Step Two; How to choose Affiliate programs…

After I have picked my niches and chosed the one I want to start with it is time for step two. That would be choosing affiliate products to promote because our goal here is to make money with affiliate programs.

There is to ways of looking for products. One way is to type in your main keyword + affiliate programs in to google. The other way is to go to big affiliate sites like www.clickbank.com.

I am gonna sell digital products for my niche so the best place for digital products is clickbank. In my opionin the best stuff to sell online is digitalproducts. It is easier to sell and the commisions are higher. In Clickbank you got digital products like, ebooks, videos, audios, softwares and membershipsites.

What I do is to go to Clickbanks.com and go to their marketplace. In there you can search the marketplace by categorie, sub categorie or keyword.

In this case I wrote my main keyword in to the keyword section and clickbank listed up all the products related to my niche. Here is how it looks like…

1) Get Google Pay-Per-Click Ads Free! One Newbie Affiliate Made $53,317 In Just 87 Days Offering This! We Show Proof At Our Affiliate Page! (Check Out Ad At Right Too!) 75% Paid Out! Newly Revised! Contains Magic Code That When Added To Any Site Instantly Eliminates Google Ppc Ads Costs!!
$/sale: $ 41,20 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $ 41,20 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 76.0% | grav: 323,17

When I am choosing a product to promot the first thing I want to do is to look on some things, the first one is $/sale, it is the commision you will get.

The second one is %refd which is how much of the sales is coming from affiliates. The higher the better, that means that affiliates make money with it and I can too.

The third thing is grav: This is what Clickbank says about gravity:

“Number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring a paying customer to the publisher’s products. This is a weighted sum and not an actual total. For each affiliate paid in the last 8 weeks we add an amount between 0.1 and 1.0 to the total. The more recent the last referral, the higher the value added.”

So if the gravity is high than it has had lots of sales from lots of different affiliates over the past eight weeks and that is a good sign.The next thing I do is that I visit the sales page of every product and read them to see if the page will convert visitors in to buyers. I simply put my self in the shoes of the prospects and see if I would by this products. It is important that the salesletter is good or it will be difficult to sell.

That was what I did to choose products for my niche. I say products because I choosed three products to promote. You will see why later as we progress……
