevance to what your subscribers are already interested in.

Sales Page

Your job as the affiliate marketer is to promote an affiliate product and entice visitors to visit the product website. From there, it’s up to the product owner to convert each visitor into a sale with their sales page and product description.

If you’ve chosen an affiliate product with a poor sales page or low quality graphics, then you might find your marketing efforts won’t make much profit as the sales conversion rate will be very low.

Always check what the sales page and product presentation looks like before you sign up to promote an affiliate product.

Customer Feedback

Do a quick search online for the product name you’re thinking about promoting. Check out what other customers or other affiliates are saying about this product or about the company selling it.

If the information you find is all positive, then chances are you’ve found a great affiliate product to promote.

If you see any negative feedback, look deeper into why the comments are negative. If you see simple things like ‘no one got back to me’ – these are issues that can be resolved.

However, if you find much more negative input, such as product owners not paying refunds when requested or the product being poor value or poor quality, then avoid this product.

That’s it for Part Three. In Part Four of this series, we’ll be looking at tracking your sales conversions and different ways to capture leads.
