Finding The Best Clickbank Product To Promote
Choosing the right product to promote is essential to succeed with affiliate marketing. There are millions of affiliate marketing products out around, but only a few can make you money. Some products are terrible and don’t work right at all. Another product might be fantastic, but its landing page is bad so visitors are scared away. To make money with affiliate marketing, you need to find a product that’s proven to sell well. Why promote something that nobody wants to buy?
To find our product, we are going to look at the Clickbank network. While there are many excellent affiliate networks out there, Clickbank is one of the best for beginners. They have an enormous selection of digital products to sell, they always send your checks on time, and it is easy to get accepted into the network. Unlike other affiliate networks that require you to apply to promote specific offers, Clickbank lets you promote every offer on their network right away.
Your first step when choosing a product to promote, is to decide a niche. The best way to do this is to brainstorm on a piece of paper 5-10 topics you think you would be interested in. When promoting a product, you will be doing a lot of research and writing about it, so make sure the topics you write down aren’t something that will bore you to death.
Once you have your topics, go login to your Clickbank account and visit the Marketplace section. Clickbank has its products divided into categories, so choose an appropriate category and perform a search for each of your topics. In the search results, you will see a list of products that Clickbank sells that best match your search term. Below each product description, you will see a number of different metrics.
The most important thing to look at, is the gravity. Gravity basically tells you how many affiliates have made sales with this product recently. If a lot of people are making sales with this product then you should have no problems promoting this product as well. As a rule of thumb, try and pick a product with a gravity score over 40. The other metric to look at is the dollars per sale. If you are going to use PPC marketing to drive traffic to your product, then pick a payout greater than $25 per sale. This allows you to cover your advertising expenses and still make a decent profit.
Using the two criteria talked about above, write down the products that satisfy these criteria. Now pick the one that you would be most interested in researching about and selling. You already can tell that other affiliates are doing well with these products, so the key here is picking the product that will keep your interest so you can promote it successfully. This is the first step towards making money online.
